The *נ* (Nun) is a letter that symbolizes the "Son of Man," and when compared to the *כ* (Kaf), which represents the Son of God, the *נ* emphasizes a humble, self-restrained choice not to use His divinity, nor to have earthly family as humans do. This self-emptying, also known as the "kenosis" (Philippians 2:7), is a significant aspect of Jesus' earthly ministry, reflecting His choice to not rely on His divine nature, but to live fully as a man. | The *נ* (Nun) is a letter that symbolizes the "Son of Man," and when compared to the *כ* (Kaf), which represents the Son of God, the *נ* emphasizes a humble, self-restrained choice not to use His divinity, nor to have earthly family as humans do.
