{{bl| ELTBefore Father אב }}The Hebrew word *אב* ('ab') means "father," and it can be understood in a deeper sense when broken down into its component letters. The letter *א* ('ah') represents God speaking and creating the heavens and earth, while the letter *ב* ('b') signifies the revelation of God to man. Together, *אב* ('ab') means "father," the one who gives life, and reveals Himself after creation. | {{bl| ELTBefore Father אב }} | ||

In addition to *אב* ('ab' = father), there are other words spelled with the same letters that convey the idea of life and growth. For example, *אב* can also refer to a "green shoot" or "fruit on a tree." This imagery points to the concept of life beginning with the first birth (the green shoot) and being renewed or completed through teaching and growth (the fruit). | In addition to *אב* ('ab' = father), there are other words spelled with the same letters that convey the idea of life and growth.
