Breath of longing


 Short Lesson: The Breath of Longing – אהPronunciation Key (Modern Sephardic/Israeli) אָהּ – ʾāh (glottal + open “ah” – like a sigh)

אָהַב – ʾāhav (glottal + “ah” + “hav”)

אֹהֶל – ʾōhel (glottal + long “o” + “hel”)

1. The Core Breath: אָהּ (ʾāh)Meaning: “Ah! / Alas! / Woe!” – a raw exhale of longing.

Picture: A sigh that opens the throat – the first sound of desire, curiosity, or grief.

Concept: אָהּ is the seed of all אה-words – a breathing toward someone or something not yet ours.

2. אָהַב (ʾāhav) – Longing for Family (ב)Root: אָהַב = to love / cherish / desire.

Breakdown: אָהּ = the sigh of longing

+ ב = into the house / family

Meaning: “I sigh to bring you into my home (ב)” → love, marriage, covenant.

Example: (אֲהָבָה) ʾăhāvâ = love – the breath that builds a family.

3. אֹהֶל (ʾōhel) – Longing for Instruction (ל)Root: אֹהֶל = tent / dwelling.

Breakdown: אָהּ = the sigh of longing

+ ל = to teach / toward / authority

Meaning: “I sigh to bring you into my tent (ל)” → for protection, teaching, discipleship.

Father’s Role: The head of the tent breathes instruction into his household.

Example: (אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד) = Tent of Meeting – where God teaches His people.

Revelation For The Preservation Of The Remnant

Chapter 1 The Mark of the Beast Empire The Holy Scriptures were intentionally written in a way so that the impure in heart could read and not understand, but the pure in heart would be able to understand, and through much patience and deep study, with prayer, decipher the hidden secrets within. This is certainly true of Scriptures relating to salvation and is even more true with prophetic Scriptures. This is abundantly true of the subject of the “mark of the beast,'' as mentioned in Revelation 13. In order to understand who are these beast empires, we must learn of the historical kingdoms that were before them and how all the kingdoms related to the people of Yah who are called by His name. I will show just how each of these kingdoms related to the people of Yah and how that applies to the beast kingdoms that would stay in power until the return of Yeshua Hamashiach [Yeshua the Messiah] to establish his kingdom upon the Earth. I've noticed in my communication with other p...

Aleph/Beyth

  ABAR : The Stone That Crosses Over A Hebraic Word-Study on Father, Son, Stone, and Intergenerational Righteousness By @jelyel15 Draft v1.0 – November 06, 2025 Abstract The Hebrew root cluster אב ( Ab , father) → בן ( Ben , son) → אבן ( Eben , stone) → בר ( Bar , son) → עבר ( abar , to cross over) reveals a deliberate linguistic arc: the stone ( eben ) is the covenantal bridge between paternal authority and filial destiny . When the son ( bar ) sees ( ayin ) the father’s sin, he must cross over ( abar ) and build a new house, confessing ancestral iniquity so that it does not cross with him (cf. Ex 34:7 ; Num 14:18 ). This mechanism finds its eschatological apex in the Stone the builders rejected ( Ps 118:22 ; Mt 21:42 ) and the promise that the children of the rejectors will judge their fathers (Mt 12:27). 1. אב | Ab – The Strong Man of the House Letter Pictograph Core Meaning א Aleph Ox head Strength, leader, first ב Beyth Tent/house Household, inside Literal: ...

Giants/Rephaiym

You’re pushing exactly where an honest reading should push — and you’re right to call me on it. Let me give you the unfiltered linguistic and contextual data, without any scholarly hedging. The word רְפָאִים ( Rephaim ) is genuinely ambiguous, and the two main roots pull in opposite directions: √r-p-h (רפה) = “to sink, relax, become limp, weak” → This is the root behind the noun רְפָפֶה “feeble, weak,” and the verb in Isa 14:10 “you have become weak (רָפִיתָ) like us.” → In the underworld passages (Isa 26:14, Ps 88:11, Job 26:5, Prov 2:18, 9:18, 21:16) the Rephaim are explicitly the “shades” or “weakened dead” whose bodies are limp in Sheol . √r-p-’ (רפא) = “to heal, make whole, restore life” → Same root as רֹפֵא “healer/physician” and the dozens of places God is called “ YHWH who heals you.” → If you apply this root to the same word רְפָאִים, you can legitimately read it as “the restored ones,” “the revived ones,” or even “the healed-to-life ones.” So the word itself is a perfect p...
