Hebrew Letter Vav


The placement of the first Vav in scripture is between the words heaven and earth, implying a connection between the spiritual and physical, and the invisible with the visible matters.  A divine hook that binds them together.

Hook, Peg, Nail #2053 vav וָו

This word only occurs in Ex. 26, 27, 36, 38 when discussing the hooks  by which the curtains of the Tabernacle were hung.

The numeric value of Vav is 6, and man was created on the 6th day.  The Son of Man is a phrase that was used over 80x in scripture. Jesus used it to mean human being but also alluding to His identity in Daniel 7:13,14 as the Messiah. Claiming himself as the Son of Man gave him the best platform to connect with people in all walks of life.  (See Matt.9:6/19:28/20:28)

Luke 1:35 (ESV) says, “And the angel answered her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God’.” (See Matt. 3:16,17)
