okay good evening thank you all for joining us again welcome back this is part two of the creation code so last week we spoke about how rashon the holy hebrew language is kodesh it's sacred it's unique it's totally different than any other language other languages the words are arbitrary they don't speak to the essence of the what they are trying to convey you take random letters put them together and by convention by agreement in other languages they mean those words mean what we understand them to me as opposed to with la shona kodesh actually the words themselves the letters that make up the words all combine to describe exactly what is being spoken about and it's uh it's intrinsic it's within the word itself that uh that we find the actual meaning and interpretation of that word so we mentioned we explored the question how are we supposed to find out how do we discover what the meaning behind any given letter is and we presented a few a few different ways and that we'll share again and begin with that so just to review we mentioned five ways that we can discover how to determine the meaning of a letter so based on the name of a letter we mentioned last week a few letters we learned about pay pay is a mouth we learned about i'm sorry an opening pay would have the would speak about the idea of opening something we learned about the letter bet base like a buy it to house bayes has a connotation of something internal inside we learned about lamid lamid is to teach for a goal for a purpose so lamid is you know aiming for aiming for a for for a purpose aiming for a mission
