Bet has a numerical value of 2. Best seen as 1 + 1 = 2.
It’s design looks like a floor plan, a tent, or a house.
Bet is significant as it points to the Father and the Son. Yahweh and Yeshua, as they are One. Yeshua, the Word, who became flesh and dwelt among us. Remember the focus of this study is to define how Yeshua is, was and is to come. There is no separation. Yeshua came to do the will of the Father and the Father was well pleased with Him and that sacrifice fulfilled the rescue and paid the price in full to redeem us back to the garden. Stay with me and it will all be unveiled and you will see how each letter points to this as well.
John 14:6 Yeshua saith onto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
As we study Bet, we must keep this truth on the forefront of our journey. We cannot separate the Father from the Son, as they were together since the beginning as seen in Genesis 1 and John 1.
Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God (Elohim, in Hebrew, the triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit) created the heaven and the earth.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Bet is also connected to the Book of Exodus, which is the second Book of the Bible, and the Book ends with the glory of YHVH filling the Temple, which He commanded Moses and the Hebrews to build, with all the exact specifications given by Him. He gave them also all the Dietary Laws in Leviticus to stay clean. YHVH wants us to be holy as He is Holy. He then sent His only Son, that by the shedding of His blood, would pay the price for our redemption and when you put both together, upon accepting Yeshua, Jesus, as our Lord and Savior, we enter into the Covenant. Yeshua is the stone, the foundation, and we are Bet, building our house with HIM. We become the house of the power of the Covenant. This is important to understand early in our walk. This is key to a solid foundation to build one’s life upon and important to pass on to our children, and future generations. This is what I portray in my painting of Bet. The center round part in my painting is not the Daguesh or dot that distinguises between Bet and Vet, the “b” or “v” sound. Some may misinterpret that. It is the glory of YHVH filling the Temple.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 19 Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary. 20 You were God’s expensive purchase, paid for with tears of blood, so by all means, then use your body to bring glory to God!
1 Corinthians 3:9-11 9 We are coworkers with God and you are God’s cultivated garden, the house He is building. 10 God has given me unique gifts as a skilled master builder who lays a good foundation. Afterward another craftsman comes and builds on it. So builders beware! Let every builder do his work carefully, according to God’s standards. 11 For no one is empowered to lay an alternative foundation other than the good foundation that exists, which is Yeshua!
Since the first letter, ALEPH, is silent, and the second letter is Bet, interestingly enough, YHVH or Av, “Father” in Hebrew, is who holds the universe in the palm of His Hands, also has His rules. He commands us to keep them. He blesses us if we keep them. His rules hold all the necessary elements or weapons to live on this earth under the circumstances of also having the demonic spiritual elements to deal with, particularly Satan and all the fallen angels he brought down with him when he was cast out of Heaven. His rules are for our protection.
Bethel – In Hebrew means House of God.
Bethlehem – in Hebrew means House of Bread.
So much of the Old testament speaks of the bread. The Israelites being hungry for bread and crying out to Adonai for bread. Adonai was establishing their dependance on Him. They needed just to have faith. All this points to Yeshua as He said in
Mark 14:22 As they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
Deuteronomy 8:3b Man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. His instructions are important. Yahweh asks that we keep them for a life in His will and in His power, under His protection, and to know the times and the seasons.
A few other Hebrew words with Bet:
Boker – morning, first light
Ben – Son
Bayit – house
Badal – house that opens the door to instruction
Barack – bend the knee
Something I want to leave with you on the Bet is that Yeshua, the Word, dwells in our hearts, that is His housing in us. The scriptures may disappear, but the Word of God, Yeshua has been planted in our hearts. We receive Him into our hearts. The transformation is in our hearts. That is the difference between the scriptures, or breadth of the living God making the scriptures come alive in our spirits as we read them. But when the Bible mentions the Word of God, it is in reference to Yeshua, the Son of God. Yeshua is the Word that dwells in us and among us.
Yeshua even told the Pharisees, read the scriptures, because in them you will find Me.
