First Alphabet (Aleph-Bayit)

     Genesis 4:15 tells us how the Lord placed a mark on Cain that others would understand so Cain would not be killed. This means writing was around way before this occurrence. As you will be able to see as you continue, the first alphabet was prophetic of things to come 1000s of years in the future, something men or angels can not accomplish. This leaves us with an alphabet that the Lord, Creator of Heaven and Earth, created. This first language and writing was Hebrew. Different languages and their writings came into existence after the tower of Babel (Gen 11:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). (It can be shown that all languages came from Hebrew. This is something I may introduce into this site sometime in the future.)

     Each letter of the first alphabet is a picture of the definition of the letter, with the sound of the letter being the first letter of the name of the picture, which is also the name of the letter itself. With each letter having its own definition, a word becomes defined by the arrangement of the letters within the word. (Click Map to see an example)

     Words written with the first alphabet are read from right to left. The word אב (AB) () is the Hebrew word for father/dad. By understanding the definition of א (A) () (creator, leader, king) and ב (B) () (house, tent, tabernacle), the definition of the word אב can be understood as creator/leader/king of the house/tent/tabernacle. As the letters are understood more fully, the words defined by them become clearer in meaning.
