Aleph a & A
Aleph (looks like Latin/Roman A) has a beginning form found as the lines in the palms of the hands cupped together, with the final form of Aleph seen as the nose with mustache upon the face (See Samekh & Tav). This letter is an image of the strong ox which is one of the sacrificial animals. The animals sacrificed upon the altar are the ox, ram/lamb/goat, and the dove/pigeon (Lev 1:2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17). The dove is a type of pigeon representing the Lord the Holy Spirit (Jhn 1:32). The Lord's Pesach (Passover) representing Yeshua (Jesus) the Lamb of G‑d (God) is a singular word making all the lambs and goats sacrificed for Pesach to be one sacrifice (Ex 12:3, 5, 11; 1 Cor 5:7). The ox, then, represents the Lord the Father with horns of wrath that bring about life (see The Altar).
The name for the beginning letter, Aleph, means oxen or 1000. Though 1000 is not the last number, it is a number ending and beginning a cycle of three multiples of ten (Base 10: 10, 100, 1000) and is seen as the last number of the cycle (million, billion, trillion, and so on are all multiples of 1000). So Aleph, the letter in the beginning (of the alphabet) with a name of a last number, has the meaning of the first and the last that never ends, an attribute of the Lord the letter represents.
The light that was brought forth on day one (Gen 1:3, 4, 5) from the unseen first physical letter (Hydrogen) represents the unseen Lord, who gives life to all his creation (1 Tim 6:13; 1 Jhn 1:5). Nothing lives without the light that shines to give life to the dust of Arets (Earth).
