Kaph     k & K & 3

Kaph is the 11th letter (sounding like and looking similar to the Latin/Roman K). The beginning form of the letter is seen in the top side of the right hand with the four etsba'ot (fingers) bent upon themselves (as in the letter Wav). The 2nd form is seen from the palm (front) of the hand with the etsba'ot clenched upon the palm in a fist seen as a rock. The final form is an image of the open palm as seen in the right ear.

The 4 etsba'ot of a hand, representing the body of Yeshua, are bent upon themselves to show him who was straight (clean, holy, without sin) made crooked by the sin of the Body of man (Wav in the bent etsba'ot) Yeshua took upon himself, though he had never sinned. The palm has 5 bones within it, and the etsba'ot bent upon the palm reveals the Cross on the end of the fist (see Bayit) through which life is given to the Body of Yeshua, the Church (12 [13] sections of etsba'ot, see Lamed), represented by the second form of Kaph, the Menorah (branched Lampstand (Rev 1:20) upon the Rock (fist).

Yeshua, though always existed, was born of a virgin to become man in the flesh without sin (skipped the seed of the man, and blood of child never mixes with the child's mother) (1st letter form) to become sin as he was leaning against the Cross and crushed for our sins by the Lord's wrath upon him. Kaph has the sound of the judgment hammer crushing the nails through to the Cross. Through this crushing by the horns (nails/Oxen-horns) upon the Cross, Yeshua became the Cornerstone of the House of the Lord, giving spiritual life to those dying in the flesh (2nd letter form) (2 Cor 5:21; Isa 53:4, 5, 6; 1 Pet 2:24; Heb 10:10, 12, 14, 17; Isa 28:16; 1 Pet 2:4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Yeshua, the Sacrificial Lamb, shed his blood to open the Door to the Holy of Holies, that all who are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb may have eternal life and enter into the Face of the Lord (final letter form) (Mt 27:5-51; Heb 10:19, 20). Yeshua died on the Cross putting an end to the punishment of sin, of those redeemed into the Body of Yeshua, and rose from the grave to give victorious life to the Body of Believers in Yeshua. This is shown when the bent etsba'ot, branched lampstand, straighten into the open palm, opening the door at the knuckles, in the final form of Kaph. And so, the righteous House (Family) of Yeshua shall flourish like the palm laid at the feet of our Lord as he entered Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) as the Lamb brought in for the Sacrifice on the tenth of the first month (Lev 23:40; Neh 8:14, 15; Song 7:7; Psm 92:12, 13, Ex 12:2, 3, 4,5, 6; Mt 21:8; Jhn 12:1, 9, 12, 13).

Notice Yoseph (Joseph), the 11th son of Yisra'el (Israel), suffered for the sin of his brothers (brothers represent Yisra'el: they were going to kill Yoseph but sacrificed a substitute goat (Pesach/Passover)) to redeem them from the death (famine in the land) they deserved (Gen 37:12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36; 43:1; 45:6, 7, 8).

Salt represents the Lord the Father's holiness/fire/wrath upon all that is unholy in his presence (See The Altar) (Gen 19:26; Dt 29:23; Psm 107:34; Ezk 43:24; Zeph 2:9; Mrk 9:47, 48, 49). For the Lord the Father is holy, nothing unholy can come into his presence without his holiness trying to remove the unholiness from his presence. Salt (NaCl) is made with the 11th and 17th physical letters (elements) representing the 11th and 17th Hebrew letters (the letters in the word Kaph) to give salt the meaning of the opening in the palm of hand, which represents the opening in Yeshua's pierced palm of hand. Yeshua was crushed/gored by the spikes in wrath by the Father upon the Cross/sins Yeshua willingly took upon himself for a person who is willing to repent (turn from sin) and make Yeshua their Lord and Savior turning their sin's burden over to him. Yeshua then opens the door to this person, who is made holy through the life blood spilled from Yeshua's openings onto death and resurrection, to enter into the Lord's home/family in holiness to stand before the holy Lord with hands open in love (Rom 10:9-11).
