TSadey     j & J

“None laying the hand upon the plow and looking toward what's behind are useful to the kingdom of G-d,” - (Luk 9:62). To look to the right or to the left is to take your eyes off the Lord (oxen, see Aleph) and turn toward sin (Josh 1:7; Prv 4:25, 26, 27; Isa 30:21). To turn to that which is behind you is to turn from the Lord and follow after transgression. To the side of a person's journey through life lays the enemy ready for ambush. (This is how this letter's meaning is related to words with the meaning of side, hunted, snare, ambush, and enemy.) So, as a believer in Yeshua (as Lord and Savior) sins, his (/her) path moves away from the Lord; and he is unfit for service of the kingdom until he turns from his sin and back toward the Lord. With the outer Holy Place facing the front to the east and the Holy of Holies at the back toward the west (Hebrew words are similar or the same words: east = in front, west = behind = sea [the sea is to the west in Yisra'el], south = right, north = left), the tabernacle of a man's head facing the east would have the controlling brain and spinal cord to the west with the exhaling of death (CO2) moving toward the east and the inhaling of life (O2) moving west. The 2 spherical halves of the brain in the holy of holies of the head (see Nun) are representing the Lord the Father and the Lord the Son with the spinal cord representing the Lord the Spirit (see Symbolism of Shape), all being the foundation of the body filling the skull and spinal column. The 12 ribs to the right and the 12 to the left, each in the shape of a shepherd's staff (see Lamed) filled with air (lungs, the Spirit), represent the 12 tribes of Yisra'el and the 12 apostles of Yeshua. All 24 ribs are laid on 12 of the 24 vertebra surrounding the spinal cord. The lower 12 vertebra represent the 12 tribes of Yisra'el with the upper 12 vertebra representing the 12 apostles of Yeshua. The coccyx bones appear as a tongue to the 5 fused bones of the sacrum, appearing as the head of a snake, with the 24 vertebra making up the body of the snake. This snake is Yeshua, who became the snake lifted up for our sins, with the coccyx bones in the area of the sacrifice's death (food is sacrificed to give us life with the death of the food resulting in a bowl movement at the coccyx area) (Jhn 3:13, 14, 15). The body of the snake, the Family (Church) of the Lord, making up the spinal column shows a journey of moving from sin at the snake's head up to the Holy of Holies at the brain. This journey (spinal column) looks straight as seen from the front or back; but from the side it can be seen how the journey has moved from the rear to the front, then to the rear and back to the front, and then finishes at the back of the head; just as, man was with the Lord in the beginning and turned toward sin away from the Lord, then was guided back to the Lord by the Lord the Spirit (spinal cord enters into the lumbar between 1st & 2nd Lumbar), who came from the Lord (head) through the body of Yeshua to our unclean bodies to renew with clean spirits those in Yeshua (the neck of 7 bones moves from the back to the front) (Gen 2:22, 3:8, 23, 24; Mt 3:11; Jhn 16:7, 8; Mt 28:19). So, to the enemy at the side, a believer's walk away from the Lord toward death (east, front, direction of exhale, sin) and then turning from sin toward the Lord (west, behind, direction of inhale) can be seen; but to the Lord from the front or from behind the journey from sin (coccyx) up to him (head) is a straight line, because, “As far as the direction of the sunrise from the direction of the sunset is how far removed from us are our transgressions,” - (Psm 103:12) to the Lord, who sits enthroned above with all glory and honor and praise due to him.

The 18th letter, TSadey, has a beginning image of the head and backbone together, which are the foundation of the body, being seen in the bottom of the left foot and in the right wrist of the hand with the bohen (toe, thumb) of both as the head. The backbone image of the foot has the heel of the foot in the same place as the snake head (coccyx), revealing, “...he will strike/overcome your head and you (the enemy) will strike/overcome his heel,” - (Gen 3:15).

The final form is an image of the backbone (journey) and a pair of ribs filled with air (lungs), as is seen in the nostril or ear. The ear, nostril, & kidney direct physical bodies (particles); just as, the staff in the shape of Lamed (see Lamed), which forms the outer shape of the ear (helix), is used in the directing of a physical body. (The eye aligns with the light seen / the light directs the eye as long as the eye is not being distracted by shadows.) This points toward the Lord the Spirit (wind/air), who indwells the Body (Believers, lungs/ribs), to guide and direct the Body in their walk/journey (spine) in righteousness and holiness to bring glory and honor and praise to the Lord. This is why the muscle for taking in air (diaphragm) into the body also aligns (directs) the back. Glory and honor and praise be to the Lord forever, amen.
