Good Hebrew: True Love is the Love of Truth

Bible, Misc. | July 6, 2022 | Ezekiel, Misc

[Ezekiel]

(and true love never dies.)

"True love" is ahavat emet [אהבת אמת], but technically it is the phrase "love of truth".

Here is a little discussion about it. The subject matter is bad Hebrew tattoos.

For comparison and contemplation:

Exodus 3

1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

True love is the love of truth, and true love never dies.

Together as one, just "us":

To get started, we look at a construction called smichut in Hebrew - literally, "closeness" - translated as "the construct" in English (creating the unfortunately alliterative phrase "construct construction"). 'Smichut' is one way of expressing "of" in Hebrew, and it consists of two words side by side that are essentially pronounced as one word.

For the concept behind smichut, here's a list of words in this root family (samech-mem-kaf, which is the letter samech, meaning support, and more)

[Ezekiel]

The letter samech [ס] is actually the concealed fish of the Hebrew alefbeit. I'll add that info when I have the time. It's important because it follows directly after the revealed fish, the letter nun [נ]. Pronounced as one word, nun-samech spells "nes" [נס], a miracle.

‘The Truth’ is GOD.
The Truth about
‘The Truth’is The Bible.

[Ezekiel]

1 John 4

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Proverbs 8

[Ezekiel]

The letter samech [ס] is actually the concealed fish of the Hebrew alefbeit. I'll add that info when I have the time. It's important because it follows directly after the revealed fish, the letter nun [נ]. Pronounced as one word, nun-samech spells "nes" [נס], a miracle.

It's like the "one that got away". Nothing a time machine can't recover.

"your name": שמך

pronounced
shmech (fem. sg.)
shimcha (masc. sg.)

"trout": שמך

pronounced
shemech

The word for trout begins with the letter shin, pronounced as sh, but its origin is in the letter samech.

Matthew 4

16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

From the root س م ك‎ (s-m-k), meaning “to be elevated or lofty”, “to be supported or held up”, “to sustain”; hence the meaning of “a source of sustenance”, “a mainstay or staple-food”.

Cognate with Hebrew סָמַך‎ (samak, “to lean, lay, rest, support”) attested in the Bible with the similar semantic sense “to sustain” or “to nourish”.[1]

Noun
سَمَك • (samak) m (collective, singulative سَمَكَة‎ f (samaka), plural أَسْماك‎ (ʾasmāk) or سِمَاك‎ (simāk) or سُمُوك‎ (sumūk))

Arabic - fish

The letter samech:

Concept: The cyclical nature of experience, and the equanimity that it brings.
Meaning: To support; to rely on; ordination; construct form (in grammar).
Shape: A complete circle or ring.
Number: 60.

 

The modern Hebrew word for trout comes from the Arabic, which lacks a letter corresponding to a samech. Therefore, this "samech" fish of support/sustenance slipped back into Hebrew, spelled with the letter shin:

שמך

= 360, representing the concept of the "cyclical nature of experience", full circle (the shape of the letter samech: ס)

The letter shin spelled out [שין] = 360

The letters nun and samech are two fishes.

Mark 6:41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

It's a miracle.

You should see the one that got away. Can DO:

Genesis 32

26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there [שם].

Thy name שמך.

Wherever you find trout, you'll find a rout. There's no going back. :)
