Introducing the DALET
From: https://mazorbooks.wordpress.com/2020/10/19/dalet/
- DALET is the fourth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.
- The numerical value of DALET is 4
- In modern Hebrew, the frequency usage of the letter DALET is 2.59%.
- The Hebrew letter DALET sounds like ‘D’ in DOOR.
- DALET is one of six letters that may have a DAGESH (dot) in their ‘belly.’ In the past, a DALET with a DAGESH had a different sound. In modern Hebrew, there is no distinction between a DALET with or without a DAGESH. (For more about the DAGESH and NEKUDOT, click https://mazorbooks.wordpress.com/2020/08/20/nekudot
- The DALET’s letters – דלת (dalet, lamed, tav), are the same as the letters that spell DELET, a door.
- The DALET also stands for the poor. דל (dalet, lamed).
More about the letter DALET
The Hebrew letter Dalet (ד) is the fourth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, carrying a numerical value of 4. It is pronounced as the “d” sound in English, as in the word “door.”
Dalet has symbolic significance in various contexts. The letter’s shape, resembling an open door, reinforces its association with doorways and passages, new beginnings, opportunities, and possibilities. It is a letter associated with transition and transformation, signifying movement from one state to another.
Moreover, Dalet is associated with the concept of choice. When standing before a doorway, one can pass through or remain where they are. The Dalet serves as a reminder of individuals’ power to shape their destiny.
In the Hebrew Bible, the Dalet is linked to the fourth day of creation when God created the sun, moon, and stars. This connection symbolizes the emergence of new light and order in the world.
