- This symbol, ה (Hei), is the fifth letter in the alphabet of the Holy Tongue – the Hebrew language. The Hebrew language assigns a numerical value to each letter as well as meaning and value to theletter forms.
- Each letter has its own numerical value which defines the essence of the letter or the word.The numerical value of the letter 'ה (Hei) is five.
- The letter 'ה (Hei) is the only letter in the Holy tongue, the language of creation, that is comprised of two letters.
- The two letters are the letter Dalet ('ד), whose numerical value is 4; and the letter Yod ('י) ,whose numerical value is 10 (one*). These are two different values, two letters, that represent two completely opposites essences – two essences that lie at the root of the world's opposites, and that together form the letter 'ה (Hei).
- This is where the wonderous essence of the letter Hei (5) is revealed – an essence capable of connecting all opposites in the world, an essence that simultaneously pairs a 'thing' and 'its opposite' in an extraordinary way that enables each letter to retain its complete and unique form and identity, without in any way denying the identity of the other.
- They are both simultaneously one letter, one thing – the letter 'ה (Hei) – the unifying point, a point of unity and peace that stems from the very nature of the letter. ■
