The 9th Letter in Hebrew is the Letter “TET” (Ancient and Modern Hebrew) and means
“TO SURROUND” or “SNAKE”.
[Tet] "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."
Shemoth/Exodus 20:16 “You do not bear false witness against your neighbour.
9th Commandment
Debarim (Deut) 5:20 "You do not bear false witness against your neighbor".
This commandment can be traced back to the serpent (snake) in the Garden of Eden! He bore false witness against Yahuwah, twisting His Word and deceived both Adam and Hawwah (Eve)! He has continued with his cunning deceit on earth, constantly twisting Scripture, offering a [believable] counterfeit, luring unsuspected Believer into sinning!
The word “false” in this Commandment comes from the Hebrew root word [shav] and is [also used] in the 3rd COMMANDMENT . . .
H7723
שׁו שׁואo shâv' shav shawv, shav
From the same as H7722 in the sense of desolating; evil (as destructive), literally (ruin) or morally (especially guile); figuratively idolatry (as false, subjectively), uselessness (as deceptive, objectively; also adverbially in vain): - false (-ly), lie, lying, vain, vanity.
The word “witness” in this Commandment comes from the Hebrew root word . . .
H5707
עד ‛êd ayd
From H5749 contracted; concretely a witness; abstractly testimony; specifically a recorder, that is, prince: - witness.
H5749
עוּד ‛ûd ood
A primitive root; to duplicate or repeat; by implication to protest, testify (as by reiteration); intensively to encompass, restore (as a sort of reduplication): - admonish, charge, earnestly, lift up, protest, call (take) to record, relieve, rob, solemnly, stand upright, testify, give warning, (bear, call to, give, take to) witness.
satan is the accuser of believers and will resort to any tactics to deceive believers, luring them into following his corrupt example of unrighteousness (lawlessness), enticing them into falsely accusing their neighbor(s), thus taking on his character of deceit and sin, keeping them in bondage to his reign of darkness!
In CONTRAST, believers who guard and observe the Instructions (Torah) of Ab (Father) Yahuwah will SURROUND their neighbor, PROTECTING them from false accusation(s), and they will EXPOSE any said accusation(s), establishing righteousness!
So too, Yahushua Messiah (our Advocate) and the Ruach Qodesh of Yahuwah (our Witness) testifies on our behalf when the accuser falsely accuses those walking in righteousness (obedience to the Torah of Yahuwah)!
This letter carries BOTH a PROMISE and a WARNING!
The Hebrew word for “SIN” is “CHATA”, informing us that sin is a FENCE that [SURROUNDS] STRONGLY or the FENCE of the [snake’s] strength!
In CONTRAST, the Hebrew word for TRUST is “BE-TACH”, meaning that both safety and trust come when we are INSIDE the [SURROUNDING] FENCE!
( I Lucian )
We must choose which one of the two meanings we will follow – we can [SURROUND] ourselves and others with FALSE ACCUSATIONS or we can CHOOSE TRUTH, LOVE and TRUE FRIENDSHIP/BROTHERHOOD!
The latter choice reflects the heart of Father YAHUWAH, whereas the first choice reflects the deceit of the serpent – the Accuser!
The choice of TRUTH, LOVE and FRIENDSHIP can be seen in the Hebrew word for SAFETY which speaks of a [SURROUNDING] for the sake of PROTECTION, instead of ATTACK!
( I ) We must daily ask ourselves . . .
Whose example will (I) we follow?
Who will (I) we imitate?
Who will (I) we serve?
Yahushua Messiah or the snake?
The number 9 (Letter Tet) also symbolizes VISITATION Ruach Qodesh of Yahuwah
Luqas (Luk) 19:43-44
Luk 19:43 “Because days shall come upon you when your enemies shall build a rampart around you, and surround you and press you on all sides,
Luk 19:44 and dash you to the ground, and your children within you. And they shall not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
Luke 19:43
(e-OSE1) Because of your great sin, the YAoms (movements of YA) will come when your enemies will throw up barricades against you, surround you, and block you in on every side.
Luke 19:44
(e-OSE1) They will overcome you and crush you, your children and even your children within you even if you lie surrendered on the ground. They will not leave around you one stone on another, because you did not seek to understand Him in the time of your visitation."
