The 6th Letter in Hebrew is the Letter “Uau” (Ancient Hebrew) or "Waw"/"Vav" (Modern Hebrew), symbolizing “A NAIL” and “A HOOK”!
[Waw]"You shall not murder.
Shemoth/Exodus 20:13 “You do not murder.
6th Commandment
Debarim (Deut) 5:17 ‘You do not murder’
Ya’aqob (Jam) 4:2 You desire, and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and are unable to obtain. You strive and fight, and you do not possess, because you do not ask.
In the above Scripture, we see that murder is associated with lust, jealousy, strive, fighting and unbelief!
This letter creates a BOND – 2 objects or people are JOINED together.
This bond of life, family and community is BROKEN by murder!
In MattithYahu (Mat) 5:21-22 our Messiah warned us that whoever was ANGRY with his (male and female) brother BROKE the six Commandment!
MattithYahu (Mat) 5:21-22 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.
22 “But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gehenna.
We are “NAILED” to what we “LUST AFTER”!
The word picture for lust tells us that it is the “STRONG NAIL”!
Think about it for a moment – why do people commit murder?
They want what they can’t have (whatever they lust after -- like money, power, sex, etc) or what they have lost (lusted after)!
This Commandment in an expression of Ab (Father) YaHuWaH’S heart – we are to VALUE others ABOVE our own lives, above our pride, possessions and shortcomings!
The Letter Uau (Waw) [number 6] is also the number of man.
Bereshith (Gen) 1:26-28 And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth.”
27 And Elohim created the man in His image, in the image of Elohim He created him – male and female He created them.
28 And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, “Bear fruit and increase, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over all creatures moving on the earth.”
