The 7th Letter in Hebrew is the letter “ZAN” (Ancient Hebrew) and “ZAYIN” (Modern Hebrew), meaning “A WEAPON”, symbolizing “CUTTING” or “SEPARATING” . . .
[Zayin] "You shall not commit adultery."
Shemoth/Exodus 20:14 “You do not commit adultery.
7th Commandment
Debarim (Deut) 5:18 ‘You do not commit adultery'.
MattithYahu (Mat) 5:28 “But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Iyob (Job) 31:1 “I have made a covenant with my eyes. How then could I gaze at a maiden?
31:2 For what is the portion of Eloah from above, and the inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
31:3 Is it not calamity to the perverse, and strangeness to the workers of wickedness?
Debarim (Deut) 6:5 “And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might.
Marqos (Mark) 12:30 ‘And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first command.
(summing-up commands 1-4 – it’s about our relationship with the Father).
When Believers speak about adultery, they think it implies only to having sex with someone else, outside of marriage! The majority of Believers COMMIT SPIRITUAL ADULTERY every day and they don’t even realize or know it!
How you might ask?
We read in YirmeYahu (Jer) 3 how Almighty Yahuwah was DISPLEASED with the houses of Yisrael and Yahudah for committing adultery.
YirmeYahu (Jer) 3:8 “And I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Yisra’ĕl had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Yehuḏah did not fear, but went and committed whoring too.
3:9 “And it came to be, through her frivolous whoring, that she defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and wood.
Scripture is clear that our FIRST LOVE and FIRST PRIORITY should be a COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with Father Yahuwah, through His Son Yahushua, by His Ruach Ha'Qodesh)!
If we place anything above or higher than this relationship, we COMMIT ADULTERY!
When we REBEL against the Instructions and Commands of Father Yahuwah (His Torah), choosing to rather believe and yield to the lawless doctrines and traditions of man, we COMMIT ADULTERY!
When we lust after anything material, or the flesh of another being (male or female), we COMMIT ADULTERY!
What is the consequence of ADULTERY -- the same as with all other works of UNrepented lawlessness (which is sin according to 1Yohn 3:4)?
MattithYahu (Mat) 7:21-23 NOT everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens.
7:22 Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’
7:23 And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness.
What does the 7th Commandment and the 7th Hebrew Letter have in common?
“A WEAPON” (COVENANT with Ab Yahuwah, as well as COVENANT with your spouse)
can be used to PROTECT!
The PURPOSE of the WEAPON is to “CUT COVENANT” and to PROTECT and ESTABLISH “lasting covenants”
(with Ab YaHuwah and your spouse)!
“A WEAPON” can also DESTROY (COVENANT)!
The Hebrew word for an enemy that is OUTSIDE of YAHUWAH’s COVENANT is “zar”!
The ancient word picture shows that such a person is a “weapon person”, DESTROYING COVENANT, instead of ESTABLISHING and PROTECTING it!
ADULTERY is associated with the “enemies or weapon people”!
Adultery is what CUTS, DESTROYS, and SEPARATES FROM LIFE!
This IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT calls Believers to be a people of Yahuwah who make and establish His COVENANT
(by guarding His commands), NOT a people of the “weapon” who destroys life!
The number 7 (associated with the Letter “Zayin”) symbolizes SPIRITUAL PERFECTION (KEEPING COVENANT)
Hazon (Rev) 10:7 and 16:7
Rev 10:7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh messenger, when he is about to sound, the secret of Elohim shall also be ended, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
Rev 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar saying, “Yes, יהוה Ěl Shaddai, true and righteous are Your judgments.”
