The letter Dalet is the fourth letter of the Aleph-Bet, having the numeric value of four. The pictograph for Dalet looks something like a closed (hanging) tent door, whereas the classical Hebrew script (ketav Ashurit) is constructed of two lines and a corner point (or overhang) called an "ear." The bent shape of the dalet symbolizes a needy person who is bent over (the word Dalet comes from dalah which means to draw out or impoverish, and the word dalut means poor or impoverished). Dalet's ear is said to be listening for the gemilut chasidim of the approaching Gimmel.
Mysteries of Dalet:Dalet represents lowliness and the consciousness of possessing nothing of one's own. As a door Dalet also symbolically represents the choice to open ourselves to the hope of our dreams or to remain closed off and alienated.The corner point represents the concept of bitul or spiritual self-nullification. Practice of bitul leads to humility, the doorway to God's house, which is attained by the technique known as devekut, cleaving or clinging to God:
Dalet and the Doorway from Judah:Yeshua the Mashiach, of course, was of the tribe of Judah. Interestingly, the name for the tribe (yehudah) contains every letter of the Sacred Name except for the letter Dalet, suggesting that the door to the LORD would come through Judah.
Dalet is a Picture of Humanity in need of Yeshua:The word for religion is (dat), which means the "door of the cross" using the ancient pictographs. The Father (Aleph) sent His Son (Bet) and by means of the Holy Spirit (Gimmel) who makes appeal to the poor and needy to receive the grace of the LORD God of Israel. As Yeshua said, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20).
字母Dalet是希伯来字母表的第四个字母,其数值为4。Dalet的象形文字看起来有点像一个封闭的(悬挂的)帐篷门,而古希伯来文字是由两条线和一个角组成,看起来像是“耳朵”。Dalet弯曲的形状象征著一个需要帮助的人,他弯著腰。(Dalet一词来自dalah,意思是抽出或贫穷,dalut一词的意思是贫穷或贫穷)。Dalet的耳朵据说在倾听Gimmel的恩典。
Dalet的奥秘:Dalet代表着卑微和一无所有。作为一扇门,Dalet也象征着我们选择向梦想和希望敞开大门。Dalet的转角象征著属灵的自我否定。自我的否定也引导我们谦卑下来,这是通往圣殿的大门,透过与上主的谦卑的交流来抓住上主。
Dalet和通往犹大的门:弥赛亚耶稣当然是犹大支派的,有趣的是犹大支派(יהודה)的名字包含耶和华的四字圣名 (יהוה)就差Dalet一个字母。就如通往上主的门来自于犹大。
Dalet的描绘的是人类需要耶稣:宗教一词是דת (dat),按照古代希伯来象形文字的含义是“十字路口的门”。圣父(Aleph)差遣圣子(Bet),通过圣灵(Gimmel)来接近贫穷和有需要的人,赐福给他们。正如耶稣说 “看哪、我站在门外叩门.若有听见我声音就开门的、我要进到他那里去、我与他、他与我一同坐席。 ”(启示录3:20)。
