Daily Tidbits 2/23 – Mother Language

Two days ago was ‘Mother Language Day’ so it would be a good time to share a tidbit on the word ‘mother’ and how it displays the true ‘Mother Language’ of all tongues, Hebrew/Edenics.

Mother

The mother is the אם ‘strong waters’ or glue that holds the house/family together.  מ ‘mem’ means waters and also the source or origin as it is affixed to Hebrew words as a prefix meaning ‘from’ or ‘out from’ indicating a source.  This is no surprise as it is the mother from whence all mankind comes, as is spoken of in Scripture.

Gen 3:20  And the man called the name of his wife, Eve; because she became the mother of all living.

It is also no surprise then that the word for peoples עם is related to the word for mother אם ’em’ as א &  ע sound a like and have similar meanings in words.  As seen above, the father also means the source.  In Proto-Japanese the word for mother is ‘papa.’  This is because our Heavenly Father is both ‘male and female.’  Not literally as He is Spirit (John 4:24), but Scripture speaks of ‘adam’ or mankind being created in His Image, both male and female (Genesis 1:27).

This is further seen in the Latin word ‘ab’ which means source or origin.

The Latin word ‘ab’ which ultimately means ‘from the source’ comes from the Hebrew word ‘min’ and then traces back and links to the Hebrew word ‘ab’ which means ‘Father’ who is the source of all.

The first use of ‘ab’ in the Latin Vulgate is found in Genesis 1:6.

Gen 1:6  dixit quoque Deus fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum et dividat aquas ab aquis

Gen 1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters
It is interesting that this word is first used in reference to the dividing of the waters as the Latin word ‘ab’ traces back to water.
‘Ab’ means water in Arabic and the Latin prefix ‘ab’ is used for liquids.  However, the most significant connection to water is seen in the Hebrew letter Mem.
The Letter Mem

The Hebrew letter Mem is related to the Latin word ‘ab’ as it is a preposition with very similar meaning.  It means to comes from or originate from something.

The letter Mem is a picture of waters.  In Ancient Hebrew the letter looked something like this:

Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible pg 27

In the beginning all things came forth from or originated from water.
Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth;
Gen 1:2  and the earth being without form and empty, and darkness on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moving gently on the face of the waters,
Gen 1:3  then God said, Let light be! And there was light.
The letter Mem is also connected to the womb (place of origin).
The numerical value of Mem is 40 which is connected to water (the Flood 40 days and nights of water) and the womb, as an average human pregnancy takes about 40 weeks and it is believed that it takes 40 days from conception to the initial ‘formation’ of the fetus. The salinity of sea water is also the same as the ‘waters’ of the womb. The rebirth is also linked to 40 as Messiah Jesus was baptized in the Jordan by John after 40 days of temptation in the wilderness.

A Womb and a Tomb
Mem is already associated with water and cleansing, but the depth of symbolism goes even further. In both Jewish and Christian understanding, immersion/baptism is a place of death and rebirth. Our old self dies, and our we are born again, clean and renewed. As if this simple symbolism were not enough, the letter Mem literally illustrates this concept.

There are two forms of the letter Mem, one used at the beginning or middle of words (open), and one only used to end a word (closed).

In the Hebrew text an amazing mystery is revealed showing that the Prince of peace will come from the closed womb.  The closed mem should only occur at the end of a word, but in the text it occurs in the middle.  This is the only time in Scripture that this happens.


In Genesis 8, Noah sends forth a dove to when the waters had subsided enough for the earth to be seen.  This too, is a symbol of rebirth.  All throughout Scripture, the number 3 is associated with resurrection as can be seen in the Book of Jonah and the resurrection of Messiah for examples.  On the third day, the earth came forth out of the waters and brought forth life.

Gen 1:9  And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be collected to one place, and let the dry land appear. And it was so.

The Spirit is linked with rebirth
1Pe 3:18  Because even Christ once suffered concerning sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God; indeed being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit;
Rom 8:11  But if the Spirit of the One having raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the One having raised the Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies live through the indwelling of His Spirit in you.

Born Again from Above click here by the Spirit/Word

Joh 3:3   “Yes, indeed,” Yeshua answered him,  “I tell you that unless a person is born again from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
Joh 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Tit 3:5 He saved us, not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His compassion, through the washing of rebirth, and renewal by the Set-apart Spirit,
1Pe 1:23  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1Jo 3:9  Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Jam 1:18  Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Jas 1:21  On account of this, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of evil, in meekness receive the implanted Word being able to save your souls.

Jonah’s name, who was ‘resurrected’ after 3 days and nights in the belly of the fish, means a dove.  Again the link between the Spirit and rebirth.

H3124

The imagery of the dove in connection with the waters and origin/birth/rebirth is seen in Genesis 1

Gen 1:2  and the earth being without form and empty, and darkness on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moving gently on the face of the waters,


‘The Spirit of God hovered over/moving over the waters’
The word translated as hovered comes from the following:

Here we see imagery of a bird hovering over its nest.  YHWH/Jesus is described in this same imagery.
Deu 32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste, a howling wilderness. He encircled him and cared for him; He guarded him as the pupil of His eye.
Mat 23:37  Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning those sent to her. How often I desired to gather your children in the way a bird gathers her chicks under her wings! And you did not desire it.

A replay of this was seen when the virgin Mary conceived and brought forth the Messiah…the Light of the world.  The Spirit hovered over her ‘waters/womb’, the Seed (the Word) was implanted and she brought forth the Tree of Life.

Luk 1:35  And answering, the angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and for this reason that Holy One being born of you will be called Son of God.

Yet again the dove is seen in connection with the ‘rebirth’

Mat 3:16  And having been baptized, Jesus went up immediately from the water. And, behold! The heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God coming down as a dove, and coming upon Him.

Messiah comes from (ab) eternity

Latin Vulgate

Mic 5:2  et tu Bethleem Ephrata parvulus es in milibus Iuda ex te mihi egredietur qui sit dominator in Israhel et egressus eius

 
Mic 5:2  And you, Bethlehem Ephratah, being least among the thousands of Judah, out of you He shall come forth to Me to become One ruling in Israel; and His goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity

In Micah 5:2 the link between ‘ab’ and the letter Mem is seen again as the Hebrew phrase ‘memay olam’ ‘from days of eternity’ where the prefix ‘mem’ is translated as ‘ab’ into the Vulgate.

Another interesting connection is seen here in that ‘eternity’ is from the Hebrew world ‘olam’ which means beyond the horizon in ancient Hebrew thought.  What was beyond the horizon?  The sea.  This is where the sun sets in the West. Hence, ‘from eternity’ is linked to the original waters of creation before anything came into being.  As seen above in Whitaker’s definition, ‘ab’ has the meaning of a ‘remote origin’ as in ‘time.’

Jesus is the Living Waters (the source of all things)
Isa 12:2  Behold, God is my salvation
H3444
Jer 2:13  For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Jer 17:13  O LORD, the hope
Gal 3:27  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ
Those who have been baptized into Messiah have become a type of firstfruits of His creatures.  As seen in the study on
*Interestingly, the etymology of the English word ‘source’ comes from the French ‘sourse’ which means a fountainhead of a stream or river.  Again the connection to the waters at the beginning.

אביב

Another connection between ‘ab’ (Latin) and ‘ab’ (Hebrew) is the letter Mem in the Aramaic square script.  The letter Mem is formed by combining the letter

Kaf is the picture of a hand.  Vav is a picture of a nail.  A nail in the hand.  This connects to the name YHWH even further:

 As seen above, the English word ‘source’ derives from the picture of a fountainhead of a stream or river.  This links to the Hebrew word ‘maqor’ which is pictured by a hole in the hand.

Psa 36:9  For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.

‘Min’ comes from the following root:

Notice that this word traces back to the blood/kind that is inherited from the father (

The English word ‘from’ comes from the Gothic ‘fram’ which corresponds to the Proto-Indo-European ‘pr’ which traces back to the Greek word ‘pro.’ ‘Pro’ means ‘before, forward, in place of’ which again traces back to the Hebrew word ‘min.’Messiah came from the Father

Joh 8:42  Then Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I went forth and have come from God. For I have not come from Myself, but that One sent Me.
From Heaven

All things come forth FROM Messiah

Matter

The English word matter comes from the Latin ‘materia’ which means the inner wood of a tree.  As seen in Genesis 1:9-13

‘Mater’ in Latin also means the source/mother.  In Hebrew, the word for mother is

A Dictionary of Word Origins pg 341 “Matter”

Matter

Matrix of water

Biblical Basis of Modern Science pg 217

“It is significant that, long before men realized this universality of material structure, the bible had indicated that all things, including even human bodies, were made of the dust of the earth.

These basic elements were originally created (Gen. 1:1) as the fundamental components of matter in the space-matter-time cosmos (‘heavens’ – ‘earth’ – ‘beginning’) called into existence by the omnipotent Word of God (John 1:1-3).  This basic ‘unformed’ earth material (Gen. 1:2) was then ‘made ‘ or ‘formed’ by God into complex systems.  Originally suspended and dispersed in a

It is interesting that in Maidu Indian the word ‘mom’ means water.  In Chinese, ‘mu yu’ means bath.  In Japanese ‘umi’ means sea.  In Ancient Egyptian water was ‘aman’ and ‘nun.’  The relation between ‘mom’ and water is also seen in Hebrew through the word

The origin of the word matrix, comes from ‘madrigal.’

Dictionary of Word Origins pg 332 ‘Madrigal’

“Etymologically,

Amazingly, all matter comes forth from a matrix of water in the beginning and was manifested through sound/a song.

Elegant Universe pg 14

“Matter is composed of atoms, which in turn are made from quarks and electrons.  According to string theory, all such particles are actually tiny loops of vibrating string.”

Elegant Universe pg 15

“String theory proclaims, for instance, that the observed particle properties, are a reflection of the various ways in which a string can vibrate.  Just as the strings on a violin or on a piano have resonant frequencies at which they prefer to vibrate – patterns that our ears sense as various musical notes and their higher harmonics – the same holds true for the loops of string theory….each of the preferred patterns of vibration of a string in string theory appears as a particle whose mass and force changes are determined by the string’s oscillatory pattern.”

It is no surprise that pipe, as in a musical instrument, comes from

Another connection between father and mother is the word

In Amazonian the word for vessel ‘datip’, pot is ‘titute’, basket of provision is ‘tetun,’ a basket for domestic us is ‘tsota,’ and an earthenware jar is ‘totopu.’  In Dravidian, a language of India, the word for small box is ‘tati,’ hollow bamboo tube ‘tota,’ water trough ‘totti,’ and a pit is ‘doddo.’  In Japanese the word for tube/pipe is ‘tsutsu.’  In Magyar a bagpipe is ‘duda’ which is another fascinating connection between a bag, mother/matter/matrix and music.  In Turkish a pipe or whistle is ‘duduk.’
