Hebrew-D-Daleth-Hieroglyph-Hand

There are around 16 ways to speak Hebrew and 9 of them are extinct so this will give you an idea of the possibility of the meanings and connotations that are involved with daleth

worldwide. The reasons why things were named what they were named go through changes over thousands of years.

I threw in some of the beginning details here for you to consider.

The overall conscious nature of a species is determined by the evolution of that species and each little detail that transforms that species, in any way, affects the consciousness of the

group. As each individual (within the collective) comes to agree on a certain term, that term gains energy.

Little by little day after day, millennium after millennium, this energy increases.

Not only with a letter or number but with anything that has been found agreeable or agreed upon, by a large number of people.

Let me just say there are tons of references to Daleth that have been agreed upon or billions.

It has deep cosmic undercurrents in Cabala with the connection of opening the force of creation and the door to the inner mysteries.

Why it represents a hand and a door would most likely have to do with the fact that the word Daleth starts with a d sound.

A door was already called Daleth before the symbol came to represent it.

So it was named that way because whoever was first writing it wanted a representation for the d sound and since daleth meant and means door in Hebrew, it works.

It's possible that someone thinking of the right word and symbol to use looked up to a door and drew the outer two edges of it.

Of course there are stories of God ascending or having an angel ascend with the divine and sacred knowledge to impart to man on a golden tablet or sacred carvings on stone.

I prefer to look at the evolution of not only symbols but also mankind not only in the physical nature but the spiritual evolution of their ways thoughts and behaviors.

Back then, with no Internet or television, visual glyphs ran a close second for entertainment and interest aside from a party, play or stoning someone to death.

The Egyptian glyph was probably named in the same way but shows as a hand. The two cultures have been close since the dawn of man but still weren't the same.

Hand in hand or more like slave in hand. The Jews were known for colonization around tree thousand years after the Egyptians.

They took land North East of Egypt but were less developed in military and were taken as slaves after land conquests by war, for centuries I'm sure.

Of course they warred amongst themselves and each other but they both had another problem.

For both of these cultures (Jewish and Egyptian) there was a mutual problem of being conquered by either the Persians, Romans, Greeks, Babylonians or somebody nearby and

having all of their temples destroyed, libraries burned and families enslaved. How does this have to do with the alphabet?

This is the period when it evolved and a period when their associations developed.

Some of the earliest known findings of any records (scratched in stone) are thought to be of trade records and slaves are on the list.

Thought to be the earliest found carvings.

Slavery was commonplace and these cultures needed to have a common form of communication to give orders. Even though they were separate cultures they were forced to live

and work together. Romans and Greeks eventually became the largest landowners and so took dominance in what cultural influences would be used and methods of social

order would be applied at that time.

The point is; that while this alphabet was evolving the cultures were also clashing and intermixing in all ways.

Look at the many similarities A, B, G, and D instead of C in Hebrew and Greek.

There are tons of intermixing nuances between all of these cultures and it's actually still progressing today.

Alphabets evolved while nations clashed and warred and these conquests were a determining factor in what language was being used that week.

Around 12000 years ago, it is believed, that people began to colonize around the Nile river area.

There were already people there but a much larger group moved in to hunt and fish and this was the beginning of the Egyptian civilization which took another 7000 years to

develop it's first kingdom by King Menes (3150 BC) and then after that began the dynasties that carried on to build the pyramids starting around 5000 years ago.

The point here is; it's the culture that creates the letter to represent the spoken sound along with the other associations it has.

It has everything to do with the beginning of d as a written symbol and what it represents as ideas.

So it's the evolution of the culture and the need to represent a spoken word, symbolically, that creates angles and curves of an alphabet.

After the letter was written the first time someone had to agree that it represented d and then get the agreement of another person and so on. Here is a short list of those agreements.

Daleth meaning door in Hebrew, associating to guarding, entering, home, hospitality, welcoming, pleasure, cordiality, pleasantness, merriment, partying, happiness.

Then there are the esoteric meanings that carry on with psychic ability, cosmic connection, witchcraft, sex, higher female nature, love.

The basics of the origin of the letter dalet or daleth are pretty easy to grasp, door.

All you have to do is think of the significance of the word and how it applies.

A door is an entry or an exit depending on direction.

Way in or way out.

Knock and the door shall be opened.
