Hebrew word pictures for Priest / Cohen
Learnt this from Pastor Lian’s 26 September 2010 sermon.
The English transliteration for Hebrew word for priest is Cohen which reads:
כֹּהֵן
כֹּ
The first letter is prounced – kaph - has the pictograph of a hand placed over someone’s head in blessing.
הֵ
The next letter is pronounced – hey – has the pictograph of a window which we understand as God’s Grace.
ן
The last letter of Cohen is – nun – has the pictograph of fishes. Fishes carry the idea of a multitude of people. “… fishers of Men …”" (Matt 4:19)
Therefore putting the 3 letter together we have:
Our high priest, Jesus, imparts grace blessing to us (the multitiude of believers).
