My Eyes see Your Eyes Y'hava

The Redeemer

The Sages tell us that Ya’aqov gave his sons a secret password that would clearly, and unambiguously, identify the redeemer. When Yosef told the Israelite elders that the time for their redemption was near, he gave them this same sign by which they would recognize their redeemer. The code word that Yosef gave to tell the Israelite elders was: h,sep sep (pakod pakadti).

We find the word sep, pakod, used in many different ways in the Torah. Here are a few examples : Remembered, Appointed, Count, Missing.

The ambiguous meaning of pakod suggests that HaShem is telling us more than one message.

One of the messages suggested by our Hakhamim is that the redeemer would be able to count the exact appointed time for the redemption.

This is a quote from my post on the Times of Enoch and as I was looking at it again this morning, I picked up on the Legend of the Remembering. It appears that Jacob gave Joseph a Catch Phrase, so to speak, that would enable their descendants to identify the Redeemer when he arrived and at the time of Moses only one person remembered what the Phrase was and she correctly identified Moses as God's Man of the Hour for their Redemption - see the article below for the details.

So, as I am reading the individual's explanation of this Legend, it occurs to me that it is very similar to the Sacred Name that God gave to Moses and which Israel lost at the time of the Babylonian Captivity 2700 Years ago.

The word used for Remember - Pakad - is related to the Hebrew Word Pak (Strong's 6378) which means a Vial or Flask or, as the AV translates it, a Box and thus would imply a container in which one keeps valuables or a Treasure which is how Y'shua describes the Ten Lost Tribes (i.e. the Treasure Hid in the Field and Ten Lost Coins) and Judah (Pearl of Great Price) and, in general, how Y'hova views His People (The Apple of His Eye). Now, it turns out that the Pacad Passage is the very passage where Moses tells the Israelites that very Sacred Name. Thus, it is as if the two are related and that, sometime in the future, just as Y'hova remembered Israel, someone from Israel will remember Y'hova and that specifically through the restoration of the Sacred Name. I believe Y'shua himself knew and used the Sacred Name during the years of his ministry but the disciples didn't realize it at the time and that the Name has continued in obscruity to our day and age.

I myself have tried to discover what the Sacred Name is and exactly how it is pronounced about four or five times through the years with no success. But then, this past summer, as I was looking closer at the name of Joseph, I found the answer to this last Mystery of the Word of Y'hova.

It turns out that the Hebrew Word הַוָּה or HaVaH contains the last three letters of the Sacred Name and its primary meaning is to Breathe (Strong's Number 1942) and the Root (1933) itself means to be or to exist. It is actually connected to the Hebrew Word for Love (to breath hard and/or desire) which root is AV and is used in the English word Love and also in my own name David which means Beloved.

When I saw this word I immediately realized that if one prefixed this word with a Yod they would have the exact Sacred Name and I realized that it would mean The Breather which is, of course, how Y'hava appears in the book of Genesis. He Spoke the Universe into existence which means that He Breathed the Universe into existence and, at the Creation of Man He breathed into Adam and he became a Living Soul. This word also would, then, embody the concept that God is Love as John tells us in his Epistles and both of these together would also carry the meaning of the self existant one or Eternal Love, if you will.

I then verified this morning that, in fact, the Hebrew Letter Yod can be used as a prefix and it is done so in cases of the Third Person Singular which, if I am not mistaken, could be translated as the personal pronoun The as I have done (and as Y'shua used the phrase The Son of Man) but if not then it would be translated as He Breathes (or He is Breath or Spirit and He is Love).

Either way you have the Unbreathed Breath, if you will, or the source of all Life and Love in the Universe. Further, when you realize that the letter B and V are often interchangable, then Y'hava is very close, phonetically and etymologically, to Abba or The Father. Thus, it is possible that Y'shua spoke His Father's name as Y'hava and the disciples thought he was saying Y'Abba or The Father and didn't realize the significance of what he was saying. In the Upper Room discourse recorded in the Gospel of John, Y'shua specifically states that he has declared the Father's Name and, in my opinion, this can only be the Sacred Name being referred to and would have been the first and last time it was spoken in public in 600 years.

Until now...

Question ID: 405426

I believe that Moses, when he returned from exile in Midian, told the elders the phrase: 'He has remembered you.' I believe the pronunciation is as follows: pakod pakadeti. Is this correct?

Secondly, does the phrase mean, He has remembered you (as a person? as a people? or both?)? I know that the word pakod translates as remember, and also means a deposit, derivative of the word, pikadon.

Dear dortmund-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. Normally, as you might imagine, a straightforward question such as yours could be answered with a simple straightforward answer. But because of the fact that the issue is a matter of biblical history and much of what has been recorded has been translated and re-translated over the years, it is difficult to say for certain the ?exact? phrase used in the context you are referring to. It is important then to note some pertinent facts related to this phrase in order to know roughly what the phrase was and what it meant. Since you are agreeable to my explanation of what is ?taught? as opposed to ?exact phrase? I will gladly explain what I know about this issue.

The phrase "pakod pakadeti" (alternatively recorded in some texts as ?"Pakod pakad'ti?, ?pakod pakad-ti? and perhaps other variations) is not JUST a phrase. In fact the significance of this predates Moses as was prophesied as a sign to be watched for. You see, long before Moses time, God had told Jacob that when the redeemer of Israel came to Egypt he would utter special words. Jacob handed this secret down to Joseph who later told his brothers. Asher handed the secret down to his daughter Serakh (Serakh bat Asher, known as ?Serah? and ?Sarah? in Biblical texts). So when Moses was instructed by God to tell the elders He has said ?I have remembered you?, Serakh was the only person alive who had heard the secret words and recognized ?the sign? as it was predicted in previous generations. When she heard the words and recognized them she told the Israelites that Moses had truly been sent by God.

The Legend of Serakh bat Asher

http://www.wlcj.org/outlook_articles/serakh_asher_seder.html

Gather the elders of Israel, and say to them, 'YHVH, the God of your fathers, appeared to me - the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He said, 'I have granted you special providence regarding what is happening to you in Egypt.

http://bible.ort.org/books/pentd2.asp?ACTION=displaypage&BOOK=2&CHAPTER=3#P19

The phrase ?pakod pakadti et?chem? then is not One remembering another in the literal sense, but is an oath indicative of the fact that one is favored above other. By saying ?remembered? the intent is to convey that one has been ?counted? or set aside for pecial purpose. In Shemot we see that the phrase was used to remember ?the people? as opposed to one person. By remembering the elders the oath refers to them and all the peoples they represent and by remembering ?the children if Israel? the oath refers to the chosen people of Israel. Logically, since the phrase is used in no other context through the scriptures, we can assume that when God said this to Moses, He too intended it to be taken that He was remembering the people, rather than Moses himself.

I hope you find that my research exceeds your expectations. If you have any questions about my research please post a clarification request prior to rating the answer. Otherwise I welcome your rating and your final comments and I look forward to working with you again in the near future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.
