Over the past few days I have been toying around with a new design idea for my blankets.
It involves putting the name of God onto the blanket (or prayer shawl... I've been thinking about those lately, too)
... in Hebrew!
My wonderful husband gave me an awesome Hebrew-Greek-English Interlinear Bible this past Christmas, and it has continued to ignite my desire to learn Hebrew and study the Bible on an even deeper level!
And the third Hebrew word of the Bible is ... you guessed it: God!
To be more specific, it is 'Elohim,' which means 'God' and 'Strong One.' Jewish tradition equates Elohim with "the Name of God as the Creator and Judge of the universe."
There are so many names for God! And each one helps teach a little bit more about who God is. That is part of why I am so fascinated by reading the names in their original languages!
What do you think would be a good word to write on a blanket?
