peech, word, or commandment.’ The word devar is found 711 times in the Hebrew Scriptures. The devar of God is forever. The Ten Commandments are called the Ten Devarim. The fifth book of the Bible known as Deuteronomy is called Devarim in Hebrew for “These are the words Moshe spoke …” (Deuteronomy 1:1). The same devarim became flesh and tabernacled among us as Yeshua (John 1:14).

In Hebrew, each letter has a word picture based on its shape. After learning the word pictures through the book Hebrew Word Pictures by Frank T. Seekins, I replaced the ‘roman numerals’ of the 10 Commandments with the numerical word pictures. In this way, I saw the commands in a new and unique way. This is how I taught my children the 10 Commandments after teaching them the Hebrew alphabet. Remembering a concept with a letter was easier than remembering the order and phrases of the commands.
