The Hebrew word for ‘teach’ is yarah and means ‘to throw or shoot like with an arrow.’ There are two ideas surrounding this word. The first is that ‘sin’ is falling short as compared to shooting an arrow, or ‘missing the mark.’

Proverbs 12:19 – Truthful Words
Truth in Hebrew is emet and means ‘firmness,’ ‘faithfulness,’ and ‘truth.’ This word is interesting as it is comprised of the first letter of the Hebrew alef-bet, the last letter, and the middle letter. The alef and tav or את are the ‘sign of Yeshua,’ as they are the first and the last letters as he referenced in Revelation 22:13. The mem or מ is the middle letter of the alef-bet. This suggests that everything from beginning, middle, to end of the Hebrew Scriptures is Truth. This is exactly what Yeshua said, “Your Word is truth” (John 17:17).
Exodus 14:13 – Take a Stand
The Hebrew word את, the alef and the tav, the sign of Yeshua, comes before the word for ‘salvation’ or yeshuah. Of course, yeshuah is the name of the Messiah of Isra’el.
Romans 12:2 – Be Transformed and Renewed
‘And the way’ is et derech and includes the את that is the sign of Yeshua. The ‘way’ we are to ‘think’ is like Yeshua just as is written in 1 Corinthians 2:16. We are to have the ‘mind’ of Messiah using his wisdom, insight, and knowledge.
