Double Yod
The double Yod means that God's Holy Spirit, His Yod or divine spark, was present in Spirit and Truth.
In Exodus 1:17 the words saved alive is from Chayah consisting of the Hebrew letters ChetYodHey[1] but we see in the text wat-tə-ḥay-ye-nā VavTavHeyYodYodNun with a Double Yod. And again in Exodus 1:20 the words Therefore dealt well are from yatab YodTetBeit[2] but in the text way-yê-ṭeḇ VavYodYodTetBeit with another Double Yod. The Double Yod means that God rewarded them by causing the royalty and the priesthood to issue from them.
The Hebrew word that is formed with only a BeitYod is said to mean "Pray" as in "excuse me"[3] and is commonly translated "Oh" as in "Oh LORD". בִּי biy [bee] perhaps from 01158 (with the sense of asking) as an entreaty often translated as "Oh" defined as "if it please, pray excuse me".

Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed[4] man of the dust[5] of the ground[6], and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life[7]; and man became a living[8] soul[9]."
The term formed[4] is not yatsar YodTzedekReish but within the text we see way·yî·ṣer VavYodYodTzedekReish. Again the YodYod express the idea that man was not merely molded physically but spiritually.
So, man was given a double gift just as we see with the rewards and blessing given the midwives of Egypt in Exodus 1. They knew what was right from within by the spirit of revelation and followed that knowing with action in the real world as doers of the word, the Logos.
This, of course, was a part of the armor of God and gave them a protection.
Faith in action is not just faith in the mind but is fulfilment of a process of spiritual salvation.
Being a doer of the word is not just a suggestion but is a requirement.
There is another word considered to be from an unused root meaning to effervesce but contains a double Yod which is yayin YodYodNun.[10] It is said to mean wine and can be a metaphor for blood, but also love. New wine is symbolic of the the truth and the Holy Spirit
In Exodus 2:14[11] Moses feared[12] os the word יָרֵא yare’ normally spelled YodReishAlef but in the text we see וַיִּירָ֤א way·yî·rā VavYodYodReishAlef translated as and feared.
The Vav can give us the word and but what does the double yod tell us?
We are led to believe that Moses feared the Pharaoh but the word Pharaoh פַּרְעֹה֙[13] refers to the "Great house of Pharoah" which included the whole the whole bureaucracy of that government and not merely one man.[14] That house did not like Moses because by blood he was not Egyptian but only by adoption.
Does Moses's fear men or does he fear of God and the loss of his own soul?
Did Moses began to know he killed because he lacked faith?
Was he becoming a tyrant and fled his situation?
When the midwife feared God we see the word midwives in Exodus 1:17 and Exodus 1:21 as ham·yal·lə·ḏōṯ הַֽמְיַלְּדֹת֙ ends in the letter Tav the letter of faith.
There are many other examples... we will look at in our studies of the Bible.
