=== [[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<Ref name="saved">{{02421}}</Ref> but we see in the text wat-tə-ḥay-ye-nā VavTavHeyYodYidNun with a [[Double Yod]].  And again in  [[Exodus 1]]:20 the words ''Therefore dealt well'' are from yatab YodTetBeit<Ref name="well">{{03190}}</Ref> 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"<Ref name="biy">{{0994}}</Ref> and is commonly translated "Oh" as in "Oh LORD". בִּי‎ biy [bee] perhaps from [[01158]] (sense of asking); part. of entreaty; [BDB-106b] [{See TWOT on 238 @@ "238a" }] 
AV-oh 7, Oh 4, alas 1; 12 
: 1) if it please, pray excuse me, excuse me please 
:: 1a) used to introduce an entreaty or request

[[Genesis 2]]:7 "And the LORD God formed<Ref name="formed">See [[Double Yod]]<Br>{{03335}}</Ref> man of the dust<Ref name="dust">{{06083}}</Ref> of the ground<Ref name="ground">{{0127}}</Ref>, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life<Ref>[[Job 27]]:3  All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;
: Job 33:4  The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
: [[John 20]]:21  Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you.22  And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the [[Holy Ghost]]:</Ref>; and man became a living<Ref name="living">{{02416}}</Ref> soul<Ref name="soul">{{05315}}</Ref>."

The term ''formed''<Ref name="formed">See [[Double Yod]]<Br>{{03335}}</Ref> 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 [[salvation]]. 

Being a [[doer]] of the word is not just a suggestion.

There is another word considered to be from an unused root meaning to ''effervesce'' but contains a [[double Yod]] which is ''yayin'' YodYodNun.<Ref name="wine">{{03196}}</Ref> 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


''There are many other examples...'' we will look at in our studies of the [[Bible]].
