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 VavTavHeyYodYidNun 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 (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
- See also 0997 בֵּין ben, between; 0996 בֵּין bayn; 0995 בֵּין bin, To discern; 0994a בֵּי bi pray, excuse me, please, and 0994b בֵּיי bayay, to entreat; 0998 and 0999(Daniel 2:21) binah בִּינָה , an understanding;
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 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.[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
There are many other examples... we will look at in our studies of the Bible.
