 Hebrew in Poem

A tribute to the tongue of prophets, priests, and kings

---

Aleph to Tav

אָז נִבְרָא הָעוֹלָם בְּמִלָּה

Then the world was created with a Word,

A breath of holy fire, a sound unheard

By human ear—yet in its wake,

Light broke, seas rolled, the earth awake.

Lashon Hakodesh — the sacred tongue,

In which the law at Sinai sung,

In which the psalmist wept and prayed,

In which the prophets’ warnings weighed.

Each letter, black on parchment scroll,

Holds mysteries meant to make us whole;

A vav can join the heaven and earth,

A yod can signal covenant’s birth.

Shema Yisrael — “Hear, O Israel,”

The Lord our God, the Lord is One.

This truth no earthly power can quell,

It rises with the morning sun.

In Hebrew, Yeshua means “He saves,”

A name that echoes through the graves

Of generations who longed to see

The Branch of David’s promised tree.

Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?

My God, my God, why forsake me?

The cry that shook the temple’s veil

In Hebrew’s raw, historic wail.

Tefillah — prayer that heaven bends,

Hallel — praise that never ends,

Kadosh, kadosh, kadosh — holy, holy, holy—

Sung by seraphim in courts most high,

And murmured by the meek and lowly

Beneath a wide and waiting sky.

So let the ancient language speak

To spirits humble, mild, and meek.

For in its depths, both stark and grand,

We touch the thought of God’s own hand.
