Vav - 6

 

Vav is designed like a hook or nail. It connects. It is a chute which connects the higher level to the lower level.   It has the word meaning "and."

Vav in front of a word it transforms past into future and future into past. By merely attaching the vav, the past is transformed into the future. In reverse, consider the word yehi, which means “it shall be,” as in “Yehi ohr—[And G‑d said,] “Let there be light.” Place a vav in front—vayehi—and the meaning becomes, “There was light,” in the past tense.

Vav has integer and gematria value of 6.

3. Vision of the Plain: Ezekiel sees a plain.
4. Visions of Jerusalem: Ezekiel sees the abominations in the Temple, the inhabitants of the city slain, the city destroyed by fire, and the departure of God's glory.
5. Vision of Dry Bones: Ezekiel sees the dead of the house of Israel rise again.
6. Vision of the New Temple: Ezekiel sees the New Temple and associated scenes.
