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 is the 6th integer and had a gematria value of 6.

Christian context for Vav:
John 19:14 It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon. (Noon is the 6th hour.) “Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews.
Yeshua was crucified on the 6th day of the 6th month, Elul. (The sixth month and the last month of the Jewish yearly cycle.) 6 in Hebrew is the letter Vav (A nail).
It is said that "love" held Jesus to the cross.
- Yeshua was nailed to the cross. When the letter vav (ו) is spelled out in full as "ואו" (vav-aleph-vav), its gematria is calculated as follows: vav = 6, aleph = 1, vav = 6. Adding these values together: 6+1+6=13
- The gematria of the Hebrew word אהבה (ahavah, meaning "love") is 13, calculated as follows: Aleph = 1, Hei = 5, Bet = 2, ה Hei = 5. Adding these values: 1+5+2+5=13
- This value connects ahavah to אחד (echad). In the Hebrew prayer the Shema, it states Sh'ma Yisra'eil Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad. (Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.) The gematria of the Hebrew word "אֶחָד" (echad, meaning "one") is 13, calculated as follows: Aleph = 1, Chet = 8, Dalet) = 4. Adding these values: 1+8+4=13
- True love (ahavah-13) connects (vav-13) and reflects the oneness (echad-13) of Adonai.
