The letter Samekh is the 15th letter of the Aleph-Bet, having the numeric value of 60. The pictograph for Samekh looks something like a shield, whereas the classical Hebrew script (Ketav Ashurit) is constructed of a circular shape with a squared left corner: |
|
The LORD upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. | |||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. | |||||||||||||||||
In light of the all-encompassing presence of God in the world (as represented by the letter Samekh), our primary response should be one of reverent awe and obedience. | |||||||||||||||||
