שָׁלוֹם | Lechem

Word of the Week

Word: Lechem

Hebrew: שָׁלוֹם (lechem)

Definition: The word we will explore today is the word לֶחֶם Lechem, the word for BREAD. This is part of the word for Bethlehem, remember? ל = Lamed symbolizes a staff, direction, teach, guide. ח = Chet symbolizes a fence, boundary, inner chamber. ם = Final Mem symbolizes water, or water of the Word. This word is pointing us thusly. We are being directed into the fence and protected by the Word of G-d. This gives us life… bread sustains us. Who is Yeshua again? Oh yes, He is the BREAD OF LIFE. Let’s go deeper. ל = Lamed carries the number 30, ח = Chet, 8, and the ם = Mem, 40. This equals 78. Ready? 7 + 8 = 15. 1 + 5 = 6, which is the number of man. So our Lord gives life to His created beings, us!
