HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE OR THINGS ELOHIM CONSIDERS HOLY, BEGIN WITH THE LETTER "Y"? (In Hebrew, the "Y" is called "Yud" or "Yod.") For instance, Yahweh, Yeshua, Yisrael (Israel), Yerushalayim (Jerusalem); two of the Patriarchs - Yitz'chak (Isaac) and Ya'akov (Jacob), and a host of other people and things.
Of course, the impression that words that begin with the the Hebrew "yud" indicate something holy, is mostly anecdotal, but DOES seem to have some foundation in truth:
The "Yud" is the tenth letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet, and has the numeric value of 10. Leviticus 27:32 says "All the tenth from the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the shepherd's crook, the tenth one will be holy to Yahweh."
It might only be interesting, but the "Yud" itself is spelled "yod-vav-dalet"; and the yod, being essentially a "dot" is one dimension, the "Vav" is a line which is two dimensions, and the "dalet" is a line and line at right angles to it, indicating not only length, but width as well.
So the Yud (or Yod) represents "full dimensionality" which is certainly appropriate for Yahweh!
(For those who don't know any Hebrew, in the meme below, the letter "yud" (or "yod") is at the right of the picture, as Hebrew is read from right to left. Below, you can see the letters Yud-Hay-Vav-Hey, the Hebrew letters that spell out the tetragrammaton of our Creator's Name as given to Moses in Exodus 3:13 -15.)
