Aleph Tav (Beginning & The End) Hat Embroidered

Alph Tav (Beginning & The End) in Paleo Hebrew embroidered on hat, pairs well with any of our tees and hoodies!

Although this is probably one of the simplest designs we carry, this is one of the DEEPEST (in our opinion).
The Aleph-Tav have multiple layers of meanings, as the Hebrew language is very complex in many ways but we will try lay it out simply for the purpose of aiding in conversations that might come your way while wearing this.

Aleph
means Ox Head
Strength, Power, Leader, Source

Tav
means Two Crossed Sticks
Mark, Sign, Signature, Cross, Signal, Monument

Together they are seen as noun and prepositions, they have been seen in both the Old and the New Testament over 10,000 times, yet most all of the occurrences have been untranslatable in English!

This is best explained by one of our personal favorite teachers of the Hebrew language (Jeff Benner) - his books have changed our understanding of the scriptures and is the reason we have gone on a 6 year rabbit trail on the Hebrew language, and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! We want to give credit where credit is due, to read the full article go to:

“Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, ‘I am a warrior.’ (Joel 3:10 in Christian Bibles)

The word ‘plowshares,’ in the passage above, is the Hebrew noun את (et), which appears in the Hebrew bible five times. A plowshare is the metal point of the plow which digs into the soil creating a furrow for planting seeds. When we examine the original pictographic script used in ancient times to write Hebrew, we can see a clear connection between the letters of this word and its meaning. The modern Hebrew form of the letter aleph is א, but is an evolved form of the original pictograph, a picture of an ox head. The ancient pictographic form of the letter ת is, a picture of two crossed sticks which are used as a marker. When these two pictographs are combined, we have the meaning ‘an ox toward the mark.’ Fields were plowed with a plow pulled behind an ox (or pair of oxen). In order to keep the furrows straight the driver of the ox would aim toward a mark, such as a tree or rock outcropping in the far distance. As we can see, this meaning of driving the ox toward a mark, can be seen in the letters of the Hebrew word את (et).” End quote.
