What is the Original Hebrew Meaning of שֵׁם Shem?
שֵׁם Shem is the 2-letter Hebrew Noun translated into English as Name; the identifier of a person, place or thing.
Its original Hebrew Letters illustrate the meaning of שֵׁם Shem:
שֵׁ Shin was originally the Picture of 2 Teeth, representing to be Sharp, Press, Crush, Eat, Devour, Consume like Fire, Destroy, or Remove… (The Hebrew word שֵׁן Shen means Tooth.)
ם מ Mem was the Picture of מַיִם Mayim; Waters, representing Liquid, Blood, Massive, Chaos, Raging, Mighty, Living Water; Torah, Messiah…
Shin; Teeth, Destroys Mem; Water, Chaos?
The Ancient Hebrew makes no distinction between a Name and its Meaning. It is lost in translation, unless it is described. Like the Meaning of Jacob’s שֵׁם Shem; Name when it was changed to Israel:
“Your Name (שֵׁם Shem) will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have Struggled with God and with men, and you have Prevailed.” Genesis 32:28.
When Moses asked for the שֵׁם Shem; Name of the God of the Children of Israel, the God of their fathers… His answer was הָיָה Hayah אֲשֶׁר Asher הָיָה Hayah; I Am Who I Am:
…Thus you will say to the Children of Israel: ‘I AM (הָיָה Hayah) has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:14
The 1st person Name, שֵׁם Shem, of mankind’s Spiritual Creator translates into English as, I Am, or I Exist, inferring Past, Present and Future.
The original Hebrew Word Picture of הָיָה Hayah is Behold – ; the Hand, Work – ; Behold:
“Say to the Israelites, ‘יְהוָֹה *YHVH – to Exist (הָיָה Hayah), the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is My Name (שֵׁם Shem) Forever, and this is My Memorial generation to generation,” Exodus 3:15.
The 3rd person Name, יְהוָֹה *YHVH, translates He Was, He Is, He Shall Be, or He Exists, in the Past, Present and Future.
The original Hebrew Word Picture includes the Infixed letter Vav, pronounced W, U, O. It is the picture of a Tent Peg, or Nail, used to Attach, Secure, Establish, or Connect, like our English word And.
The four letter Name of יְהוָֹה *YHVH is a word Picture of יְ Yod, the Hand – ה Hey, Behold – וָֹ Vav, the Nail – ה Hey, Behold.
