I’ve not posted an entry for a month, but have been doing much background work. Hopefully this post and several more to follow will fit together many pieces of major importance. Shown here is the lengthy process of going through the cognate permutations of a two-letter word, with many “choice tidbits” included, and some important usages toward the end. A point I want to make is that in mankind’s walk with the LORD (יהוה), technology has progressed in many areas such that much is being revealed. Revelation will continue, without a doubt. For this reason we must remain ever so thankful to the Hebrew people who have preserved God’s Word for us, that we may now better be able to understand. In this and the next few entries my purpose is twofold, and as always with much prayer to be certain the LORD is leading the way. I will share what I have been shown through study and prayer, as well as observing events in my life, the messengers surrounding me. Consider this as a next step in our “walk” with God:
הלך p.59 walk; progress step by step toward a goal.
The goal is to draw closer to God. In these posts will be very enlightening findings and very strict warnings about their usage, straight from Scripture. I pray to the LORD (יהוה) for his timing.
In bold below, you see the cognate meanings and the cognate group numbers. We include here as well cognate permutations of דנ from the often-referred-to principle of מ reflecting נ. Hopefully sharing these all together will help firm up in your mind the connection of מ and נ.
__________________________________________________________________
- Please recognize that these “A groups” include the two-letter cognate permutation אם, Mother, (see Appendix 9 – “positioned for influence”). Also others like B48, D15, and D30 that include gutturals with ד/ט/ת and מ. I venture to say that this also includes the groups with נ replacing מ, A18, D74.

- 1 Chronicles 2:29
- 29 And the name of the wife of Abishur was Abihail, and she bore him Ahban and Molid. Read context vv.25-33; several familiar names 🤔
- In modern Hebrew no חבן, but אחבן = my brother – see Ahban’s brother is מולידwhich includes מד – see Numbers 3 and Leviticus 10. Brothers Nadab and Abihu אביהוא – in 1 Chronicles, two brothers Nadab and Abishur אבישור – and see in Leviticus 10:3 “So Aaron held his peace וידם.”See in both Abihu אביהוא and Abishur אבישור – both אב father and יו, consequences. Aaron is obliged to “hold his peace” as the death of his sons were the consequences of the father (which could be God, or Aaron’s own responsibility for not having taught sufficient restraint – see definition of אב – lovingly instill restraint Appendix 10.)
- Recall two more important Scriptural themes:
- “Am I my brother’s keeper.” Gn4:9 and God’s response in 4:10 וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מֶ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתָ קֹ֚ולדְּמֵ֣י אָחִ֔יךָ צֹעֲקִ֥ים אֵלַ֖י מִן־הָֽאֲדָמָֽה׃

⦁ Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The “sense” of slow, gradual, deliberate is seen well in the cognate permutation הלך p.59 walk; progress step by step toward a goal.
There were three blogs, 46, 47, and 48, in which we spoke about trees. We will talk about that more as we move into the next entries, that hopefully will tie many pieces together. In those entries, the words for tree “parts” are covered.
- More references for you to 🤔 – search in Scripture, Hebrew and Greek Testaments, for the occurrences of two words in the same verse, water + blood.
More to come soon, LORD willing.
