Abstract
Initials - Rashei Tevot, and their suffixes - Sofei Tevot, are abbreviated spelling techniques, in which a common phrase is given by combining the first or last letters of its words. Allegedly, the new word that was connected from the combination of letters has no material connection with the meaning of the phrase.
The purpose of the article is to show that several old words, new ones and even those derived from the Hebrew language, in the context of the Old Testament or the Old Testament of passages of verses from the Bible, are well explained by their origin. They receive a 'new illumination' that is interpreted by the collection of words in the verse from which they were derived . This is a kind of hidden message alongside the simplicity of understanding the verse.
