Iodine (Hebrew)
Iodine ( יוד) is the tenth letter in the Hebrew alphabet . It has the numerical value 10.
history
The Hebrew iodine has the same historical background as the Phoenician iodine, from which the Arabic Ya and via the Greek Iota the Latin I and J developed. Note that the Semitic consonant became a vowel in Greek . In modern Iwrit , which is written without a vowel mark (full spelling, scriptura plena), the iodine serves not only as a consonant but also as a vowel indicator for the sound "i". Two consecutive iodines stand for AI or EY. The Protosinaitic and Phoenician versions of iodine abstractly represent a hand - in Hebrew jad .
The iodine is the only letter to which a Bible passage can be directly assigned. In Matthew 5:18 we read:
"For verily, I say to you: Until heaven and earth pass away, not even an iota or a line shall pass from the law, until everything is done."
The original meaning of the smallest letter is used in the NT figuratively something very little .
