| Ancient Name: | Hhet ,chet |
| Pictograph: | Wall |
| Meanings: | Outside, Divide Half |
| Sound: | Ch hard H like Bach |
 | The word חֵטְא chêṭᵉʼ, khate; from H2398 means sin Sinner (חטא hhata, Strong's #2400): When one shoots at a target and misses it, we would say that he "missed the mark," God provides man with the target, his teachings, and when man does not hit that target he "misses the mark." The word hhata, the noun form of the verb, means a "sinner," or "one who misses the mark." |
Chet also derives from the word chayitz חיץ, meaning "fence, partition"and Steinberg writes that in Arabic and Syrian heth is the cognate of chayitz. This word derives from chutz חוץ - outside.
How eternally thankful I am that our Father provided a Savior, who would make up the difference for our short-comings, who would give his life as a ransom, who would redeem and atone and make it possible to be AT-ONE again with Father and allow us to come back inside the fence, into the Temple, and into the Holy of Holies to dwell with him again!
A favorite hymn, "Hie to Kolob" asks if we could see the grand beginning,
Where space did not extend?
Or view the last creation,
Where Gods and matter end?
Methinks the Spirit whispers,
"No man has found 'pure space,'
Nor seen the outside curtains,
Where nothing has a place."
The Tabernacle was surrounded by a fence. In scriptural thought anything outside the fenced off sacred space was Far East of Eden. A spiritual Outer Darkness.
However, through repentance from our sin חֵטְא chêṭ, we could turn around shuv and stay inside the Fence and not be cut off from his presence.
As we use the atonement in our lives to make us clean and pure and become more holy, as God is, we are able to walk back through the veil curtain into his presence symbolized by entering the Holy of Holies.
The outside curtain or even inside curtain, reminds me of chet. In fact the curtain wall or veil that separated the Holy of Holies from the Holy Place was called the פָּרֹ֫כֶת Parochet. I just wish the hard "Ch" sound was from Chet rather than kaph. Yet, I have also found that similar sounding consonants can be exchanged and carry the symbolism.
The rending and or tearing of the veil is extremely important imagery.
The rending and or tearing of the veil is extremely important imagery.
God Himself thought so much of the importance of the type, as shown by the tearing of the veil:
Matt 27:50-51 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,
If we don't understand the meaning in Scripture of the holy of holies and the veil we miss out on extremely significant information concerning exactly what Christ's death meant to sinful mankind.
The Temple Court - The word "court" is translated from the Hebrew word chatser חָצֵר. Chatser means "court; enclosure."
The courtyard is separate from the rest of the community and the outer open country. It can also represent a time and place for spiritually consecrating ourselves to God. Via the courtyard God is drawing a line in the earth, so to speak. On the outside of the courtyard are worldly things common to mortal man. On the inside of the courtyard are things that are of God.
We also find a root חצה - meaning "to divide". A fence (chayitz) divides (chotze) and leaves something outside (chutz). From the root חצה, we get such words as chetzi חצי - half
and chatzot חצות - midnight (the time the bridegroom cometh and divides the wise form the foolish leaving them outside of the wedding feast).
From the related root חצץ - also "to divide, to make a partition" comes the word mechitza מחיצה - partition.
and chatzot חצות - midnight (the time the bridegroom cometh and divides the wise form the foolish leaving them outside of the wedding feast).

In the Jewish Temple and Tabernacle the Holy of Holies was divided and portioned/fenced off from the Holy Place.
It was the Most Holy and could only be entered by the High Priest on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
Chet is the number eight. Eight 8 represents 1 beyond seven …infinity (full cycle). 8 infinity on it's side Related to circumcision (Brit or covenant) (8th day)…eternal connection (covenant) between God and the Jewish people. (Beyond regular relationship) God reaffirmed his covenant to Abraham 8 times
The 8th day is resurrection day. We see rebirth once again as we go through the veil into the Holy of Holies, the throne of heaven and the promised land. Joseph Smith said the throne of heaven was in the court of the most high God.

The dawning wedding day heralds the happiest and holiest day of one's life. This day is considered a personal Yom Kippur for the חָתָן chatan (Hebrew for groom/bridegroom) (see further meaning below end notes) and kallah (bride), for on this day all their past mistakes are forgiven as they merge into a new, complete soul.
As on Yom Kippur, both the חָתָן chatan and kallah fast (in this case, from dawn until after the completion of the marriage ceremony). And at the ceremony, the chatan wears a kittel, the traditional white robe worn on Yom Kippur. (see notes below)
chiton (Greek: χιτών, khitōn) is a form of tunic that fastens at the shoulder, worn by men and women of Ancient Greece and Rome.[1] There are two forms of chiton, the Doric chiton and the later Ionic chiton
The marriage ceremony is conducted under a marriage canopy, known in Hebrew as a חוּפָּה chuppah (literally, “covering”). It consists of a square cloth, usually made of silk or velvet, supported by four staves, and ordinarily held by four men.
The חוּפָּה chuppah is mentioned in the Bible in association with marriage: “As a bridegroom goes forth from his חוּפָּה huppah.” Psalm 19:5
The חוּפָּה chuppah symbolizes the new home to which the bridegroom will take his bride. The bride and groom, together under a חוּפָּה chuppah, appear before their invited guests who have come to witness the bonding together as man and wife. It is a prelude to intimacy, and thus a significant element in nissuin (marriage). (my Jewishlearning.com/By Dr. Michael Kaufman)
The cloth חוּפָּה chuppah was originally draped around the bride and groom but was later spread out over their heads. In some places, a tallit [prayer shawl] was draped over the couple or held above them. The single cloth under which the couple are joined thus symbolizes both the new household they are forming and represents the public recognition of their new status as man and wife.
Chuppah symbolizes the groom's home, and now the brides home or tent. It may have been an addition built on to the groom's father's home. In fact tent "Walls" (Chet meaning) would have been added on to the Father's tent to make room for his expanding family. (See letter Bet)

More specifically, the chuppah symbolizes the bridal chamber, where the marital act was consummated in ancient times.

What sort of cloth should be used for a chuppah? Historically, the chuppah was a desirable object of art, which everyone sought to decorate—after all, it also symbolized the covenantal marriage of God and His people. The medieval community often used a parochet (an Ark Covering), although later it was felt to be inappropriate to apply an object of sanctity to the bridal chamber.
The Ark Covering implies marital symbolism. The כְּרוּבימ cheribum over the ark have definite reference to a male and female in a bond of unity. Midrash reads that the cherubim’s faces were turned toward each other when Israel was devoted to the Lord and further noted the cherubim "even clasped one another like a loving couple. During the festivals of the pilgrimage the priests used to raise the curtain from the Holy of Holies to show the pilgrims how much their God loved them as they could see in the embrace of the two Cherubim." (Jewish Encylopedia)
Thus, The Holy of Holies can be seen as a place and symbol of nuptial relationship between God and Israel.
The Ark of the covenant was covered by the mercy seat.
A Hebrew word for mercy is רָחַם râcham; to love, especially to have compassion (on, upon), love, (find, have, obtain, shew) mercy(-iful, on, upon). (H7355) I find it beautiful that the word for womb is רַחַם racham; compassion; by extension, the womb (as cherishing the fetus); by implication, a maiden:—bowels, compassion, damsel, tender love, (great, tender) mercy, pity, womb.(H7356)
The ancient word picture shows the person (resh head) in the inner chamber (chet) of water (mem).
The story of Rachel fits well here. First, her name רָחֵל Râchêl, contains the letter chet, as described a symbol of the womb. "But Rachel was barren." (Gen 29:31)
She said, "Give me children, or else I die." Eventually she was blessed with Joseph and then does die in giving birth to Benjamin. The womb of deliverance was the cause her death. Hers was a womb of mercy. It was even the menstral blood symbolism that kept her father, Laban, from finding his idols. Later, in the New Testament, Matthew quotes Jeremiah in the telling of Rachel weeping again for the children, those slain by Herod in Bethlehem, before the birth of the Savior. (Jer 31:15, Matt 2:18)
The word רָחַם râcham immediately follows the word Rachel in aleph-bet order in the Strongs Concordance. The word for mercy and compassion and love and also for womb.

In the Holy of Holies is the mercy seat or throne of God abides, where the Father and Jesus are one.
And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward. 2 Chronicles 10-13
This same verb דָּבַק dabaq is used in Deut 30:19-20 and talks about how we should ceave unto him for our Life.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them

Rebecca Stay beautifully taught that "We are welded to our God. In making and cutting a covenant with him, we have a marriage relationship with him. He is the Bridegroom. We are the bride. We should "devqut" Cleave unto Him. We are sealed to Him."
|
It is so interesting to note that it was understood in ancient times that these two cherubim in the Temple of Solomon represent male and female angelic beings, welded or sealed together, facing at the same time each other and God.
The faithful have full and complete access to God, without the need of an earthly mortal priest to represent them.
Chet is the letter of life. Life is חַי Chai. Plural Chaim. Feminine is חייות Chaiot.
Eve is the mother of All Living. Eve is חוה Havah. Her name begins with Chet has the Nail (Vav) and the sacred feminine ending Hey. Life is חי (Chai).
Adam and Eve were sealed in the Garden of Eden, yet still in God's presence. In the Holy of Holies.
The rabbis note, “Whoever has no wife exists without goodness, without a helpmate, without joy, without blessing, without atonement . . . without well-being, without a full life; . . . indeed, such a one reduces the representation of the divine image [on earth].”
cited in Nahum Sarna, The JPS Torah Commentary: Genesis, p. 21.
As Rebecca Stay taught me, "What is this saying about the divine? It is a married couple!"
William Clayton said that he learned from Joseph Smith that "the doctrine of ...celestial marriage is the most holy and important doctrine ever revealed to man on the earth, and that without obedience to that principle no man can ever attain to the fulness of exaltation in celestial glory."
The ancient symbol for chet also resembles a ladder, even a 3 rung ladder. It could then represent, the three degrees of glory
the temple pattern which divides the temple into three holy sections.
Again from The Gospel of Phillip:
69: 14–27
There were three buildings specifically for sacrifice in Jerusalem. The one facing the west was called “The Holy”. Another, facing south, was called “The Holy of the Holy”. The third, facing east, was called “The Holy of the Holies”, the place where only the high priest enters. Baptism is “the Holy” building. Redemption is the “Holy of the Holy”. “The Holy of the Holies” is the bridal chamber. Baptism includes the resurrection and the redemption; the redemption (takes place) in the bridal chamber.
70: 5–22
The powers do not see those who are clothed in the perfect light, and consequently are not able to detain them. One will clothe himself in this light sacramentally in the union. If the woman had not separated from the man, she should not die with the man. His separation became the beginning of death. Because of this, Christ came to repair the separation, which was from the beginning, and again unite the two, and to give life to those who died as a result of the separation, and unite them. But the woman is united to her husband in the bridal chamber. Indeed, those who have united in the bridal chamber will no longer be separated. Thus Eve separated from Adam because it was not in the bridal chamber that she united with him.
.
85: 32 – 86: 18 (conclusion of the Gospel of Philip)
Every one who will enter the bridal chamber will kindle the light, for [...] just as in the marriages which are [...] happen at night. That fire [...] only at night, and is put out. But the mysteries of that marriage are perfected rather in the day and the light. Neither that day nor its light ever sets. If anyone becomes a son of the bridal chamber, he will receive the light. If anyone does not receive it while he is here, he will not be able to receive it in the other place. He who will receive that light will not be seen, nor can he be detained. And none shall be able to torment a person like this, even while he dwells in the world. And again when he leaves the world, he has already received the truth in the images. The world has become the Aeon (eternal realm), for the Aeon is fullness for him. This is the way it is: it is revealed to him alone, not hidden in the darkness and the night, but hidden in a perfect day and a holy light.
Perhaps the ancient pictograph of a wall, is a picture of a tent wall which divides the middle of the tent into the male and female sections. (see letter bet)
John Welch explained: "The Holy of Holies can be seen as (a place of unity) representing Day One of the Creation inasmuch as all things emanate from its primordial state, in which things were undifferentiated and the opposites that characterize this world had not been separated.
All that happened in the Holy of Holies derived its truth, power, and goodness from the One, so that all might once again become one with God and with each other. "
All that happened in the Holy of Holies derived its truth, power, and goodness from the One, so that all might once again become one with God and with each other. "
In the apocryphal Gospel of Philip, it was believed that the most sacred part of the temple or Holy of Holies was the bridal chamber. Here a woman is united to her husband and will no longer be separated. If a person does not receive these blessings in this world, he asserted, they cannot be received elsewhere.
(The Gospel of Philip is one of the Gnostic Gospels, a text of New Testament apocrypha, dated to around the 3rd century but lost in modern times until an Egyptian man rediscovered it by accident, buried in a cave near Nag Hammadi, in 1945.-Wikipedia)
“Can we not be saved
without going through with all those ordinances, etc.?”“I would answer, No, not the fullness of salvation.
Jesus said, “There are many mansions in my Father’s house,
and I will go and prepare a place for you.”House here named should have been translated kingdom;
and any person who is exalted to the highest mansion
has to abide a celestial law, and the whole law too.”

cheder: a chamber, room
Original Word: חֶ֫דֶר
Transliteration: cheder
Definition: chamber, inner, bedchamber, bedroom, innermost parts, south, within
Blue letter Bible defines Cheder as the inner apartment of a tent or house. A similar word Chadar means to enter privy chambers. To enclose as a room. In Arabic it is a curtain or to be hid behind a curtain. Remember from the Hey, which I believe is like the "pierced veil. The veil is pierced and what is hidden behind the curtain. The inner room of the tent. The Holy of Holies. חדרת means revelation or vision. (Old Assyrian: https://www.academia.edu/22850978/GLOSSARY_OF_OLD_SYRIAN_GlOS_Preprint_7_ʔ_-_x_ḫ_._Updated_March_2016)
In Revelation chapter 11 verse 19 John sees in vision the ark of his testament in the temple.
The ark was the throne room, the chamber in the holy of holies. The chamber room part of the tent where only the wife could dwell.
The next chapter describers a woman clothed with the sun and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
The woman must go into the wilderness for a season, but in the end in chapter 19 the marriage supper of the Lamb is made ready. The bride is arrayed in fine linen, clean and white. Chapter 21 verse says, "I will whew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." The Bride is the Church, the bride is Zion. The bride is each of us with pure hearts, clean hands made ready to dwell forever with the Bridegroom At-One in perfect love.
I Become the Bride of Christ in The Temple!
Another "chet" word is חֵיק (H2436) which means Bosom, and within. It is a symbol of the Breast with arms embracing. Embrace is חָבַק(H2263). Ezkekiel 43:13 even associates the bottom of the Altar as measuring the bosom.
There is a second word also with a similar meaning:
חֵצֶן chêtsen, khay'-tsen; from an unused root meaning to hold firmly; the bosom (as comprised between the arms):—bosom.(H2683)
Anuket was an Egyptian goddess linked to the yearly inundation of the Nile. Her name Anuket or sometimes Anket means "to embrace" or possibly "to surround" with reference to the embracing and nourishing of the fields of the Nile.
Another word to show the imagery is
חָבַב châbab; properly, to hide (as in the bosom), i.e. to cherish (with affection):—love.
The Lord wishes for us to have a desire of a loving, covenant חסד chesed relationship with him. The word חָפֵץ châphêts, means pleased with:—delight in, desire, favour, please, have pleasure, whosoever would, willing, wish.
The word חֹק chôq is a law, ordinance, bounds, commandment. I think the law the
Lord has given for chastity as bounds that he has set, applies here.

Within the chamber -The Holy Place - Man and Woman are sealed and Eternal Lives are pronounced.
יָחַד yâchad, yaw-khad'; is to be (or become) one:—join, unite together.
יָחַד yâchad, yaw-khad'; is to be (or become) one:—join, unite together.
The word חָתַם châtham; is a primitive root and means to close up; especially to seal:—make an end, mark, seal (up). (Strongs H2856). It means to fasten up by sealing.
Margaret Barker says that the Ark (kapporet) the place of atonement is the same symbol as the throne. The Holy of Holies represents the Heavens (Celestial). (The Holy place the Earth -garden place). The Compass was thought to be the instrument which measured the heavens. The square measured the earth.
This shows that the Holy of Holies represented Heaven, or the celestial sphere. This is the only kingdom where we are sealed to live together as husband and wife, eternally.
I believe Chet is the letter of Life created through the sealing of Man and Wife, in the Holy Chamber. The sealing ordinance which binds families together forever, allowing husband and wife to “pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fullness and a continuation of their seed forever and ever” (D&C 132:19). The Holy of Holies was a sacred place uniting time and eternity.

The marriage canopy has been set up, we need to dress in our wedding garments to prepare for the marriage. Our Bridegroom cometh: "For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called" (Isaiah 54:5).
Our Savior, Jesus Christ is the Bridegroom.
D&C 101:23-36
23 And prepare for the revelation which is to come, when the veil of the covering of my temple, in my tabernacle, which hideth the earth, shall be taken off, and all flesh shall see me together.
23 And prepare for the revelation which is to come, when the veil of the covering of my temple, in my tabernacle, which hideth the earth, shall be taken off, and all flesh shall see me together.
the earth is covered by a veil that will be lifted at the Lord’s coming, which will allow all flesh to see the Lord together. We also learn that the Lord considers the earth which is covered by this veil as his temple.
The Prophet Joseph Smith was very descriptive of the day when the Lord comes and the veil is lifted,
When I contemplate the rapidity with which the great and glorious day of the coming of the Son of Man advances, when He shall come to receive His Saints unto Himself, where they shall dwell in His presence, and be crowned with glory and immortality: when I consider that soon the heavens are to be shaken, and the earth tremble and reel to and fro; and that the heavens are to be unfolded as a scroll when it is rolled up; and that every mountain and island are to flee away, I cry out in my heart, What manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness! (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.29)
The Prophet Joseph Smith was very descriptive of the day when the Lord comes and the veil is lifted,
When I contemplate the rapidity with which the great and glorious day of the coming of the Son of Man advances, when He shall come to receive His Saints unto Himself, where they shall dwell in His presence, and be crowned with glory and immortality: when I consider that soon the heavens are to be shaken, and the earth tremble and reel to and fro; and that the heavens are to be unfolded as a scroll when it is rolled up; and that every mountain and island are to flee away, I cry out in my heart, What manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness! (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.29)
Men are that they might of Joy. A Jewish wedding is called
"שִׂמְחָה simchah which means joy.
Our purpose on earth and most symbolically in the temple is to to return to our Heavenly Parents. It is an ascent to heaven a literal journey to the throne of God, the Heavenly Holy of Holies. It is a journey of progression as we become like God (Theosis) through the ordinances and covenants made therein.
We will become Kings and Queens and inherit a throne and kingdom as God has. We are bestowed the Godly power to create eternal life/lives. In the Holy of Holies we are bound to them and to our spouse and family in a covenant of loving kindness. All made possible by the atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Chet is a heavenly birth in the Holy of Holies.

further notes:
" Life" חיה
The verb חיה (haya) means to live or have life, or to give or restore life; quickening or revive, nourish or refresh. This very important root-verb obviously occurs all over the Bible. Its derivations are:
The adjective חי (hay), meaning living (Genesis 25:6, Joshua 3:10), lively (2 Samuel 23:20) and reviving (Genesis 18:10, 2 Kings 4:16).
The adjective חי (hay), meaning living (Genesis 25:6, Joshua 3:10), lively (2 Samuel 23:20) and reviving (Genesis 18:10, 2 Kings 4:16).
- The identical masculine noun חי (hay), meaning kinsfolk. This word occurs only once, in 1 Samuel 18:18.
- The feminine noun חיה (hayya) meaning living thing. It may denote a living, active animal (Genesis 8:17), an angelic animal-like creature (Ezekiel 1:5), or it may denote life in general (Psalm 143:3), and even appetite in an active sense (Job 38:39) or revival or renewal (Isaiah 57:10).
- The identical feminine noun חיה (hayya), meaning community. This word occurs once or twice in the Bible (2 Samuel 23:13 = 1 Chronicles 11:15, and perhaps Psalm 68:10). Note that in Hebrew reality, a community was the same kind of thing as one living creature.
- The adjective חיה (hayeh), meaning lively or having the vigor of life. This word occurs only once, in Exodus 1:19.
- The masculine plural noun חיים (hayyim), meaning life, or rather 'living[s]'. Why this word comes in a plural form is open for debate [NOT TO LDS] but it might be to indicate that to the Hebrews, 'life' was not some abstract concept but rather the effect of a whole array of goings on; the common term 'living water' for running water uses this word (Genesis 26:19).
חָתָן chatan(H2860) Bridegroom is also the same word for a circumcised male child, who is called by his mother חתנ דמימ "Bridegroom of Blood"
especially in the thought of religious espousal
interesting that a tallit katan - is the small undergarment worn by devout jews different
beginning letter, somewhat like Bride and Sabbath

study another idea about chet:
Hhaith חַיָּט is the term for the profession of a tailor; and hiyeth is the action of sewing. Both word imply the making of a garment. In the spiritual sense a robe is the symbol of the physical body. The soul has taken on a physical body like man dresses himself with a garment.
the kittel - In Jewish tradition, the dead are wrapped in a white shroud before burial, and when worn on the High Holy Days, the kittel represents the idea that we are being judged before God and are not sure whether we will live or die. Similarly, the kittel must be white to remind the groom on his wedding day of the day of his death, so that he won't be too prideful and will remember the constant need to repent. The white of the kittel is also meant to parallel the white dress of the bride and symbolize absolute purity. Dressed in white, on all these occasions we are like the angels, says Sperber, and just as angels have no sins, we beg to be forgiven for all of ours, in keeping the biblical verse "our sins shall be made as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18). The groom under the huppa is also compared to the high priest, who on Yom Kippur wore not his elaborate gold robe but a simple white one upon entering the Holy of Holies to atone for all the sins of Israel. So too, under the huppa, before the bride and groom begin their new life together, they wear white to banish all their sins and start fresh together.
other words:
חָסָה châçâh, khaw-saw'; a primitive root; (compare H982) to flee for protection; figuratively, to confide in:—have hope, make refuge, (put) trust.
putting our trust in God- also can mean a place of refuge. I can think of no better place of refuge then the Celestial Room of the Temple. The Temple in general but entering the Holy of holies (Celestial Room) is a place to sit and take refuge from all the storms of life.

חזן Seer perceive with eyes the Akkadian/Assyrian used the ears

this makes it confusing - ears rather than eyes
H3169 In BDB says the meaning if dubious
I believe the idea "the eye was or became narrow" means to "watch carefully"
There is also, what I believe to be an idea of Perceiving by experience see above
(perceive with eyes)
Hashuru H Z R is an apple tree, apple plant it refers to the blossom of the apple tree and also the fig, pomegranate and vine. One text reads "to my spouse I cleave as an apple to the bough"
in the BDB it explains haziyr to be a name of a priest of the 17th course during David's time and also one who was 'sealed" in Nehmiah
The name probably means not so much "swine with narrow eyes" as it is given in BDB, but more likely "Watch Carefully" which makes much more sense for a Priest in my opinion The "sealed" and the "apple cleaving to the bough" would work as well.
I think it could tie into EVE the next word hayzal is foliage of the pomegranate tree and other( apple/fig) in AkkadianAassyrian an R and an L are very interchangeable
and then HZZ is hearing with ear, understanding, gave understanding, wise understanding, intelligent, learned, knowledgable and wisdom
All of this really speaks of Eve (HAVA) and the Tree of Knowledge, and gaining wisdom, understanding of what she must do to be the mother of Life.
