what are those two letters ; and in what way are they different for the understanding the meaning from the Greek words

[Lightenup]

The two letters are 'aleph' and 'tav.' The translation of the two Hebrew letters into Greek would be 'alpha' and 'omega.'

The meaning of the letters in Hebrew have a fuller meaning than just the first and last letter of the alphabet.

From what I read, aleph means strength and tav means cross. The reason that you don't know is because you don't know Hebrew…that is my point of the thread.

Here is an example of the two Hebrew letters in the first verse of the Bible and they are left untranslated:

Fourth word down is the aleph and tav…read the letters right to left.
