RE: The ancient language of ivrit ( עברית ) - Tsade

in #hebrew7 years ago (edited)

Hebrew Words with the letter Tsade.... STRUGGLE(Verb): The act of trying to achieve the goal, but with hindrances. Hebrew: נצה .... nTsH. And it is said that the Word Israel means "One who struggled with God". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_wrestling_with_the_angel

In the Torah portion, Vayishlah,

Jacob wrestles all night with a mysterious angel representing God.Because Jacob successfully survives this encounter, his name is changed to Israel. The translation of Israel is “to struggle with God”. The Torah is saying that to struggle with God is common. Most people require inquiry and study, as adults, to come to terms with their personal encounter. We are encouraged intellectually to encounter God within ourselves after studying the word of God and wrestling our sages encountered in their journeys to God. It is possible to be good and have questions about God.
