Any Hebrew experts on here?

[Minrelica]

I found this today in a soccer field.

From the online Hebrew alphabet I can tell that it reads:

Shin
Khaf
Yod

Is that right?

If so, could you please explain the meaning and also the meaning of the images..

Thank you in advance! - WIT

It translates to: "If this is ever lost and found, the finder will endure 10 years of bad luck".

Just kidding. I have no idea, but, it's a cool find

I think it's Shin, Dalet, Yod, forming the word Shaddai. One of the Judaic names of God


But I could be wrong

My girl says the post above is correct.....i trust her.

WIT,
I'm not an expert but I have taken biblical Hebrew and I confirm that the Hebrew letters 'Shin', 'Dalet', 'Yod' spell one of the names of God, Shadday (in biblical Hebrew, nouns and verbs are made from three letters, sometimes with prefixes and suffixes but lack the vowels; vowels were only added in long after the Bible was completed). For those interested, most of God's names in the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible refer to God's actions in a certain context. Shadday is almost always used in connection with fertility, often when a woman was infertile and God made the impossible, possible. Genesis 17:1 and the story of Abraham and Sarah is one such example of the use of this name of God (since Sarah was infertile but became pregnant in old age). Most translators traditionally translated Shadday as 'Almighty' or even 'God of the Mountains' but one of my seminary professors did quite a bit of research on this name and believes it means, 'Big-Breasted One' which fits the context of its use throughout the Scriptures in conjunction with fertility. For those who may have heard Amy Grant's old contemporary Christian song, "El Shaddai," I doubt she had that in mind when she wrote and sang her song!!! Anyway, probably more information than you needed to know but I am guessing the jewelry was lost by a Jewish person who recognized God's ability to do the 'impossible' in life.
Hope this helps.
Peace,

WIT,
One more observation: the grain heads, tree and grapes all indicate things that grow...probably indicating God's provision in the person's life.
Now...that's all I have to say about that.

According to Exodus 6:2, 3, Shaddai is the name by which God was known to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Then this God must have been a Goddess at one stage if he had breasts Dan Brown would love this interpretation.
Google Hebrew to English translator defines 'Shaddai':

1. 'Diabolic' as an adjective
2. 'God' as a noun

So my guess is that 'Shad' or 'Shed' was some deity in one of the early 'Pagan' Middle Eastern cultures that was later borrowed by Hebrews. It's likely meant something in the original language but its exact meaning was lost. Quick research showed that 'iod' at the end of Hebrew address means 'my' like 'Adon' is translated as 'Lord' while 'Adonai' is 'My Lord'. So the formulae is 'My Something' where 'Something' is of much earlier culture word which is not Hebrew. That's why they will give you 100+ possible interpretations of this word. If they knew for sure, one translation will be enough.

The name Shaddai (Almighty), one of God's names, is comprised of the three letters: Shin, Dalet, Yod, which are an abbreviation of the statement “Shomer Daltot Yisrael” (The Guardian of the doors of Israel). This object is placed at the sides doorways, especially the front door.

That's one of the 100+ interpretations. Might be it or might be not. Nobody knows for sure, not even those Kabbalistic people.

HA! I thought this might be true but I found another silver ring this morning so now I know you're kidding.

Thanks Turtleman!

Actually, Thanks everyone!

To all,

Then this God must have been a Goddess at one stage if he had breasts Dan Brown would love this interpretation.

Actually, no, the writers of the biblical books used anthropomorphic (i.e. human realities and ways) language to communicate what God was like. A finite mind like the human mind can only begin to comprehend a portion of who and what an infinite God is like. So God had the writers use anthropomorphic language to help us understand a bit more of who God is in language we can comprehend. Since God is spirit, God is genderless. I do not affirm that Dan Brown's interpretation and fascination with feminism associated with God is biblical.
Anyway, WIT, nice find.

I was going to be witty and reply that I'm pretty good with Hebrew Nationals but I see we've had some pretty good analysis so I won't. Nice find, though!
