The letter Aleph in ancient Hebrew represented an ox, or more specifically an ox head, the ox, meaning strong, powerful, leader.[1] The Hebrew word Eleph 0504 is very closely related. English equivalent is A.
The Letter Beth in ancient Hebrew represented a house, or tent.[2] The Hebrew word Bayith 01004 is very closely related.
Combined together Aleph and Beth 'AB' means "Strong one of the house" or "the strength of the house."[3] Jesus called His Father, Abba.
