ה Hey - 'Behold'
The fifth letter of the Hebrew AlephBet H hey is significant in that it represents a man holding his hands up to indicating BEHOLD, thus expect revelation to take place.
The Lord God changes the name of íRáà Abram ('exalted father') to íHRáà Abraham ('father of a multitude'), and YR$ Sarai ('my princess') to HR$ Sarah ('princess') by adding H hey to each of their names. In each case an H is added to their names in Genesis 17:5; 15. Behold, ADONAI reveals Himself by making a covenant in the flesh (circumcision) for an everlasting covenant with the two of them. This is the key covenant in the Tanach where God reveals Himself as a Messanger
When added to the front of a word as a prefix H hey becomes the word for 'the', the definite article.
The first use of this is in Genesis 1:1 בראשׁית ברא אלהים את השׁמים ואת הארץ׃ where the two highlighted words with ה translate as the heavens and the earth where the heavens is the fifth word.
However, when added to the end of a word as a suffix H hey the word becomes feminine as can be seen in the Hebrew for Sarah. It means 'what comes from …'.
In Genesis 2:23:
לזאת יקרא אשׁה כי מאישׁ לקחה־זאת׃
She shall be called women, ishah אשׁה because she was taken out of man, isha אישׁ
Women tend to have more 'behold or intuition or spiritual insight compared to men due to H hey while men have the י yod which will be covered later.
