Pronunciation guide
Kh-et (or Ch-et) is a gutteral sound articulated at the back of the throat, similar to the Scottish “lo-ch” This sound can be challenging for some to make, since it’s not a sound commonly used in English.
Numerical significance
In Gematria, the traditional Hebrew numbering system, Kh-et represents the number eight (8). Eight often symbolizes new beginnings, reflecting the day after creation’s completion in Genesis and the day of circumcision for Hebrew males as a covenant sign.
Cultural and symbolic meaning
The shape of Kh-et has been likened to a doorway or gate, suggesting a passage or entrance. Culturally, it can symbolize an opportunity or an opening to new experiences and wisdom. In the Old Testament, variations in the letter’s form can be significant; for example, an enlarged Kh-et can denote an emphasis on the word it begins.~
