The Scarlet Cord That Reveals Hebrew's Word for Hope...

The video examines the Hebrew word 'tikva,' which first appears in the story of Rahab in Jericho when she hides Israelite spies and receives instructions to tie a scarlet cord in her window as a sign for her family's safety.

The same word later occurs in the book of Jeremiah, where it conveys the dual meaning of a cord that can be gripped and the concept of hope tied to God's promise.
