Definition: The word "wirtv," meaning "to be" in Hebrew, describes a person's state or condition. It originally referred to the physical condition of an animal or a specific individual in Judaism, where it was used as a verb for expressing that someone was alive and had not died yet. In the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 32:6-7), for instance, the Israelites were told they would be "widrivers" if they did not die before they crossed the Jordan River. This reference to a state of being alive, though it is generally understood as an immediate resurrection from the dead, suggests that the concept of "wirtv" had a deep theological significance in Jewish belief. The word's literal meaning is a term used figuratively for life, indicating something that was not yet fully established or completed. The Hebrew verb "widrvei" literally means to "be," but it also includes the idea of being alive and functioning well, which makes it distinct from "wirtv" as a simple verb. The word's use in this context suggests both a literal meaning of living and an understanding that life might not fully begin until someone dies. This interpretation is rooted in Jewish belief in the resurrection and the promise of eternal life found in the Old Testament scriptures, which included the story of Abraham receiving the 12 names of God through divine revelation (Genesis 18:3-9).
