The word for “stone” in Hebrew (evan) has three letters, aleph, bet, and nun, and can be seen as an acronym for the Godhead: The aleph, which has a numerical value of 1, represents the Abba/Av (Father). The bet is symbolic of the Son; it is the first letter of the word ben and has a numerical value of 2. The nun has a numerical value of 50, which is associated with the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) because the Holy Spirit was given at Pentecost, the fiftieth day. Fifty in Jewish thought is associated with freedom (“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom,” 2 Cor. 3:17 NIV).
