The Mystery of Hesed

The mysterious 3 letter Hebrew word shown above is pronounced as hesed (or khesed) and is found about 250 times in the Old Testament. It expresses an exceedingly wonderful aspect of God’s character. In his book, The Mystery of Hesed, Michael Card writes, “A good case can be made for the claim that this word, hesed, has the largest range of meaning of any word in the Hebrew language, and perhaps in any language.” . . .
