ancient hebrew pictographs

This is my table I use in my own Bible study notes for the ancient Hebrew pictographs. I am posting it here so I have ease of access to the WordPress code for the Hebrew characters I need for formatting the Bible study posts. The Hebrew Alphabet Chart is here and is copyright Dr. Jeff Benner.
