Genesis 15:1-21, Belief reckoned as righteousness

Ancient people used to put animal hides in a pot of boiling water, and skim off the thick substance that formed at the surface. So the story the ancient pictographs are painting of “to believe” is of the strong (aleph) water (mem) which was used as glue (and is still the basis of glue production today). So, “to bind,” when used as a verb, or “glue,” when used as a concrete noun. When the nun is added, then, the story becomes the bond (aleph + mem) that continues (nun). The Hebrew language defines the abstract concept of belief as ideas or truths that stick with us continually.
