The "Shemah" (The Hebrew text above) has within its text a very significant message encoded into the last letter of the first word, and the last letter of the last word, which are the Hebrew letters "ayin", and "daleth".
They are larger letters for a reason, according to Jewish tradition, meant to emphasize the need for pronouncing these important words distinctly and without slur.
Strong's Concordance gives the rendering of; "ayin daleth" as "perpetually" no. 5703 "Hebrew text", spelled 'AD; and no. 5707 "Hebrew text", as "witness or testimony", spelled 'ED. Consequently if the Shemah is spoken properly and the meaning understood, it is possible to see that it is meant to be a "Perpetual Witness and Testimony", to the one true GOD of the universe whose name is YAHWEH.
Strong's Concordance also gives the rendering of; "daleth ayin" no. 1843 "Hebrew text", as dea' "day'ah" meaning - "Knowledge". The rendering now could be, "A Perpetual Witness and Testimony of the Knowledge of the Name YAHWEH".
I would like to thank N.H.KOX proprietor of apocalypsehouse.com for creating this display and revealing the larger size of the letters "ayin" and "daleth" and their important meaning.
MALACHI 3;
16. Then they that feared Yahweh spake often one to another: and Yahweh hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared Yahweh, and that thought upon his Name.
17. And they shall be mine, saith Yahweh of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
