Matthew 5:18 (a) This is "jod" of the Hebrew alphabet. It occurs just before Psalm 119:73. It has a numerical value of ten and is used in the Hebrew language both as a letter and as a number and also as an article by which the value and meaning of another letter is changed. It is the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Our Lord uses it to show the very great care which He exercises over the smallest details of the Scripture.
