The Watermark 22 / 26
Tali with a magnifying glass leaning over a Hebrew scroll; Grandpa's hand beside him pointing to a letter.
Back in his quiet room, Tali asked, 'Can we find it ourselves?' Grandpa showed him the counting game. They went back to Genesis 22, to the word ha-mizbeach — the altar. 'Count forty-seven letters.' Tali counted — one, two, three — and found a Yod. Forty-seven more, a Shin. Forty-seven more, a Vav. Forty-seven more, an Ayin. YESHUA.
