Pey
History & Reconstruction
The Semitic word pey means a "mouth" and there are several ancient Semitic pictographs believed to be this letter, none of which resemble a mouth. The only exception is the South Arabian pictograph. This pictograph closely resembles a mouth and is similar to the later Semitic letters for the letter pey.

This pictograph has the meanings of "speak" and "blow" from the functions of the mouth. This letter also means "edge" as the lips are at the edge of the mouth. There are two sounds for this letter, the stop "P" and the spirant "Ph" (f).

The early Semitic evolved to the letter in the middle Semitic scripts. The letter continued to evolve into the in the late Semitic script and the פ and ף (final pey) in the Modern Hebrew script. The middle Semitic became the Greek Π and the Latin P.

Modern Hebrew Definition of Pey

The 17th letter of the Aleph-Tov means “mouth” and by extension, “word,” “expression,” “vocalization,” “speech,” and “breath.”Pey follows the letter Ayin suggesting the priority of the eyes (understanding and awareness). Ayin gives insight Pey gives insight with expression. The Most High spoke what we know into existence, and since man was created in the image and likeness of The Most High. So the words we speak separate us from all other life on earth. Having the power to speak is a gift that should be used with discretion.

PE

Psalms 119:129 "Thy testimonies are wonderful: Therefore doth my soul keep them."

The subject title of this eight verse section under "PE" is "Guidance by the word." Guidance of your life by the Word of God. Men will say many good things about you to try and direct your life, but the Word of God will give you the instruction you need for all the problems that may arise in your life. If there is faith in His Word, there will be no doubt in the promises that He gives us from His Word.

Psalms 119:130 "The entrance of Thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple."

The word "simple" in the old English, means "sincere", as opposed to crafty. If you are sincere in your studies, His Word will give you the light for your life.

Psalms 119:131 "I opened my mouth, and panted: For I longed for Thy commandments."

I was so hungry I was panting for the meat of God's Word. Many in the world today are running from church to church seeking the truth, and in many churches the truth from God's Word is just not presented as from the manuscripts. What you get is nothing more than man's traditions.

Psalms 119:132 "Look Thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, As Thou usest to do unto those that love Thy name."

In the manuscripts, "name" is given as "Word". So this becomes one of the ten words of the acrostic. Our Father's Word is His mercy, which is His loving kindness is upon you at any time that you call on His name and return you love to Him.

Psalms 119:133 "Order my steps in Thy word: And let not any iniquity have dominion over me."

God order me in the direction that my steps are to go.

Psalms 119:134 "Deliver me from the oppression of man: So will I keep Thy precepts."

Most all oppression comes from the hand and mind of men. They set up their idols, they business, their systems, their games and so on, that they attach more importance than God's precepts. Their life is full of idolatry that has placed above the hand of God.

Psalms 119:135 "Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant; And teach me Thy statutes."

Again we are asked to tell God that we want to be taught. You have to seek the truth and ask Him for the wisdom to understand the statutes of His Word. You can study all the time, yet unless God's Spirit opens your mind to the truth, that understanding will not come.

Psalms 119:136 "Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not Thy law."

When we see the direction that this world is heading, with all the crime and disregard for their fellow men, it brings you to tears. This also refers back to that verse dealing with men's hands building idols and putting those religious forms before God's Word. All teaching that will not align with God's Word falls under those forms of idolatry.

Black History Moment:
William Edward Burghardt "W. E. B." Du Bois (pronounced /duːˈbɔɪz/ doo-boyz; February 23, 1868 – August 27, 1963) was an American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, Pan-Africanist, author, and editor. Born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, Du Bois grew up in a relatively tolerant and integrated community. After completing graduate work at the University of Berlin and Harvard, where he was the first African American to earn a doctorate, he became a professor of history, sociology and economics at Atlanta University. Du Bois was one of the co-founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909.
Du Bois rose to national prominence as the leader of the Niagara Movement, a group of African-American activists who wanted equal rights for blacks. Du Bois and his supporters opposed the Atlanta compromise, an agreement crafted by Booker T. Washington which provided that Southern blacks would work and submit to white political rule, while Southern whites guaranteed that blacks would receive basic educational and economic opportunities. Instead, Du Bois insisted on full civil rights and increased political representation, which he believed would be brought about by the African-American intellectual elite. He referred to this group as the Talented Tenth and believed that African Americans needed the chances for advanced education to develop its leadership.
Racism was the main target of Du Bois' polemics, and he strongly protested against lynching, Jim Crow laws, and discrimination in education and employment. His cause included people of color everywhere, particularly Africans and Asians in colonies. He was a proponent of Pan-Africanism and helped organize several Pan-African Congresses to fight for independence of African colonies from European powers. Du Bois made several trips to Europe, Africa and Asia. After World War I, he surveyed the experiences of American black soldiers in France and documented widespread bigotry in the United States military.
Du Bois was a prolific author. His collection of essays, The Souls of Black Folk, was a seminal work in African-American literature; and his 1935 magnum opus Black Reconstruction in America challenged the prevailing orthodoxy that blacks were responsible for the failures of the Reconstruction Era. He wrote one of the first scientific treatises in the field of American sociology, and he published three autobiographies, each of which contains insightful essays on sociology, politics and history. In his role as editor of the NAACP's journal The Crisis, he published many influential pieces. Du Bois believed that capitalism was a primary cause of racism, and he was generally sympathetic to socialist causes throughout his life. He was an ardent peace activist and advocated nuclear disarmament. The United States' Civil Rights Act, embodying many of the reforms for which Du Bois had campaigned his entire life, was enacted a year after his death
