The Hebrew letter for E is ה (He). The fifth letter in the English and in the Graeco-Roman alphabets. In form the Hebrew ה is quite similar to Cheth ח, which has a numerical value of eight, which that of He is five. The signification of the character is window, and in the Egyptian hieroglyphs this meaning is represented by a hand extending the thumb and two fingers. It also represents the fifth name of God, הדור, pronounced Ha-door [Hadur - Ed. 2010], intimating Formosus, Majestuosus, or Omnipotent Creator.
