Dictionary K Kaf/20 Kaf (or khaf, or kaph) is the eleventh letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 20, or 500 when in its final form. Khaf literally means “palm of the hand.” It is like a cupped outstretched palm, ready to receive, like the right hand portion of the Second Token of the Lesser Priesthood, and the left hand portion of the First Token of the Higher Priesthood mudras. Kaf represents form, a form that contains the life and energy of the person using it. Being a chalice sign, it also represents Jesus Christ, and the element of water. The letter of formation, bending the straight line into a curved shape, symbolizes the crown of the Torah which is Keter. Kaf teaches us to shape ourselves, we are liquid bending the ego to the shape our character, Christ. Kaf (representing Christ) is what gives us form. As we bend and govern our tendencies, we shape our character. We can only do this by rejecting Ego for humility. Like a potter shaping clay, Kaf recreates us in God’s image. All possibilities of containing, building, and the formation of all existence are represented. Christ is the creator of worlds. We recreate ourselves through his mercy, if not then the fire of the Holy Spirit would burn us to cinder. Thus Kaf changes us by reminding us of who we really are. Keter Hebrew, “crown.” Keter is the uppermost of the Sefirot of the middle line or kav emtsaee (Hebrew for “middle line”), the line of mildness or balance in the Tree of Life. In the Zohar, Keter is known as “the most hidden of all hidden things,” being incomprehensible to man. Only through God may the incomprehensible be known. Keter teaches us humility, “the last shall be first, and the first last” (Matthew 20:16). To see the world through the Sefirot Keter: • one’s thoughts should be pure • one’s temperament should be gentle • one’s face always shining • one’s ears should listen to hear the good in all places • one’s eyes should not seek evil, always looking for the good in all things • one’s nose should be free from the breath of anger • one’s mouth speaking nothing but good, righteousness. We see Keter through Binah, which is a reflection of this Sefirot as seen by the human soul once we are born again. See Book of Remembrance 13:15, 29:7-8, 33:1-4. King of peace See Melchizedek Kislev The ninth month on the Hebrew calendar, which is the third civil month today. It is known as the month of dreams.

Kof/100 Hebrew, represents the requirement of removing the husk of the superficial to reveal the holiness within, indicating the requirement for us to overcome our worldly nature emulate the Creator as we are made in His image, and to realize our true nature, our spiritual nature, beyond the mere physical. Kolob Koukab or kokob (singular), Kokabim or kolaubeam (plural). Masculine noun: star or stars. Kolob may denote a planet or black hole that appears to be a star due to distance, likely at the center of a galaxy, as Abraham describes our star in its orbit. Some Latter-day Saints have speculated that it is the Dog Star, others consider Kolob a planet. According to the Book of Abraham, Kolob is the heavenly body nearest to the throne of God, and is used and an example of Jesus Christ. See 1 Moses 3:27; Abraham 3:3-10.
