A case in point and an example:
   −
Jesus teaches that not a "jot" or a "tittle" shall pass from the Law until all be fulfilled. This usually is being interpreted as that not even one slightest provision or commandment of the Torah can be set aside, and so, of course, this presents quite a problem for the Christian who does not "keep the law". But what are jots and tittles? The jot is the yod which is the smallest written letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Beyond that fact, the Yod, can be consonental like "Y" in Yodel, and non consonental like the "Y" in fancY. Beyond this, the yod is sometimes written and sometimes deleted, and at times not even pronounced when deleted or non deleted. The Tittle, on the other hand is not even a letter, and appears solely as a decoration and an adorning for beauty in the original hand scripts (manuscripts) of the Hebrew bible, and from there, also in the print editions. In Hebew they are called tag or Keren meaning crowns, according to how they appear. They are not original to the text, nor do they add to the "meaning" of the words or the sense of scripture. The do not add to the sense
