hook

In the wilderness, Father had Moses create vavs (hooks) to join the curtains and the veil to the pillars of the tabernacle (Exodus 26-27, 36-38). The word vav corresponds to the letter vav ו which is a picture of the Tabernacle hook. As a hook joins things together, the letter vav ו is used in words to mean "and" and other words which connect phrases and ideas in the Bible.
