analogous

adjective (analogous)

«analogous» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

Everyday

Similar in some way, so that it can be compared: «analogous to» something. tree →

Bird wings and bat wings do analogous jobs. tree →

Note

Said «a-NAL-a-gus». Noun: analogy. Formal; everyday: «similar», «like».

In Jewish tradition

In Sefer Yetzirah it is used to line up the letters with other groups, such as the seven double letters with the six directions and the holy temple.

Interpretation. Tradition reads the letters as matching the structure of the world, the year and the body, so that each set of things mirrors the others.

Examples

The seven double consonants are analogous to the six dimensions: height and depth, East and West, North and South, and the holy temple that stands in the centre, which carries them all. (Sefer Yetzirah, Kalisch 1877) tree →
