In this passage, Elizabeth is noted as the first person in the New Testament who is filled with the Holy Spirit. Back translating Elizabeth’s words into Hebrew reveals a complex poem based on the Hebrew letters that form the “B” and “R” sounds. The Hebrew word for “blessed” also means "welcome." Below is a list of the words used in the Poem:
40 Greeted (וברך)
41 Greeting (ברכה)
41Womb (ברחמה)
41 Spirit (ברוח)
42 Blessed (ברוך)
42 Among (בקרב)
42 Blessed or Welcome (וברוך)
42 Fruit (פרי)
44 As soon or once (ברגע)
44 Greeting (ברכה)
44 Womb (ברחם)
45 Blessed or Welcome (וברוך)
45 Spoken (שדבר)
48 Blessed (ברוך)
