Language & etymology
What the name means.
Lyra comes from Greek for a lyre, not a Hebrew divine name. Psalm 98 names the Hebrew kinnor, not this Greek word; musical praise is the thematic connection.
Isopsephy
The numeric value.
Lambda 30 + Upsilon 400 + Rho 100 + Alpha 1 = 531
Numeric value is a traditional interpretive practice; it is not the word’s etymology and does not establish doctrine.
Greek character
A devotional reflection.
These are Greek letters and traditional numeric values. Paleo-Hebrew does not apply to this Greek spelling; the spiritual reflection comes from the accompanying Scripture, not letter pictures.
