The letter vav first appears in the Torah in Genesis 1v 1.
Vav speaks of the connecting force of God, the divine hook that binds heaven and earth together.

When God first created the ' generations ', of the heavens and the earth, the word ' toldot' is used ( Genesis 2:4 ). This refers to created order before the sin and fall of Adam and Eve. After the fall of Adam, however, the word is spelt dirrerently in the Hebrew text, with a missing letter vav. Therefore , after each time the phrase , " these are the generations of ", occurs in scripture ( a way to count the heads of families) , the word is spelt ' defective ' , with a vav missing. The vav was lost. However when we come to Ruth 4 v 18 the phrase , ' these are the generations of Perez", we see it is spelt with the missing vav restored. In all of Scripture, the only two places we see the restored spelling is in Genesis 2v 14 and Ruth 4v18, which leads us to ask the question as to what connection there might be between the creation of the heavens and the earth, the fall of mankind and the creation of the family line of Perez.
The name Perez means' breach '( from paratz - to break through ) . God was going to break through the families of mankind in order to restore creation back to it's original intent. The letter vav represents man, and the very first vav in the Torah is associated with the ' first and last man', as seen in Genesis 1 v1 .
The restored vav is a picture of the Messiah who would descend the ' generations' of Perez. He would be the one to breach the gates of death on our behalf. Just as the original vav was lost through the first Adam and his sin, so the vav is restored through the obedience of the second Adam, the Messiah Jesus.

Jesus fulfils the letter vav - He secured our future by becoming a man, He is the nail ( vav ) that connects us back to the Father
