Words with the Hebrew Letter Quph:
Mikveh or mikvah (Hebrew: מִקְוֶה / מקווה, is a bath used for the purpose of ritual immersion to achieve ritual purity.
Thanks to @hebrew I can now recognize these letters and begin to read Hebrew.
Here we have the Hebrew letters Mem, Quph, Vav and Heh. MQVH
And with the letter Tsade instead of Quph we get MTsVah.... מִצְוָה. (commandment)
The feminine noun mitzvah (מִצְוָה) occurs over 180 times in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible. The first use is in Genesis 26:5 where God says that Abraham has "obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments (מִצְוֹתַי mitzvotai), my statutes, and my laws". In the Septuagint the word is usually translated with entole (ἐντολὴ). In Second Temple period funeral inscriptions the epithet phil-entolos, "lover of the commandments", was sometimes inscribed on Jewish tombs. Other words are also used in Hebrew for commands and statutes, for example the Ten Commandments (עשרת הדיברות) are the "Ten Words" (via: Wiki)
Each Hebrew letter holds so much .... the most amazing Alephbet ever created.
The Word of God.

good work
Mikveh: used by women and men both. Special places in Jewish cities world wide, that offer private places where all prep work can be done, one goes underwater several times (very much like baptism) but this is to complete a set of rules related to purifying yourself after an emission of blood, or for men (they have a different place- in town) to go and fully immerse themselves after an emission of semen. There are prayers to be said and an serious private moment to speak and reunite with our maker after being unclean.
