Vau is the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. There are passages in the Bible that are poems whose lines start with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet in order (e.g. Lamentations 1-4, Psalm 118 (DR 119)), and these passages are indicated by the presence of the names of the letters in some translations.
