>These letters are believed to have derived from an Egyptian hieroglyph depicting an ox's head[1] to describe the initial sound of *ʾalp, the West Semitic word for ox[2] (compare Biblical Hebrew אֶלֶף ʾelef, "ox"[3]).

What does the ox represent though? It's clear that the cross represents Jesus' sacrifice but what about the ox?

It likely represents strength, in Egyptian Heiroglyphis, the reverse-Ox' Foreleg () was used to represent strength

Apparently, but I don't know why the image specifically says it represents God when it seems to represent strength like you are saying

It seems to mean that it's the ''strength of the covenant''
