The Bene Gesserit had instructed one of their sisters, Lady Jessica, sworn concubine to the Duke Leto Atreides, to bear the duke a daughter who could be mated to a son of the Harkonnen bloodline.
The offspring of that planned union would, the Bene Gesserit hoped, be the long-awaited Kwisatz Haderach.
The Bene Gesserit had at first feared that Jessica's defiant siring of a male offspring might have derailed the sisterhood's generations-long plan to create the Kwisatz Haderach; they later speculated that Paul himself might be the Kwisatz Haderach, arrived a generation early.

Apparenlty Kwisatz Haderach is the name of a character in Dune with Hebrew origins.
By verbatim it means "jump the path," but in English equivalent is "short cut." I guess that makes sense, though I've gotta admit, it makes me uncomfortable knowing that whoever posts my comics is either a Dune fan, Jewish, or smarter than me. Or, worst case scenario, all three.
