2023-11-15T07:42:00.000-08:00

^1:1In former times Divinity shaped the skies/clouds and the land(./,)

²Because the land existed as an unprofitable/formless confused emptiness/waste with thick darkness over the surface of the turbid mass.

And the Spirit/wind emanating from Divinity was continuously moving rapidly to and fro upon the surface of that roiled up shapeless matter.

³And Divinity spoke out:

“It is preferred that it becomes light.”

And it became light.

⁴Then Divinity considered the light, that it was functional and made a distinction by examining the light and examining the darkness.

⁵And Divinity named the light, “Day/Yom.” And to the darkness It gave a name, “Night.”



This was a plowing and a harrowing, a first time.



⁶Then Divinity spoke, “It is preferred that an atmosphere exist in between the waters.”

It came about.

It made a sorting out between these waters and between those waters.

⁷Divinty ordained the atmosphere into its required form and It caused a sorting out between the waters under the atmosphere and between the waters of the atmosphere.

⁸And Divinity named the atmosphere, “Sky.”



This was a plowing and a harrowing, a second time.



⁹And Divinity spoke,

“It is preferred that the water be gathered together under the atmosphere, towards one place, and the dry will become visible.”

It became so.

¹⁰Divinity named the dry, “Land,” and the gathering together of the water It named, “Seas.”

Then Divinity saw that they were functional.

¹¹And Divinity spoke,

“The land will produce: vegetation, grass sowing by scattering seeds, tree making offspring to form, that which is seed on the land.”

It became so.

¹²And the land brought forth grass, herbage scattering seed, sowing in accordance to its form, and tree forming seeds. Divinity saw that it was functional.



¹³This was a plowing and a harrowing, a third time.



¹⁴Then Divinity spoke,

“It is preferred that lights exist in the atmosphere from the sky to make a distinction between the “Day” and between the “Night.” And they existed a distinguishing banner/signal between the Day and between the Night,” and they existed a distinguishing mark and for sacred seasons and for day and years.

¹⁵And they existed to be lights in space in the sky to cause light on the land.

And it existed as follows:

¹⁶Then Divinity appointed two lights:

The great ones, the great light a ruler of day and

The small light a ruler of the night and

The stars.

¹⁷And Divinity ascribed to those in expanse of atmosphere of visible skies,

To shine over the land.

¹⁸To be present in day and in night,

To make a distinction between day and between night

And Divinity saw it as functional.



¹⁹This was a plowing and a harrowing, a fourth time.



²⁰Then Divinity spoke,

“It is preferred that the waters be swarming: schooling ones, breathing ones,

And flyer, it will fly over the land and within the region of the atmosphere of the skies.”

²¹And then Divinity fashioned the large reptilian and all breathing living ones that slithers which swarmed the waters according to its particular distribution and all flying to its particular distribution, Divinity will see that functional.

²²Then Divinity caused them to prosper by saying,

“You must be fruitful and you must diversify, you must fill the waters in the seas and the flyer he must increase in the land.”



²³This was a plowing and a harrowing, a fifth time.



²⁴Then Divinity spoke,

“It is preferred that the land cause a breathing one, a living one to come out: For according to its particular distribution:

livestock,

slithering/herding one and

Living one of land

according to its particular distribution.”

It was in this manner.

²⁵Divinity fashioned/ordained each living one of the land according to its particular distribution;

livestock,

swarming one,

and living one of Land

according to its particular distribution.

And Divinity observed that It was functional.



²⁶Then Divinity promised,

“We will fashion-train an Adam in our image and our likeness.

And they will harvest fish of the sea and flyer of heavens and the beasts in all the land and every moving one, that one moving on the land.

²⁷So Divinity fashioned-trained the Adam in Its image, in image of Divinity It fashioned-trained it, both the male and the female It fashioned-trained them.

²⁸And Divinity blessed them, Divinity said to them,

“You must bear fruit,

You must grow great,

You must consecrate the land,

You must bring it under control,

You must harvest fish of the sea and flyer of the air and all living ones that move on the land.”

²⁹And Divinity said,

“Look, I gave to you all green plants seeding seed, those on surface of all the land and each of the tree which has fruit of the tree seeding,

See, for you it will be food.”

³⁰And to every living thing of the land and to every winged of the air and for every herding one on the land which in him was breathing life,

Every green herb for food,”

And it was so. And Divinity saw all that It fashioned and look,

Very functional.”



³¹This was a plowing and a harrowing, a sixth time.



^2:1And the skies and the land and all inhabitants of them, they were prepared.

²Divinity made an end of all Its work which It fashioned by the seventh time.

³Divinity blessed the seventh, It set it apart because in it, It made an end of all which Divinity shaped to form.

⁴These lists of histories of the skies and the land when, there, being fashioned in a time by Jehovah Divinity, to fashion the land and the skies.

⁵And before any meditation of the kingdom was existing in the land and before all flourishing of the small villages were springing up, because before Jehovah Divinity had caused gentle and beneficent rule to be sent down upon the land.

And before an Adam to perform acts of religious worship for the land.

⁶And a protection rose up over the land in order to give to drink/refreshment to all the area of the land.



⁷Then Jehovah Divinity formed/molded into a particular shape the Adam from the scattered multitude of the earth and he was blowing the spirit/wind of renewal on the Adam's passion, then he existed a revived life.

⁸And Jehovah Divinity established an enclosed garden in Pleasure afore time, He was transforming the Adam there, which he fashioned/trained.

⁹And Jehovah Divinity caused to spring up apart from the region, separate from every other counsel being desired because of the revelation as appropriate for making one whole, even the counsel of the Living One in the middle of the enclosed garden, (whereas existed a counsel of the divination of auspicious and ill-omened.)

¹⁰And a cohort went out from Pleasure/Eden to open the eyes from the enclosed garden and from there it was divided and became four bands under their leaders.

¹¹The name of the first “Increase/Overflowing”

To open the eyes, the one turning the course of things in all the land, land of the Circle Dances in which there was the golden splendor.

¹²And golden splendor of that prosperous land, there, the pearl of manna and the stone potter's wheel and the striped garment.

¹³And the name of the second cohort, “Bursting Forth,”

It is the nomadic one in all of the land of “Black.”

¹⁴And the name of the third cohort,

“Rapid,” it is the one going east of “A Step Forward.”

And the fourth cohort, “Fruit/Fruitfulness.”



¹⁵Now Jehovah Divinity received the Adam, He was setting him as part of a pledge in theenclosed garden of Pleasure to perform acts of religious worship for it and to guard it.

¹⁶Then Jehovah Divinity commanded the Adam saying,

“Of any edible/desirable counsel of the enclosed garden you will receive eagerly/eat¹.”

¹⁷”But from counsel of the discernment of propitious and ill-omened things/events you will not be receiving eagerly of it. Because from that time you receive eagerly from it, becoming worthy of death, you will be worthy of death.”



¹⁸Then Jehovah Divinity spoke, “It is not pleasant for the Adam in to be in seclusion, I will prepare for him one who helps, equally and adequately to himself.”

¹⁹And Jehovah Divinity had formed some from the land from whomsoever of living one of the plains.

Of every winged creature of the sky he was gathering to the Adam to distinguish what he would categorize and all that the Adam, the breathing living one, he was categorizing, that was the designation.

²⁰And the Adam was proclaiming a category for all cattle and all flying creatures of the sky and living ones of the plains, but for the Adam, he found not a helper corresponding.

²¹Then Jehovah Divinity caused to fall upon the Adam a period of inactivity and kept him in an undisturbed state.

And he took out one from the side chambers because he had enclosed a kin in them.

²²Jehovah Divinity had established the side chamber.

That one he was selecting for the Adam, for a wife, he was bringing to the Adam.

²³The Adam spoke, “This one, might of my might, kin of my kin, she will be proclaimed a wife because for a husband she was taken, this one.”

²⁴On this account then a male will leave behind his father and his mother and have stayed with his wife, they will become one kin.

²⁵The Adam and his wife were wise and were not shaming themselves before one another.



^3:1Look, the one using divination/sorcerer was shrewder-craftier than all, a living one of the plain which Jehovah Divinity had to put up with.

He was speaking to the woman, “Indeed, is it that Divinity commanded 'Will you not receive eagerly of all counsels away from the garden enclosure?'”

²And the woman said to the one using divination, “Of the discourse of the counsels of the garden enclosure we are receiving eagerly.

³And of the result from the counsel which is in the midst of the enclosed garden.”

“Divinity commanded, 'You will not be receiving eagerly apart from it, and neither will you be reaching out to another apart from it, beware lest you will become worthy of death?'”

⁴The one using divination promised the woman,

“You will certainly not be worthy of death.

⁵Because Divinity, recognizing when you receive eagerly from it, your eyes will be opened and you will exist as Divinity to be skilled in knowing an auspicious and ill-omened thing/event.”

⁶Then the woman foresaw that the counsel was propitious for provision and because the counsel made adequately wise it seemed when necessities were being required, she was taking of the result/fruit² and she received eagerly and gave also to the Adam with her and he was tasting.

⁷Both of them were observing closely. They recognized that they were mentally agile.

Then they violated chamber of whole burnt offering and they fashioned for themselves a new thing.

⁸And they heard the voice of Jehovah Divinity traversing the enclosed garden in the heat of anger. And the Adam had withdrawn himself and his woman from the presence of Jehovah Divinity into the middle of a counsel away from the enclosed garden.

⁹And Jehovah Divinity summoned the Adam. And he spoke to him,

“Where are you?”

¹⁰And he replied,

“Your voice I heard in enclosed garden and I was in awe/revered when I acted prudently and I withdrew myself.”

¹¹He demanded,

“Who informed you? Because if prudent, from the counsel which I commanded not to receive eagerly, from it you received eagerly of?”

¹²The Adam replied,

“The woman which you tied to me, she gave from the counsel, I was receiving eagerly.”

¹³Jehovah Divinity spoke to the woman,

“What is this you fashioned?”

The woman replied,

“The one using divination, he caused me to be misled and I was receiving eagerly/eating.”

¹⁴Jehovah Divinity spoke to the one using divination,

“Because you fashioned this, you will be cursed by all the beasts by all living ones of the land, and on your belly you will go about and from humiliation you will receive eagerly all the days of your lives.”

¹⁵”And personal hatred, a thorn-bush between you and between the woman and between your posterity and between her posterity, he will bruise your prince. And you will bruise him as a consequence.”

¹⁶Unto the woman he spoke,

“To cause you to become great;

I will cause to be greater your counsel/wisdom

And your confirmation by oath.

You will bring forth your peoples/descendants.

And your desire to be adjacent to your husband and he will be like you, alongside you.”

¹⁷And to the Adam he spoke,

“Because you obeyed the voice of your wife, you received eagerly from the counsel which I commanded you saying, 'You will not be receiving eagerly from it.'

It was disrespectful of you to have crossed over to the region/country. From it, that action, in toilsome labors you will be receiving eagerly all days of your life.”

¹⁸And thorns will encompass and thistles will spring up against you. But you will be proclaiming aloud, and you will eat of the grass of the field (i.e. the cattle that feed on the grass of the field).

¹⁹In sweating from vexation from your passion, you will be engaging together. Until you turn back these, the land/country from which your were taken, of that multitude you, these that multitude you will bring back.”



²⁰The Adam proclaimed the name of his wife, “Life,” because she became the mother figure of each living one.

²¹Jehovah Divinity fashioned for Adam and for his wife a tunic of awakening/skin and he was causing them to be arrayed.

²²Jehovah Divinity spoke,

“Behold the Adam, He became as one separate from us in order to discover those auspicious and ill-omened things/events.

And now perhaps he will stretch out his hand and he will take even from counsel of the Living One, that he will receive eagerly and he will live for-ever.

²³Jehovah Divinity sent him forth from the enclosed garden of Pleasure to perform acts of religious worship for the country from which he was taken, from there.

²³He was putting forth the Adam, He was causing him to reside in front of the enclosed garden in Pleasure, together with the ministers of Divinity, and with a sakin/hallaf/sword to convert to obey the way of living from the counsel of the Living One.



^4:1And the Adam had sexual relations with his wife, Life. She became pregnant. She brought forth Spear/Cain.

She said,”A branch/A spear a man/champion from Jehovah.”

²She was increased by begetting his brother, Breath/Abel;

Breath/Abel became a tender of flocks;

Spear/Cain was serving land/country.



³And a death occurred.

Spear/Cain was bringing in offspring of the country, a sacrifice to Jehovah.

⁴And Breath/Abel brought in also, he from firstborns of flock and from choicest, and Jehovah gave regard to Breath/Abel and to sacrifice.

⁵But he regarded not with respect Spear/Cain and his sacrifice; Spear/Cain was exceedingly angry, his face was cast down/he was depressed.

⁶And Jehovah said concerning Spear/Cain, “Why, did he burn with anger? And why did your faces fall?

⁷If you were doing good, then respect, and if you were not doing good, then at the tent opening a sin sacrifice is lying down and for you a stretching out of it and it is a symbol/similitude to yourself.”

⁸And Spear/Cain is speaking against Breath/Abel, his brother. And it came to pass they being in the place of sacrifice, Spear/Cain was rising up against Breath/Abel his brother and he murdered him.

⁹Jehovah spoke to Spear/Cain, “Where is your brother?”

And he replied, “I did not know I was the one guarding my brother.”

¹⁰He said, “What did you do? The sound of the blood-stains of your brother, those are crying to me from the land.”

¹¹”And henceforth you are being cursed by the land which shouted out, 'Here are the blood-stains of your brother by your power/authority.'”

¹²”When you will perform acts of religious worship for the land it will no longer be committing its strength/wealth to you. As a vagrant you will exist in the land.”

¹³And Spear/Cain spoke to Jehovah, “A great thing is my judgement for me to carry.”

¹⁴”Look, you are expelling me today from out of presence of the region, I will be concealed from your presence, I will be one quaking and lamenting in the land, it will come about that anyone coming upon me will murder me.”

¹⁵And Jehovah said to him, “Therefore, anyone killing Spear/Cain, I swear he will be avenged.”

And Jehovah was ordaining, Spear/Cain as a sign/portent, to anyone overtaking him to not strike him.”

¹⁶Spear/Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and he was residing in the country of Wandering/Nod, East from Pleasure.



¹⁷Spear/Cain had sexual relations with his wife, she conceived, she bore, along with Spear/Cain. It came about he built a city and he named the city the same as the name of his son, Dedicated/Enoch.



¹⁸Fugitive/Irad was brought forth for Dedicated/Enoch and Fugitive/Irad brought forth Smitten by Deity/Mehujael. And Smitten by Deity/Mehujael brought forth Man Who is of Deity/Methushael.

And Man Who is of Deity/Methushael brought forth Powerful/Lamech.

¹⁹Powerful/Lamech was taking two wives, the name of one Ornament/Adah and the name of the second Sultry/Zillah.

²⁰Ornament/Adah was bearing Jubilee/Jabal, he became the founder of the guild/caste ofthose dwelling in a tent and a cattleman.

²¹And the name of his brother, Stream of water/Jubal, he himself became the founder of theguild/caste of all using skillfully the harp and the pipes.

²²And Sultry/Zillah also bore Product of Spear/Tubalcain, smithing of every edged instrument of brass and iron. And a sister of Product of Spear/Tubalcain, Pleasant/Naamah.

²³And Powerful/Lamech was speaking to his wives, “Ornament/Adah and Sultry/Zillah, “Obey my voice, wives of Powerful/Lamech, Listen to my word.

Because a man I killed for a wound, an apostate for my bruises.”

²⁴If swearing that vengeance will be taken for Spear/Cain, Powerful/Lamech is swearing seven times.



²⁵Adam again had sexual relations with his wife. She bore a son. She was calling his name Placing for Another/Seth,

“For Divinity appointed me an offspring another instead of Breath/Abel because Spear/Cain murdered him.”

²⁶And Placing for Another/Seth also he fathered a people, he was calling by the name Mankind/Enosh, at that time he had pressed in to speak loudly and with urgency in the name of Jehovah.



^5:1This writing of a chronicle of the desendants of Adam in a time concerning the formation of Adam by Divinity, in the likeness of Divinity He formed him.

¹¹And the dove came to him at evening time and look, a newly plucked olive leaf in its beak! And Rest/Noah recognized the waters had been slowed over the region.

¹²And he waited for seven days again and let loose the dove and it did not return to him again.

¹³And it was in the six hundredth and first year, in the first day of the first month, the waters had laid waste over the region and Rest/Noah removed a covering of the coffer and he looked and indeed they, the surfaces of the region, were laid waste.

¹⁴And in the twenty seventh day of the second month the region was laid waste.

¹⁵And Divinity spoke to Rest/Noah commanding,

¹⁶“Go forth from the coffer, you and your wife and your sons and the wives of your sons with you.

¹⁷Each living one that with you of each, one bearing good news/common man, fowls and cattle/livestock and all moving ones that move on the land exit, bring forth with you swarming/herding over the land/country and were fruitful and were multiplied upon the land/country.”

¹⁸And Rest/Noah exited and his sons and his wife and the wives of his sons with him.

¹⁹Each living one, each moving/herding one, each fowl each moving/herding in the region according to their family, they exited out of the coffer.

²⁰And Rest/Noah built an altar to Jehovah and he took from all the clean to eat and sacrificelivestock and from all the clean to eat and sacrifice fowl and he went up a whole burnt sacrifice upon the altar.

²¹And Jehovah breathed a breath of the tranquillity, and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again act to diminish the region for the Adam, never mind the stressfulness/calamity of the Adam's heart, even from his juvenility, and I will not again, I will not smite each living one as I did.

²²Furthermore all the times/seasons of the region, sowing and harvest, and cold and heat, and awakening of summer and beginning of winter, and day and night it will not shabath/rest.”

^9:1And Divinity caused to prosper Rest/Noah and his sons and he commanded them, “You must disperse and you must become numerous and you must fill the region.”

²And because of you, the fear/reverence and the dread will be on each living one of the land and on each fowl of the sky and on each that move/herd on the region and on the fish of the sea.

³Each moving/herding one that it is a sustenance for you it will be for you a food just as herbs, green plants, I gave into your custody each one.

⁴Surely one bearing good news/common man with a living soul a blood/slaughter you must not devour/slay.

⁵Indeed the blood/slaughter of your living soul I will require from you yourself, of each living one I will require, and from the hand of all the Adam, from the hand of a male of his brother I will demand/require a living soul of the Adam.

⁶One pouring out blood of the Adam, by the Adam blood will be poured out because in image of Divinity he fashioned the Adam.

¹¹And I was establishing my covenant with you and each one bearing good news/common man, it-covenant will not again be cut in pieces/confirmation sacrifice by means of the waters of the inundation and there will not be again an inundation to purify the region.”

¹²And Divinity is commanding, “This omen of a covenant that I give between me and you and breathing one, each of the living ones that is with you for offspring forever.

¹³My bow I gave in the cloud and it will become for an omen of a covenant between me and between the land.

¹⁴And it will be in my cloud over the land and it will appear, the bow in the cloud.

¹⁵And I am remembering my covenant which is between me and between you and between each breathing one, a living one in each one bearing good news/common man, and it will not happen again the waters of an inundation to purify each one bearing good news/common man.

¹⁶And it will be the bow in the cloud, and I will see it to bring to mind the covenant lasting forever between Divinity and each breathing one, a living one, each one bearing good news/common man which is in the region.”

¹⁷And Divinity said to Rest/Noah, “This the omen of the covenant which I established between me and each one bearing good news/common man that is in the region.”

¹⁸And they were the sons of Rest/Noah who exited the coffer Name/Shem and Hot/Ham and Widely-Extending/Japheth. And Hot/Ham, he, the father of Humiliated/Canaan.

²²Since Hot/Ham the father of Humiliated/Canaan looked to the shame/nakedness of his father [which is the nakedness of his mother] then he told his two brothers in the street.

²³Then he, Name/Shem and Widely-Extending/Japheth accepted the mantle and they are rising with it upon both their backs and they followed again and they covered over the dishonor of their father and by their presence again and the dishonor of their father they did not give attention.

²⁴Then Rest/Noah awoke from the his wine and recognized what had been done to him byhis least son.

²⁵So he said, he having been cursed is an object of pity. Humiliated/Canaan will perform acts of religious worship for worshippers for his countrymen.

²⁶Then he said, “Having been blessed, Jehovah, Divinity of Name/Shem also may Humiliated/Canaan be his to perform acts of religious worship.”

²⁷Then Divinity will persuade Widely-Extending/Japheth and he will reside in the tabernacle of Name/Shem and Humiliated/Canaan was his one to perform acts of religious worship.

We will make frankincense a memorial to burn a burning of incense/sacrifice then we will make altars of tile, a white disc [moon] as a sacred object and fermented wine to become to them for desirableness.”⁴

⁴And they commanded, “Lay a foundation, we will build a city for us with a tower/temple/ziggurat whose chief of it is in the skies and we will form/fashion to act for ourselves there so that we will not be scattered over the surface of all of the land.

⁵And Jehovah descended to consider the city and the tower/temple/ziggurat which the peoples of the Adam had constructed.

⁶And Jehovah said, “Up until now this was a society of men proceeding on its appointed journey and a polity proceeding on its appointed path, for all of them, and this one they have desecrated/defiled to fashion and henceforth every wickedness will not be made inaccessible to them to perform.

⁷Come now we will descend to intermingle with them, there within their border, because they will not obey a man to purify depravity.

And the Practitioner of Divination acted shamelessly-cunningly-craftily of all living-people of the field, which Jehovah Deity-One Of Divine Nature had fashioned-appointed,

He was speaking to the woman, “Indeed, Deity-One Of Divine Nature was saying, 'You will not eat of all counsels-trees of garden enclosure.'” 3:1

And the woman said to Practitioner of Divination, “Of the fruit of the counsel-tree of the garden enclosure we are eating. 3:2 And of the fruit of the counsel-tree, which in midst of the enclosed garden.”

“You are not worthy of death, you will not become worthy of death. 3:4 But Deity-One Of Divine Nature recognizing when in time you eat of it, your eyes they will be opened and you will become as a deity-One Of Divine Nature to discover the propitious and dire.” 3:5

The woman gave attention to this counsel, it was propitious for provision and those necessities it seemed were being required to make adequately prepared, she was taking of the fruit-result and she ate and she gave-taught also to the man with her and he was tasting-consuming. 3:6

Both of them were observing closely. They recognized that unprepared-undignified-acting cunningly they.

They were sewing together fig leaves, they were fashioning for themselves girdles [ephods? an article of divination]. 3:7

'Til your return to the land from which you were taken, that of multitude you, to that multitude you will return.” 3:19

The man proclaimed name of his wife, “Life,” because she became mother figure of each living one. 3:20

Jehovah Deity-One Of Divine Nature fashioned for Adam-one of human nature and for his wife-one of human nature a tunic of awakening-skin and he was causing them to be arrayed. 3:21 Jehovah Deity-One Of Divine Nature spoke, “Behold the man-one of human nature, he existed as one of-from us to discover propitious and dire, and now perhaps he will stretch out his hand and he will take even from counsel of the Living One, that he might eat and he might live for-everlasting.” 3:22

Jehovah Deity-One Of Divine Nature sent him forth from the enclosed garden of Pleasure-Eden to serve the country from which he was taken, from there. 3:23

He first-fruit of garden, the Adam-one of human nature, he caused himself to dwell in front of the enclosed garden in Pleasure-Eden , together with the minsters-cherubim, and with a flame of the sword, to convert, to obey the way of living of the counsel of the Living One. 3:24

__________________
Commentary

A key point is verse 3--You will not be taking fruit apart from the one in the center of the garden. See also 2:9 where Jehovah restricts the eating of any counsel that sprouted up apart from the one which he planted.

The whole point of chapters 2 and 3 is that Jehovah separates Adam and Eve from the teaching of divination that is in the land. And they are not to eat of any counsel outside of the enclosed garden of Pleasure.

Deity-Master of All Power fashioned-prepared the living ones of the land according to its forms and the beasts according to its forms and all, all moving-herding things of the ground according to its forms and Deity-Master of All Power observed that functional. 1:25

And Deity-Master of All Power spoke, “We will fashion-prepare Adam-Humanity in our image and our likeness. And they will harvest fish of the sea and flyer of heavens and in the beasts in all the land and in every moving one, the one moving on the land.” 1:26

And Deity-Master of All Power will create-fashion the Adam-Humanity in his image, in image of Deity-Master of All Power he will create-fashion them, a male and a female he will create-fashion them. 1:27

And Deity-Master of All Power blessed them,

Deity-Master of All Power spoke to them, “You must bear fruit, you must grow great, you must consecrate the land, you must bring it under control, you must harvest in fish of the sea and in flyer of the atmosphere and in all living ones that move about on the land.” 1:28

And Deity-Master of All Power spoke. “Look, I gave to you all green plants seeding seed, that on surface of all the land and all of the tree which in it fruit of tree seeding, see, for you it will be for food.” 1:29

And it was a breaking-knitting and it was a ploughing-taking care of, the sixth time. 1:31

✍ My Commentary

The heavens are recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse is declaring. Ps 19:1

Preface

For that one who studies and enjoys science and also studies and enjoys the Bible:

It is often stated that the sciences and the Bible are at odds. In fact you can't believe both at the same time because they are contradictory. As one who in fact sees both the Bible and Science as compatible I made an effort to look at Genesis to see what there was to see. In that endeavor I undertook to “translate” from the Hebrew to English what Moses wrote down in Genesis. In doing so I found some interesting differences from the translations of old...

In reading the account in Genesis it should be asked, “Why was it written?”

It was written as an account of the relationship of deity to humanity. And more specifically the branch of humanity that later would be known as Israel. What are the roots of Israel, why was it singled out and what was its purpose?

The first chapter of Genesis is concerned with the “terraforming” of the land and the sky that was over it. This included the appearance of the lower creatures and then those which we call higher forms of life.

So in looking at the Hebrew, I try to put some thoughts and questions down that help me understand what Deity revealed to Moses. Someone who feels that the study of the world around us can not be contradictory to that revelation, because the same Deity that revealed is the one that was there for it all.

The writer of the book of Genesis

Moses was the one who penned the book of beginnings. All that we know about him is limited to what is found in the Pentateuch-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy. The oral traditions that were passed down from Hebrew rabbis are also part of what we know concerning Moses. 1400 years after Moses the writers of the New Testament refer to his upbringing--"and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works."

It should not be a surprise that Moses wrote in the style and with the imagery of his early training. This is not an impediment to the faith of those who think that Moses wrote only of things that Deity "revealed" to him.

Don't be surprised, the way Moses composed the first few chapters of Genesis are compatible with the "modern" understanding of the world we see around us.

______________________

In former times Deity created-shaped the sky-heavens and the land-earth. 1:1

In the beginning-In former times or the one in the beginning. The one who has preeminence who is Deity. A question arises when looking at the creation-fashioning of the sky and land. Is this a purely localized event in respect to this part of the solar system? Or is Moses speaking of the broader context of everything that exists in the universe?

Deity-Elohim is the plural word for god in Genesis. It may also be translated as Deity. There is only One type of true Deity just as there is only one type of human. Deity is juxtaposed to humanity. Deity is existent outside of time without limit in power and knowledge. There is only one type of deity. Elohim is an "human" deity. That is to say that it is not an animal or plant deity. As opposed to other religions that had animal and plant deities. This helps to understand how there is only one (type of) Deity, and yet there can be three persons, all are the same sort of being--deity. Just as we understand there is one humanity but there are billions of individual humans. Deity is presented in Genesis as the class of being that directed the formation of the sky, land and living things. This class of being somehow effected and or affected change on the heavens-skies and earth-land. This change is recorded as ברא / BRA. The most basic meaning is “to fatten or fill up” and further to "form, fashion or create." In Genesis chapter 1, Deity is shown to be the guiding, forming intelligence that directs and is involved in the world-land as it was brought into existence. It is an open question as to whether Deity created ex-nihilo (from nothing) or if existing matter was formed into the platform upon which life could exist.

He did this to the atmosphere-sky and the earth-land. It might be conjectured that this includes all of the existent universe as we understand today or it might be referencing the completion of the terra and its atmospheric envelope. What follows in the next chapters of Genesis is a explanation of the origins of the earth-land and its surroundings as a lead up to the origins of the Adamic-Priestly lineage of those to whom Moses belonged and was writing.

______________________

And the land-earth existed as a formless confused emptiness. And extreme darkness over surfaces of depths. And the Spirit-wind from Deity was moving continuously and rapidly to and fro upon the surface of the waters. 1:2

There is a question that is often expounded upon, “Should it be: the earth wasor becamea void?” Somesuppose a long “gap” or change in the status of the earth and its environs that took place between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. This “gap” allow for long ages to pass and the fossils of monsters that existed in an imagined first creation of 1:1. It is proposed as the time of manlike creatures, i.e. co-magnon man, neanderthal etc. to explain those remains as well as the remaining “disembodied spirits” that are demons and evil spirits in the biblical accounts.

The land-earth -- Those who heard or read this word near the time Moses wrote would have thought of the land-earth in a way that to them was confirmed by observation. Their world was as big as they could see plus that portion they knew about. Beyond that existed the realms that they had heard about from trusted "explorers." Some have called them "scientifically naive". But within the limitations of their ability, they made observations and drew conclusions. They could observe the world and make judgments about it that were limited but could be called "scientific."

"Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence."

Their observations were collated and stated in ways that they would have called "science." The current view is that people ten thousand years ago were unscientific is egocentric to say the least. The data was more circumscribed, no doubt, but it took into account what they had observed and tried to make sense of it. We now call that the scientific method.

formless confused emptiness-- Put in modern scientific jargon "The formation of the Earth as a planet was a large stochastic process..." That the origin of the land-earth was an area of study of their scientific communities cannot be denied.

Around 4000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ the Sumerian civilization began to rise on the planes of Mesopotamia. Cuneiform was devised about 400 years later and around 3500 years before Christ tablets recounting the Sumerian's view of the organization of the land-earth were written. The state of formlessness, confusion (chaos) and emptiness were considered unsuitable for life. So Deity entered the scene and started to organize things, at least in the vicinity of land-earth.

There are similarities between the Sumerian accounts of creation and the flood but many dissimilarities as well.
______________________

And the Spirit-wind from Deity was moving continuously and rapidly to and fro upon the surface of the waters.

This is the accounting of how Deity formed the land-earth to be "just right" for life. And his right to name and therefore his right of ownership.

was moving continuously and rapidly to and fro upon the surface of the waters--Deity is position on the planet in the extreme darkness. Carefully note that the Spirit-wind is on the surface of the water, that is to say on the surface of the “planet.” From this perspective it might be assumed that he is moving about the “planet.” The solid part, the land-country which existed as a formless-confused darkness-misery that was over the surface, extending to the deep—A confused darkness enshrouded the whole earth-land without any light reaching the surface.

The Spirit-wind from Deity is upon the surface, in the midst of the chaos. He is surrounded by the darkness that shrouds the entire land-earth that is covered by the waters. There are many theories on the stages in earth's transitions from clouds of dust particles to magma oceans to H2O.

Obviously the first hearers and readers of these things would have understood the descriptions differently than we do today. That in fact does not make them inaccurate, just inaccurately understood. Is it possible for Deity to relate to Moses the events in such a way that as new data are observed the understanding of the description of the "creation" is modified?
Deity took up residence on the planet and moved about over the surface of the waters or fluid magma or later in the sequence of events over the surface of the fluid H2O.

______________________

And Deity spoke out: “It is-was becoming-existing light,” and it was-existed light. 1:3

It is becoming --This is taken to be a kind of command or wish by Deity such as "It will become..." or "Let it become..." To be decided is whether Deity is creating light or is He from His stand-point over the surface of the deep merely calling for the light to penetrate the extreme darkness? I take it that Deity is calling for the "shades" to be opened to allow light to reach through to the surface of the planet. "It was existing" is also a possible way of translating this. It an imperfect verb and has the meaning of an action that is unfinished-it is existing, it was existing, it will exist... The last part of the sentence light it was, light it existed.
This "being or beings" Deity proclaimed that there will be light on the planet that is shrouded in darkness. If you have studied anything on the subject of light it is known that a type of light (cosmic microwave background) was there before the existence of suns and stars but suns and stars existed before their planets. Therefore it must be concluded that if the earth-land was the focus of this creation-formation that the sun and stars were already in existence, the Spirit-wind was hovering in darkness over the earth-land.

The pronouncement that there would be light was not a calling into being of the sun and stars but that the confused darkness would condense down, solidifying, becoming the planet and allowing the light to reach the surface of the earth-land where Deity was moving.

At this point it must be noted that several things have happened without any reference to time except a series of sequential events.

From the viewpoint of a person on the surface of the earth-land, a progressive change towards a livable environment is being chronicled.
______________________

And he considered the light, that functional-valuable, Deity made a distinction-separation between the light and between the darkness. 1:4 And Deity gave a name to the light-”Day,” and to the darkness he gave a name-”Night.”

Deity considered the light and saw that it was functional-good and made a distinction-separation between light and dark. At this point it is possible that the earth-land began to rotate so that the whole earth-land would have the light and dark. But obviously there was not a continual daylight on the surface of the earth-land. Light-Day changed to dark-night and dark-night changed to light-day. The 2nd century BC audience would not have understood the change between light and dark (night and day) to be a movement of the sun, moon, and stars. Today it is called a rotation of the earth-land. They observed the daily change, from the vantage point of the land's-earth's surface, and they drew the conclusion that the heaven-sky rotated around the land-earth.

functional-valuable--Deity saw-considered that the light produced a beneficial effect on the earth-land and was also necessary for the next steps
gave a name to the light-”Day,"--This is the first use of the word "day" Genesis (in Hebrew יוֹם yôwm.) --

and to the darkness he gave a name-”Night.” The absence of light received the name "night."

Using the unpointed Hebrew vs the Masoretic Text.
Multiple meaning in Hebrew from one root word.

After considerable study and translation work I stumbled upon:

The Genealogy of Creation, Newly Translated from the Unpointed Hebrew Text of the Book of Genesis;

Showing the General Scientific Accuracy of the Cosmogony of Moses and the Philosophy of Creation.

By H. F. A. Pratt. [With the Text of Genesis I-ii. 4, and with an Appendix Containing Genesis Ii. 5-iii.]

And he is existing a weaving- knitting ערב and he is existing a plowing-a taking care of בּקר--a first time 1:5 or

And he is existing a giving surety-pledging ערב and he is existing a looking after בּקר--a first time 1:5 or

And it existed when light begins to fade (evening) ערב and it existed when light begins to appear (morning) בּקר, daylight-day-time, a first – a unitifying. 1:5

The arrival of daylight is the arrival of the time to work. Deity carried out its service to form the earth-land and the sky-heaven during the day-dayligh-timet. Apparently this "day" is what happened previously, the calling of light, a day. At this "day-time" he said, "It is becoming light..." Then he considered, observed the light and named it day. How long was deity on the surface of the earth-land before he made that observation? Conversely the time of darkness when there could be no work was called "Night."

"Occupying land involves presence and naming it, imprinting it with the identity of the community in its particular language. Thus the Gitskan and Nisga’a peoples of Canada’s Pacific coast take possession of a particular tract of land by ‘walking the land’ and giving names to its mountains, rivers and streams, lakes. ‘I have taken this river to be mine alone’, "
______________________

And Deity spoke, “Atmospheric vault was existing--will exist in between the waters,” it happened.
He made a distinction between those waters from those waters. 1:6
As is observed today there is a difference between the water in the atmosphere--it is suspended as vapor and that on the earth-land is liquid, snow or ice. The energy from the sun is required to start the hydrologic cycle. Light broke through first and then evaporation and condensation began in the way we know now.

______________________

Deity fashioned-made the atmospheric vault and he caused a distinction to be made between the waters under the atmospheric vault and the waters in the atmospheric vault, and it existed so. 1:7
And Deity named the atmospheric vault-”Heavens-Sky.”
Naming expressed ownership. This first chapter of Genesis showed the ownership of the earth-land and all living creatures belonged to Deity.
______________________

And he is existing a weaving- knitting ערב and he is existing a plowing-a taking care of בּקר--a first time 1:5 or

And he is existing a giving surety-pledging ערב and he is existing a looking after בּקר--a first time 1:5 or

And it existed when light begins to fade (evening) and it existed when light begins to appear (morning), daylight-day-time, a second–again . 1:8

Might it be that Deity is reporting to Moses that during a period of work (daylight) He made some administrative decisions and executed some administrate actions that set into motion changes in the heaven-sky and earth-land environment. Deity does not explain the physical mechanism by which these changes were brought.
Nevertheless, Deity worked during a daylight period. It would seem that that day was measured from the location that would later be known as the fertile crescent. Since this history is recounted from the standpoint of Moses and the Hebrews of his time and how they were part of the story, they and their location would be the focal point.
It would not be necessary that these days-daylights are 24 hour periods that follow immediately one after the other. But a recounting of times of progressive changes that Deity inaugurated to direct the direction of the early earth's history to reach a pre-determined objective.

Looking at ערב as knitting and or pledging we are forced to contemplate the difference that might be implied for a progressively more involved and complicated system being put together. Deity was involved with taking a chaotic unordered cosmos and knitting-weaving it into a greater level of orderliness. From this there was a period of בּקר plowing-caring until it was ready for another advancement.
______________________

And Deity spoke, “The water will be gathered together under the atmosphere, towards one place, and the dry will become visible,” it became so. 1:9

water will be gathered--Based upon the grammar of קָוָה qavah, this is imperfect passive, meaning that it is an unfinished action. Three ways to translate it are:

The water will be gathered
The water was being gathered
The water is being gathered

So is Deity causing the gathering or is he observing and remarking on it? Or is it both?
will become visible--רָאָה râʼâh imperfect passive, meaning that is an unfinished action. Three ways to translate it are:

dry will become visible
dry was becoming visible
dry is being gathered

Again it is asked is Deity causing the becoming visible or is he merely observing and remarking on it? Or is it both?
______________________

Deity named dry-”Land-Earth,” and the gathering together of the water he named-”Seas.” And Deity saw that functional. 1:10

The act of naming is again a statement of possession. Deity possesses the Land-Earth and the Seas. Deity observed that the separation of sea and dry was functional. It was ready for the next step in the organization of an environment fit for mankind.

______________________

And Deity spoke, “The land-earth will be sprouted; vegetation, grass, scattering seeds, sowing, tree making offspring to form which its seed on the land,” it was so. 1:11

will be sprouted--דָּשָׁא dâshâʼ an imperfect causative verb form. An unfinished action being caused to happen. Three ways to translate it are:

land-earth will be caused to sprout
land-earth was being caused to sprout
land-earth is being caused to sprout

We must assume that Deity having spoken was the instigator of the sprouting.
______________________

And it brought forth grass, herbage scattering seed, sowing in accordance to its form and tree forming offspring, Deity saw that functional-valuable. 1:12

The land-earth "responded" by causing to sprout grass and trees with offspring according to the parents' kind or species. How did the land-earth accomplish this? Moses does not give the details of the mechanics of the earth's ability to do this. Was it the filling of niches by genetic manipulation? Obviously sexual reproduction was involved because there were seeds. We know that genetic diversity and change is facilitated by sexual reproduction.

There were many types of grasses and shrubs and trees. Where does one species begin and another end? Did these all spring into existence in the span of a thought or was there a long slow change while different species developed.

Perhaps the land-earth with its many unfilled niches was the "force" that provided the plants a form mold themselves into and thus to fill those many "open" spaces. These were invaded by the plants that were there and were brought forth-fashioned by the "land-earth" in ways that caused them to change over time. Deity set in motion this ability for the plant life to change over time to adapt to the land and in one way of thinking, the land brought forth the plants in their different adaptations.

Deity saw the functionality of seed as a means of spreading and filling the environmental niches that were there.

Seeds also implies sexual reproduction which is a quicker way to introduce change into the offspring.

And he is existing a weaving- knitting ערב and he is existing a plowing-a taking care of בּקר--a first time 1:13 or

And he is existing a giving surety-pledging ערב and he is existing a looking after בּקר--a first time 1:13 or

And it existed when light begins to fade (evening) and it existed when light begins to appear (morning), daylight-day-time, a third time. 1:13

Once again there was a change in the focus of the land-earth being made habitable. The work day ended and the next began.
______________________

And Deity spoke, “Lights in heavenly atmospheric vault existing to make a distinction between the Day and between the Night,” and they existed a distinguishing mark and for sacred seasons and for day and years. 1:14

And they existed for lights in vault of the heavens-skies to cause light on the land-earth, and it existed as follows: 1:15 And Deity appointed two lights, the great ones, the great light a ruler of day and the small light a ruler of the night and the stars. 1:16 And Deity ascribed, to them in atmospheric vault of visible heavens-skies to shine over the land-earth, 1:17 to represent in day and in night to make a distinction between daylight and between darkness and Deity saw as functional-valuable. 1:18

Read in this fashion, again we see the Deity giving a description of something and not necessarily calling forth into existence the sun and moon. He might in fact be setting out the guidelines for the use of those lights. They are cyclical markers, reminders of the sacred seasons and the passing of the years.

______________________

And Deity spoke, “They will be swarming-multiplying waters, swarmer-multiplier willful creatures and flyer it will fly over the land and on the faces of the atmospheric vault of the heavens-skies.” 1:20

Deity created-fashioned the large crocodile and all breathing willful creatures that slithers-herds which multiplied the waters according to form and all flying to form, Deity will see, that functional. 1:21 And Deity caused them to prosper by saying, “You must be fruitful and you must increase, you must fill the waters in the seas and the flyer he must increase in the land.” 1:22

To multiply is to increase in numbers and to diversify in types. Deity commanded or foresaw that the creatures would not only become numerous but their types and forms would diversify according to the niche they found to fill.
______________________

And it was a weaving-knitting and it was a ploughing-taking care of, a fifth time. 1:23

______________________

And Deity spoke, “The land-earth will cause the willful living ones to come out according to forms; animal, slithering-herding thing, living ones of land-earth, according to its forms it will become in this manner. 1:24

Deity called for the land-earth to cause the "willful living ones" to come into being. Since mankind is one of those it is at this time that Adam-Humanity came into being.

This is a pivotal point in the creation narrative, because here, at this time, the sentient beings we call hominids are existing. Perhaps Neanderthal, Homo-sapiens and Denisovans lived together at one time or another. They might be considered to be of the same type of willful living ones that Deity created-called forth from the land. Out of this epoch emerged one of the three with the genetic makeup of the other (at least) two willful living ones that Deity foresaw or called forth. In time Deity made a pledge to prepare-appoint the Adam-Human as his own likeness and image in the land-earth.

This being the case there are no contradiction between this "creation" account and the one to come in Genesis chapter 2. Chapter two which we will deal with in another post--will give an account of the preparing and appointing of Adam-Human to his role as image and likeness of Deity.

______________________

Deity fashioned-prepared the living ones of the land-earth according to its forms and the beasts according to its forms and all, all moving-herding things of the ground according to its forms and Deity observed that functional. 1:25

A question that might be considered is, "Is Deity preparing-appointing those living ones that inhabit the land-earth along with and for the benefit of Adam-Humanity?" Perhaps those beasts that are "domesticated" were the ones that Deity has fashioned to become the functional cattle that Adam-Humanity needed to survive.

______________________

And Deity spoke, “We will fashion-prepare-(appoint) Adam-Humanity in our image and our likeness. And they will take-harvest fish of the sea and flyer of heavens and in the beasts in all the land-earth and in every moving one, the one moving on the land-earth.” 1:26

There were then a large number of "willful living ones" that were inhabiting the land-earth. There numbers of these beings that were filling the land and their interactions probably would have been more numerous that we can tell from fossilized records. Certainly it appears that the interbreeding of these groups would indicate a great similarity in physical characteristics and genetic compatablitiy.

Deity appointed Adam from all the willful living ones to be in his image and likeness. In that image-likeness he was granted the right to harvest those of the "lower" live forms that he needed.

"רָדָה - to take, to take away- applied to the gathering of honey..."

Page 723

Obviously this changes a lot of "theology." If true men were already given the right to "kill and eat" the animals, fowl and fish they needed. The belief that man was not permitted to kill animals, fowl and fish before the flood is almost universal in the present Judeo-Christian teachings. But, he was given dominion over those very beings in Genesis 1:26. The question that needs to be considered is why not accept that רָדָה radah means to "take" as in harvest?
______________________

And Deity created-fashioned the Adam-Humanity in his image, in image of Deity he created-fashioned them, a male and a female he created-fashioned them. 1:27

Deity fashioned the Adam-Humanity to be conformed to his image and not just the male of the species but the female as well was made to conform to the image of Deity. Together they were fashioned-formed, 'educated.'

At this time we are seeing what will come in the next chapter. This was Deity's design at the very beginning, that both the man and the woman would be fashioned in Deity's image.
______________________

And Deity blessed them,

Deity not only blessed them but it is intensified and might be read as he caused them 'to be a blessing.'
______________________

Deity spoke to them, “You must bear fruit, you must grow great, you must consecrate the land-earth, you must bring it under control, you must harvest in fish of the sea and in flyer of the atmosphere and in all living ones that move about on the land.” 1:28

Deity commanded them to consecrate the land-earth. Set it apart. This implies a type of holy land-earth where Deity is the only Deity.

______________________

And Deity spoke. “Look, I gave to you all green plants seeding seed, that on surface of all the land and all of the tree which in it fruit of tree seeding, see, for you it will be for food.” 1:29

Now Deity also gives the plants as food to the Adam-Human. Not only were the animals given in verse 26 but extends that permission and authorization to eat plants as well.

______________________

“And to every living thing of the land and to every winged of the atmosphere and for every moving-herding one on the land which in him willful life, every green herbage for food,” and it was so. And Deity saw all that he fashioned-made and look, very functional-valuable. 1:30

Not only to the human-Adam but to the animal kingdom as well. Deity extends use of these areas to those who are in his realm and under his care.

Contradictory Statements of Jesus?

2012-08-18T08:27:00.002-07:00

Mat 7:1 KJV - Judge not, that ye be not judged.

JWET You must not separate-judge in that point that you might not be separated-judged.

Jhn 7:24 KJV - Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

JWET You must not separate-judge concerning dignity/position, on the other hand of the keeping of the laws, a separation-judgment you must separate-judge.

Is Jesus contradicting himself? If He is, does this bring everything he has to say into disrepute? How is this to be synchronized?

Most of the discussions concerning “judge not” are centered around the idea that someone else does not have the “right” to judge me. If you do judge me then you are evil. Or you will be judged and you don't want that do you? This actually is a “self-defense” strategy to divert negative judgment away from the culprit and redirect it towards the “prosecution.” So what is Jesus saying?

Matthew records Jesus as saying, “Judge not, that ye be not judged” or “You must not judge in that point, so that you might not be judged in that point.” The chapter divisions lead some to believe that Jesus is beginning a new subject on judging, when in fact he is wrapping up and summarizing the preceding two chapters' points.

Chapters 5&6 are how to make proper judgments! Matthew 5:3, “Those blessed poor with the Spirit, that theirs is the kingdom of heaven.^JWET” Jesus is instructing his listeners to make a proper separation between those who are happy and inheritors of kingdom of heaven and those who make that claim but are not blessed. 5:4 “Those blessed mourners, in that they will be called alongside.^JWET” Jesus continues in this same fashion drawing a sharp contrast between the erroneously accepted judgements of the day and those that should be made. 5:13 Jesus now says that you, the persecuted ones, are salt. It is not those living in relaxed affluence that are to be regarded as influencers of this world, instead the poor mourning persecuted prophets are the salt.

5:21&22 begin a series of contrasting statements, “You have heard that...” and “But I say to you...” We have learned what some have taught as truth but Jesus corrects that untruth with a proper judgement. Make Jesus' type of judgment and you won't go wrong.

5:48 Be a grown up, just like God.

Chapter 6 Jesus is saying don't take your lead from hypocrites who give alms publicly, pray loudly, amass earthly fortunes, try to serve the world and God at the same time, and seek after their own kingdoms before God's. Then Jesus gets to the conclusion: You must not judge in that point, that you might not be judged ^JWET. If you judge like a hypocrite you will be judged like the hypocrite. If you judge like Jesus, you will be making proper judgments.

So we see that John 7:24 You must not judge concerning dignity/position, on the other hand of the keeping of the laws, this judgment you must judge ^JWET is not a contradiction but the restatement of Matthew 7:1. Jesus doesn't contradict himself but he does contradict those who say, “You can't judge me.”

I can certainly make a judgment of how well you and I are keeping God's requirements. In doing so I rightly separate between good and bad, false teacher and true teacher, false teaching and true teaching, a false holiness and true holiness, and the list goes on.

Don't be confused, there are false judgments and true judgments. Grown up and be like God!

Is Adam our Federal Head?

2011-01-01T07:38:00.000-08:00

“Theology” is obviously driven by translation. In the following translation you will see that I chose to translate ἁμαρτία, κόσμον and θάνατος in ways that I believe more accurately reflect what Paul wrote to the Romans. Remembering that Rome was equivalent to our own hyper-political and corrupt Washington, D. C., those three words would have been understood as “legal technicalities.” 

ἁμαρτία hamartia—failure 
κόσμον kosmon—world-order [either legalities and/or customs] 
• θάνατος thanatos—death penalty pronounced by a judge

Romans 5:12 because of this, as it were, because of one human, the failure, in regards to the world order, came before the court, and because of the failure, the death-penalty also in this manner to all humanity, the death penalty, went abroad, upon this thing, everyone has failed. JWET

This verse, as can be seen does not speak of a “federal head” or even a “corporate head.” But as a result of Adam and Eve the world-order that had been established by God was disrupted. The miscreants were judged and pronounced guilty. Following the judgment came the penalty phase where “death” was pronounced. Therefore it can be seen that anyone who “fails” is under the death penalty. This is validated by Scripture itself—each person will judged for what they do—Romans 2:6. As a final thought, Theology also influences translation.

Legalism

2010-12-18T08:53:00.000-08:00

The issue is the difference between salvation and faithfulness.

Once a person is condemned as a sinner–he has sinned–he falls under the penalty of the law which is the death penalty. How are they then saved from that penalty?

The answer is that it is only by the grace of God–the favor of God–that we are saved. The condition of that grace being extended is by the “pistis” “assurance of good faith” that the supplicant makes to the court of God.

If we had been completely faithful in the beginning, there would have been no need for grace or favor of God. We would not have needed a Savior. However, as St. Paul states, “none has lived up to God’s expectations of faithfulness.” Therefore we need a savior.

Having sinned we cannot “unsin” ourselves by good works. We remain under the original death penalty until it is taken care of.

God taking care of the penalty by His grace–takes our pledge of fealty–faithfulness–to Him as a guarantee. If we fail in our faithfulness to His expectation again, “I would that you sin not,” we are once again in danger of coming under the penalty. Jesus told the woman in adultery to go and stop sinning unless another bad thing comes on her.

Our faithfulness in keeping God’s expectation is wrongly call salvation by works. Once we have had our position with God reestablished (saved), we are expected to keep the King’s law.

No salvation by works, just faithfully keeping the will of God after His mercy is given to us.

Romans 2:21-24

2010-11-09T14:16:00.000-08:00

…the one declaring not to steal, you are stealing. ²²The one saying not to worship idolatrously you are worshipping idolatrously, the one feeling a loathing towards those images you are stealing sacred property. ²³In that law you are boasting, because of the illusion of the Law of God, you are disfranchising. ²⁴For because of you the name of God is slandered by the peoples…^{Romans 2:21-24 JWET}

Aristotle deals with the same issue 400 years before Paul in Rhetoric …But since a man, while admitting the fact,  often denies the description of the charge or the point on which it turns—for instance, admits that he took something, but did not steal it; that he was the first to strike, but committed no outrage; that he had relations, but did not commit adultery, with a woman; or that he stole something but was not guilty of sacrilege, since the object in question was not consecrated…

Burning the Koran

2010-09-18T08:05:00.000-07:00

The advantage of commenting this far down the line is that I get to synthesize and remark on what has been said.

1. I want to ask what would have been communicated if a Koran had been burned.

2. And secondly, what has been communicated now that it wasn’t burned by Pastor?

It would have shown that Pastor and his congregation had a power over and a contempt for the Koran and the Muslim people. In some circles this is called a “power encounter.” In his mind this would have demonstrated the ascendancy of Christianity and the U.S. bill of rights and the inferiority of Sharia Law and Islam.

The answer to the second question should now be evident. Sharia Law and Islam have won the encounter and Christianity along with the bill of rights has been shown to be weak and morally inferior.

From the Western prospective this might not be obvious. But Islam defined the confrontation in such a way that with either outcome they had a “recruiting tool.”

If the Koran was burned it would be a tool to show that the “infidels” were waging war on Islam.
When it wasn’t burned, it proved the divine favor of Allah and validated the call to “jihad.”

I am not able to comment on the mental acuity of Pastor, but I’m sure he had no idea that this would garner such attention. I do think that he was used as a dupe. My proof? This past week in East Lansing, Michigan a Koran was burnt and thrown into the yard of an Islamic center. Where is the worldwide Muslim outrage? It doesn’t suit their purposes. For the moment they have gained what they want. They caused the “Great Satan” to back down. This coup will be exploited, have no doubt.

In my years of living in a predominantly Islamic country in West Africa, I have seen that a “radical Islamist” is easily created from “nominal Muslims” through intimidation. Even the most casual practitioner becomes violent when threatened in some way by the a radical Muslim extremists promising to harm them or their families.

However, take a Christian acting radically and the casual practitioner of Christianity will turn on him and eat him for lunch.

The Politics of Biblical Submission

2010-09-16T10:36:00.000-07:00

Is it possible that “political expediency” dictates our understanding of God’s instructions concerning submission?

Submission implies an authority to which you must submit. If you are the one in authority it is a prerequisite that someone is submitted to you. After all, “A leader without any followers is just a guy taking a walk.”^Unknown A leader is someone who: Goes before, Makes the hard decisions, Takes things in hand, Has his eye on the situation. All of these snippets remind me of another quote, “…the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”^Serpent

But you say, “Doesn’t the Bible teach that we are to submit to the authority that God has put over us?”

A side note: What is learned in Church about “authority/submission” directly depends upon the translation of the Bible and thus indirectly upon the translation committee’s theology, politics and culture.

Our effort will be to examine several passages and how they relate to “biblical authority and submission.”

Case study #1

In this examination of Holy Scripture we will attempt to examine the Master’s command concerning submission to “worldly” authority.

^{1Peter 2:13}Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, ¹⁴or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. ¹⁵For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.
^NIV

Or a better translation:

^{1 Peter 2:13}You must be associated with every human establishment for the sake of the Lord, whether with a king as being elevated ¹⁴ or with leaders, as for His sake they being sent, avenging those doing ill but praising ones exerting beneficent influence. ¹⁵That in this way it is the will of God, exerting beneficent influence to restrain the ignorance of those thoughtless men. ^JWET

It is important to set the context as Peter’s letter. He begins by identifying the recipients as those who belong to God-the Master of all. God has given to us a “new birth” (1:3) through His pleasure as Monarch. This mercy is based on Christ’s resurrection from the dead. Therefore as “sons” we have both obligations and privileges.

Another part of this context is the “Roman World.” The “father” or paterfamilias held a position both cultural and legal in Roman society that has no equivalent in Western societies. There was only one “father of the family” per “gens” or what might be called a clan.

The paterfamilias had the “power-authority” over the family. He was head of all slaves, servants and members of the extended family. This power was a near absolute authority over those in his gens and he was also responsible for the good order of the family and liable for the wrongs the family members committed.

In the context of 1 Peter, the “sons of God” only were submitted to God and not to any other paterfamilias! But the permission to associate with other “families” was permitted for the purpose of the Paterfamilias.

^{1 Peter 1:16}…for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."^NIV What some might misconstrue as an injunction against any association with the ungodly, is explained by 1 Peter 2:13-15 JWET. Be holy but be associated with those of other gens in order to influence for your Paterfamilias-God.

Are there any examples of this concept in the Old Testament? The answer is yes.

1. Daniel

a. Nebuchadnezzar

b. Belshazzar

c. Darius

2. Esther

a. Ahasuerus

Daniel was successful with two out of three kings in influencing them for the good. We know that he did not submit when it was contrary to his Paterfamilias-God. Esther also influenced the king for the salvation of her people.

Is there anything detrimental in teaching that we are to submit to the rulers of this world?

1. The answer is definitely.

a. The harm is a “confusion” of allegiance. I am “always” submitted to my paterfamilias never to another.

b. I am hindered in my influence of the “political” system when I think that I am to submit to it instead of associating with it for God's purpose.

It is time to associate to influence for “good.” Think about it.

We will deal with “women submit to men” in another place.

St. Paul's opinion of himself...

2010-09-15T05:33:00.000-07:00

What did Saint Paul think of himself?

^{Romans 1:1}Tiny, a slave of Anointed Savior, assigned an ambassador…^JWET

Paulus is Roman for: insignificant, small, least
A slave—a person of no status in the Roman world. They had no right whatsoever. What ever the master wanted done to or with the slave was their right. A slave was considered a “tool” to be used up as desired.

Acts 19 Paul's effect on Ephesus

2010-09-13T04:59:00.000-07:00

Paul’s effect on one city (Ephesus);

In the space of two years he:

§ started people “talking in tongues”

§ caused an uproar in the Jewish synagogue

§ was imitated by seven exorcists who were cast out by demons

§ allowed his converts to publicly denounce the evils of the religion of Ephesus

§ permitted the believers to burn religious texts.

The end result was a citywide riot.

See Acts 19

Matthew 5:43-45

2010-09-08T15:19:00.000-07:00

You heard, because it has been said, “You will greet with affection your near one, also you will not put up with the one alienated from you.”

But I, I am saying to you, “You must entreat the ones hateful to you, even you yourselves must offer prayers on behalf of the ones driving you away. (Just as you yourselves came to be sons of your Father, the One in exalted places, in that the light originates from Him, as regards worthless ones and capable ones, even it is bathing righteous ones and unrighteous ones. For if haply you might have welcomed affectionately those affectionately welcoming you, what recompenses are withheld you, even the custom collectors this thing itself they are doing. And if you yourselves might have kissed and embraced your kinsmen above all others, what beyond the ordinary you are doing? Not even the outsiders are doing this thing.) You yourselves will then exist, you, fully without spot or blemish as your Father the Exalted One is fully without spot or blemish.” ^(JWET)

The Raging Battle

2010-09-04T05:41:00.000-07:00

Culture is the sum total of rules and regulation that govern a society in its internal and external interactions. It tells us what is good and bad, beautiful and ugly, right and wrong.

So, when we speak of a "Christian culture" we are speaking of something that "tells us what is good and bad, beautiful and ugly. right and wrong." But we have to hesitate when we encounter some issues that are a matter of our own personal taste. For example: "Is limburger cheese good or bad?" or "Is your neighbor beautiful/handsome or ugly?" or "Is it right to paint you house neon pink?"

All three of these questions probably would provoke violent debates between "Christians." From these three we would begin to eliminate some things that being a "Christians" has no say over. But even if all American "Christians" could agree on what makes a "Christian Culture" undoubtedly there would not be agreement with African "Christians" on what makes a "Christian Culture." Why? Because the standard by which an item-action-idea is judged as good/bad, beautiful/ugly or right/wrong cannot be exactly agreed upon.

Some "Christians" might say the standard is: "The Bible-The Word of God" or "The Bible + Tradition of the Church", some say "The Bible + Science", there are even those who say "The King James Version of the Bible." Where is truth found? How are the cultures of the world to be judged equitably? It has even been suggested that each culture is the its own judge. For “Trekkies” this is also known as “The Star-Trek Prime Directive.”

My position is that God has revealed His estimation of what is morally right/wrong, good/bad and beautiful/ugly. His baseline of morality is bound up in those things delivered by His messengers in the Old and New Testament.

At this point it might be well to state that every culture has both Good/Right/Beautiful parts and each and every one has Bad/Wrong/Ugly aspects. And, that each culture has a third “None of the Above” category that does not fall into either of those other two niches. Said in another way, “All cultures have aspects that the Bible commends, aspects that it condemns and aspects that are neither commendable nor condemnatory.”

To throw in one more curve ball, “Our understanding of what the Bible is telling us about our culture is understood through the filter of our culture.”

The Bible is supposed to speak to my culture, while at the same time my culture influences how I understand what the Bible is saying.

How do we unravel this difficult knot that seems to have no end.

The purpose of the Bible is to communicate God’s thoughts to mankind. God is the perfect communicator because He knows which words and phrases will accurately convey His thoughts to those men who originally read or heard His words. What about us? We live in a different time, in a different culture and speak a different language. How can we expect to understand God’s communication to the past, today?

Let us look at an example to see how this might have an influence on our understanding of God’s message to us. Following are three translations of a well-known portion of Paul the Apostle’s letter to the Ephesians:

\

Ephesians 6:12

because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places;^(YLT)

This translation in the Young’s Literal Translation gives the correct word order of what God communicated to Paul to write in Greek—blood and flesh.

\

Ephesians 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.^(NASB)

The New American Standard Bible translation illustrates the common understanding of what God was communicating to His church. From this, the most common understanding in Evangelical circles emphasizes the struggle that Believers are engaged in is with “spiritual beings” as contrasting to a conflict with “earthly” rulers. It is assumed that Paul goofed-up and what he intended to write was flesh and blood, so the translator “corrected” the word order from blood and flesh to flesh and blood.

\

Ephesians 6:12

So that, it is not for us the battling in reference to bloodlines even tearing the body, on the other hand with a view to the empires, with a view to the magistrates, with a view to the emperors in ignorance of this One (with a view to the inflated things of the wickedness in high favor).^(JWET)

In this translation, Joe attempts to keep the word order along with the cultural understanding of the terms through which God was communicating to the 1^st century in a way that carries His meaning so that it imparts the same thing to us. But as can quickly be seen, it turns what is universally understood on its head.

Finally, how do we know which to take as the communication that God intends? The simplest way is to examine the context of the entire letter. It is very evident that God wants His people to understand that they are “one People.” There is no difference in His body between the Jewish and the Gentile believer! Therefore, any contention over the supremacy of “bloodline” which leads to the “tearing apart with sharp teeth” hopelessly distracts us from the real battle. The Battle is against those in positions of power, those trying to suppress the teaching of God and His Christ. Truly the conflict is directed at us from the “political” powers of this world.
“Yes Virginia there is a Satan.” But be aware that it was human organizations that took it upon themselves to forbid public expressions of “Christianity.” It was a woman who fought to remove prayer from public schools. It is politics that shuns any consideration of God’s laws in making rules that govern this world!

Is it time to recognize the forces that we are really struggling with?

John 16:7-16

2010-08-23T07:59:00.000-07:00

^{John 16:⁶But that these things I told you, your heart's grief filled.}

⁷Still I am at least telling the reality to you: It is a benefit to you that I am dying now, for if I might not die, the One called to aid will not walk with you, but if I be driven out I could dispatch Him on your behalf. ⁸And having arrived, that Person refutes the world-order

§ concerning failure-sin and

§ concerning righteousness-justice and

§ concerning judgment-separation.

⁹Concerning failure-sin,

certainly that because they are not putting faith in me. ¹⁰but

concerning righteousness-justice

in the presence of the Father I am being brought to the seat of judgment and you no longer observe me.

¹¹But concerning judgment-separation

in that the King of the universe this One He Himself has condemned.

¹²Besides I have too many things to say to you but you are not empowered to presently consider.

¹³But whenever He might arrive, that One the Spirit of Truth, He will lead you on your way with every truth, for He will not speak out of Himself (His own authority), on the other hand of all that He is hearing He will speak, even to the things to come He will carry back tidings to you.

¹⁴I am that One He will hold in honor, in that out from the One, Me, He Himself will obtain and He will carry back tidings to you. ¹⁵Everything, as much as the Father possesses, those things, because of this I said that out of the One, Me, He takes hold of and He will carry back tidings to you. ¹⁶A little and you will no longer behold me also once more a little and you will see me.

To Whom Should A Woman Submit?

2010-04-13T07:10:00.000-07:00

To whom should a woman submit?

Ephesians 5:21Submitting together in terror of Anointed One, 22the women with their own men thus to the Lord-Master, ²³with regard to the fact that a man is the source of the woman thus also the Anointed One source of the assembly, same a Savior of the body-group ²⁴but thus the assembly is associated with the Anointed One, in this way even the women with the men in everything. ²⁵(The men must greet with affection the women even as also the Anointed One greeted with affection the assembly, as He surrendered His own in place of her.) ²⁶Wherever she might be consecrated (purifying with the bath of the water) with a spoken word^Nu6:2. ²⁷There she might be brought forward, of one’s own accord absolutely, to the assembly (honored not having a moral blemish or pucker of anything of such) but there she might be a one devoted to God and a blameless one. ²⁸In this manner they are obligated (the men) to welcome affectionately their women like their bodies (the one treating with affection his woman is himself treating with affection). ²⁹For no one at any time his own flesh hated, but he is rearing and comforting it as even the Anointed One the assembly, ³⁰in that we are members of His body. ³¹Compared with this, he, a man, will leave behind the father and the mother, and he will cleave to the woman and they will be, the two into one body. ³²This is a great mystery, but I, I am speaking about Anointed One and about the assembly. (JWET)

After reading what the Apostle Paul says to the Ephesians, it is clear that he wants everyone to be submitted—to the Lord! Paul has been stressing the “oneness” of the body-No Jew and No Gentile. Both are one in the Lord. He continues the “oneness” theme by stressing that same unity of women and men. He goes on to say in verse 26 that a woman can consecrate herself to the Lord’s service and the church must accept that. His scriptural support comes from the Torah-Numbers chapter 2 concerning the Nazarite vow. If a woman had to be accepted as a Nazarite, she must be accepted as one dedicated in service to God just as a man!

Paul’s Letter to those of Magic City

Chapter 6

¹The young must give an ear to your ancestors in the Lord's presence. For it is a duty, ²”You must honor your father and mother,” which is a command (first one with a summons), ³in that fortunately for you, He might have been born and you yourself will be entering into a long lasting dwelling (besides the earth). ⁴Also, the fathers, you were not provoking to anger the youth but you were bringing them up from childhood by training and teaching even Master's warning.

⁵The subjects-slaves must give ear with the lords-masters (according to physical order) with fear and trembling in single-mindedness to the Anointed One ⁶not while being watched as man-pleasers but as citizens-slaves of Anointed One (ones doing the pleasure-will of the God of souls-lives) ⁷with devotion, being a slave-citizen even to the Lord-Master and not to men, ⁸having perceived that each one (if any good thing might be done) this thing he will gain from Lord-Master, either slave or freeman. ⁹Also the lords-masters, the things you must do in your name, ceasing from threats, having known that even of them and of you the Lord-Master is in heavens and a partiality exists not with Him.

¹⁰Any one remaining must be strengthened with Lord-Master and by His prevailing military force. ¹¹You yourselves must have put on the suit of armor from God towards the one to be made strong enough to have stayed the wiliness of the slanderer-Devil. ¹²So that, it is not for us the battling (in reference to bloodlines even tearing apart the body), but yet with a view to the empires, with a view to the magistrates, with a view to the emperors, from ignorance of this One (with a view to the inflated things of the wickedness in high favor). ¹³Because of this thing you must take up the suit of armor from God, so that you might have been made strong enough to have stood against (in the day) the wickedness even everything, having achieved—to have made to stand. ¹⁴You set in place then, having wrapped around the lower part of your back with truth also having put on the breastplate of the business of a judge ¹⁵and having bound the feet in readiness of the reward of good tidings of the peace ¹⁶with all, having taken up into your hands the shield of that thing entrusted, with it you will be equal (to every missile of the worthless one, the ones having been ignited) to extinguish, ¹⁷also the helmet of the deliverance you yourselves must offer and the short sword of the divine inspiration (this one is a saying of God). ¹⁸Because of every place of prayer and entreaty having been offered, prayers by every vital part with divine inspiration even as far as this having passed sleepless nights with every persistence and entreaty standing over every one devoted to God, ¹⁹even over me. There for me might be given a word with my frankness, out of my mouth with freedom of speech to make known the mystery of the good news.

²⁰Beyond this, I am to be the elder in a chain so that in it I might have spoken freely, thus, it is binding on me to have spoken. ²¹But, so that even you might have perceived these things, about me, any thing I am accomplishing, everything he will make known to you, Tchius, the beloved brother and trusted servant by Lord-Master. ²²He I dispatched to you, to this so that you might know these things about us, and he might have demanded your feelings.

²³Peace to the brothers and love in confidence of God Father and of Lord Savior Anointed One.
