In Genesis 1:11 God commanded the earth to bring forth "ets pri oseh pri", "tree that is a fruit and makes a fruit"

In Genesis 1:12 the earth brought forth "ets oseh pri", "tree that makes a fuit" and next it says that God saw that it was good.

Good = "tov", gematria 17.

The "tov" of Genesis 1:12 is the 153rd word from the beginning.

153 is triangle 17.

If the earth had brought forth "ets pri oseh pri" instead of "ets oseh pri", then the "tov" of Genesis 1:12 would have been the 154th word from the beginning.

And "hashishi", the last word of Genesis 1:31, would have been then the 435th word form the beginning, instead of the 434th (434 being gematria of "delet = door).

And "b'hibaram" in Genesis 2:4, the last word of the first story of creation, would have been then the 475th word from the beginning, instead of the 474th (474 being gematria of "daat = knowledge)

What now is "tree that is a fruit and makes a fruit", and what is "tree that makes a fruit"?

Have they anything to do with the trees of the second story of creation?

That you might think that the one is "the tree of life" and the other "the tree of knowledge of good and evil"?

I would think that "tree that is a fruit and makes a fruit" encompasses "tree that makes a fruit".

IOW "tree that is a fruit and makes a fruit" is both "tree that is a fruit and makes a fruit" and
"tree that makes a fruit".

So I would say that "tree that is a fruit and makes a fruit" coincides "the tree of life".

But what then is "the tree of knowledge"?

This calls for wisdom!

Genesis 2:8-9,

And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden from the east, and He placed there the man whom He had formed.
And the Lord God caused to sprout from the ground every tree pleasant to see and good to eat, and the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.

From the east = "mikedem"

In the midst of the garden = "b'toch hagan"

Question: How many trees were there, one or two?


Genesis 2:16-17,
And the Lord God commanded man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat. But of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it, for on the day that you eat thereof, you shall surely die."

Genesis 3:2-3,
And the woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat. But of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God said, "You shall not eat of it, and you shall not touch it, lest you die.'"

the tree that is in the midst of the garden = "haets ashet b'toch hagan".

Question: What tree was that?

Genesis 2:22-23,
Now the Lord God said, "Behold man has become like one of us, having the ability of knowing good and evil, and now, lest he stretch forth his hand and take also from the Tree of Life and eat and live forever." And the Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden, to till the soil, whence he had been taken.

also = "gam", which implies that they didn't eat yet from the tree of life.

That's mighty strange, since it seems that they did live already forever, only that they lost eternal life because of eating the forbidden fruit.

But how can you loose eternal life?

v.24,
And He drove the man out, and He stationed from the east of the Garden of Eden the cherubim and the blade of the revolving sword, to guard the way to the Tree of Life.

from east of the Garden of Eden -- "mikedem l'gan Eden" - which means that Eden is now in the west. Or not?

The woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. Gen3:3. (Compare w what God said..)

Many trees there I think: (peach, palm, walnut, cypress, etc.), but two (2) principal:

1. Tree of Knowledge IN MIDST..
2. Tree of Life (I wonder where?) Did Eve even know about it? :eek:

3. Isa61 reveals PEOPLE are "Trees of Righteousness", but some of them are 'barking up the wrong tree' -- right?:winking0071:

1. Tree of Knowledge IN MIDST..
2. Tree of Life (I wonder where?)


Gematria might be the clue,

Tree of life, "ets hachayim", counts 233
Tree of knowledge, "ets hadaat tov vara" counts 932

932 = 4 x 233

It makes think of a square, of which oneness is the very centre or inside.

Eating the forbidden fruit is taking the oneness away = placing oneself outside of it?



It is written "b'toch hagan", in the midst of the garden

"hagan" counts 58

(4 x 58) + 1 = 233 , gematria of "ets hachayim".

58 is also gematria of "chen", the favor that Noach found in the eyes of the Lord.

Genesis 2:17,
But of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it, for on the day that you eat thereof, you shall surely die."

on the day that you eat thereof= "b'yom achalcha mimmennu"

cf. Genesis 2:4,
These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, on the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.

on the day that the Lord God made = "b'yom asot hashem elohim"

Rashi:

This teaches you that they were all created on the first day (Gen. Rabbah 12:4).

Genesis 1:5,
And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night, and it was evening and it was morning, day one

day one = "yom echad"

Rashi:

According to the sequence of the language of the chapter, it should have been written, “the first day,” as it is written regarding the other days, “second, third, fourth.” Why did Scripture write“one” ? Because the Holy One, blessed be He, was the only one in His world, for the angels were not created until the second day. [i.e., יוֹם אֶחָד is understood as ‘the day of the only One’] So is it explained in Genesis Rabbah (3:8).

the day of the only One = "yom hayachid".

the Holy One, blessed be He = hashem = the Tetragrammaton hidden in teh initial letters of "yom hashishi vay'chulu hashamayim" (last two words of Genesis 1:31 and first two words of Genesis 2:1 "the sixth day and they were completed the heaven (...)"

So "yom echad" , day one, encomprises the seven days.

By eating the forbidden fruit the oneness was broken, in "this world" and "the world to come", at least in the perspective of mankind.

The letter "hey" of "hashishi" being extra (the other day-indications do without ) it seems that by eating the forbidden fruit this one letter became obscured, and a door became closed.

Tree of Degrees by Bob Smith of Foreman

Little by little we take the land,
Wondering how to understand.
Babes and youth and adults too,
Forks of life are sorting through.
Chewing the cud of what it means,
Swallowing knowledge like turnip greens.

Little by little we grow and store
How two and two add up to four.
Digesting all the relevant fact,
Trying to keep the train on track.
Washing down the bread with wine,
Brings elation every time!

Step by step the tree is bent,
Shaped by learning's pure cement.
Inclined up to the higher ground,
Washed ashore by Thinking's Sound.
Adding branches; some with fruit,
Settling down and taking root.

In time a haven for views to nest,
Little by Little comes the Rest..
Storms have altered our physique,
and by degrees we grow antique.
So we who once were just a seed,
Have now become a different breed! :yo:

We got a walnut- tree in our garden, and now is nut-season, nuts falling by thousands, uncountable like the stars of heaven.

Walnut is Hebrew "egoz", gematria 17, like of "tov", so it's only good, or even very good = "tov m'od" (the seventh and last "tov" of Genesis 1) , by the sages read as "tov mavet"= death is good.

The secret of the bible.

Song of Songs 6:11, "el ginnat egoz yaradti", I went down to the nut garden

English translators don't like "nut garden" http://biblehub.com/songs/6-11.htm

I am translating an article from German into English on the Kabbala, and several titles appear, transliterated from the Hebrew and then translated into German. They were written by Joseph ben Abraham Gikatilla, and include the "Sha'are zedek" (Gates of Justice/Righteousness), the "Sha'are orah" (Gates of Light), and the "Ginnat Egoz", for which I have the German "Nussgarten", which means *nut garden*. While this sounds ok in German, it is too close to nut house in English for me to use; however, I cannot find an English equivalent for the title (it appears to be the least popular of his books).

Latin for walnut is "glans Iovis" = the head of Jupiter's penis.

http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/glans

"egoz", like "luz" (another name for nut) ends with a "zayin", of which we saw that the original meaning is penis (and not weapon) :yo:

The kernel of the nut is edible, unlike the kernel of a prune, or of an olive.

Genesis 2:4 - Genesis 4:26 is like written in one breath, all the verses being connected by the consecutive "vav".


The formation of man (Genesis 2:7) being dependend on the mist (Hebrew "ed") of v.6
But also the planting of the garden (v.8) and the growing of the trees (v.9) are dependend on the "ed" of v.6


Without "ed" no tree of the field can be on the earth, and no herb of the field can grow, and no rain can fall upon the earth, and no man can work the soil.(v.5)

But also the eating of the forbidden fruit follows from the "ed" going up from the earth.
And also the expulsion from paradise and the killing of Abel.

"ed" is written "alef-dalet", "1-4", gematria 5, like the value of the letter "hey".

It incorporates already the possibility, or even the necessity, of sin.

Not Eating from the Tree of Knowledge is like the 2yr. old who doesn't know he's naked when he runs out into the street.. it's the INFANCY stage!

Gen4:26 "And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD".

Daniel's son of man in fact is son of Enosh, Bar-Ènash.

Genesis 5:9 has him father Kenan, name that is written as Cain, קַיִן, wis extra "nun" קֵינָן
so that you might think the meaning is the same: "I have acquired a man with the Lord." , קָנִיתִי אִישׁ אֶת יְהֹוָה, "kaniti ish et hashem"

You might think that "et" before "hashem" means profanation of God, just like the generation of Enosh did, by calling by the name of the Lord.

I think Daniel might well have had such things in mind, since he also refers to the seventy seven times of Lamech (Daniel 9).
In Genesis 5 Lamech fathers Noach, the son of Adam and also of Enosh, the one to find favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Daniel 7:13,
and behold with the clouds of the heaven, one like a son of Enosh was coming,

might refer to the "ed", mist, of Genesis 2:6,

Rashi:

And a mist ascended: Concerning the creation of man, He brought up the [waters of the] deep and watered the clouds to soak the earth, and man was created; like the baker, who puts water [into the flour] and afterwards kneads the dough. Here too, “He watered,” and afterwards, “He formed” [man]. — [from Exod. Rabbah 30:113; Pirkei d’Rabbi Eliezer, ch. 5]

Genesis 2:5,

Now no bush of the field was yet on the earth, neither did any herb of the field yet grow, because the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the soil.

bush = "siach", can also mean meditation, speech. Gematria 318, same as of the name Eliezer, coinciding the number 318 trained servants with whom Abraham gained victory over the four kings in favor of the five.

See the topic -The-burning-bush (http://www.biblewheel.com/forum/showthread.php?4899-The-burning-bush)


not yet = "terem"

Rashi:

Every טֶרֶם in Scripture has the meaning of “not yet,” and it does not mean“before,” and it cannot be made into a verb form, to say הִטְרִים, as one says הִקְדִּים

Which means that there was no time until the "ed", mist, of Genesis 2:6 ascended from the earth, no growth.

Rashi:

neither did any herb of the field yet grow: [I.e.,] had not yet grown. And on the third [day], where it is written: “Let the earth bring forth,” they [the plants] had not yet emerged, but they stood at the entrance of the ground until the sixth day.

until the sixth day = "ad yom shishi", which intimates that the letter "hey" that was added to "shishi" in Genesis 1:31 coincides the "ed" ("1-4", gematria 5).


(let him that readeth understand:) the gematria of "yom shishi" is 666. :eek:

on the third [day], i.e. the day on which the earth brought forth "ets oseh pri" instead of "ets pri oseh pri".

So it was not the "ets pri oseh pri" that stood at the entrance of the ground until the sixth day, but the "ets oseh pri".

That must be why Genesis 1:31,
And God saw all that He had made, and behold it was very good

very good = "tov m'od", must refer to the "tov" of Genesis 1:12, the 153rd word form the beginning.

Time only began with Adam's sin. That's also why Jewish new year is coincides the sixth day of creation. Year = "shanah" from verb "shanah"= to repeat, do again.

That the letter "alef" in the "ed" stands for the oneness of the four might be also clear from Genesis 2:10-14,

And a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it separated and became four heads. The name of the one is Pishon (...)And the name of the second river is Gihon(...)And the name of the third river is Tigris(...) and the fourth river that is the Euphrates.

The same you have with day one and the seven days,

Genesis 1:5 has: "and it was evening and it was morning, day one", while with the other days it says: "second day", "third day", "fourth day", "fifth day", "the sixth day", "the seventh day", which intimates that day one encompasses all seven days.

Same might be the case with the letters "alef" and "ayin"

http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Toldot-and-Happy-Birthday-Edition-from-Harav-Ginsburgh-and-Gal-Einai.html?soid=1102268112625&aid=CXmymbJIllc


"We know that there is a special relationship between the words "light" (אוֹר ) and "skin" (עוֹר ), especially in relation to the garments of skin God made Adam and Eve, given that the letters א and ע have special relationship between them (א is the inner light of the letter ע). This special relationship can also be seen numerically, because both "light" and "skin" have a very large common denominator, 69. "Light," 207 is 3 times 69. "Skin," 276, is 4 times 69."

"alef" (= 1) is the inner light of the letter "ayin" (= 70) -- Which might be also expressed by "I am the Alpha and the Omega". I bet so :yo: "ayin" means eye, like Greek "omikron" (little eye) and "omega" (great eye). In Greek alphabet the "omikron" stands on the place of "ayin" (in Hebrew alphabet) .

Genesis 3:23, And the Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden, to till the soil, whence he had been taken.


which intimates that indeed the outside world (= the world of time and space that is subject to scientific research), is determined by the number four.

River = "nahar".
Mountain = "har".

So you can see the river as a flowing mountain, where mountain stands for mystery. In Dutch and German there is close connection: Mountian = Berg. To hide = verbergen, Mystery = Verborgenheid (Verborgenheit).

The letter "dalet", fourth letter, has numerical value four.

The meaning of "dalet" is door, "delet", numerical value of which is 434.

The first chapter of Genesis is written with 434 words.

"hashishi" (the sixth) being the 434th ( and last) word, the letter "hey" of which seeming to be somewhat superfluous, since the other day-indications do without a "hey". But with "hey"the name of God appears to be hidden in the initial letters of "yom hashishi vay'chulu hashamayim", thus forming the entrance of Sabath,

So it seems that the letter "hey" in "hashishi" indeed is the quintessential "ed".

And weird: If you leave out the letter "hey" from "hashishi" not only the name of God disappears, but you're left with "yom shishi" of which the numerical value is 666 (10+6+40+300+300+10).

Genesis 2:10,

And he said, "I heard Your voice the garden, and I was afraid because I am naked; so I hid."

because I am naked = "ki eirom anochi" ; LXX has: ὅτι γυμνός εἰμι

I thought John 21:7 might allude to this same state of being:

Σίμων οὖν Πέτρος, ἀκούσας ὅτι ὁ κύριός ἐστιν, τὸν ἐπενδύτην διεζώσατο, ἦν γὰρ γυμνός, καὶ ἔβαλεν ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν:

Since this is about the catch of the 153 large fish; which we saw has to do with the original sin, of which God saw that it was good.

In Genesis 2:10 for the first time "anochi" (= I )appears.

You might think that as a result of eating the forbidden fruit Adam became aware of his ego. I think so. LXX doesn't translate it well, it should have added "ego": ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι γυμνός

"I am naked" is not a false statement or a lie. Even with clothes on I am naked (the I is naked).

You might think it is the divine knowledge the snake promised Eve: For God knows that on the day that you eat thereof, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

I also think that everywhere John has ἐγώ εἰμι it refers to the "anochi" of Genesis 3:10, like also Exodus 20:2, "anochi hashem" = I am the Lord.

and more:

I do think the I, ego, is neuter, i.e. both male and female.

"ani hu" = I am That (and not: I am HE).

And He (Yehoshua) took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”

And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.”

Then Yehoshua laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.

Ah Mahn!

Bread the product of sowing, ripening, reaping, threshing, grinding, kneeding, baking. Want it SLICED, or maybe TOASTED?

1Cor10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
