4. Generations and Ten Commandments
Starting point:
Man with a
decision as to
which path to
"covet".
Path of death: appointed (by selection) (curse, sin) as
mortal/incurable acquisition/nest,
Opened path of life: blessed God shall come down teaching/commencing that
his death shall bring the
despaired for comforter.

6. Trinity - four parts
The
Trinity appears to have
four parts.
Father
Son (king)
Holy Spirit
Son (messiah)
7. In the big inning
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
בראשיתבראאלהים … השמים … הארץ [he]
εν αρχη εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην [lxx]
… principio … [v]
… bigynnyng … [wy]
… begynnynge … [ty]
The phrase "
in the beginning" is
not when a baseball team scores a lot of runs.
Eve stole first.
Adam stole second.
Cain struck out Abel.
Then the Giants-Angels game was rained out (Nephilim and the Flood)
[sleeping student in class and basketball]
8. Other Biblical baseball
Noah took some bats in the Ark. Someone was always on deck.
Who did Noah have warming up in the bull pen?
Noah's game was rained out.
Rebekah took the pitcher to the well.
David struck out Goliath.
The prodigal son made a home run.
The Pharisees and Sadduces kept looking for (to steal) a sign.
Tennis: Joseph served in Pharaoh's court.
9. Genesis 1:1 Pi constant encoded
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
בראשית ברא אלהים … השמים … הארץ [he]
This formula using this verse in the original Hebrew computes to the following.
3.14155450783110E+0017
For comparison, the value of
π (pi) is approximately the following.
3.14159265358979E+0000
The significant digits (ignoring the exponent) are within
4 parts in
100,000, or
-0.0038%.
10. John 1:1 Exponential constant encoded
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [kjv]
εν αρχη ην ο λογος και ο λογος ην προς τον θεον και θεος ην ο λογος [gnt]
This formula using this verse in the original Greek computes to the following.
2.71831281219642E+0040
For comparison, the actual value of
e is approximately
2.71828182845905E+0000
The significant digits (ignoring the exponent) are within
3 parts in
100,000, or
-0.0031%.
[iota]
11. Encoded fundamental constants results
Here are some results. No other verses are close.
Genesis 1:1 and
π:
31415926... actual significant digits (of π)
31415545... approximation from Genesis 1:1 (000004 parts under)
John 1:1 and
e: (discovered in 1683)
27182818... actual significant digits (of e)
27183128... approximation from John 1:1 (000003 parts over)
Combined
π+
e:
58598745... actual sum (π+e)
58598673... approximation sum (000000.7 parts under using above scale)
Are these results significant or are they just a chance happening? That is left for you to decide.
12. Genesis 1:1-31 Pinning hopes on a tentative weak creation model
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
The story of the
creation week in Genesis appears to fit the TenWordPin model in some interesting ways. Let us look at each day of the creation week in Genesis 1.
For ten (10) elements, there are
10! (ten factorial) or
3,628,800 ways or
permutations of arranging those elements.
Some of these ways make more sense than other ways in terms of a model.
13. Bowling pin layout
The
tetractys pattern is the same as the
bowling pin layout, except that the base is at the back and the one pin is in the front.
The
TenWordPin model does not appear to need many of the interior transitions (vertical) from node to node. The sequential ordering is needed.
For
10 (ten) nodes or elements, there are
10! (ten factorial) or
3,628,800 ways or
permutations of arranging those elements. There are
45 possible edges so there are
245 or about
35,000,000,000,000 ways (subsets of edges) to include or exclude each edge in the model. Some models work better than other models.
14. Genesis 1:1 Beginning
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
בראשית ברא אלהים … השמים … הארץ [he]
εν αρχη εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην [lxx]
… principio … [v]
*H7225 רֵאשִׁיתּ (ray-sheeth') : from the same as H7218; the first, in place, time, order or rank (specifically, a firstfruit):--beginning, chief(-est), first(-fruits, part, time), principal thing.
The ancient Greek word
"ἀρχή" ≈ "beginning, origin, sovereignty, authority" and could be the end of a rope, stick, etc., or the corner of a sheet. In context, it could be a "
rule".
15. Genesis 1:1
KJV: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Hebrew: בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ׃
Greek: εν αρχη εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην
Latin: in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram
Wycliffe: In the bigynnyng God made of nouyt heuene and erthe.
Tyndale: In the begynnynge God created heaven and erth.
Luther: Am Anfang schuf Gott Himmel und Erde.
Russian: В начале сотворил Бог небо и землю.
Spanish: En el principio creó Dios los cielos y la tierra.
16. A recent new beginning
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
בראשיתבראאלהים … השמים … הארץ [he]
εν αρχη εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην [lxx]
… principio … [v]
… bigynnyng … [wy]
… begynnynge … [ty]
The word "
God" is taken to be the creator God of the universe and everything in it, as in Genesis 1:1.
The phrase "
a recent new beginning" uses words that, in
PIE (Proto Indo-European) languages, are related, as are all people going back in time.
17. The beginning and end of time
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
εν αρχη εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην [lxx]
Both the Bible and current scientific thought (since the end of the 19th century) agree that there is a
beginning to time and an
end to time as we know it. The two viewpoints disagree on the time scale.
Modern secular view: Due to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, about 1900, it was recognized that there must be a beginning of time and an end of time.
18. Genesis 1:1 Declarative models
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
בראשיתבראאלהים … השמים … הארץ [he]
εν αρχη εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην [lxx]
The "
declarative" model of creation is before Adam and Eve were created. The exact
way it happened
does not matter.
It does not make sense to try to map time and space of reality as is known now to the that period.
The "
historical" model of humanity started with Adam and continues to the present day. The exact
dates do not matter.
This is known more precisely since the start of written records and less precisely before then.
To show that the Bible is a true message from the creator, (fault-tolerant and error correcting) authentication codes are needed.
19. Nothing is something
Many people think of actions as having two choices, "
do it" or "
do not do it" - a logical fallacy called "
false dilemma". There is a third action that is at the heart of computer science.
1. "look and do"
2. "look not do"
3. "do not look" - it may not be necessary and, in general, "does not matter".
Efficient algorithms in computer science rely on knowing when to look and when not to look.
Good logical arguments do not include anything not relevant (needed) for the logical argument.
Doing nothing is something and can be important.
[Apostle John]
20. Days of creation
Let us see how well the creation story in Genesis 1 fits the TenWordPin model in general and the Ten Commandments TenWordPin model in particular.
21. Genesis 1:1 God created
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
בראשיתבראאלהים … השמים … הארץ [he]
εν αρχη εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην [lxx]
*H430 אֱלוֹהִים (el-o-heem') : plural of H433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:--angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
*H1254 בָּרָא (baw-raw') : a primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes):-- choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat).
The Hebrew word used here is in the
plural.
22. Genesis 1:1 God created
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
The
"God created" can be associated with the
"no other Gods" of the Ten Commandments and the
"new heaven and new earth" in Revelation.
23. Genesis 1:1 Heavens
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
בראשית ברא אלהים … השמים … הארץ [he]
εν αρχη εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην [lxx]
*H8064 שָׁמַיִם שָׁמֶה (shaw-mah'-yim) : dual of an unused singular shameh {shaw-meh'}; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve):--air, X astrologer, heaven(-s).
*G3772 *275 οὐρανός (oo-ran-os') : perhaps from the same as G3735 (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by extension, heaven (as the abode of God); by implication, happiness, power, eternity; specially, the Gospel (Christianity):--air, heaven(-ly), sky.
The ancient Greek word
"ουρανός" ≈ "sky, heaven". The English word for the planet
"Uranus", discovered by William Hershel in 1781, is from the ancient Greek word
"Οὐρανός" ≈ "Uranus" who was a god in Greek mythology.
24. Genesis 1:1 Heavens
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
The
"heaven" can be associated with
"keep name holy" of the Ten Commandments and the
"throne" in Revelation when Jesus is in
"heaven" to assume the "
king" role.
25. Genesis 1:1 Earth
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
בראשית ברא אלהים … השמים … הארץ [he]
εν αρχη εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην [lxx]
*H776 אֶרֶץ (eh'-rets) : from an unused root probably meaning to be firm; the earth (at large, or partitively a land):--X common, country, earth, field, ground, land, X natins, way, + wilderness, world.
*G1093 *251 γῆ (ghay) : contracted from a primary word; soil; by extension a region, or the solid part or the whole of the terrene globe (including the occupants in each application):--country, earth(-ly), ground, land, world.
The ancient Greek word
"γη" ≈ "earth" and from which come the English words "
geometry", "
geology", etc.
26. Genesis 1:1 Earth
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
The
"earth" can be associated with the
"bowl" and
"earth" judgments in Revelation and the
"no idols" in the Ten Commandments.
Who is the ruler of the (present) "earth"?
Who might be associated with an "idol" in the garden (at the beginning)?
27. Genesis 1:2 Waters
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [kjv]
η δε γη ην αορατος και ακατασκευαστος και σκοτος επανω της αβυσσου και πνευμα θεου επεφερετο επανω του υδατος [lxx]
The "
waters", here and in later verses make a lot more sense if one understands the state of nature called "
plasma" and the physical properties of "
plasma".
The English word "
plasma" comes from the (late) Latin word
"plasma" ≈ "mold" which comes from the ancient Greek word
"πλάσμα" (PLA-sma) ≈ "something formed, figure".
28. Genesis 1:2 Spirit
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [kjv]
η δε γη ην αορατος και ακατασκευαστος και σκοτος επανω της αβυσσου και πνευμα θεου επεφερετο επανω του υδατος [lxx]
*H7307 רוַּח (roo'-akh) : from H7306; wind; by resemblance breath, i.e. a sensible (or even violent) exhalation; figuratively, life, anger, unsubstantiality; by extension, a region of the sky; by resemblance spirit, but only of a rational being (including its expression and functions):--air, anger, blast, breath, X cool, courage, mind, X quarter, X side, spirit((-ual)), tempest, X vain, ((whirl-))wind(-y).
*G4151 *379 πνεῦμα (pnyoo'-mah) : from G4154; a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit:--ghost, life, spirit(-ual, -ually), mind. Compare G5590.
The ancient Greek word
"πνεῦμα" ≈ "air, wind, breath, life, spirit, soul" where the exact meaning depends on context. The Latin word
"spiritus" ≈ "spirit".
29. Genesis 1:6-8 A gaping gap between chasm and chaos
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [kjv]
Have you ever heard a pastor say or pray "
to the god who brought order to chaos"? Whose god are they talking about? The gods bringing order to "
chaos" is part of
Greek mythology. Such a god is in the universe instead of outside of time and space.
The description in Genesis of the God of the Bible is very different. That God had to create matter, time and space and then, from the starting point created, organize what was created.
And this is different than the technical term "
chaos theory" as systems with a sensitive dependency on initial conditions. And this is not the same as "
chaos" as a general term for disorder as in "
clutter" in our lives.
30. Genesis 1:2 Spirit moved
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [kjv]
The
"spirit moved" can be associated with
"keep Sabbath holy" and the
"Holy Spirit",
living "bread", hidden
"manna",
"oil" and
"mercy" of the other parts of the TenWordPin model.
31. Genesis 1:2
KJV: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Hebrew: והארץ היתה תהו ובהו וחשך על פני תהום ורוח אלהים מרחפת על פני המים׃
Greek: η δε γη ην αορατος και ακατασκευαστος και σκοτος επανω της αβυσσου και πνευμα θεου επεφερετο επανω του υδατος
Latin: terra autem erat inanis et vacua et tenebrae super faciem abyssi et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas
Wycliffe: Forsothe the erthe was idel and voide, and derknessis weren on the face of depthe; and the Spiryt of the Lord was borun on the watris.
Luther: Und die Erde war wüst und leer, und es war finster auf der Tiefe; und der Geist GOttes schwebete auf dem Wasser.
Slavonic: Земля же бе невидима и неустроена, и тма верху бездны, и Дух Божий ношашеся верху воды.
Russian: Земля же была безвидна и пуста, и тьма над бездною, и Дух Божий носился над водою.
Spanish: Y la tierra estaba desordenada y vacía, y las tinieblas estaban sobre la faz del abismo, y el Espíritu de Dios se movía sobre la faz de las aguas.
32. Genesis 1:3-4 Light and darkness
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος γενηθητω φως και εγενετο φως [lxx]
1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. [kjv]
και ειδεν ο θεος το φως οτι καλον και διεχωρισεν ο θεος ανα μεσον του φωτος και ανα μεσον του σκοτους [lxx]
The
LXX (Septuagint) has "
between" rather than "
from".
In the reverse sense, the
head God (as Jesus) will eventually again
divide the
light (
hairs, e.g.,
sheep) from the
dark (
hairs, e.g.,
goats).
33. John 1:4-5 Darkness
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [kjv]
εν αυτω ζωη ην και η ζωη ην το φως των ανθρωπων [gnt]
1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. [kjv]
και το φως εν τη σκοτια φαινει και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν [gnt]
How can "
darkness"
not "
comprehend"? Perhaps "
darkness" is an
intelligent entity.
The ancient Greek word
"φως" ≈ "light" and is the source of the English word
"photon" and
"photo" as short for
"photograph". The Latin word
"lux" ≈ "light".
The ancient Greek word
"καταλαμβάνω" ≈ "seize, grasp, hold". In context, the word can mean "
grasp with the mind" or "
comprehend". To "
comprehend" or "
grasp with the mind" requires "
darkness" to be an "
intelligent entity".
34. Declarative models
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος γενηθητω φως και εγενετο φως [lxx]
When you "
declare" something, like the "
Declaration of Independence", you state that something is what you want it to be.
A
declarative model of a system is a model that describes the
what of a system but not the
how or
why of a system.
The declarative part of what the system does is (often) explained in a model without getting into details of ordering of subparts of the system.
The control part of how the system does it and the order in which things are done is not (usually) explained in a model.
This distinction made is made in computer science and software engineering (and other areas).
1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [kjv]
בראשיתבראאלהים … השמים … הארץ [he]
εν αρχη εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην [lxx]
Genesis 1 is a
declarative model of creation and not a
procedural or
imperative model of creation. It says
what happened but not exactly
how it happened.
Word processors are declarative - WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).
Microsoft Word is "What you see is what you hope to get".
Spreadsheets are declarative (a simple functional language).
Programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc., are imperative or procedural.
35. Genesis 1:3
KJV: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Hebrew: ויאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי אור׃
Greek: και ειπεν ο θεος γενηθητω φως και εγενετο φως
36. Genesis 1:4
KJV: And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Hebrew: וירא אלהים את האור כי טוב ויבדל אלהים בין האור ובין החשך׃
Greek: και ειδεν ο θεος το φως οτι καλον και διεχωρισεν ο θεος ανα μεσον του φωτος και ανα μεσον του σκοτους
37. Strongs
- *H2896 טּוֹב (tobe) : from H2895; good (as an adjective) in the widest sense; used likewise as a noun, both in the masculine and the feminine, the singular and the plural (good, a good or good thing, a good man or woman; the good, goods or good things, good men or women), also as an adverb (well):--beautiful, best, better, bountiful, cheerful, at ease, X fair (word), (be in) favour, fine, glad, good (deed, -lier, -liest, -ly, -ness, -s), graciously, joyful, kindly, kindness, liketh (best), loving, merry, X most, pleasant, + pleaseth, pleasure, precious, prosperity, ready, sweet, wealth, welfare, (be) well ((-favoured)).
38. Genesis 1:3-4 Day 1
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [kjv]
1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. [kjv]
The "
light" and "
darkness" can be associated with the
"no coveting" of the Ten Commandments and the decision on the path to be taken from this node.
39. Genesis 1: Evening and morning
40. Genesis 1:5 Evening
Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. [kjv]
… ערב … בקר … [he]
και εκαλεσεν ο θεος το φως ημεραν και το σκοτος εκαλεσεν νυκτα και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα μια [lxx]
*H6158 עוֹרֵב עוֹרֵב (o-rabe') : or mowreb {o-rabe'}; from H6150; a raven (from its dusky hue):--raven.
The ancient Greek word
"ἕσπερος" ≈ "evening" which has a connotation of "
west" as in the setting sun and to the Latin word
"vesper" ≈ "evening" and the Russian word
"вечер" (ve-sher) ≈ "evening".
41. Genesis 1:5 Morning
Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. [kjv]
… ערב … בקר … [he]
και εκαλεσεν ο θεος το φως ημεραν και το σκοτος εκαλεσεν νυκτα και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα μια [lxx]
*H1242 בּוֹקֶר (bo'-ker) : from H1239; properly, dawn (as the break of day); generally, morning:--(+) day, early, morning, morrow.
*G4404 *12 πρωΐ (pro-ee') : adverb from G4253; at dawn; by implication, the day-break watch:--early (in the morning), (in the) morning.
The Greek word for
"morning" is that of "
first" as in "
first dawn". The ancient Greek word
"πρωΐ" ≈ "early in the day, morning".
42. Days of the week
Here is the (seven) days of the week summary.
Day 1 is Sunday (evening before and that day).
Day 2 is Monday (evening before and that day).
Day 3 is Tuesday (evening before and that day).
Day 4 is Wednesday (evening before and that day).
Day 5 is Thursday (evening before and that day).
Day 6 is Friday (evening before and that day).
Day 7 is Saturday (evening before and that day).
There is no day zero (0) in the Hebrew counting system.
43. Genesis 1:3-5
Day
1 is
Sunday (evening before and that day). On the first day,
Sunday, God saw that everything was "
good".
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος γενηθητω φως και εγενετο φως [lxx]
1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. [kjv]
και ειδεν ο θεος το φως οτι καλον και διεχωρισεν ο θεος ανα μεσον του φωτος και ανα μεσον του σκοτους [lxx]
1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. [kjv]
… ערב … בקר … [he]
και εκαλεσεν ο θεος το φως ημεραν και το σκοτος εκαλεσεν νυκτα και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα μια [lxx]
The "
good" days will be noted as they are encountered and summarized at the end.
44. Genesis 1:5
KJV: And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Hebrew: ויקרא אלהים לאור יום ולחשך קרא לילה ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום אחד׃
Greek: και εκαλεσεν ο θεος το φως ημεραν και το σκοτος εκαλεσεν νυκτα και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα μια
45. Genesis 1:6-8
Genesis 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος γενηθητω στερεωμα εν μεσω του υδατος και εστω διαχωριζον ανα μεσον υδατος και υδατος και εγενετο ουτως [lxx]
1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. [kjv]
και εποιησεν ο θεος το στερεωμα και διεχωρισεν ο θεος ανα μεσον του υδατος ο ην υποκατω του στερεωματος και ανα μεσον του υδατος του επανω του στερεωματος [lxx]
1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. [kjv]
και εκαλεσεν ο θεος το στερεωμα ουρανον και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα δευτερα [lxx]
46. Genesis 1:8 Good second day
Genesis 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. [kjv]
και εκαλεσεν ο θεος το στερεωμα ουρανον και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα δευτερα [lxx]
Day
2 is
Monday (evening before and that day). Note that the
LXX has God saying that this day is "
good". The
HOT (Hebrew Old Testament) does not say this. This
may be a part of the
HOT that was
fixed up at some later date. In this case, to get seven "
good" days rather than "
eight", one needs to be
omitted.
 |
Details are left as a future topic.
|
47. However
There is no record of God seeing anything "
good" on the second day - Monday, in the Hebrew. God had a "
blah" Monday in that he spoke things into existence but did not say it was "
good".
However, in the
LXX, God did see that it was "
good". What is going on here?
Did the LXX, translated from the Hebrew about 270 BC add this "good" part?
Did the Hebrew Masoretic text, standardized about 1,000 years later, remove the "good" part?
One motivation might be to have God say it was "
good" exactly seven times - a special number in Hebrew history. The
LXX has God saying it was "
good" eight times.
48. Genesis 1:6
KJV: And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Hebrew: ויאמר אלהים יהי רקיע בתוך המים ויהי מבדיל בין מים למים׃
Greek: και ειπεν ο θεος γενηθητω στερεωμα εν μεσω του υδατος και εστω διαχωριζον ανα μεσον υδατος και υδατος και εγενετο ουτως
49. Genesis 1:7
KJV: And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Hebrew: ויעש אלהים את הרקיע ויבדל בין המים אשר מתחת לרקיע ובין המים אשר מעל לרקיע ויהי כן׃
Greek: και εποιησεν ο θεος το στερεωμα και διεχωρισεν ο θεος ανα μεσον του υδατος ο ην υποκατω του στερεωματος και ανα μεσον του υδατος του επανω του στερεωματος
50. Genesis 1:8 Day 2
Genesis 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. [kjv]
Day
2 is
Monday (evening before and that day). The
"firmament" and
"heaven" can be associated with the
"no false witness" of the Ten Commandments. Once there are
two choices or perceptions, there is the possibility of
"false witness".
The process of
"false witness", in a
deceptive sense, requires some form of intelligence which does not appear to exist as of yet, except perhaps in the "
angels" both
good and
bad.
51. Node ambiguity
For some nodes it is not clear as to the connection. If most of the other nodes fit well, the other nodes are then associated with what is left.
One can always improve the model or propose another model.
Sometimes the relevant connections, like a puzzle piece, are not obvious until a later time.
52. Genesis 1:8
KJV: And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Hebrew: ויקרא אלהים לרקיע שמים ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום שני׃
Greek: και εκαλεσεν ο θεος το στερεωμα ουρανον και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα δευτερα
53. Genesis 1:9-10
Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος συναχθητω το υδωρ το υποκατω του ουρανου εις συναγωγην μιαν και οφθητω η ξηρα και εγενετο ουτως και συνηχθη το υδωρ το υποκατω του ουρανου εις τας συναγωγας αυτων και ωφθη η ξηρα [lxx]
1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. [kjv]
και εκαλεσεν ο θεος την ξηραν γην και τα συστηματα των υδατων εκαλεσεν θαλασσας και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον [lxx]
54. Genesis 1:9
KJV: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Hebrew: ויאמר אלהים יקוו המים מתחת השמים אל מקום אחד ותראה היבשה ויהי כן׃
Greek: και ειπεν ο θεος συναχθητω το υδωρ το υποκατω του ουρανου εις συναγωγην μιαν και οφθητω η ξηρα και εγενετο ουτως και συνηχθη το υδωρ το υποκατω του ουρανου εις τας συναγωγας αυτων και ωφθη η ξηρα
55. Genesis 1:10
KJV: And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Hebrew: ויקרא אלהים ליבשה ארץ ולמקוה המים קרא ימים וירא אלהים כי טוב׃
Greek: και εκαλεσεν ο θεος την ξηραν γην και τα συστηματα των υδατων εκαλεσεν θαλασσας και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον
56. Genesis 1:10
Genesis 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. [kjv]
και εκαλεσεν ο θεος την ξηραν γην και τα συστηματα των υδατων εκαλεσεν θαλασσας και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον [lxx]
και εκαλεσεν ο θεος την ξηραν γην και τα συστηματα των υδατων εκαλεσεν θαλασσας και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον [lxx]
… congregationesque … [v]
… gadryngis togidere … [wy]
… gatheringe togyther … [ty]

The "
gathering together" in the
KJV (King James Version) is the "
systems" in the
LXX.
57. Genesis 1:11
Genesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος βλαστησατω η γη βοτανην χορτου σπειρον σπερμα κατα γενος και καθ ομοιοτητα και ξυλον καρπιμον ποιουν καρπον ου το σπερμα αυτου εν αυτω κατα γενος επι της γης και εγενετο ουτως [lxx]
58. Genesis 1:11
KJV: And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Hebrew: ויאמר אלהים תדשא הארץ דשא עשב מזריע זרע עץ פרי עשה פרי למינו אשר זרעו בו על הארץ ויהי כן׃
Greek: και ειπεν ο θεος βλαστησατω η γη βοτανην χορτου σπειρον σπερμα κατα γενος και καθ ομοιοτητα και ξυλον καρπιμον ποιουν καρπον ου το σπερμα αυτου εν αυτω κατα γενος επι της γης και εγενετο ουτως
59. Genesis 1:12
Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. [kjv]
και εξηνεγκεν η γη βοτανην χορτου σπειρον σπερμα κατα γενος και καθ ομοιοτητα και ξυλον καρπιμον ποιουν καρπον ου το σπερμα αυτου εν αυτω κατα γενος επι της γης και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον [lxx]
60. Genesis 1:12
KJV: And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Hebrew: ותוצא הארץ דשא עשב מזריע זרע למינהו ועץ עשה פרי אשר זרעו בו למינהו וירא אלהים כי טוב׃
Greek: και εξηνεγκεν η γη βοτανην χορτου σπειρον σπερμα κατα γενος και καθ ομοιοτητα και ξυλον καρπιμον ποιουν καρπον ου το σπερμα αυτου εν αυτω κατα γενος επι της γης και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον
61. Genesis 1:11-13 A seed within itself, the chicken or the egg
Genesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος βλαστησατω η γη βοτανην χορτου σπειρον σπερμα κατα γενος και καθ ομοιοτητα και ξυλον καρπιμον ποιουν καρπον ου το σπερμα αυτου εν αυτω κατα γενος επι της γης και εγενετο ουτως [lxx]
In general, the question, "
Which came first, the chicken or the egg" refers to a situation where there are two objects that each depend on the other and the problem is to determine which came first.
Somehow, the information for the egg needs to be within the chicken. This is a self-referential system.
In Genesis 1:11-12 we have an example of this with fruit, "
whose seed is in itself". Modern self-replicating programs provide an example of this idea.
62. Genesis 1:13 Third day
Genesis 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. [kjv]
… ערב … בקריום … [he]
και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα τριτη [lxx]
On the third day, Tuesday, God said it was "
good"
twice.
The third day, Tuesday, is considered the day of
double blessing by Jews.
Weddings are often on this day.
You can now answer the following question. Why was the wedding in John 3 on the third day?
63. Genesis 1:13 Day 3
Genesis 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. [kjv]
Day
3 is
Tuesday (evening before and that day). This day of "
earth", "
sea" and "
plants" can be associated with the
"no stealing" of the Ten Commandments.
The process of
"stealing", in a
deceptive sense, requires some form of intelligence which does not appear to exist as of yet, except perhaps in the "
angels" both
good and
bad.
64. Genesis 1:13
KJV: And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Hebrew: ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום שלישי׃
Greek: και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα τριτη
Latin: factumque est vespere et mane dies tertius
Wycliffe: And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the thridde dai.
Tyndale: and the of the evenynge and mornynge was made the thyrde daye.
Luther: Da ward aus Abend und Morgen der dritte Tag.
Slavonic: И бысть вечер, и бысть утро, день третий.
Russian: И был вечер, и было утро: день третий.
Spanish: Y fue la tarde y la mañana el día tercero.
65. Genesis 1:14
Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος γενηθητωσαν φωστηρες εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου εις φαυσιν της γης του διαχωριζειν ανα μεσον της ημερας και ανα μεσον της νυκτος και εστωσαν εις σημεια και εις καιρους και εις ημερας και εις ενιαυτους [lxx]
The "
phases" of the "
moon" provide one "
clock".
The Hebrew calendar was based on the phases of the "
moon".
66. Genesis 1:14
KJV: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Hebrew: ויאמר אלהים יהי מארת ברקיע השמים להבדיל בין היום ובין הלילה והיו לאתת ולמועדים ולימים ושנים׃
Greek: και ειπεν ο θεος γενηθητωσαν φωστηρες εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου εις φαυσιν της γης του διαχωριζειν ανα μεσον της ημερας και ανα μεσον της νυκτος και εστωσαν εις σημεια και εις καιρους και εις ημερας και εις ενιαυτους
67. Genesis 1:15 Lights
Genesis 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. [kjv]
και εστωσαν εις φαυσιν εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου ωστε φαινειν επι της γης και εγενετο ουτως [lxx]
68. Genesis 1:15
KJV: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Hebrew: והיו למאורת ברקיע השמים להאיר על הארץ ויהי כן׃
Greek: και εστωσαν εις φαυσιν εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου ωστε φαινειν επι της γης και εγενετο ουτως
69. Genesis 1:16 Sun moon and starts
Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. [kjv]
και εποιησεν ο θεος τους δυο φωστηρας τους μεγαλους τον φωστηρα τον μεγαν εις αρχας της ημερας και τον φωστηρα τον ελασσω εις αρχας της νυκτος και τους αστερας [lxx]
The "
greater" and "
lesser" fit in with the idea of a "
measure".
In human terms, a "
measure" is used to determine, by observation, who is "
greater" and who is "
lesser".
70. Genesis 1:16
KJV: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Hebrew: ויעש אלהים את שני המארת הגדלים את המאור הגדל לממשלת היום ואת המאור הקטן לממשלת הלילה ואת הכוכבים׃
Greek: και εποιησεν ο θεος τους δυο φωστηρας τους μεγαλους τον φωστηρα τον μεγαν εις αρχας της ημερας και τον φωστηρα τον ελασσω εις αρχας της νυκτος και τους αστερας
71. Genesis 1:17
Genesis 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, [kjv]
και εθετο αυτους ο θεος εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου ωστε φαινειν επι της γης [lxx]
72. Genesis 1:17
KJV: And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Hebrew: ויתן אתם אלהים ברקיע השמים להאיר על הארץ׃
Greek: και εθετο αυτους ο θεος εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου ωστε φαινειν επι της γης
73. Genesis 1:18
Genesis 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. [kjv]
και αρχειν της ημερας και της νυκτος και διαχωριζειν ανα μεσον του φωτος και ανα μεσον του σκοτους και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον [lxx]
74. Genesis 1:18
KJV: And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Hebrew: ולמשל ביום ובלילה ולהבדיל בין האור ובין החשך וירא אלהים כי טוב׃
Greek: και αρχειν της ημερας και της νυκτος και διαχωριζειν ανα μεσον του φωτος και ανα μεσον του σκοτους και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλον
75. Genesis 1:19 Fourth day
Genesis 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. [kjv]
… ערב … בקריום … [he]
και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα τεταρτη [lxx]
Day
4 is
Wednesday (evening before and that day). On the fourth day, Wednesday, God saw that it was good one time.
76. Genesis 1:19 Day 4
Genesis 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. [kjv]
The
"sun",
"moon" and
"stars" have, throughout time, been associated with
"adultery" of peoples against God and thus can be associated with the
"no adultery" of the Ten Commandments.
77. Genesis 1:19
KJV: And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Hebrew: ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום רביעי׃
Greek: και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα τεταρτη
78. Genesis 1:20
Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος εξαγαγετω τα υδατα ερπετα ψυχων ζωσων και πετεινα πετομενα επι της γης κατα το στερεωμα του ουρανου και εγενετο ουτως [lxx]
79. Genesis 1:20
KJV: And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Hebrew: ויאמר אלהים ישרצו המים שרץ נפש חיה ועוף יעופף על הארץ על פני רקיע השמים׃
Greek: και ειπεν ο θεος εξαγαγετω τα υδατα ερπετα ψυχων ζωσων και πετεινα πετομενα επι της γης κατα το στερεωμα του ουρανου και εγενετο ουτως
80. Genesis 1:21
Genesis 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. [kjv]
και εποιησεν ο θεος τα κητη τα μεγαλα και πασαν ψυχην ζωων ερπετων α εξηγαγεν τα υδατα κατα γενη αυτων και παν πετεινον πτερωτον κατα γενος και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλα [lxx]
The
LXX includes "
reptiles".
81. Genesis 1:21
KJV: And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Hebrew: ויברא אלהים את התנינם הגדלים ואת כל נפש החיה הרמשת אשר שרצו המים למינהם ואת כל עוף כנף למינהו וירא אלהים כי טוב׃
Greek: και εποιησεν ο θεος τα κητη τα μεγαλα και πασαν ψυχην ζωων ερπετων α εξηγαγεν τα υδατα κατα γενη αυτων και παν πετεινον πτερωτον κατα γενος και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλα
82. Genesis 1:22
Genesis 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. [kjv]
και ηυλογησεν αυτα ο θεος λεγων αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και πληρωσατε τα υδατα εν ταις θαλασσαις και τα πετεινα πληθυνεσθωσαν επι της γης [lxx]
The "
fruitful" and "
multiply" indicates that a
replication was now possible and expected. This would be at a greater level than just plant replication.
The
LXX uses the Greek word for "
blessed" as in a "
good word" rather than the other Greek word often translated as "
blessed" that means "
happy".
The Greek word the
LXX is "
on" where the
KJV translates as "
in" the corresponding Hebrew word.
83. Genesis 1:22
KJV: And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
Hebrew: ויברך אתם אלהים לאמר פרו ורבו ומלאו את המים בימים והעוף ירב בארץ׃
Greek: και ηυλογησεν αυτα ο θεος λεγων αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και πληρωσατε τα υδατα εν ταις θαλασσαις και τα πετεινα πληθυνεσθωσαν επι της γης
84. Genesis 1:23 Fifth day
Genesis 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. [kjv]
… ערב … בקריום … [he]
και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα πεμπτη [lxx]
Day
5 is
Thursday (evening before and that day). On the fifth day, Thursday, God saw that it was "
good"
one time.
85. Genesis 1:23 Day 5
Genesis 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. [kjv]
The
"birds" and
"fish" can be associated with the
"no killing/murder" of the Ten Commandments. Until this time, there could be no
"death" from
"killing" or otherwise as there was
no life.
[AIG viewpoint of the Bible as a logical system]
86. Genesis 1:23
KJV: And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Hebrew: ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום חמישי׃
Greek: και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα πεμπτη
87. Genesis 1:24 Kinds
Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος εξαγαγετω η γη ψυχην ζωσαν κατα γενος τετραποδα και ερπετα και θηρια της γης κατα γενος και εγενετο ουτως [lxx]
88. Genesis 1:24
KJV: And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Hebrew: ויאמר אלהים תוצא הארץ נפש חיה למינה בהמה ורמש וחיתו ארץ למינה ויהי כן׃
Greek: και ειπεν ο θεος εξαγαγετω η γη ψυχην ζωσαν κατα γενος τετραποδα και ερπετα και θηρια της γης κατα γενος και εγενετο ουτως
89. Genesis 1:25 Kinds
Genesis 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. [kjv]
ויעש אלהים את חית הארץ למינה ואת הבהמה למינה ואת כל רמש האדמה למינהו וירא אלהים כי טוב׃ [he]
και εποιησεν ο θεος τα θηρια της γης κατα γενος και τα κτηνη κατα γενος και παντα τα ερπετα της γης κατα γενος αυτων και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλα [lxx]
90. Genesis 1:25
KJV: And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Hebrew: ויעש אלהים את חית הארץ למינה ואת הבהמה למינה ואת כל רמש האדמה למינהו וירא אלהים כי טוב׃
Greek: και εποιησεν ο θεος τα θηρια της γης κατα γενος και τα κτηνη κατα γενος και παντα τα ερπετα της γης κατα γενος αυτων και ειδεν ο θεος οτι καλα
91. Genesis 1:26 Dominion
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος ποιησωμεν ανθρωπον κατ εικονα ημετεραν και καθ ομοιωσιν και αρχετωσαν των ιχθυων της θαλασσης και των πετεινων του ουρανου και των κτηνων και πασης της γης και παντων των ερπετων των ερποντων επι της γης [lxx]
Having "
dominion" relates to a "
realm" of
influence or
power. Might this be related to the "
kingdom" of "
heaven/air"?
Note the various
animal groups listed.
92. Genesis 1:26
KJV: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Hebrew: ויאמר אלהים נעשה אדם בצלמנו כדמותנו וירדו בדגת הים ובעוף השמים ובבהמה ובכל הארץ ובכל הרמש הרמש על הארץ׃
Greek: και ειπεν ο θεος ποιησωμεν ανθρωπον κατ εικονα ημετεραν και καθ ομοιωσιν και αρχετωσαν των ιχθυων της θαλασσης και των πετεινων του ουρανου και των κτηνων και πασης της γης και παντων των ερπετων των ερποντων επι της γης
93. Genesis 1:27 Male and female
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. [kjv]
και εποιησεν ο θεος τον ανθρωπον κατ εικονα θεου εποιησεν αυτον αρσεν και θηλυ εποιησεν αυτους [lxx]
The ancient Greek word
"εἰκών" ≈ "picture, image" and is the source of the English word
"icon".
The English saying
"spitting image" means someone who looks just like someone else (e.g., their parent).
Granite is a rock. A grain of sand is a piece of granite, made in the image of granite. If Jesus is the rock, then a human sand hierarchy is a "
chip off the old block".
94. Genesis 1:27
KJV: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Hebrew: ויברא אלהים את האדם בצלמו בצלם אלהים ברא אתו זכר ונקבה ברא אתם׃
Greek: και εποιησεν ο θεος τον ανθρωπον κατ εικονα θεου εποιησεν αυτον αρσεν και θηλυ εποιησεν αυτους
95. Genesis 1:28
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. [kjv]
και ηυλογησεν αυτους ο θεος λεγων αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και πληρωσατε την γην και κατακυριευσατε αυτης και αρχετε των ιχθυων της θαλασσης και των πετεινων του ουρανου και παντων των κτηνων και πασης της γης και παντων των ερπετων των ερποντων επι της γης [lxx]
And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth. [bs3]
The English "
replenish" does not mean "
fill again". If you are not sure, you should "
research" it (for the first time).
96. Genesis 1:28
KJV: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Hebrew: ויברך אתם אלהים ויאמר להם אלהים פרו ורבו ומלאו את הארץ וכבשה ורדו בדגת הים ובעוף השמים ובכל חיה הרמשת על הארץ׃
Greek: και ηυλογησεν αυτους ο θεος λεγων αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και πληρωσατε την γην και κατακυριευσατε αυτης και αρχετε των ιχθυων της θαλασσης και των πετεινων του ουρανου και παντων των κτηνων και πασης της γης και παντων των ερπετων των ερποντων επι της γης
Brenton: And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
97. Genesis 1:29 Vegetarianism
Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος ιδου δεδωκα υμιν παν χορτον σποριμον σπειρον σπερμα ο εστιν επανω πασης της γης και παν ξυλον ο εχει εν εαυτω καρπον σπερματος σποριμου υμιν εσται εις βρωσιν [lxx]
98. Genesis 1:29
KJV: And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Hebrew: ויאמר אלהים הנה נתתי לכם את כל עשב זרע זרע אשר על פני כל הארץ ואת כל העץ אשר בו פרי עץ זרע זרע לכם יהיה לאכלה׃
Greek: και ειπεν ο θεος ιδου δεδωκα υμιν παν χορτον σποριμον σπειρον σπερμα ο εστιν επανω πασης της γης και παν ξυλον ο εχει εν εαυτω καρπον σπερματος σποριμου υμιν εσται εις βρωσιν
99. Genesis 1:30
Genesis 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. [kjv]
και πασι τοις θηριοις της γης και πασι τοις πετεινοις του ουρανου και παντι ερπετω τω ερποντι επι της γης ο εχει εν εαυτω ψυχην ζωης παντα χορτον χλωρον εις βρωσιν και εγενετο ουτως [lxx]
This is a statement of the vegetarianism before the flood.
As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the second coming.
100. Genesis 1:30
KJV: And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Hebrew: ולכל חית הארץ ולכל עוף השמים ולכל רומש על הארץ אשר בו נפש חיה את כל ירק עשב לאכלה ויהי כן׃
Greek: και πασι τοις θηριοις της γης και πασι τοις πετεινοις του ουρανου και παντι ερπετω τω ερποντι επι της γης ο εχει εν εαυτω ψυχην ζωης παντα χορτον χλωρον εις βρωσιν και εγενετο ουτως
101. Days of Noah
When asked about the end times, Jesus says the following in the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24.
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [kjv]
24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, [kjv]
24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [kjv]
People have always been marrying and giving in marriage.
What type of "marriage" might have been different before the flood?
[Vegetarianism, genetic engineering, marriages, etc.]
102. Genesis 1:31
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. [kjv]
וירא אלהים את כל אשר עשה והנה טוב מאד ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום הששי׃ [he]
και ειδεν ο θεος τα παντα οσα εποιησεν και ιδου καλα λιαν και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα εκτη [lxx]
Day
6 is
Friday (evening before and that day). On the sixth day, Friday, God saw that it was good
two times, including "
very good" one of those times. For some reason, Friday, the day before the Sabbath, is a day of double blessing but not a traditional day for weddings.
Perhaps this is because one would need to end the festivities by sundown when the sabbath started. For that reason, it might have been better to celebrate on a Tuesday (avoiding any high sabbath, of course).
103. Genesis 1:31 Day 6
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. [kjv]
The creation of
"animals" and
"humans" (i.e., Adam and Eve) can be associated with the
"honor father/mother" of the Ten Commandments.
Until this time, there was no
intelligence that could form the basis of
abstract thought and thus, of
"tradition" in the way that one could actually
"honor father/mother".
104. Genesis 1:31
KJV: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Hebrew: וירא אלהים את כל אשר עשה והנה טוב מאד ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום הששי׃
Greek: και ειδεν ο θεος τα παντα οσα εποιησεν και ιδου καλα λιαν και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα εκτη
105. Genesis 2:1
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. [kjv]
και συνετελεσθησαν ο ουρανος και η γη και πας ο κοσμος αυτων [lxx]
The "
host" is, in Greek, what became the English word "
cosmos" and at the time the
LXX was translated meant "
adornments" where the stars were adornments in the heavens, as described by Pythagoras of Pythagorean triangle fame (or infamous if you did not like geometry or trigonometry).
106. Genesis 2:1
KJV: Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Hebrew: ויכלו השמים והארץ וכל צבאם׃
Greek: και συνετελεσθησαν ο ουρανος και η γη και πας ο κοσμος αυτων
107. Genesis 2:2
Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. [kjv]
… השביעי … וישבת … השביעי … [he]
και συνετελεσεν ο θεος εν τη ημερα τη εκτη τα εργα αυτου α εποιησεν και κατεπαυσεν τη ημερα τη εβδομη απο παντων των εργων αυτου ων εποιησεν [lxx]
Day
7 is
Saturday (evening before and that day). According to the Hebrew, God completed his work on the
seventh day, Saturday. Did God do any work on the seventh day? That is the day God rested.
108. Day 7 Rest on the seventh day
Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. [kjv]
109. Day 7 Rest on the seventh day
Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. [kjv]
… השביעי … וישבת … השביעי … [he]
και συνετελεσεν ο θεος εν τη ημερα τη εκτη τα εργα αυτου α εποιησεν και κατεπαυσεν τη ημερα τη εβδομη απο παντων των εργων αυτου ων εποιησεν [lxx]
The
"Sabbath" as a
"day of rest" can be associated with the
"Keep Sabbath holy" of the Ten Commandments.
The
LXX says that God ended his "
work" on the
"sixth" day.
110. Matthew 11:28-29
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [kjv]
δευτε προς με παντες οι κοπιωντες και πεφορτισμενοι καγω αναπαυσω υμας [gnt]
11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [kjv]
αρατε τον ζυγον μου εφ υμας και μαθετε απ εμου οτι πραυς ειμι και ταπεινος τη καρδια και ευρησετε αναπαυσιν ταις ψυχαις υμων [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"παύω" ≈ "stop, cease" and, in context, "
rest" or
"pause". The ancient Greek word
"ἀναπαύω" ≈ "stop, cease" and, in
context, at can mean
"rest".
To what is Jesus giving one a
"stop" or
"ceasing"? Might it be from the "
yoke" of "
compulsion" required by the religious institutions?
111. Matthew 11:28-29
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [kjv]
δευτε προς με παντες οι κοπιωντες και πεφορτισμενοι καγω αναπαυσω υμας [gnt]
11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [kjv]
αρατε τον ζυγον μου εφ υμας και μαθετε απ εμου οτι πραυς ειμι και ταπεινος τη καρδια και ευρησετε αναπαυσιν ταις ψυχαις υμων [gnt]
The Hebrew word
"וישבת" (way-yis-bot) ≈ "and he rested" is the source of the word
"Sabbath" and
"seven" as in the
"seventh" day of creation in Genesis.
Might what Jesus is saying be related to the
"Holy Spirit",
"manna",
"bread of life",
"oil" and
"mercy", etc.?
[find]
112. Matthew 11:30
Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. [kjv]
ο γαρ ζυγος μου χρηστος και το φορτιον μου ελαφρον εστιν [gnt]
... my yoke (two going together) is useful [Christ] and my burden/load [tax] is light.
To what is Jesus giving one a
"stop" or
"ceasing"? Might it be from the "
yoke" of "
compulsion" required by the religious institutions?

115. Genesis 2:2
KJV: And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Hebrew: ויכל אלהים ביום השביעי מלאכתו אשר עשה וישבת ביום השביעי מכל מלאכתו אשר עשה׃
Greek: και συνετελεσεν ο θεος εν τη ημερα τη εκτη τα εργα αυτου α εποιησεν και κατεπαυσεν τη ημερα τη εβδομη απο παντων των εργων αυτου ων εποιησεν
Latin: conplevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat
Wycliffe: And God fillide in the seuenthe dai his werk which he made; and he restide in the seuenthe dai fro al his werk which he hadde maad;
Tyndale: ad i ye seueth daye god ended hys worke which he had made and rested in ye seventh daye fro all his workes which he had made.
Luther: Und also vollendete Gott am siebenten Tage seine Werke, die er machte, und ruhete am siebenten Tage von allen seinen Werken, die er machte;
Slavonic: И соверши Бог в день шестый дела Своя, яже сотвори: и почи в день седмый от всех дел Своих, яже сотвори.
Russian: И совершил Бог к седьмому дню дела Свои, которые Он делал, и почил в день седьмый от всех дел Своих, которые делал.
116. Exodus 20:11
Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. [kjv]
εν γαρ εξ ημεραις εποιησεν κυριος τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτοις και κατεπαυσεν τη ημερα τη εβδομη δια τουτο ευλογησεν κυριος την ημεραν την εβδομην και ηγιασεν αυτην [lxx]
This idea is repeated in Exodus 20:11.
117. Exodus 20:11
KJV: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Hebrew: כי ששת ימים עשה יהוה את השמים ואת הארץ את הים ואת כל אשר בם וינח ביום השביעי על כן ברך יהוה את יום השבת ויקדשהו׃
Greek: εν γαρ εξ ημεραις εποιησεν κυριος τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτοις και κατεπαυσεν τη ημερα τη εβδομη δια τουτο ευλογησεν κυριος την ημεραν την εβδομην και ηγιασεν αυτην
118. Septuagint
In the
LXX, however, God finished his work on the sixth day. Might this have been changed from "
seventh" to avoid some issue?
And God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his works which he made. (Brenton Septuagint translation)
It appears that the ending of work on the seventh day might have been a Jewish idiom. That idiom would not translate into Greek very well. Perhaps this is why the
LXX differs.
119. Syriac Peshitah
The
OCS (Old Church Slavonic) uses "
sixth" day. The modern Russian uses "
seventh" day.
It appears that the Syriac Peshitah Bible uses "
sixth".

120. Seven day week
On the seventh day, God rested from his work.
Thus, there are seven days in the week.
121. Seven days without God makes one weak
Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. [kjv]
… השביעי … וישבת … השביעי … [he]
2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. [kjv]
The prime number "
seven" is related among many
PIE languages and is the basis of the seven day week going back to Genesis.
The English word "
week" is related to many other words involving a "
turning" as in one weekly cycle turning into another cycle.
122. Adding the numbers
For the seven days, God says that it is "
good"
seven times in the
HOT and
eight times in the
LXX.

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) as coded information is created in days 3, 4 and 6.
123. Coded information of life
Interestingly, the days that God says it is "
good" twice in the
LXX are days of
information mechanism
creation.
Day two, Tuesday: plant DNA and replication (seed within itself)
Day six, Friday: land animals, human DNA
The sea and air creatures (whales, fowl) on day five would involve
DNA, but
no double blessing on that day.
124. Genesis 5:1-29 Hidden plan of salvation in the generations from Adam to Noah
In computer science terms, the family tree is
not a (pure)
tree structure. A
tree is a
connected graph with
no cycles.
The family tree structure, in reality, is what is called a
DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) since the corresponding unconnected graph has cycles. Why?
Name the first
ten generations starting at
Adam and ending at
Noah.
The
ten generations listed in Genesis, using the meaning of the Hebrew words, appears to relate to the salvation message.
125. End of page
Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. [kjv]
… ערב … בקר … [he]
και εκαλεσεν ο θεος το φως ημεραν και το σκοτος εκαλεσεν νυκτα και εγενετο εσπερα και εγενετο πρωι ημερα μια [lxx]
When exactly does the day start? And when does it end? There have been two primary views during history.
