Here is the rewritten *ADDENDUM* with the Peshitta 1 Peter 3:21 confession - bringing it home:
---
*ADDENDUM - AMAD - To Stand is to Dwell - The Flood as Immersion and Confession*
The Peshitta in Genesis 6:3 does not just say dwell. It uses *AMAD - עמד - to stand.*
*AMAD means to stand, to stand before, to stand with, to remain standing, to endure.*
*And to stand before or with is KEN - to dwell with, to be established.*
In Hebrew thought, *to stand with is to dwell with.*
*To stand before the king is to dwell in the king's presence.*
*To stand with the seed is to abide with the seed.*
*To stand at the gate is to contend and judge at the gate.*
This is Temple language.
*We are purified through immersion to stand before Yehowah in the temple.*
*Psalm 24:3-4 Who shall ascend into the hill of Yehowah? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart.*
*Deuteronomy 10:8 At that time Yehowah separated the tribe of Levi... to stand before Yehowah to minister unto him*
*To stand before is to dwell with. To dwell with is to be established. This is KEN.*
So Genesis 6:3 is the first Temple ban:
*My Spirit shall no longer AMAD - stand with the seed in the house.*
Because the seed became flesh only, unclean, and could no longer *stand in holy place*.
Now see how deep it goes. *The flood itself was that immersion.*
*1 Peter 3:18-21 ...when once the longsuffering of Yehowah waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us*
Flood was not just judgment. *It was Mikveh of the earth.* The whole earth was immersed to wash away flesh-only seed so a remnant could *stand again.*
And here Peshitta brings it home. Greek has *eperotema - answer, pledge, appeal* - a legal term for answering a formal question:
*Not the putting away of filth of flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God.*
Peshitta reads it plain:
*Peshitta Aramaic - 1 Peter 3:21 - Not with the washing of filth of flesh, but with the confession of Yehowah with a pure conscience - tauwditha d'Alaha b'titheh dakhya*
Greek says *answer*. Peshitta reveals what answer: *Confession.*
*Our baptism / immersion IS our confession.* It is us *standing before Yehowah and confessing with pure conscience that we want to AMAD again - to stand with, to dwell with.*
- *Gen 6:3 - Spirit will not stand with flesh*
- *Gen 7 - Earth immersed in water as baptism*
- *1 Peter 3:21 Greek - that immersion is eperotema - the formal answer / appeal for clean conscience to stand again*
- *1 Peter 3:21 Peshitta - that answer IS our confession of Yehowah with pure conscience*
*The flood waters = baptism waters = confession waters.*
We confess, we are washed, we can *AMAD - stand before, stand with, dwell with - again.*
That is the full circle: *DIN as dwelling lost, AMAD as standing lost, restored through immersion which is confession.*
Here's a rewritten and tightened version of the blog post draft I gave you earlier. I've kept all the key layers intact but woven in גדי (the young goat/kid = 17) prominently—pairing it beautifully with עגלים (calves/circles = 153) as the two bracketing springs in Ezekiel's vision. This makes the symmetry even clearer and stronger.The Hidden Geometry of 153: Fish, Sons of God, and Two Young AnimalsJohn 21 tells of a night of empty nets turned into an overwhelming catch: exactly 153 large fish, hauled in on the right side, the net miraculously unbroken.Why 153? For centuries this number has intrigued readers. It is no random detail. Layer by layer, Scripture reveals a stunning web of mathematics, gematria, and wordplay—all pointing to resurrection, cleansing, and the great end-time harvest of souls.1. 153 = The 17th Triangular Number153 is the sum of every integer from 1 to 17:1 + 2 + … + 17 = 153This makes it a perfect triangular number—one that forms an equilateral triang...
