Door of enticement

  THE DOOR OF ENTICEMENT Gen 4:7 Gen 4:7 KJV If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. Gen 4:7 FCAB-TORAH ONLY Behold, if you do right, I accept it, and if you will not do right, sin lies in wait before the door; you are going to be converted to it and it will have authority over you". Gen 4:7 LOGOS Have you not sinned if you have brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? Be still, to you shall be his submission, and you shall rule over him.” You may notice that the LXX lacks the word  door, which is patach in Hebrew.  Apparently they got the idea of “divided”, from a similar looking Hebrew word “patah”, which actually means  “entice”.  You see, someone who is enticed to sin, is divided in their mind and heart.   If you can understand what you are looking at, you will see that the Greek is following the Hebrew word order, but ...

Branch or rising sun?

  Zech 3:8 My Servant the Branch/My Servant the Rising Sun Zec 3:8 KJV Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. Zec 3:8 LBP (ES) Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who stand before you; for you are marvelous men: Behold, I will bring forth the rising of the sun upon my servant. Or: my servant the rising sun To understand how ancient Jews understood the phrase "my servant the branch", as "my servant the rising sun", one must make a close inspection of related Hebrew words to get the clear picture: Samach means joy, from the picture of the sun shining upon the garden, and the rain falling upon the garden, and watching the flowers come to life and grow. zamach means joy from the picture of cutting off one of these flowers and sharing it with others. However, taking a sickle to the garden implies the pruning process.  A proces...

The blood seal

  THE BLOOD SEAL! Exo 4:25 KJV Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. Exo 4:25 LBP (ES) Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off the foreskin of her son, and she fell down at the feet of the LORD and said, I have a bloody husband. Exo 4:25 ABP2006 wo cr And Zipporah, taking a small sharp stone, circumcised the foreskin of her son. And she fell at his feet, and said, [is stopped The blood of the circumcision of my male child]. The word used for bridegroom in this passage is taken to mean stopped up.  As in the flow of blood has been stopped.  So, while our present Hebrew text reads chatan/חתן bridegroom, the ancient Jews who translated the LXX saw or heard chatam/חתם which means to seal, complete, stop, lock up.  If it is true, that ancient woman called the newborn child bridegroom at circumcision, as is speculated by Gesenius (see below), then apparently the LXX w...

Question or statement?

  EX 6:3 A statement or a question? Targum translated by Etheridge EX 6:1-9 AND the Lord spake with Mosheh, and said to him, I am the Lord who revealed Myself to thee in the midst of the bush, and said to thee, I am the Lord. And I was revealed unto Abraham, and to Izhak, and to Jakob, as EI‑Shaddai; but My Name Ye‑ya, as it discovereth My Glory, [1] was not known to them. [JERUSALEM. And the Lord was revealed in His Word unto Abraham, to Izhak, and to Jakob, as the God of Heaven; but the Name of the Word of the Lord was not known. to them.] And I confirmed also My covenant with them, to give them the land of Kenaan, the land of their sojourning in which they were sojourners. And now cometh before Me the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Mizraee do enslave them; and I remember My covenant. Therefore say to the sons of Israel, I am the Lord; and I will bring you forth from the oppressive bondage of the Mizraee, and will deliver you from your servitude, and save you with ...
