Welcome to the very first Torah portion of the Torah, in the book of Genesis.
There are 88 Aleph-Tavs in this weeks Torah portion.
NOTE: All of the yous and yours underlined as "you" and "your" indicates that the you and the your are plural. Also any of the words that are in bold pink lettering, in example "you", refers to the feminine gender, but it is only applied when it does not commonly refer to a woman. This only is applied to this week's Torah portion text at this time.
Welcome to the beginning of the annual Torah cycle.
CHAPTER 1
Genesis 1:1-31
Gen 1:1 In first (beginning), Elohim created את the Heavens and את-the Earth. 2 And the Earth, she was deserted (worthless, formless) and empty, and Darkness was upon the face of the abyss, and the Ruakh (Spirit) of Elohim was moving gently upon the face of the waters. 3 And Elohim said Be Light, and became Light. 4 And Elohim saw את-the light for goodness. And Elohim divided (separated, distinguished) between the Light and between the Darkness. 5 And Elohim called to the light, Day, and called to the darkness, Night. And became mixing period (evening) and became breaking period (morning): One day.
6 And Elohim said, Be a Firmament (Expanse) in the midst of the waters, and shall be divided (separated, distinguished) [(with division (separation, distinguishment)] between waters to the waters. 7 And Elohim did (made) את-the Firmament (Expanse), and was with division (divided) between the waters which were from under of (by, to) the expanse, and between the waters which were from above to (by) the Firmament (Expanse), and became so. 8 And Elohim called to the Firmament (Expanse), Heavens. And became mixing period (evening), and became breaking period (morning): Second day.
9 And Elohim said, The waters from under the Heavens, they shall be collected to one place, and the dry place, she shall appear, and became so. 10 And Elohim called to the dry land Earth, and to the collection of the waters were called Seas, and Elohim saw for goodness. 11 And Elohim said, The Earth, she will sprout Sprouts, the Herb shall with the seeding of Seed, and Fruit Trees shall do (make) fruit to his kind which his seed is in him upon the Earth, and became so. 12 And the Earth, she brought out Sprouts, the Herb was with seeding Seed to his kind, and Trees did (made) Fruit which his seed is in him to his kind. And Elohim saw for goodness. 13 And became mixing period (evening), and became breaking period (morning): Third day.
14 And Elohim said, Be Lights (Luminaries) in the Firmament (Expanse) of the Heavens for the division (separation, distinguishing) between the Day and between the Night, and shall be for Signs, and for Appointed Times, and for days, and years, 15 and they shall be for Lights (Luminaries) in the Firmament (Expanse) of the Heavens for the lighting upon the Earth. And became so. 16 And Elohim did (made) את-the two Great Lights (Luminaries): את-the Great Light (Luminary) to rule [(for with ruling)] the Day and את-the Small Light (Luminary) to rule [(for with ruling)] the Night, and את the Stars. 17 And Elohim set them in the Firmament (Expanse) of the Heavens for the lighting upon the Earth. 18 And for ruling in (among) the Day and in (among) the Night and for the separation (distinguishing, division) between the Light and between the Darkness, and Elohim saw for goodness. 19 And became mixing period (evening), and became breaking period (morning): Fourth day.
20 And Elohim said The waters, they shall swarm swarmers of a living soul, and fliers (birds) shall fly over the Earth upon the face of the Firmament (Expanse) of the Heavens. 21 And Elohim created [(And was the creation of Elohim of)] את-the great sea-monsters, and את all of the living soul of the ones creeping which swarmed the waters [(which the waters, they swarmed)] to their kind, and את every flyer (bird) of wing to his kind. And Elohim saw for goodness. 22 And Elohim blessed them to say Fructify and multiply, and fill את-the Waters in the Seas, and the fliers (birds) shall multiply on the Earth. 23 And became mixing period (evening), and became breaking period (morning): Fifth day.
24 And Elohim said, The Earth, she shall bring out a living soul to her kind, of animals and the creepers, and his beasts of the Earth to her kind. And became so. 25 And Elohim did (made) את-the beasts of the Earth to her kind, and את-the animals to her kind, and of את all creepers of the Ground to his kind. And Elohim saw for goodness.
26 And Elohim said, We will do (make) Adam in Our Image according to Our Likeness, and shall rule among the fishes of the Sea, and among the birds of the Heavens, and among the animals, and among all of the Earth, and among all creepers that creep upon the Earth. 27 And Elohim created את the Adam in His Image, created him in the Image of Elohim, created them a remembered one (male) and a perforated one (punctured one, female). 28 And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, Fructify and multiply, and fill את-the Earth, and subdue (subject) her; and rule among the fish of the Sea, and among the birds of the Heavens, and among all living beasts that creep upon the Earth. 29 And Elohim said, Behold, I have given to you את-every herb seeding Seed which is upon the face of all of the Earth, and את-every Tree which in him is the Fruit of the Tree seeding Seed, to you shall be for food. 30 And to every beast of the Earth, and to every flier (bird) of the Heavens, and to every creeper upon the Earth which in him is a living soul, את-every Green Herb shall be for food, and became so. 31 And Elohim saw את-all which was done (made), and behold were much goodness. And became mixing period (evening), and became breaking period (morning): Sixth day.

Verses one and two
DAY ONE
1 In first (beginning), Elohim created את the Heavens and את-the Earth. 2 And the Earth, she was deserted (worthless, formless) and empty, and Darkness was upon the face of the abyss, and the Ruakh (Spirit) of Elohim was moving gently upon the face of the waters.
The Heavens and the Earth are completely dark. The Earth was just a globe of "still waters", flat and calm all around the planet. There was no wind to make wave for it, and there was no land for it to make waves at the time. The land was completely submerged underwater. There is no image portraying what it looked like at that time, but this is the best that I can portray of an image of what the Heavens and the Earth looked like before light came into existence
This is a sketch image of the earth at this stage
If one can figure it out, the earth in this stage is comparable to a human egg. It was just one big "water ball", and it is possible that the water was completely still: no waves, no ice caps, and a smooth surfaced ocean. Below is an comparison image between the diagram of the earth at this stage and a human egg
!!!כבד לך יהוה
Indirectly related, it can be compared to what King David noted in the book of Psalms
Psalm 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
In verse one of this week's Torah portion passage, in the Hebrew text, there is an enlarged letter Bet in the first word of the phrase "In beginning" which the Hebrew of this week's Torah portion name "B'reyshith"
The letter Bet in the Paleo-Hebrew is a picture of a house. Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries in his July 2004 edition of Yavoh magazine under the title "The Jots and Tittles of Moses" made this notion:
"Bet means "house." Embolding the Bet means that this is the story of how God is building His house. To start a house (a family), a man takes a bride. It is from her that she will establish their home and children will be born and raised. Therefore, from the beginning, it has been God's plan to build his house by taking a bride and bringing forth children."
Verse one of this week's Torah portion passage commonly starts as translated "In the beginning". In the Hebrew text, it reads "B'reysheeth", but if it was supposed to be translated as "In the beginning", the Hebrew text should be "Bah-reysheeth" with a dash below the Hebrew Letter, Bet, for the prefix "the". But it's a dagesh below the Hebrew letter, Bet, meaning that it is not to be translated with "the" in the phrase, but without it. Therefore, it is to be properly translated as "In beginning". Now that this matter is settled, if one thinks of it, this phrase, "In beginning", in my opinion implies "an impressed action", whereas the phrase "In the beginning" would be more of "non-acting point in time".
Looking at the word FIRST (BEGINNING)
The Hebrew word for first (beginning) is "rey-sheeth"- Resh, Aleph, Shin, Yod, Tav (tysar). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7225, and its definition
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.
from 7216 "rosh" (sar), and its definiton
From an unused root apparently meaning to shake; the head (as most easily shaken), whether literally or figuratively (in many applications, of place, time, rank, etc.): - band, beginning, captain, chapter, chief (-est place, man, things), company, end, X every [man], excellent, first, forefront, ([be-]) head, height, (on) high (-est part, [priest]), X lead, X poor, principal, ruler, sum, top.
Though, it is commonly translated as "beginning", it really should be translated as "first", because it is the "first" of all creation by creating the Heavens and the Earth "first". As I noted earlier, what hwhy was an implied action, and when it is translated more literal as "In first", this is implying that it is an impressed action when יהוה created the Heavens and the Earth.
!!!כבד לך יהוה
Also in verse one of this week's Torah portion passage, the first stand alone Aleph-Tav occurs here. It is the fourth word of the seven Hebrew words of this verse. To יהוה, a day is a thousand years, which is noted by the apostle Peter in his epistle
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with hwhy as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Those seven Hebrew words represent each day, and each day represents a thousand years. The Aleph-Tav, the fourth word, is symbolic to the fourth day. This is symbolic of Yeshua who came to earth in the four thousandth year, or fourth day, of the creation's existence.
Also in verse one in this week's Torah portion passage, the heavens and the earth are the two oldest realms in the universe. Nothing else existed but these two. There was no Big Bang Theory. If there was one, I would guarantee that the earth would have been destroyed or severely altered and unlivable. One of these points is proven, which is noted in the Gospel of John
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word...
Brad Scott of Wildbranch Ministry noted that scientists have been trying to find the smallest particle, but Brad Scott realized that the smallest particle is the "Invisible Word", because it is the "Word" that "creates" the atoms. The spoken word is the smallest unseen particle in existence, but the particle is invisible. The invisible spoken word particles is what creates the visible particles starting with the atoms and combines more atoms, and the atoms take shape to make the word manifested in its form, thus fulfilling the invisible spoken word. The apostle Paul backs up Brad's claim, which he noted in his letter to the assembly in Rome
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Elohimhead; so that they are without excuse:
This is the "Invisible Word" made manifest through the creation of the universe and not some "Big Bang Theory", which they say the particles already existed. Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted King David making this statement, which is noted in the book of the Psalms
Psalm 33:6 By the Word of hwhy were the Heavens made; and by the Breath of His Mouth, all of their hosts.
Indirectly related, Yeshua talks about the Breath of Life to Nicodemus in the Gospel of Matthew
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth:...
In other words, it cannot be seen. So is the Spoken Word that hwhy Breathed and the atoms and molecules were created through the invisible breath of The Word of יהוה.
In relation to verse one of this week's Torah portion passage, Yeshua noted to the Jews that He told them who He was without telling them who He was, which is noted in the Gospel of John
John 8:22 Then said the Jews, Will He kill Himself? because He saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 23 And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins. 25 Then said they unto him, Who art Thou? And Yeshua saith unto them, Even the Same that I said unto you from the beginning.
In other words, Yeshua was hinting to the Jews that He is "the Word in the beginning" from Genesis 1:1 which is later noted in John 1:1, both noted above.
!!!כבד לך יהוה
In verse two of this week's Torah portion passage, the earth is definitely female
2 And the Earth, she was formless and empty,
When one says "mother earth", they are on the right track, but not knowing that it is female.
Also, the word can be compared to the human egg being created into the Living Word manifested in John chapter one as Yeshua.
!!!כבד לך יהוה
Later on in verse two of this week's Torah portion passage, it is written
2 ...and the Ruakh (Spirit) of Elohim was moving gently upon the face of the waters.
The Ruakh of Elohim, which is the Spirit of Elohim, the Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit), which moved gently upon the waters can be compared to the human egg that was penetrated by the sperm and was fertilized by the sperm. QUESTION!!! Does this account sound familiar? Looking at the account, which is noted in the Gospel of Luke
Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from Elohim unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, יהוה is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with Elohim. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His Name YESHUA. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and יהוה Elohim shall give unto him the throne of His father David: 33 And He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end. 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the Power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that Sacred Thing/Holy Thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of Elohim. 36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37 For with Elohim nothing shall be impossible. 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the יהוה; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
It has been accepted by our Messianic brethren that this Luke account occurred during Khanukkah. One can say that during this week's Torah portion passage, it was comparable as a "symbolic prophecy" to Miriam's birth of Yeshua by the Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit).
!!!!!כבד לך יהוה
The Ruakh of Elohim (the Spirit of Elohim) can be compared to a human sperm moving gently on the Human egg.
Verses three through five
3 And Elohim said Be Light, and became Light. 4 And Elohim saw את-the light for goodness. And Elohim divided (separated, distinguished) between the Light and between the Darkness. 5 And Elohim called to the light, Day, and called to the darkness, Night. And became mixing period (evening) and became breaking period (morning): One day.
In verse five of this week's Torah portion passage, the first day was known as "one day".
Looking at the word ONE
The Hebrew word for one is "eh-khad"- Aleph, Khet, Dalet (אחד). It is from Strong's Concordance number 158, and its definition
A numeral from H258; properly united, that is, one; or (as an ordinal) first: - a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any (-thing), apiece, a certain [dai-] ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.
from 258 "akhad" (אחד), and its definiton
Perhaps a primitive root; to unify, that is, (figuratively) collect (one’s thoughts): - go one way or other.
The Heavens and the Earth were considered "ekhad", because they were a unified connection between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Earth. Translators commonly translate this Hebrew word as "first". That is not correct, because it is a "unifier" for various means. For example, if one thinks of it, when Elohim starts with the day one, in Hebrew "ekhad", it is a "unifier" for the beginning of time and to "hold" time together. Also, on the first day of the new Biblical months the translaters translate the first day as "first", but in the Hebrew text, it is also the Hebew word "ekhad". In the new Biblical month's case, the ekhad day "unifies" the "whole month". In this week's Torah portion passage's case it "unifies" the whole "week".
!!!כבד לך יהוה
Indirectly related to the Heavens and the Earth, a good example would be Yeshua's answer to the disciples telling Him to teach them to pray, by saying this part of the prayer of the "Avinu", or "Our Father", which is commonly translated in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 6:10 Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Jonathan Cahn of Beth Israel Worship Center noted in his July 27, 2016 daily reading of Sapphires, titled "Starting with Heaven", noted about the proper order the heavens and the earth:
"Here's an incredible truth from the Lord's prayer. "On earth as it is in heaven," in the original language reads differently. It doesn't say on earth as it is in heaven. It says "as it is in heaven, so on the earth." The point isn't about getting earth to heaven, the point is about getting heaven to earth. It starts with heaven. There's nothing before that, no problem, no issue, no concern, no enemies, no dangers. That's where salvation starts. That's where Messiah came from. That's where every good and perfect gift comes from. That's where the answers you're looking for start. That's where your peace begins. That's where your blessing starts. That's where your victorious life begins. The gospel starts in heaven. The Lord's prayer starts in heaven. So learn to start your day, your prayer, your solutions, your plans, your heart, dealing with a problem, your needs, your love, your future, everything from heaven. Learn the secret of starting with nothing else, nothing more, no problem, no agenda, just God, just heaven. Because heaven is where it's at, and that's where all blessings begin".
This is how the Matthew text should properly read when put in its correct order:
Matthew 6:10 Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done as in the Heavens, so is on the Earth.
The prophet Isaiah reinforces the unification in his book
Isaiah 48:13 Mine Hand also hath laid the foundation of the Earth, and My Right Hand hath spanned the Heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
The Hebrew word for together is "yakhad"- Yod, Khet, Dalet (יחד), similar to the word "ekhad"- (dxa).
The Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) was activating the earth by stirring the waters. Is this not what the Ruakh HaKodesh does to us in our lives today, by stirring us up to do the Heavenly Father's Will?
In this week's Torah portion passage, there are those who say that the new Biblical day begins at breaking period (sunrise). I strongly disagree with this premise. First of all, the sun stays the same shape every day, whereas the moon changes shape on a daily basis. The moon does not stay in the same place as compared to the sun, and the sun reflects that through the changes in the moon's waxing and waning stages. If one says that the new day starts at sunrise, how does one know when the Shabbath occurs, or how does one know when the new Biblical month occurs? In reminding, the word "month" is taken from the word, "moon" as in "moonth", meaning that the new day starts at "night". Hence our Modern English word, "month".
Secondly, looking at each day of the end each segments in this chapter, it says "and there was mixing period (evening), and there was breaking period (morning)". This tells us that the new Biblical day order starts at the "mixing period (evening)"..., and afterward, the Biblical day continues in the "breaking period (morining)". If hwhy wanted the Biblical day to begin in the breaking period (morning), it would have been written "and there was breaking period (morning), and there was mixing period (evening)..." meaning the new Biblical day starts in the breaking period (morning), and afterward continues in the mixing period (evening), but this is not what hwhy wrote.
Thirdly, there are examples in the Scriputres in the Torah and in the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant) which base this premise. In the Torah portions of Sh'mini and M'tsora, in the book of Leviticus, in chapters eleven and fifteen, the majority of the topics from those chapters end with "and they shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening)". These are some examples:
Leviticus 11:24 And to these you shall be unclean: anyone that touches on their carcases (corpses) shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening). 25 And anyone that lifts up (bears, carries) from their carcases (corpses) shall trample wash his garments, and shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening). 26 To any of the animal, which she is with dividing the hoof, and cloven, is not cloven hoofed, and the cud is not with ascending, they are unclean to you: anyone that touches on them shall be unclean. 27 And anyone that goes upon his paws (palms) among all of the living things that go upon four, they are unclean to you: anyone that touches on their carcases (corpses) shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening). 28 And the one lifting up (bearing) את-their carcases (corpses) shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening): they are unclean to you. 29 And these shall be to you the unclean among the swarmers (creepers) that swarm (creep) upon the Earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise by his kind, 30 and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31 These are the unclean ones to you among all that swarm (creep): anyone that touches on them, in their death, shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening).
Levitcus 15:1 And יהוה spoke to Moses and to Aaron, to say, 2 Speak to the Sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When a man, a man, shall have a discharge (flow) from his flesh of his issue (semen), he shall be unclean. 3 And this, she shall be his uncleanness in his issue (semen): an emission in his flesh of את-his issue (semen), or has stopped his flesh from his issue (semen), she is his uncleanness. 4 Every bed which shall lie upon him the discharge (flow) shall be unclean: and every vessel which shall be sat (dwelt) upon him shall be unclean. 5 And a man who touches on his bed shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in the water, and shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening). 6 And the one sitting (dwelling) upon the vessel which the discharged one (flowed one) had sat (dwelt) upon him shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in the water, and shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening). 7 And the one touching on the flesh of the discharged one (flowed one) shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in the water, and shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening). 8 And if the discharged one (flowed one) shall spit on the clean one; and shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in the water, and shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening). 9 And every saddle which the discharged one (flowed one) shall ride upon him shall be unclean. 10 And anyone that touches on anything which shall be under him shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening): and the one touching them shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in the water, and shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening). 11 And anyone which touches on him the discharged one (flowed one), and his hands were not rinsed in the water, shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in the water, and shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening). 12 And an earthen vessel which shall touch on him the discharged one (flowed one) shall be shever-broken: and every vessel of tree (wood) shall be rinsed in the water.
In the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant), there are a some examples. Two of them are noted in the Gospel of John
John 9:1 And as Yeshua passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Yeshua answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the Works of ELohim should be made manifest in him. 4 I must work the Works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
When Yeshua said this, it was during the Biblical Feast of Sukkoth. It was on the seventh day of Sukkoth when He said that no man can work, which means that the eighth day of the High Shabbath day of the Solemn Assembly was coming.
John 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Shabbath day, (for that Shabbath day was an High Day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
The Preparation Day was Passover, and the Shabbath Day was referring to the first day of the Biblical Feast of Unleavened Bread where there is no service work. Yeshua died at the ninth hour of the "day". The Jews didn't want their bodies up on the crosses when the sun set to start the new Biblical day of the High Shabbath where there is no service work.
The apostle Paul noted this in his letter to the assembly in Ephesus
Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
In other words, the apostle Paul was saying to them to not carry one's wrath into "the new Biblical day" at sundown.
Jonathan Cahn of Beth Israel Worship Center noted this very interesting symbolism comparison that for those who believe the day goes from day to night is symbolically going from "life to death". Whereas the true day from night to day is symbolically going from "death to life", which Yeshua did for all of us by saving us from "death" to bring us to "life". Thank you John.
These examples and premise show strong evidence that the new Biblcial day starts at the mixing period (evening) and not the breaking period (sunrise).
One theory is that the Light was the future location of the sun. This is a rough sketch of an idea what it would look like based on this theory
Another theory is that the light could have came from the location on the Earth itself, and the Light stayed on a certain fixed position while the Earth rotated by the light. This is a rough sketch of an idea what it would look like based on this theory
In my opinion, it is possible that this theory would be more correct, which I will explain.
In comparison to Elohim creating Light, it can be compared to a human fertilized egg, in which after a human egg is fertilized, it could produce a form of light. As a matter of fact, I did not realize this until a few days later after this theory. In an STAT article via us11.campaign-archive.com, from April 26, 2016, under the article "The fireworks of fertilization", it says this:
"This isn’t your typical 4th of July display — when a human egg is fertilized by sperm, there’s a big explosion of zinc “fireworks.” The chemical plays a part in the development of an embryo, starting with fertilization. A new study looks at the zinc sparks that happen when sperm enzymes and egg meet,..."
The egg shoots out zinc, creating "a form of light" like fireworks. This is an image series from their webpage video that shows an infrared image on how it reacts through these zinc sparks
This is an image series from mouse eggs just before they are fertilized through during the fertilization
Also, at nature.com, under their Scientific Reports journal, in an article dated 26 April 2016, titled "The zinc spark is an inorganic signature of human egg activation" says in the Abrstract section:
Egg activation refers to events required for transition of a gamete into an embryo, including establishment of the polyspermy block, completion of meiosis, entry into mitosis, selective recruitment and degradation of maternal mRNA and pronuclear development. Here we show that zinc fluxes accompany human egg activation. We monitored calcium and zinc dynamics in individual human eggs using selective fluorophores following activation with calcium-ionomycin, ionomycin, or hPLCζ cRNA microinjection. These egg activation methods, as expected, induced rises in intracellular calcium levels and also triggered the coordinated release of zinc into the extracellular space in a prominent “zinc spark.” The ability of the gamete to mount a zinc spark response was meiotic-stage dependent. Moreover, chelation of intracellular zinc alone was sufficient to induce cell cycle resumption and transition of a meiotic cell into a mitotic one. Together, these results demonstrate critical functions for zinc dynamics and establish the zinc spark as an extracellular marker of early human development.
In conlcusion, one can say that the Earth receiving the Light is likened unto a fertilized human egg giving off a zinc fireworks display, which in my humble but really strong opinion that it gives seriously strong support that life begins at "conception".

DAY TWO
6 And Elohim said, Be a Firmament (Expanse) in the midst of the waters, and shall be divided (separated, distinguished) [(with division (separation, distinguishment)] between waters to the waters. 7 And Elohim did (made) את-the Firmament (Expanse), and was with division (divided) between the waters which were from under of (by, to) the expanse, and between the waters which were from above to (by) the Firmament (Expanse), and became so. 8 And Elohim called to the Firmament (Expanse), Heavens. And became mixing period (evening), and became breaking period (morning): Second day.
This firmament heavens is our atmospheres, which is between both waters. The upper was a layer of water which was the original canopy, making the earth a "World Wide Green House", before the fall, and the lower is the sea waters.
The second day is the only day of creation that יהוה did not say it was good. He must have known that there would be a major change in the waters, when He destroyed everything on the earth during Noah's time. Also if one thinks of it, hwhy did it to start all over again, to redo a step: day three, when the waters completely covered the earth and later brought forth the dry land. So יהוה made a somewhat redo on day three.

DAY THREE
9 And Elohim said, The waters from under the Heavens, they shall be collected to one place, and the dry place, she shall appear, and became so. 10 And Elohim called to the dry land Earth, and to the collection of the waters were called Seas, and Elohim saw for goodness. 11 And Elohim said, The Earth, she will sprout Sprouts, the Herb shall with the seeding of Seed, and Fruit Trees shall do (make) fruit to his kind which his seed is in him upon the Earth, and became so. 12 And the Earth, she brought out Sprouts, the Herb was with seeding Seed to his kind, and Trees did (made) Fruit which his seed is in him to his kind. And Elohim saw for goodness. 13 And became mixing period (evening), and became breaking period (morning): Third day.
Before the third day, the surface of the earth was completely covered with water. There was not one ounce of dry land on it whatsoever.
hwhy created the Heavens and the Earth on the first day, but He did not call the Heavens its name until the second day, and did not call Earth its name until the third day when it had land. He did not call the Earth its name when it was just a ball of water.
In this week's Torah portion passage, the words "...his seed is in him..." is symbolically "Yeshua" who is the Seed that is in the fruit. Looking at today, has anyone noticed their oranges and watermelons lately? When you purchase some, see how many proper sized seeds you can find. A good amount of them, have "no seeds"? The companies today have been finding ways to take away the seeds, in many ways, saying, that they did it for the people who don't like the frustration of dealing with the seeds. But their real intentions is to take the planting capacity away for us, the individuals, who would want to try to plant them for ourselves and benefit the rewards from them, and control the seeds for themselves. Some food items have already been Genetically Modified, in the abbreviations of GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) and GEI (Genetically Engineered Ingredients), like tomatos, Soy beans, potatos, corn- the four big ones. Now lately, they have introduced a GMO apple that doesn't turn brown as fast. It was shown on a Dr. Oz television show episode. We as a nation, have become less farming oriented, and we need to find a way to get that back. As one will see later, based on what Brad Scott of Wildbranch Ministry said, the obedience of the Torah, or the disobedience of the Torah, effects the agriculture. This act of genetically modifying the seeds is the world's act to genetically modify Yeshua as well, wanting to make themselves elohim. Indirectly related, the apostle Paul noted of mankind's inexcuse to know that Elohim is in the midst, which is noted in the book of Romans
Romans 1:18 For the Wrath of hwhy is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of יהוה is manifest in them; for hwhy hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His Eternal Power and Elohimhead; so that they are without excuse:
This includes the seed in the fruit trees where "...his seed is in him...".

These are maps showing the image of what the lands might have looked like when they were in one land mass before they broke apart. It is known as Pangaea
If one looks at the outlined shape of the united lands, it looks a baby in its stages in the womb
Compare the images side by side
It backs up the premise in Genesis chapter one that "Mother Earth" "birthed" a baby- the large land mass. It did not say "places"- plural, but "one place"- singular. This was one giant land mass, and it was made in the shape of a developing baby. I don't think anyone can say the earth does not know what "she" was making. If only a certain group of people would notice that. Also notice that the baby is revealing the "right side". This would be saying that it is a symbol of Yeshua, the Son of the Right Hand.

The beginning with the Spirit of Elohim moving gently upon the waters to the forming of the land baby could be compared to Mary when she was visited by the Messenger, Gabriel, which is noted in the Gospel of Luke
Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the messenger, Gabriel, was sent from hwhy unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And the messenger came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, יהוה is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the messenger said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with hwhy. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His Name, YESHUA. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and יהוה Elohim shall give unto him the throne of His father, David: 33 And He shall reign over the House of Jacob for ever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end. 34 Then said Mary unto the messenger, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the messenger answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the Power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that Holy Thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of Elohim. 36 And, behold, thy cousin, Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37 For with hwhy nothing shall be impossible. 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of hwhy; be it unto me according to thy word. And the Messenger departed from her.
In my opinion, this would be the second time in Biblical history that the Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) stirred gently upon the waters, in this case, Mary's womb who will form the Flesh of Yeshua.

One can title this "VIRGIN EARTH, VIRGIN BIRTH".
From the third day unto the sixth day of creation, one call call this as building the cells, ligaments, muscles, and the major organs to the land baby.
Notice in verse eleven of this week's Torah portion passage that Elohim only created three things: the shoots, also known as tender grass, the herbs and the fruit trees. One aspect of the shoots, or tender grass, is for a person to lay down, sleep, walk on, sit down on, etc. For Adam and Khavah (Eve) they would be doing these, because they are completely naked. King David emphasized this in the book of the Pslams
Psalm 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
Regarding the herbs, one aspect of the herbs is love, which King Solomon noted in the book of Proverbs
Proverbs 15:17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Another aspect of the herbs is for strength, which the apostle Paul noted in his letter to the assembly in Rome
Romans 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
The fruit trees can be compared to us as believers being trees of righteousness, which is noted by the prophet Isaiah in his book
Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of יהוה, that he might be glorified.
Notice the three items that are mentioned in day three in verses eleven and twelve of this week's Torah portion passage
11 And Elohim said, The Earth, she will sprout sprouts, the herb shall seed seed, and fruit trees shall make fruit to his kind which his seed is in him upon the Earth, and became so. 12 And the Earth, she brought out sprouts, the herb seeded seed to his kind, and trees made fruit which his seed is in him to his kind. And Elohim saw for goodness.
1. The sprouts (which could be also grass)
2. The herbs
3. The fruit trees
What do these three have in common? They make....... CHLOROPHYLL! And what do plants produce when they use chlorophyll?..... OXYGEN! And what is oxygen used for? To keep alive what exists on the Earth, and for the creatures to breathe in order for them to live and stay alive.

Verses fourteen through nineteen
DAY FOUR
14 And Elohim said, Be Lights (Luminaries) in the Firmament (Expanse) of the Heavens for the division (separation, distinguishing) between the Day and between the Night, and shall be for Signs, and for Appointed Times, and for days, and years, 15 and they shall be for Lights (Luminaries) in the Firmament (Expanse) of the Heavens for the lighting upon the Earth. And became so. 16 And Elohim did (made) את-the two Great Lights (Luminaries): את-the Great Light (Luminary) to rule [(for with ruling)] the Day and את-the Small Light (Luminary) to rule [(for with ruling)] the Night, and את the Stars. 17 And Elohim set them in the Firmament (Expanse) of the Heavens for the lighting upon the Earth. 18 And for ruling in (among) the Day and in (among) the Night and for the separation (distinguishing, division) between the Light and between the Darkness, and Elohim saw for goodness. 19 And became mixing period (evening), and became breaking period (morning): Fourth day.
In verse fourteen, the phrase "appointed times" is commonly translated as "seasons".
Looking at the word APPOINTED TIMES
The Hebrew word for appointed times is "moh-eyd"- Mem, Vav, Ayin, Dalet (מועד). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4150. and its definition
From H3259; properly an appointment, that is, a fixed time or season; specifically a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an assembly (as convened for a definite purpose); technically the congregation; by extension, the place of meeting; also a signal (as appointed beforehand): - appointed (sign, time), (place of, solemn) assembly, congregation, (set, solemn) feast, (appointed, due) season, solemn (-ity), synagogue, (set) time (appointed).
from 3259 "yah-ahd"- (יעד), and its definition
A primitive root; to fix upon (by agreement or appointment); by implication to meet (at a stated time), to summon (to trial), to direct (in a certain quarter or position), to engage (for marriage): - agree, (make an) appoint (-ment, a time), assemble (selves), betroth, gather (selves, together), meet (together), set (a time).
This is where we get our modern English word "mode". This is the same word used for יהוה's Appointed High Holy Days, which is noted in the book of Leviticus, in chapter twenty three.
In verse sixteen, indirectly related, the sun and the moon were also used as symbols as the example in Joseph's second dream in the Torah portion of Vay-Yeyshev, in the book of Genesis
Genesis 37:9 And dreamed still (yet) another dream, and accounted him to his brothers, and said, Behold, I have still calm-dreamed a calm-dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and the one ten (oneteen, eleven) stars were bowing to me. 10 And was accounted (scribed, enumerated, scrolled) to his father, and to his brothers: and his father rebuked (reproved) against him, and said to him, What is this calm-dream that you have calm-dreamed? That coming, I and your mother and your brothers, we shall come to bow to you to the Earth?
The sun was Jacob and the moon was his mother.
Also, the sun and the moon were used in the symbol of the woman as Israel in the book of Revelation
Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
This is the one whom the dragon was seeking to destroy.
Indirectly related, to hwhy, a day is as a thousand years, which the Apsotle Peter noted in his epistle
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with יהוה as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Yeshua came to the world on the four thousandth year, which is also to יהוה, the fourth day- The same day as this account, because Yeshua came from "The Heavens" to come down to earth. Yeshua also noted that He is "The Light" of the world, which is noted in the Gospel of John
John 8:12 Then spake Yeshua again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the World: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.
John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am The Light of the World.
Yeshua also spoke these verses in Jerusalem during the Biblical Feast of Sukkoth.
Also, the light of יהוה Will be lighting the earth in the millenial reign, which is noted by the apostle John, in the book of Revelation
Revelation 21:22 And I saw no Temple therein: for יהוה El Shaddai and the Lamb are the Temple of It. 23 And the City had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the Glory of יהוה did lighten It, and the Lamb is The Light thereof.
Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries and Jacob's Tent noted that the Greater Light, which is the sun, symoblizes "the Son", who is "Yeshua". Bill also noted that the Lesser Light, which is the moon does not have its own moon light, but it reflects the light from the sun. Bill noted that the moon symbolized us as believers in Yeshua reflecting Yeshua as the light, and noted what Yeshua said to us a being lights, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.
Thank you, Bill.
One can include these other sources, which are noted in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke
Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Luke 8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
Luke 11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. 34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
Looking at Yeshua as the Light, which is noted in the Gospels of Luke and John
Luke 2:25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen יהוה's Messiah. 27 And he came by the Spirit into the Temple: and when the parents brought in the Child, Yeshua, to do for him after the custom of the Torah, 28 Then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed hwhy, and said, 29 יהוה, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy Word: 30 For mine eyes have seen Thy Salvation, 31 Which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 32 A Light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel. 33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
John 1:4 In Him was Life; and the Life was the Light of men.5 And the Light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended It not.7 The Same came for a Witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through Him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.
John 12:35 Then Yeshua said unto them, Yet a little while is the Light with you. Walk while ye have the Light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have Light, believe in the Light, that ye may be the Children of Light. These things spake Yeshua, and departed, and did hide Himself from them.
John 12:46 I am come a Light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness.
There will be a time though when the sun will be darkened and the moon will not reflect its light, which is noted in the Gospel of Luke
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the Heavens, and the powers of the Heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the Sign of the Son of Man in the Heavens: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of the Heavens with power and great glory. 31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a Trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the Heavens to the other.
This could connect to what the apostle Paul noted, which is noted in his letter to the assembly in Thessalonica
1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Yeshua will hwhy bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Adon, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Adon shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Adon, Himself shall descend from the Heavens with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the Trump of hwhy: and the dead in Messiah shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Adon in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Adon. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
The sun and the moon in Matthew 24:29 could symbolize Yeshua, the sun being darkened, and us as believers in Yeshua, the moon not reflecting the light, meaning that we will not be on the earth through these symbolic events. I don't know if it means "Thee Tribulation", but it is a tribulation, probably tribulations that we have been personally experiencing throughout our lives.

The items not noted in this week's Torah portion passage are the stars and the constellations. The stars are symbolized as us as believers in Yeshua being the spiritual seed of Abraham, which is noted in the Torah portion of Lekh L'kha, in the book of Genesis
Genesis 15:4 And, behold, the Word of יהוה came to him, to say, This shall not be your heir (possessor); for but that shall come out from your bowels, he shall be your heir. 5 And brought him out to the outside, and said, Scan now to the Heavens, and enumerate (scroll, number) the stars, if you be able to enumerate (scroll, number) them: and said to him, So shall be your seed. 6 And believed in יהוה; and was reckoned (regarded) to him for righteousness.
Verses twenty through twenty three
DAY FIVE
20 And Elohim said The waters, they shall swarm swarmers of a living soul, and fliers (birds) shall fly over the Earth upon the face of the Firmament (Expanse) of the Heavens. 21 And Elohim created [(And was the creation of Elohim of)] את-the great sea-monsters, and את all of the living soul of the ones creeping which swarmed the waters [(which the waters, they swarmed)] to their kind, and את every flyer (bird) of wing to his kind. And Elohim saw for goodness. 22 And Elohim blessed them to say Fructify and multiply, and fill את-the Waters in the Seas, and the fliers (birds) shall multiply on the Earth. 23 And became mixing period (evening), and became breaking period (morning): Fifth day.
This is the first time that hwhy made any blessing, but it was not first to a human being, but to the sea monsters and the birds.
Verses twenty four through thirty-one
DAY SIX
24 And Elohim said, The Earth, she shall bring out a living soul to her kind, of animals and the creepers, and his beasts of the Earth to her kind. And became so. 25 And Elohim did (made) את-the beasts of the Earth to her kind, and את-the animals to her kind, and of את all creepers of the Ground to his kind. And Elohim saw for goodness.
26 And Elohim said, We will do (make) Adam in Our Image according to Our Likeness, and shall rule among the fishes of the Sea, and among the birds of the Heavens, and among the animals, and among all of the Earth, and among all creepers that creep upon the Earth. 27 And Elohim created את the Adam in His Image, created him in the Image of Elohim, created them a remembered one (male) and a perforated one (punctured one, female). 28 And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, Fructify and multiply, and fill את-the Earth, and subdue (subject) her; and rule among the fish of the Sea, and among the birds of the Heavens, and among all living beasts that creep upon the Earth. 29 And Elohim said, Behold, I have given to you את-every herb seeding Seed which is upon the face of all of the Earth, and את-every Tree which in him is the Fruit of the Tree seeding Seed, to you shall be for food. 30 And to every beast of the Earth, and to every flier (bird) of the Heavens, and to every creeper upon the Earth which in him is a living soul, את-every Green Herb shall be for food, and became so. 31 And Elohim saw את-all which was done (made), and behold were much goodness. And became mixing period (evening), and became breaking period (morning): Sixth day.
This is the first time that anything created was referred to "her kind", meaning the Earth's kind since the Earth is female. Also this is the second time יהוה blessed anything, in this case to Adam and Khavah (I guess there is nothing wrong being "second blessed"). This is the first time that hwhy spoke to say that "They" are going to make something in this seven day creation, meaning that They were coming down to the Earth. In using Their Hands, They formed a man in their own likeness from the ground.

Looking at the word ADAM
The Hebrew word for Adam is "Ah-dahm"- Aleph, Dalet, Mem Sophit (אדם). It is from Strong's Concordance number 120. and its definition
From H119; ruddy, that is, a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.): - X another, + hypocrite, + common sort, X low, man (mean, of low degree), person.
from 119 "ah-dahm"- (אדם), and its definition
To show blood (in the face), that is, flush or turn rosy: - be (dyed, made) red (ruddy).
There are those who are saying that, in many words, יהוה is a slow poke, and stupid. Men cannot comprehend יהוה's invincible power. He could destroy the entire earth in a twinkling of an eye by one spoken word if He wanted to. All He has to do is say it and it is done. In other words, the six days of creation was not done in a multi-million year time span, but in six twenty four hour days of the week.
I have heard that the six days of creation occurred in the seventh Biblical month of Ethanim/Tishrei, because the Jews believe that the new Biblical year is on the seventh Biblical month. But it is in my humble, but strong opinion, that the first six days of creation occurred in the first Biblical month of Aviv/Nissan, because in my teaching "Rosh Hashanah, the Biblical New Year?", I gave strong and concrete scriptural proof that the new Biblical year occurrs in the first Biblical month of Aviv/Nissan.

ROSH HASHANAH, THE BIBLICAL NEW YEAR?
CHAPTER 2
Genesis 2:1-25
Gen 2:1 And the Heavens and the Earth and all of their host (armies), they were finished. 2 And in the seventh day, Elohim finished His work which was done (made), and reposed (desisted, rested, relaxed, shabbated) on the seventh day from all of His work which was done (made). 3 And Elohim blessed את-the seventh day and sanctified him, for in him had reposed (desisted, rested, relaxed, shabbated) from all of His work, which Elohim created for the doing (making).
4 These are the births (generations) of the Heavens and the Earth, in their creation, in the day of יהוה Elohim doing (making) Earth and Heavens. 5 And every shrub (shoot) of the field was intermittent (not yet, was suspended, was interrupted) on the Earth, and every herb of the field had intermittently (not yet, suspendedly, was interruptily) sprouted [(was before sprouting)], for יהוה Elohim had not did (made) mater-rain upon the Earth, and Adam was not to the service of את-the Ground. 6 And a mist (vapor) ascended from the Earth, and quaffed (watered, soaked) את-all of the Face of the Ground. 7 And יהוה Elohim formed (fashioned, molded) את-the Adam of dust from the Ground, and blew (puffed) in his nostrils the Breath (Blast) of Life, and became the Adam of a living soul.
8 And יהוה Elohim planted a Garden in Eden from the East, and put (set) there את-the Adam which was formed (fashioned, molded). 9 And יהוה Elohim sprouted from the Ground every pleasant (delightful) Tree for sight (appearance), and goodness for food; and the Tree of Life was in the midst of the Garden, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and the Evil.
10 And a river (stream) went out from Eden for the quaffing (irrigating, soaking, watering) of את-the Garden, and split (separated) from there, and became of four heads: 11 the name of one was Pishon, he is the one surrounding (circumventing) את all of the Earth of the Havilah which there is the gold, 12 and the gold of that Earth was good. There is the bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon, he is the one surrounding (circumventing) את all of the land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Hiddekel, he is the one going east at Assyria, and the fourth river, he is the Euphrates.
15 And יהוה Elohim took את-the Adam and deposited (settled) him in the Garden of Eden to serve her and to guard (observe, take heed of) her. 16 And יהוה Elohim commanded upon the Adam, to say, From every tree of the Garden, eating, you shall eat, 17 and from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and the Evil you shall not eat of him, for in the day of your eating from him, dying, you shall die.
18 And יהוה Elohim said, Is not good of the Adam by his aloneness. I will do (make) for him a helper as his counterpart (opposite). 19 And from the Ground, יהוה Elohim formed (fashioned, molded) every beast of the field and את every flyer (bird) of the Heavens, and were brought to the Adam to see what shall be called to him, and all which the Adam shall call to him of a living soul, that was his name. 20 And the Adam called names to all of the animals, and to the flyer (bird) of the Heavens, and to every beast of the field. And a helper was not found as his counterpart (opposite) for Adam.
21 And יהוה Elohim had fallen a deep sleep (stupor sleep) upon the Adam, and slept, And took one of his ribs, and closed up (enclosed) the flesh undeneath her. 22 And יהוה Elohim built את-the rib which was taken from the Adam of a woman, and brought her to the Adam. 23 And the Adam said, This now (this time), this is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. For this shall be called Woman, for this was taken out from man, 24 upon thus shall a man leave את-his father and את-his mother and shall cling on his wife, and they shall be for (to, of) one flesh, 25 and the Adam and his woman, both of them, they were naked, and they were not ashamed.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)
DAY SEVEN
Verses one through three
1 And the Heavens and the Earth and all of their host (armies), they were finished. 2 And in the seventh day, Elohim finished His work which was done (made), and reposed (desisted, rested, relaxed, shabbated) on the seventh day from all of His work which was done (made). 3 And Elohim blessed את-the seventh day and sanctified him, for in him had reposed (desisted, rested, relaxed, shabbated) from all of His work, which Elohim created for the doing (making).
This was יהוה's third blessing in the first seven days of life, and it was The Shabbath, a non-physical creation event. (One could jokingly say "a third time blessing was a charm" :) )
Looking at the phrase in verse three, "for in him had rested from all of His work", meaning the Shabbath, is a hint that the Shabbath is "the Lord of the Shabbath", who is Yeshua, as noted in the Gospel of Luke
Luke 6:5 And He said unto them, That the Son of Man is Lord also of the Shabbath.
Replacing "him" with "Yeshua", this is what it would say in this week's Torah portion passage verse:
3 And Elohim blessed את-the seventh day and sanctified him, for in him had reposed (desisted, rested, relaxed, shabbated) from all of His work, which Elohim created for the doing (making).
Looking at the word DESISTED (RESTED, RELAXED)
The Hebrew word for desisted (rested, relaxed) is "shav-vath"- Shin, Bet, Tav (שבת). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7673, and its definition
A primitive root; to repose, that is, desist from exertion; used in many implied relations (causatively, figuratively or specifically): - (cause to, let, make to) cease, celebrate, cause (make) to fail, keep (sabbath), suffer to be lacking, leave, put away (down), (make to) rest, rid, still, take away.
Mainly, the Hebrew word "Shabbath" is an act to "cease" from acts, like working, which is also "desisting" from laboring. It is like a rest from labors, but it is an act of "restraining" from laboring or working.
Regarding the seven days, Billye Brim of Billye Brim Ministries, and Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries, and others who I can't recall, made notes of the connections of the first seven words of Genesis 1:1 to the seven days and the 7,000 years:
B'reyshith (בראשית): 1st Day of Creation; 1st 1000 years- beginning of the populous
Bara (ברא): 2nd Day of Creation; 2nd 1000 years- Noah separated from the world, creation of nations, Abraham separated from the nations to create a nation. Also the land was divided in the creation of lands during this second millenium
Genesis 10:25 And to Eber birthed two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the Earth divided;...
Elohim (אלהים): 3rd Day of Creation; 3rd 1000 years- Israel sprouted as a united nation via David and Solomon. Israel, in the negative end, sprouted through exile and dispersion throughout the earth.
Aleph-Tav (את): 4th Day of Creation; 4th 1000 years- Yeshua came to the world- the Aleph and the Tav (Alpha and Omega in Greek), Christianity/Messianics formed.
Hashamayim (השמים): 5th Day of Creation; 5th 1000 years- Religious societies formed, but people accepting and receiving Yeshua as the Messiah.
V'Aleph-Tav (ואת): 6th Day of Creation; 6th 1000 years- The connection between the heavens and the earth. The Vav is a Paleo-Hebrew picture of a nail, hence Yeshua is in the heavens and we, the believers, are on the earth. Yeshua is the nail that connects us to Him. It can also applied to the end times of the mark of the beast, because HaSatan wants to prevent the people from going into the seven thousandth year of hwhy's millenial rest
Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
This is also the period where the scriptures are being printed and produced in all languages for the people, the gentiles, as well as the natural branches on the earth. Just in the past half century, there has been a movement of going back to the Hebraic Roots of the faith.
Ha'arets (הארץ): 7th Day of Creation; 7th 1000 years- The Shabbath Day, The Millenial Reign Yeshua is on the earth where there shall be 1000 years of rest on the earth.
I have yet to find the episode that gives more detail on some of the days. When I find it, I will edit this.
Looking at this structure of a Roman Calendar from January 2018
If one could see its structure, the first seven days of the week fits in the first row of the seven blocks of the calendar. It shows that the seventh day of January falls on Saturday. If we went by the Biblical Calendar, it will fit properly for the seventh day to fall on the seventh block in the first row, which would be the Shabbath day, unlike the typical seventh Gregorian Calendar day to fall on a Sunday which they call the end of the Gregorian week, but located on the first block of the seven day block structure, which structurally doesn't make sense.
Verses four through seven
4 These are the births (generations) of the Heavens and the Earth, in their creation, in the day of יהוה Elohim doing (making) Earth and Heavens. 5 And every shrub (shoot) of the field was intermittent (not yet, was suspended, was interrupted) on the Earth, and every herb of the field had intermittently (not yet, suspendedly, was interruptily) sprouted [(was before sprouting)], for יהוה Elohim had not did (made) mater-rain upon the Earth, and Adam was not to the service of את-the Ground. 6 And a mist (vapor) ascended from the Earth, and quaffed (watered, soaked) את-all of the Face of the Ground. 7 And יהוה Elohim formed (fashioned, molded) את-the Adam of dust from the Ground, and blew (puffed) in his nostrils the Breath (Blast) of Life, and became the Adam of a living soul.
In verse four, in the Hebrew text, in the English phrase "in their creation" is the Hebrew "b'hee-baram" (בהבראם), but in this Hebrew word, the letter Heh is written smaller than the others
I have read and heard the meanings this small letter Heh, but it did not sound satisfactory to me. I can only think that based on the context of this verse is that the letter Heh is a Paleo-Hebrew picture of revelation and a man. In my humble opinion, this to me is telling me that it is a symbolic prophecy in the future that someone unique will be coming to the creation. This was the future Messiah, Yeshua. Though, Yeshua already came the first time, He will be coming to the creation of the earth a second time.
In verse seven, Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries made note that the the word "formed" is the Hebrew word "vay-yeetsar"- Vav, Yod, Yod, Tsade, Resh (וייצר). Mark points out that this Hebrew word has two Yods as compare to verse nineteen's Hebrew word formed with only one Yod (ויצר), because, according to Mark, the letter Yod is a Paleo-Hebrew picture of a hand. And since there are two Yods in this word, Mark says that hwhy used His "two hands" to form Adam. Also in verse seven, which Mark didn't mention, is the word Lives. The Hebrew word for Lives is "Khay-yeem"- Khet, Yod, Yod, Mem Sophit (חיים), which has two Yods, as compared to the normal one (חים). This shows us that it is not "life"- singular, but "lives"- plural. The question is "Why is this so?" Because for this case, it reprsents that "lives" does not mean the fruit is for just Adam, but for his descendants as well.
Verses eight and nine
8 And יהוה Elohim planted a Garden in Eden from the East, and put (set) there את-the Adam which was formed (fashioned, molded). 9 And יהוה Elohim sprouted from the Ground every pleasant (delightful) Tree for sight (appearance), and goodness for food; and the Tree of Life was in the midst of the Garden, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and the Evil.
In my humble but strong opinion, this was done on the sixth day of Creation.
This was Elohim's second act on Earth by planting the Garden of Eden.
!!!כבד לך יהוה
In my humble, but strong opinion, יהוה took the "seeds" from the plants and the trees and planted the seeds to create a garden in Eden, and also in my humble, but strong opinion, Yeshua was the one who planted the garden in Eden.
!!!כבד לך יהוה
Yeshua could have made notion of His act in planting seeds in the garden in Eden to the Parable of the Sower, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 13:1 The same day went Yeshua out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto Him, so that He went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3 And He spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
There are those who say that the Garden of Eden is located in ancient Babylon
But this is what it says in the book of the prophet Daniel
Ezekiel 28:11 Moreover the Word of hwhy came unto me, saying, 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith Adonai hwhy; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13 Thou hast been in Eden, the Garden of Elohim; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art את-the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the Holy Mountain of Elohim; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the Mountain of Elohim: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
In context, the Garden of Eden "is" the Holy Mountain of יהוה, meaning "Jerusalem", as it's noted in the book of the prophet Joel
Joel 2:1 Blow ye the shofar in Zion, and sound an alarm in My Holy Mountain [Jerusalem]: let all of the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the Day of hwhy cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
The Garden of Eden and the Holy Mountain was and is the same place that the King of Tyrus visited. This give us concrete proof that the Garden of Eden is "Jerusalem".
!!!כבד לך יהוה
Also, according to Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries, Eden is located in the land of Israel, The Garden of Eden is located in Jerusalem and The Tree of Life is located in the Temple Mount at the Holy of Holies where the temple stood.
If we compare to a modern map of the world and the location of Jerusalem, Israel, on one of the maps of Pangaea of the "land baby" earlier, it would be located around the front of the throat, if not "the Adam's Apple" (hint, hint) of the land baby which is shown below
I give יהוה the glory for revealing this to me. We have settled the location of the Tree of Life. But what about the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? After studying, this is what I was led to find, and it is based in the Gospel of Luke
Luke 23:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 Then said Yeshua, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted His Raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the People stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided Him, saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He be Messiah, the Chosen of יהוה.
36 And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him, and offering Him vinegar, 37 And saying, If Thou be the King of the Jews, save Thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on Him, saying, If Thou be the Messiah, save Thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear hwhy, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this Man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Yeshua, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom. 43 And Yeshua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise.
This is what יהוה showed me: Hopefully, everyone knows by now that Yeshua and the two men beside Him were crucified at the Mount of Olives. The two men can represent more than one meaning, which I call in musical terms "Harmonic Overtones", but in scriptural case "Biblical Harmonic Overtones"- in example, the House of Judah and the Northern House of Israel. In this case, the two men were representations of "the Half of the Tree of Evil", where the man say to Yeshua to save Himself and them, and "the Half of the Tree of Good", where the other man told Yeshua that they deserved their punishment, but Yeshua was innocent, and asked Yeshua to remember him when He enters into His Kingdom, and was rewarded to be with Yeshua in Paradise. Then I asked hwhy the $64,000 question, "Is the place where the three men were crucified, the location of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?" And the answer that came to me was "Yes", and the basis of the proof is revealed in the apostle John's book of Revelation
Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the Temple of hwhy, and the Altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the Court which is without the Temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the Holy City shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3 And I will give power unto My two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two menorahs standing before the Elohim of the earth. 5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the Great City, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Yeshua was crucified at the Mount of Olives, which is part of Jerusalem. Thank you John.
This is the same map of Jerusalem above including the location of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, where Yeshua and the two men were crucified

Is there a possibility of a little more evidence to backup this premise? I will reveal it later in this week's Torah portion.
Perry Stone of Perry Stone Ministries noted this possibility regarding what was buried at the Mount of Olives based on this account, which is noted in the book of the prophet Samuel
1 Samuel 17:54 And David took את-the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
Based on Perry Stone's notion, it is possible that Goliath's skull was buried at the Mount of Olives. Also, based on my notion that it is possible that when Yeshua was crucified on the cross that He was crucified directly above the skull of Goliath. I will explain later in the next chapter.
In recent days, giving the glory to יהוה, the latest realization to me in my humble but strong opinion is that the Tree of Life was an "Almond Tree", and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil could have been the "Fig Tree". In regards to the Almond Tree, we receive hints of it via the Torah. One source is noted in the Torah portion of Korakh, in the book of Numbers
Numbers 17:1 And יהוה spoke to Moses, to say, 2 Speak to the Sons of Israel, and shall take a staff (rod, branch) from them, a staff (rod, branch) for the house of the father, from את all of their rulers by the house of their fathers, two ten (twoteen, twelve) staves (rods, branches): you shall write a man of את-his name upon his staff (rod, branch). 3 And you shall write את the name of Aaron upon the staff (rod, branch) of Levi: for one staff (rod, branch) is for the head of the house of their fathers. 4 And you shall rest (deposit) them in the Tent of Appointment to the face of the Testimony (Witness), which I will appoint to you there. 5 And it shall be, the man which I shall choose among him, his staff (rod, branch) shall blossom (bloom, bud, break forth): and I shall allay (pacify) from upon (over) Me את-the murmurings (grudgings, complaints) of the Sons of Israel, which they, they were with murmuring (grudging, complaining) upon you. 6 And Moses spoke to the Sons of Israel, and all of their rulers, they gave to him a staff (rod, branch) for one ruler, a staff (rod, branch) for one ruler, for the house of their fathers, two ten (twoteen, twelve) staves (rods, branches): and the staff (rod, branch) of Aaron was in the midst of the staves (rods, branches). 7 And Moses rested (deposited) את-the staves (rods, branches) to the Face of יהוה in the Tent of the Testimony (Witness).
8 And was from the morrow, and Moses came to the Tent of the Testimony (Witness); and behold, the staff (rod, branch) of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed (bloomed, budded, broke forth), and had came out blossoms (blooms, buds, calyxes), and flourished a flower, and had ripened (yielded) almonds. 9 And Moses brought out את-all of the staves (rods, branches) from of the Face of יהוה to all of the Sons of Israel: and they looked, and they took a man his staff (rod, branch).
10 And hwhy said to Moses, Return את-Aaron's staff (rod, branch) to the face of the Testimony (Witness) to be guarded (kept, observed, heeded) for a Sign to the Sons of Rebellion; and you shall finish (end) their murmurings (grudges, complaints) from upon Me, and they shall not die.
Another source is noted in the Torah portions of T'rumah and Vay-Yak-heyl, in the book of Exodus
Leviticus 25:31 And you shall do (make) a Menorah of pure gold: the Menorah, she shall be done (made) of beaten work (hammered work): her Base (Shaft, Trunk, Thigh, Loin, ?Testacle?), and her Branches, her Goblets (Calyxes, Cups), her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Blossoms, Buds), they shall be from her. 32 And six Branches shall go out (come out) from her sides; three Branches of the Menorah from her one side [(the one side from her)], and three Branches of the Menorah from her second side [(the second side from her)]: 33 Three Goblets (Calyxes, Cups) from Almond-Like Shapes, a Knob (?Wreath?), and a Flower shall from her one Branch (the one Branch of her); and three Goblets (Calyxes, Bowls) from Almond-Like Shapes, a Knob (?Wreath?), and a Flower (Bloom, Blossom, Bud) shall be in her one Branch [(the one Branch of her)]: so for the six Branches that are going out (coming out) from the Menorah. 34 And on the Menorah shall be four Almond-Like Shapes, her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Blossoms, Buds). 35 And shall be a Knob (?Wreath?) under two Branches from her, and a Knob (?Wreath?) under two Branches from her, and a Knob (?Wreath?) under two Branches from her, to the six Branches that are going out (coming out) from the Menorah. 36 Their Knobs (?Wreaths?) and their Branches from her, they shall be all of her one of beaten work (hammered work) of pure gold.
Leviticus 37:17 And he did (made) את-the Menorah of pure gold: of beaten (hammered) work did (made) את-the Menorah; her Shaft Base (Shaft, Trunk, Thigh, Loin, ?Testacle?), and her Branches, her Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets), her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Blossoms, Buds), they were from her: 18 And six Branches going out from her sides; three Branches of the Menorah from her one side, and three Branches of the Menorah from her second side: 19 Three Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets) with Almond-Like Bowls (Almond-Like Shapes) were in her one Branch [(the one Branch of her)], a Knob (?Wreath?) and a Flower (Bloom, Blossom, Bud); and three Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets) with Almond-Like Bowls (Almond-Like Shapes) were in her one Branch [(the one Branch of her)], a Knob (?Wreath?) and a Flower (Bloom, Blossom, Bud): so for the six Branches going out from the Menorah. 20 And in the Menorah were four Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets) with Almond-Like Bowls (Almond-Like Shapes), her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Blossoms, Buds): 21 And a Knob (?Wreath?) under the two Branches from her, and a Knob (?Wreath?) under the two Branches from her, and a Knob (?Wreath?) under the two Branches from her, to the six Branches that were going out from her. 22 Their Knobs (?Wreaths?) and their Branches from her: they were all of her one beaten work (hammered work) of pure gold.
Based on these Scripture sources, יהוה was showing us that the Almond Tree is in connection to the Priesthood as He wanted since Adam was created, and there is enough speculation that the Tree of Life was an Almond Tree.
!!!כבד לך יהוה
יהוה's Plan A was to make all of Israel a Nation of Priests, which is noted in the Torah portion of Yithro, in the book of Genesis
Exodus 19:1 In the third renewed month, on this day to the going out of the Sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, they came at the Wilderness of Sinai. 2 And they journeyed (pulled up) from Rephidim, and they came at the Wilderness of Sinai, and they camped at the wilderness; and Israel camped there before (at the front of) the Mountain. 3 And Moses ascended her to The Elohim, and יהוה called to him from the mountain, to say, Thus you shall say to the House of Jacob, and you shall tell (declare) to the Sons of Israel; 4 You, you have seen which I did to Egypt, and I have bore (carried, lifted up) you upon wings of eagles, and I brought you to Me. 5 And now, if listening, you will listen in My Voice, and you will guard (observe, heed) את-My Covenant, and you shall be to Me a Special Treasure (Jewel, Peculiar Treasure) from all of the peoples: for all of the Earth belongs to Me: 6 And you, you shall be to Me a Kingdom of Priests, and a Sacred (Holy) Nation. These are the Words which you shall speak to the Sons of Israel.
But as history has shown, they made the golden calf, and יהוה went to Plan A Alternative which was to make the Levites Priests. In a way יהוה made a way to get back to Plan A, through Yeshua, the Messiah, that we as believers are a Kingdom of Priests, which is noted by the apostle Peter in his epistle and by the apostle John in the book of Revelation
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him Who Is, and Who Was, and Who is to Come; and from the seven Spirits which are before His Throne; 5 And from Yeshua Messiah, who is the Faithful Witness, and the First Begotten of the Dead, and the Prince of the Kings of the Earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own Blood, 6 nd hath made us kings and priests unto Elohim and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
יהוה's original intention from the beginning with Adam was for him to be a "Priest of the Garden of Eden" with wis wife.
Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries made an interesting connection to this account in the Gospel of John
John 20:11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, 12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the Body of Yeshua had lain. 13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him. 14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Yeshua standing, and knew not that it was Yeshua. 15 Yeshua saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing Him to be the gardener, saith unto Him, Sir, if Thou have borne Him hence, tell me where Thou hast laid Him, and I will take Him away.
It is interesting that the apostle John is the only one in the Gospels that made account of this, because even if Mary thought that Yeshua was a gardener, Yeshua was "the Gardener", in fact, He was and is "the First Gardener" in world's history. The apostle John had to have known this, or was told by Yeshua about it based on this Torah portion chapter in verse eight of this week's Torah portion passage, because hwhy/Yeshua came to the earth and dirtied His own hands and actually worked on the earth to plant a garden.
This is proven when Yeshua revealed the Jewish leaders of the day were symbolically attacking the prophets and Yeshua in this parable which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 21:33 Hear another Parable: There was a certain Householder, which planted a Vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, He sent His servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And the husbandmen took His servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, He sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all He sent unto them His Son, saying, They will reverence My Son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the Son, they said among themselves, This is the Heir; come, let us kill Him, and let us seize on His inheritance. 39 And they caught Him, and cast Him out of the Vineyard, and slew Him. 40 When the Lord therefore of the Vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto Him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out His Vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render Him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Yeshua saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, The Stone which the builders rejected, the Same is become the Head of the Corner: this is יהוה's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The Kingdom of יהוה shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this Stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45 And when the Chief Priests and Pharisees had heard His Parables, they perceived that He spake of them. 46 But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitude, because they took Him for a Prophet.
Yeshua was saying, in many words, that יהוה, whom Yeshua was, planted a vineyard in Jerusalem, and sent servants, a.k.a. the prophets, which the Jewish people killed. And now, His Son, Yeshua, is there, and the Jewish leaders would kill Him later during the Feast of Passover.

In verse nine of this week's Torah portion passage, in the Hebrew text, the word for Lives is "Khay-yeem"- Khet, Yod, Yod, Mem Sophit (חיים). Notice it also has two Yods, as normally compared to the Hebrew word having only one Yod (Myx), as mentioned earlier for the Breath of Lives. It also occurs in chapter three, verses twenty two and twenty four, where the tree's title is stated. This is also relevant to the Spirit of Life, by revealing to us that the fruit of this tree doesn't only apply to Adam, but to his descendants as well. This is what Temple Beth Sholom, in Hamden, Conncecticut, in their article "Why Is Hayyim a Collective/Plural Noun? or Life Doesn’t Have To Be Perfect To Be Wonderful" says regarding khay-yeem:
"Hayyim means life, singular, but in a sense it is a plural noun, meaning “lives,” and in another sense it’s a collective noun, meaning “Life” in general."

In regards to the fig tree was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the only sources we have is from this week's Torah portion, and Yeshua's accounts of the Fig Tree, which is noted in the Gospels of Matthew and John
Genesis 3:6 And the woman saw for goodness was the tree for food [(for the tree for food was for goodness)], and that he was desirable (longing, lusting) to the eyes, and the tree was pleasant (delighting) to make one skillful (prudent): and she took of his fruit, and she ate, and she gave also to her husband with her; and she ate. 7 And opened her the eyes of both of them, and they knew for they were naked; and they sewed leaves (foliage) of the fig tree, and they did (made) for themselves aprons (girdles).
Matthew 21:18 Now in the morning as He returned into the city, He hungered. 19 And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21 Yeshua answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
John 1:47 Yeshua saw Nathanael coming to Him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 48 Nathanael saith unto Him, Whence knowest Thou me? Yeshua answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
I don't have enough proof, but I'm still looking into it.

Verses ten through fifteen
10 And a river (stream) went out from Eden for the quaffing (irrigating, soaking, watering) of את-the Garden, and split (separated) from there, and became of four heads: 11 the name of one was Pishon, he is the one surrounding (circumventing) את all of the Earth of the Havilah which there is the gold, 12 and the gold of that Earth was good. There is the bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon, he is the one surrounding (circumventing) את all of the land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Hiddekel, he is the one going east at Assyria, and the fourth river, he is the Euphrates.
15 And יהוה Elohim took את-the Adam and deposited (settled) him in the Garden of Eden to serve her and to guard (observe, take heed of) her.
Looking at the word SERVE
The Hebrew word for serve is "ah-vahd"- Ayin, Bet, Dalet (עבד). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5647, and its definition
A primitive root; to work (in any sense); by implication to serve, till, (causatively) enslave, etc.: - X be, keep in bondage, be bondmen, bond-service, compel, do, dress, ear, execute, + husbandman, keep, labour (-ing man), bring to pass, (cause to, make to) serve (-ing, self), (be, become) servant (-s), do (use) service, till (-er), transgress [from margin], (set a) work, be wrought, worshipper.
The word also translates to till and work, but in it is a generality term, meaning to do service for the garden, including to till it. The purpose to serve and to keep is what a man should also do for his spouse- to serve her and to keep her, like Yeshua, the Bridegroom, does for His bride. Also this is what we in Yeshua have to do with the Torah- to serve "her" and to keep "her", for the Torah is feminine.
The people of this world were dominantly farmers since mankind began, until the last half century. According to Brad Scott of Wildbranch Ministry, fifty years ago, the agricultural society in the United States was about 25 percent, but today, it is only one percent. We lost our agricultural mindset, and the Bible is based on "agriculture", as it has been proved in these first two chapters.
It is of my opinion that יהוה brought Adam to the Garden from the east, and that Adam was made east of the Garden of Eden.
After studying, giving the glory to hwhy, it is possible that the land baby based on the current locations of the areas on the earth today is this:
Eden: Israel
Gihon: Havilah (land of Arabia)- This is where the mouth is located.
Pishon: Cush (land of Etheopia)- This is where the belly is located.
Hiddekel and Euphrates: (land of Iraq)- These are where the nostrils are located.

Also notice that based on the image it would make sense for the river to flow towards the east and divide into four rivers along the destinations that were noted in this week's Torah portion passage.
The gold, bdellium and the onyx stones noted in verses ten through twelve of this week's Torah portion passage have symbolic meanings:
Gold: Eternalness of Yeshua
Bdellium: The Blood of Yeshua
Onyx Stones: The High Priesthood of Yeshua Bearing the two Onyx Stones on His Shoulders

The Hebrew word for split (separate) is "pah-rahd"- Peh, Resh, Dalet (פרד). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6504, and its definition
A primitive root; to break through, that is, spread or separate (oneself): - disperse, divide, be out of joint, part, scatter (abroad), separate (self), sever self, stretch, sunder.
This is where we get our modern English word "parade" from.
Looking at the word GIHON
The Hebrew word for Giohon is "Gee-khohn"- Gimel, Yod, Khet, Vav, Nun Sophit (גיחון). It is from Strong's Concordance number 1521, and its definition
From H183 (abbreviated); a longing; by implication a delight (subjectively satisfaction, objectively a charm): - dainty, desire, X exceedingly, X greedily, lust (ing), pleasant. See also H6914.
from 1518 "goh-akh" or "gee-akh (גח, גיח), and its definition
A primitive root; to gush forth (as water), generally to issue: - break forth, labor to bring forth, come forth, draw up, take out.
There is also a similar Hebrew word not noted here which in my opinion would make proper connection:
from 1518 "gah-khone" (גחון), and its definition
Probably from H1518; the external abdomen, belly (as the source of the foetus (compare H1521)): - belly.
This would make a great connection to this river after finding the meaning of the Hebrew word, which is noted by the apostle John in his Gospel:
John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the Feast, Yeshua stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of Living Water. 39 (But this spake He of the Ruakh (the Spirit), which they that believe on him should receive: for the Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Ghost) was not yet given; because that Yeshua was not yet glorified.)
We as following believers in Yeshua, the Messiah have the Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) which is the Liver Water flowing through us.

Verses sixteen through twenty
16 And יהוה Elohim commanded upon the Adam, to say, From every tree of the Garden, eating, you shall eat, 17 and from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and the Evil you shall not eat of him, for in the day of your eating from him, dying, you shall die.
18 And יהוה Elohim said, Is not good of the Adam by his aloneness. I will do (make) for him a helper as his counterpart (opposite). 19 And from the Ground, יהוה Elohim formed (fashioned, molded) every beast of the field and את every flyer (bird) of the Heavens, and were brought to the Adam to see what shall be called to him, and all which the Adam shall call to him of a living soul, that was his name. 20 And the Adam called names to all of the animals, and to the flyer (bird) of the Heavens, and to every beast of the field. And a helper was not found as his counterpart (opposite) for Adam.
In verses sixteen and seventeen, of all the "goodness" of the earth, יהוה puts in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Why did He do that, and why was it necessary for Him to put it there? Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that Adam couldn't cut it down. Why? Because Mark Biltz says that it was "יהוה's property", as if he was saying, in Mark's words from M.C. Hammer, "You can't touch this", and he says that it was a reminder to him that there is Someone [else above] besides him, and that there is "a Higher Authority" over Adam, as well as mankind to answer to. Also, the purpose יהוה did this, is to say that "hwhy exists", by making Adam realize that there is someone there whom he could, and at times need to, as Mark Biltz says, to answer to, and it is "יהוה". Thank you Mark.
In verse twenty of this week's Torah portion passage, Adam was performing his role on earth, by calling the names of the animals, as hwhy did in the Kingdom of Heaven: calling the names of the elements of the heavens and the earth. This was Adam's version of hwhy's smallest molecule of "the invisible spoken word". The key was, and is still today, that things, names, locations are created through "the invisible word".
Verses twenty-one through twenty five
21 And יהוה Elohim had fallen a deep sleep (stupor sleep) upon the Adam, and slept, And took one of his ribs, and closed up (enclosed) the flesh undeneath her. 22 And יהוה Elohim built את-the rib which was taken from the Adam of a woman, and brought her to the Adam. 23 And the Adam said, This now (this time), this is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. For this shall be called Woman, for this was taken out from man, 24 upon thus shall a man leave את-his father and את-his mother and shall cling on his wife, and they shall be for (to, of) one flesh, 25 and the Adam and his woman, both of them, they were naked, and they were not ashamed.
Looking at the word ONE
The Hebrew word for one is "ah-khath"- Aleph, Khet, Tav (אחת). It is from Strong's Concordance number 259, and its definition
A numeral from H258; properly united, that is, one; or (as an ordinal) first: - a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any (-thing), apiece, a certain [dai-] ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.
from 258 "ah-khad"- Aleph, Khet, Dalet (אחד), which was noted earlier.
This shows us that the rib is "feminine".
Elohim also became "The Great Developer" in making something on top of what Elohim made, by taking one of Adam's ribs and formed it to a woman. This is the third time that Elohim made something on the Earth by Their own Hands.

Indirectly related, their unashamed nakedness, in verse twenty five is similar to being unashamed of the Gospel. The aposte Paul noted in his letters to the assembly in Rome and to Timothy
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Messiah: for it is the Power of יהוה unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
2 Timothy 1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the Testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the Gospel according to the Power of hwhy;
Adam and Eve were not ashamed of their nakedness before the fall, as we should not be ashamed of the Gospel of Messiah.
Looking at the following word NAKED
The Hebrew word for naked is "ah-rohm"- Ayin, Resh, Vav, Mem Sophit (ערום). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6174, and its definition
From H6191 (in its original sense); nude, either partially or totally: - naked.
from 6191 "ah-rahm" (ערם), and its definition
A primitive root; properly to be (or make) bare; but used only in the derived sense (through the idea perhaps of smoothness) bo be cunning (usually in a bad sense): - X very, beware, take crafty [counsel], be prudent, deal subtilly.
This Hebrew word will be more "revealing" in the next chapter.
In verse twenty-one of this week's Torah portion passage, before יהוה took one of his ribs, יהוה had to "open" his flesh to get the rib. What does that mean? It means that when יהוה opened Adam's flesh on his side, there was most likely "blood" coming out from him, meaning that this would be the first true account that blood came on the Earth. If this is correct, this account can be compared this other account. Giving praise to יהוה, יהוה revealed to me this comparison to this week's Torah portion account, which is noted in the Gospel of John
John 19:30 When Yeshua therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and He bowed His Head, and gave up the Ghost. 31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Shabbath day, (for that Shabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Yeshua, and saw that He was dead already, they brake not His Legs: 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His Side, and forthwith came there out Blood and Water.
When Yeshua died, this was equivalently comparable to Adam being put to a deep sleep. When the Roman soldier pierced His Side, blood and water came out of Him. This was equivalently comparable to Adam's side being opened. Though it did not say it in this week's Torah portion account, but since Adam was a fully developed man having all the body needs to function including "blood". When Elohim opened up the side of Adam's side, it can be accepted that blood and water was shed out of Adam's flesh. When Adam's rib was removed, though physically it didn't occur with Yeshua, one can say that Yeshua's "Spiritual Rib" was removed which would symbolize us as following believers in Yeshua being the Spiritual Rib that is continuously being built for these past roughly two thousand years. We as following believers in Yeshua are His Spiritual Counterparts and Spiritual Helpmates doing His Work, because we are His Spiritual Bride.

CHAPTER 3
Genesis 3:1-24
Gen 3:1 And the serpent was subtle (cunning, crafty) than any beast of the field which hwhy Elohim made, and said to the woman, For Elohim said, Also (Even) you shall not eat from every tree of the Garden? 2 And the woman, she said to the serpent, From the Fruit of the Trees of the Garden we may eat: 3 and from the Fruit of the Tree which is in the midst of the Garden, Elohim said, You shall not eat him, and you shall not touch on him, lest you die. 4 And the serpent said to the woman, Dying, you shall not die: 5 for Elohim knows when in the day you eat of him, and your eyes, they shall be opened, and you shall be as Elohim knowing good and the evil. 6 And the woman saw for goodness was the tree for food [(for the tree for food was for goodness)], and that he was desirable (longing, lusting) to the eyes, and the tree was pleasant (delighting) to make one skillful (prudent): and she took of his fruit, and she ate, and she gave also to her husband with her; and she ate. 7 And opened her the eyes of both of them, and they knew for they were naked; and they sewed leaves (foliage) of the fig tree, and they did (made) for themselves aprons (girdles).
8 And they heard את-the Voice of יהוה Elohim walking in the Garden by the breeze (wind) of the day: and the Adam and his woman hid (cherishingly hid, made secret) themselves from the Face of hwhy Elohim in the midst of the trees of the Garden, 9 and יהוה Elohim called to the Adam, and said to him, Where are you? 10 And said, I heard את-Your Sound (Voice) in the Garden, and I was afraid, for I am naked; and I hid (cherishingly hid, became secretive). 11 And He said, Who told to you for you are naked? Was that from the tree which I told you to fail (not) eating from him you have eaten? 12 And the Adam said, The woman whom You gave with me, she gave her to me from the tree, and I ate. 13 And יהוה Elohim said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman, she said, The serpent deceived (seduced, beguiled, led astray) me, and I ate.
14 And יהוה Elohim said to the serpent, For you have done this, you are cursed from all the animals and from every beast of the field; you shall go upon your abdomen (belly), and you shall eat dust all the days of your life: 15 and I will set (put) enmity between you and between the woman, and between your seed and between her seed; he shall bruise (gape) you at the head, and you shall bruise (gape) him at the heel.
16 To the woman, said, That multiplying, I will multiply your sorrow (displeasure), and of your conception (pregnancy) in pang (sorrow, labor), you shall lad sons; and your longing shall be to your husband, and he shall rule on you.
17 And said to the Adam, For you listened to the voice of your woman, and you ate from the Tree, which I commanded you, to say, You shall not eat from him: cursed is the Ground on your transition (going over, account); you shall eat her in sorrow (worrisomeness, grief) all of the days of your life; 18 and thorns and thistles, she shall sprout forth to you; and you shall eat את-the herbs of the field; 19 on the perspiring (sweat) of your nose (nostril) you shall eat bread, until you return to the Ground; for from her you were taken: for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.
20 And the Adam called the name of his wife Khavah (Eve); for she became the mother of all living. 21 And hwhy Elohim did (made) coats (robes) of skins, for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
22 And יהוה Elohim said, Behold, the Adam has become as one of Us to know good and the evil: and now, lest he sends forth his hand, and also take from the Tree of the Life, and eat, and shall live for ages: 23 And יהוה Elohim sent him from the Garden of Eden to serve (till) את-the Ground which was taken from there, 24 and drove out את-the Adam; and tabernacled (abode) from the east by the Garden of Eden את-the Cherubims, and את-the Flaming (Blazing) Sword that was turning around to guard את-the way of the Tree of the Life.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)
Verses one through five
1 And the serpent was subtle (cunning, crafty) than any beast of the field which hwhy Elohim made, and said to the woman, For Elohim said, Also (Even) you shall not eat from every tree of the Garden? 2 And the woman, she said to the serpent, From the Fruit of the Trees of the Garden we may eat: 3 and from the Fruit of the Tree which is in the midst of the Garden, Elohim said, You shall not eat him, and you shall not touch on him, lest you die. 4 And the serpent said to the woman, Dying, you shall not die: 5 for Elohim knows when in the day you eat of him, and your eyes, they shall be opened, and you shall be as Elohim knowing good and the evil.
If the serpent was able to talk did that mean the other animals could also talk before the flood? Does Dr. Doolitle ring a bell?
Looking at the word SUBTLE (CUNNING, CRAFTY)
The Hebrew word for subtle (cunning, crafty) is "ah-room"- Ayin, Resh, Vav, Mem Sophit (ערום). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6175, and its definition
Passive participle of H6191; cunning (usually in a bad sense): - crafty, prudent, subtil.
from 6191 "ah-rahm" (Mre), and its definition
A primitive root; properly to be (or make) bare; but used only in the derived sense (through the idea perhaps of smoothness) bo be cunning (usually in a bad sense): - X very, beware, take crafty [counsel], be prudent, deal subtilly.
Based on this word, the serpent who was "subtile" (ערום), was purposing to expose the "bareness" (ערם) of Adam and Khavah, which will be explained below.
The scripture taken from what the serpent said from the Hebrew in verse one
1 ...For Elohim said, Also (Even) you shall not eat from every tree of the Garden?
Looking at the Hebrew word ALSO (EVEN)
The Hebrew word for also (even) is "aph"- Aleph, Peh Sophit (אף). It is from Strong's Concordance number 637, and its definition
A primitive particle; meaning accession (used as an adverb or conjugation); also or yea; adversatively though: - also, + although, and (furthermore, yet), but, even, + how much less (more, rather than), moreover, with, yea.
This definition fits into the context, but in researching further this is what is found:
from Strong's Concordance number 639 "aph" (אף), its definition
From H599; properly the nose or nostril; hence the face, and occasionally a person; also (from the rapid breathing in passion) ire: - anger (-gry), + before, countenance, face, + forbearing, forehead, + [long-] suffering, nose, nostril, snout, X worthy, wrath.
This is the Hebrew word translated as "nostrils". In other words, the serpent was attacking Khavah's nostrils that bears The Breath of Life that Adam received back in chapter two verse seven. Did יהוה breathe into Khavah's nostrils? The scriptures do not say, but it is most probable that יהוה did so, in order to give her life as well. So when the serpent attacked her nostrils by "a play on Hebrew words" using the same word with a different interpretation, he was purposing to destroy "the breath of life"- the "aph"- from her.
Notice also that the yous that are underlined indicates the plural form. This gives proof that Adam and Khavah (Eve) were both present with the serpent.
This is something that יהוה revealed to me just recently, and I give all the glory to Him. Looking again at this Torah portion passage again, in verse one
1 And the serpent was subtle (cunning, crafty) than any beast of the field which hwhy Elohim made, and said to the woman, For Elohim said, Also (Even) you shall not eat from every tree of the Garden?
The serpent asked Khavah "did Elohim say...". Looking back to the account, it says
Genesis 2:15 And יהוה Elohim took את-the Adam and settled (rested) him in the Garden of Eden to serve her and to guard (observe, take heed of) her. 16 And יהוה Elohim commanded upon the Adam, to say, From every tree of the Garden, eating, you shall eat, 17 and from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and the Evil you shall not eat of him, for in the day of your eating from him, dying, you shall die.
Where was Khavah when hwhy was commanding this? She wasn't. She was yet to be made by יהוה. יהוה spoke this only to Adam, "himself". Then I asked myself "What about the command back in chapter one? Looking at chapter one, it says
Genesis 1:27 And Elohim created את the Adam in His Image, created him in the Image of Elohim, created them a remembered one (male) and a perforated one (punctured one, female). 28 And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, Fructify and multiply, and fill את-the Earth, and subdue (subject) her; and rule among the fish of the Sea, and among the birds of the Heavens, and among all living beasts that creep upon the Earth. 29 And Elohim said, Behold, I have given to you את-every herb seeding Seed which is upon the face of all of the Earth, and את-every Tree which in him is the Fruit of the Tree seeding Seed, to you shall be for food. 30 And to every beast of the Earth, and to every flier (bird) of the Heavens, and to every creeper upon the Earth which in him is a living soul, את-every Green Herb shall be for food, and became so.
Adam and Khavah were present when hwhy commanded these to them, but not the issue of the two trees. Why? Because יהוה wanted Adam, who is the man, to tell her, Khavah, the woman. Since the beginning, יהוה made the man responsible for a commandment, in this case with Adam, the commandment of the two trees. Why? I don't know.
Looking at verses two and three again to what Khavah responded
2 And the woman, she said to the serpent, From the Fruit of the Trees of the Garden we may eat: 3 and from the Fruit of the Tree which is in the midst of the Garden, Elohim said, You shall not eat him, and you shall not touch on him, lest you die.
What Khavah said was not from hwhy, but from Adam, her husband. which will be explained later.
By rights, she couldn't answer that question, and she shouldn't have answer that question. The point bringing this is out, because she the serpent knew that she did not hear it from hwhy, but from Adam. Khavah must have been surprsied that an animal, the serpent, could talk. Also, when she responded to the question, she was speaking based on what Adam said to her, but Adam, will have some explaining to do, as I mention that I will explain later.
The Scriptures have focused on the conversation between Khavah and the serpent, but what about Adam? [I hear the Pshyco movie's shrieking violin sounds]. Why did he not step in for Khavah and speak on her behalf? Because, one, it is possible that if he did, he could cause a riff, in other words "the First Spousal Argument" in the world, and it would be in the Garden of Eden before the fall. Two, I will explain later.
We believers need to be careful when people try to play on words and ask questions that can be used by HaSatan to make us doubt or question His Word in order to attack us and deceive us. People can say words that could mean one thing that sounds good or right to us, but to them it can mean something else and could hurt us, or ultimately destroy us.
Daniel Kolenda of Christ for All Nations revealed what Satan did to Khavah (Eve):
For Elohim said...: Making Khavah (Eve) questioning יהוה's Word
Dying, you shall not die: Making Khavah (Eve) question יהוה's Truthfulness
And your eyes, they shall be opened: Making Khavah (Eve) questioning יהוהs Motives
You shall be like Elohim: Satan's making Khavah (Eve) become part of his ultimate goal for himself and others to be like Elohim
Daniel was noted that Satan was making Khavah (Eve) think that יהוה was really holding her down and holding her back and threatening her potential.
Thank you, Daniel.
Verse six
6 And the woman saw for goodness was the tree for food [(for the tree for food was for goodness)], and that he was desirable (longing, lusting) to the eyes, and the tree was pleasant (delighting) to make one skillful (prudent): and she took of his fruit, and she ate, and she gave also to her husband with her; and she ate.
When Khavah saw the food for pleasantness and good to eat, this was not a new statement. It was originally noted in chapter two verse nine:
Genesis 2:9 And יהוה Elohim sprouted from the Ground every pleasant (delightful) Tree for sight (appearance), and goodness for food;...
The serpent made this statement from verse five
5 for Elohim knows when in the day you eat of him, and your eyes, they shall be opened, and you shall be as Elohim knowing good and the evil.
This statement was not of יהוה and was not scripture in chapter two verse nine. So Khavah submitted to the serpent's statement.
Because Khavah added the words that she spoke to the serpent in verse three
3 and from the Fruit of the Tree which is in the midst of the Garden, Elohim said, You shall not eat him, and you shall not touch on him, lest you die.
יהוה did not say this to Adam, she reaped the thoughts of the serpent's additional words in verse five, which most likely was told by Adam. And as Moses said in the Torah portion of R'ey, in the book of Deuteronomy:
Deuteronomy 12:32 את All of the Word which I am commanding you, you shall guard (observe, take heed) to do, you shall not add upon him, and you shall not diminish from him.
This Commandment Moses stated was no doubt based on this Torah portion regarding Khavah's confrontation with the serpent.
Going back to the question earlier to why Adam did not step in for Khavah and speak on her behalf. A couple of reasons: one:- he knew and realized what he got himself into when the serpent asked that question to her, and not to Adam, because knew that what he told her from the earlier time by adding on the words "...and you shall not touch him..." to the Commandment יהוה told to him before Khavah existed, and knew that he mistated her. Thus, in many words, Adam knew that he messed up and got himself into trouble. Two- if Adam did step in for Khavah and spoke the actual words that hwhy spoke to the serpent, the serpent would have a nice heyday by asking with Adam why he told Khavah the wrong thing by adding words to hwhy's Commandment which He did not say. This would not look good for either Adam or Khavah, and Adam would probably have made a division in his relationship with her. Also, if Adam did step in, it was possible that Khavah would ask Adam later why she wasn't given the correct words. Overall. Adam would have had himself "caught in a pickle" by being damned if he did said anything and damned if he didn't said anything.
Also, it was also possible that Adam knew that when Khavah took the apple she was doomed and he would have to still live eternally, so Adam sacrificed his eternalness for the sake of the woman by identifying with her by partaking of the fruit.
Looking at the following words:
DESIRABLE (LONGING, LUSTING)
The Hebrew word for desirable (longing, lusting) is "tah-ah-vah"- Tav, Aleph, Vav, Heh (תאוה). It is from Strong's Concordance number 8378, and its definition
From H183 (abbreviated); a longing; by implication a delight (subjectively satisfaction, objectively a charm): - dainty, desire, X exceedingly, X greedily, lust (ing), pleasant. See also H6914.
from 183 "ah-vah" (אוה), and its definition
A primitive root; to wish for: - covet, (greatly) desire, be desirous, long, lust (after).
This word is is commonly translated as "pleasant", but pleasant is not the proper translation. Compared to chapter two verse nine of this week's Torah portion
PLEASANT (DELIGHTFUL)
The Hebrew word for pleasant (delightful) is "khah-mahd"- Khet, Mem, Dalet (חמד). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2530, and its definition
A primitive root; to delight in: - beauty, greatly beloved, covet, delectable thing, ( X great) delight, desire, goodly, lust, (be) pleasant (thing), precious (thing).
The account on chapter two has nothing to do with coveting and lusting, as compared to this week's Torah portion passage where Khavah (Eve) was 'lusting' or 'coveting' at the fruit. This can be compared to the Tenth Word (Commandment) where one is not to covet or lust after his neighbor's wife, his home and anything outside or inside the home. This is the same Hebrew word that is applied to this week's Torah portion passage where Khavah (Eve) is seeing the fruit as being 'pleasant' or 'delightful' to make one wise, instead of seeing the other trees as being pleasant and delightful for their appearance.
From an unusual source, Daniel Kolenda of Christ for All Nations revealed a connection to this week's Torah portion passage, which is noted by the apostle John in his epistle
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
This is the connection that Daniel Kolenda revealed from this week's Torah portion passage to the apostle John's account:
It was desirable to the eyes: The lust of the eyes
Khavah (Eve) saw that it was good for food: The lust of the eyes and the flesh
The tree was pleasant to make one wise: The pride of life
Thank you, Daniel.
This is happening a lot to the people at large, and including believers in Yeshua, who are experiencing this, but we have Yeshua to whom we can confess our sins to, and He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins. On top of that, if He leads you, if you have anything that you need to remove from your home, you should do it. Ask Him what He wants you to do with it/them.
Indirectly related, in the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant), the apostle Paul had concern that an assembly will be led astray with a different gospel because of the assembly's ability to see things by sight or presence, because Paul cannot be present with them all the time, and also applied Khavah to their matter. This is noted in his letter to the assembly in Corinth
2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to One Husband, that I may present you as a Chaste Virgin to the Messiah. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another yeshua, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Verse seven
7 And opened her the eyes of both of them, and they knew for they were naked; and they sewed leaves (foliage) of the fig tree, and they did (made) for themselves aprons (girdles).
Question, "Was this fig tree the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?" It is possible.
Looking at the word NAKED
The Hebrew word for naked is "ey-room"- Ayin, Yod, Resh, Mem Sophit (אירם). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5903, and its definition
From H6191; nudity: - naked (-ness).
from 6191, which was noted earlier.
Relating back to the end of chapter two and the beginning of chapter three, Khavah sowed with her eyes via the sight of the fruit and the words of the serpent to nakedness in chapter two (אירם). And with her husband, Adam, partaking of the fruit, they reaped their sight by seeing their "nakedness" (אירם) from their result of submitting to the "subtile (cunning, crafty)" (אורם) words of the serpent. The serpent's play on the Hebrew was accomplished and succeeded his agenda.
Tying this to the Apostle Paul in the book of Ephesians
Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with Truth,...
This was the basis of Adam and Khavah hiding their loins and their shame, because the truth, through the supernatural covering of hwhy, left them.
Relating the fig tree, this is Yeshua's connection regarding to it in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 21:18 Now in the morning as He returned into the city, He hungered. 19 And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21 Yeshua answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
In other words, Yeshua had the faith to wither the fig tree, but the fact the fig tree did not produce fruit for Him and His disciples was, in my opinion, an act to not partake of the fruit of the tree that Adam and Khavah used to cover their nakedness and shame. It is possible that Yeshua knew that the tree was the same Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and that is why He made sure it didn't provide anymore fruit.
When Adam and Khavah took of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in chapter three, they ate a Food Covenant. A Food Covenant is considered the final signature on the dotted line and embossed with a seal, which means it cannot be broken, this is, as Rico Cortes of Wisdom in Torah Ministries calls it, an ancient Near Eastern cultural account which is revealed in examples in the Torah and later in the Tanakh. This was the first Food Covenant noted in the Bible, but unfortunately, it was a bad Food Covenant. It will cost them their eternity.

8 And they heard את-the Voice of יהוה Elohim walking in the Garden by the breeze (wind) of the day: and the Adam and his woman hid (cherishingly hid, made secret) themselves from the Face of hwhy Elohim in the midst of the trees of the Garden, 9 and יהוה Elohim called to the Adam, and said to him, Where are you? 10 And said, I heard את-Your Sound (Voice) in the Garden, and I was afraid, for I am naked; and I hid (cherishingly hid, became secretive). 11 And He said, Who told to you for you are naked? Was that from the tree which I told you to fail (not) eating from him you have eaten?
This would be the second account of hwhy walking on the earth before Adam and Khavah's fall, and the second time He was noted to speak to Adam and Khavah. When יהוה asked Adam "Who told you...", it reminds me of a famous actor, James Cagney, in the movie "Mister Roberts" playing the captain of a cargo ship, when after he discovered his palm tree was thrown overboard, and sounded the general alarm. After the men were set in their stations, Cagney turned down the siren and stated in the intercom, "Allllll right. Whooo did it? Whoo did it?".
Looking at the word HID (CHERISHINGLY HID, SECRET)
The Hebrew word for his (cherishinly hid, secret) is "khah-vah"- Khet, Bet, Aleph (חבא). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2244, and its definition
A primitive root (compare H2245); to secrete: - X held, hide (self), do secretly.
from 2245 "khah-vahv" (חבב), and its definition
A primitive root (compare H2244, H2247); properly to hide (as in the bosom), that is, to cherish (with affection): - love.
from 2247 "khah-vah" (חבה), and its definition
A primitive root (compare H2245); to secrete: - hide (self).
This has an effect of "cherishing" the moment, but in a negative way, and they were most likely hiding each other's private areas by hugging each other or hiding them with their hands and arms. This is also where we get our phrase "hubba, hubba" from.
Verses twelve
12 And the Adam said, The woman whom You gave with me, she gave her to me from the tree, and I ate. 13 And יהוה Elohim said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman, she said, The serpent deceived (seduced, beguiled, led astray) me, and I ate.
14 And יהוה Elohim said to the serpent, For you have done this, you are cursed from all the animals and from every beast of the field; you shall go upon your abdomen (belly), and you shall eat dust all the days of your life: 15 and I will set (put) enmity between you and between the woman, and between your seed and between her seed; he shall bruise (gape) you at the head, and you shall bruise (gape) him at the heel.
16 To the woman, said, That multiplying, I will multiply your sorrow (displeasure), and of your conception (pregnancy) in pang (sorrow, labor), you shall lad sons; and your longing shall be to your husband, and he shall rule on you.
17 And said to the Adam, For you listened to the voice of your woman, and you ate from the Tree, which I commanded you, to say, You shall not eat from him: cursed is the Ground on your transition (going over, account); you shall eat her in sorrow (worrisomeness, grief) all of the days of your life; 18 and thorns and thistles, she shall sprout forth to you; and you shall eat את-the herbs of the field; 19 on the perspiring (sweat) of your nose (nostril) you shall eat bread, until you return to the Ground; for from her you were taken: for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.
20 And the Adam called the name of his wife Khavah (Eve); for she became the mother of all living. 21 And hwhy Elohim did (made) coats (robes) of skins, for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
22 And יהוה Elohim said, Behold, the Adam has become as one of Us to know good and the evil: and now, lest he sends forth his hand, and also take from the Tree of the Life, and eat, and shall live for ages: 23 And יהוה Elohim sent him from the Garden of Eden to serve (till) את-the Ground which was taken from there, 24 and drove out את-the Adam; and tabernacled (abode) from the east by the Garden of Eden את-the Cherubims, and את-the Flaming (Blazing) Sword that was turning around to guard את-the way of the Tree of the Life.
Billye Brim of Billye Brim Ministries on the July 22nd, 2015's episode Believers Voice of Victory (Yes, I know it is not a Hebraic Roots program, but Ms. Brim is a strong supporter of Israel) stated something I don't think anyone had thought of before. She said regarding Adam that he put the blame on hwhy and the woman, but one thing Adam did not do was to blame "The Serpent". Another way one could look at it is that Adam was saying to hwhy, "Blame the woman, blame Yourself, but don't blame me! She started it!". Billye Brim noted that the reason was that if Adam did blamed the serpent, he would have indirectly admitted to hwhy by saying "I did not do my part to 'guard' the garden like You told me". Adam would be saying to hwhy that "he failed" to do his part to "keep" intruders away from tresspassing in the garden. In other words Adam was "ashamed" to admit his guilt, and because he did not admit his fault, Adam kept his "shame" and did not let go of it. This "Adamic Shame" went to Adam's private parts, and he passed it down to the males throughout mankind's history. He did not just fail to keep the garden, but he failed to cover his wife by submiting to her offer to take of the fruit. It was manifested when hwhy said to Adam in verses seventeen through nineteen, which will be commented shortly.
Verse thirteen
13 And hwhy Elohim said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman, she said, The serpent deceived (seduced, beguiled, led astray) me, and I ate.
Ms. Brim did not see this: Khavah did admit her guilt by telling the truth of the events that happened.
There was something else in this account she did not say. Looking at verse six, it says
6 ...and she gave also to her husband with her; and she ate.
Did she also say to יהוה "and I also gave to my husband to eat"? No, she did not. Why? There a couple of possibilities: One- she did not need to, becuase she followed what her husband said regarding the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil by "adding" the phrase "nor shall you not touch it". And since she was not told by יהוה directly the exact words, as יהוה made note to Adam, she was off the hook, and she was not required to say it. Two- because of partaking the apple from the serpent, she took on the serpant's covering, bearing the serpent's pride, and could not humble herself to admit her fault toward her act against Adam. Thus, hwhy passed judgment to her by saying in verse sixteen in this chapter
16 To the woman, said,... and your longing shall be to your husband, and he shall rule on you.
Because she "submitted" to The Serpent, hwhy punished her by judging her to submit to her husband. This is not the same Hebrew word for longing "tah-ah-vah", but it's the Hebrew word "t'shookah" (hqwst) meaning to stretch out after, longing and desire.
First of all, I am not a sexist. There are a lot of good women out in the working field who do their jobs well, but I am getting into the issue of how HaSatan works his way into the world's system, especially influencing women of the world who do not have Yeshua in their hearts and lives.
Based on this verse, it has been that way for milennii until the 1960's of the beginning of the "Women's Liberation Movement", or "Feminists", shortly after the Supreme Court's ruling of removing the Bible and prayer, hence Yeshua, out of the school system in 1962 and 1963. More women of the world's system today are becoming more "dominant" like what Khavah did in the beginning. On top of that, women who are of the world's sytsem are getting occupied with their "careers" delaying to have a family, and at times reaching the point in their lives when it is too late for them, thus falling into a "Khavaic Curse" and thus falling into HaSatan's plans to divert hwhy's cause to put emnity between the serpent's seed and the woman's seed, as well as "fructify and multiply on the earth", which would be Yeshua in the hearts of the women today. In other words, the problem is the majority of women do not have Yeshua- "the Seed", in their hearts- and are more being subjective to HaSatan's plan's to thwart יהוה's plans. HaSatan, in the world's standards, for the women of the world who do not have Yeshua in their lives, are living by the "world's" standards, and are blinded to יהוה's plan for them, as well as hwhy's time line of this earth's end time events. As Brad Scott of Wildbranch Ministry and Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries coined the phrase "The end is declared from the beginning". This is a sign that we are nearing the end times.
Verse fourteen
14 And יהוה Elohim said to the serpent, For you have done this, you are cursed from all the animals and from every beast of the field; you shall go upon your abdomen (belly), and you shall eat dust all the days of your life:
The first one יהוה dealt with was the serpent. What יהוה was saying verse fourteen was that the serpent caused their unseen veil of not being ashamed of their nakedness to be removed and taken away by covincing Khavah (Eve) to eat the fruit and making Adam eat of it as well. As a result, יהוה judged the serpent by making the serpent to crawl on his belly, which means that the serpent had "legs", and יהוה was saying to the serpent, in many words, "Because you caused the removal of their veil, I will "remove" your "legs", and you will crawl on your belly instead". This is what Rico Cortes of Widsom in Torah Ministries calls "measure for measure". Also, in agricultural terms, it is called "reaping what one sows". The serpent sowed the removal of their veil, and he reaped by having his legs removed.

Verse fifteen
15 and I will set (put) enmity between you and between the woman, and between your seed and between her seed; he shall bruise (gape) you at the head, and you shall bruise (gape) him at the heel.
This week's Torah portion passage was manifested when Yeshua, "the Seed" of the woman, overcame HaSatan, the serpent's seed, by crushing HaSatan's head by being crucified on the cross, buried, went down and took the keys from HaSatan, and resurrected on the third day of First Fruits.
!!!כבד לך יהוה
There has been emnity between these two seeds for millenii: Between Isaac and Ishmael, between Jacob and Esau, between Israel and Egypt, and now, for about 2,000 years, between believers of Yeshua, the Messiah and the world.
In the previous chapter of this week's Torah portion, I noted that it was possible that Yeshua was crucified at the Mount of Olives directly above Goliath's skull. If this is correct, then one can say that this was a symbolic act of the Seed of the woman, Yeshua, bruising the head of the serpent, symbolized by the skull of Goliath.
!!!כבד לך יהוה
Looking at the word BRUISE (GAPE)
The Hebrew word for bruise (gape) is "shooph"- Shin, Vav, Peh Sophit (שוף). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7779, and its definition
A primitive root; properly to gape, that is, snap at; figuratively to overwhelm: - break, bruise, cover.
The reason I included the alternate translation for gape is based on Dictionary.com's definition meaning "gap", meaning an open wound. If this translation is correct, if would fit properly to a future account which is noted by the apostle John, in the book of Revelation:
Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.... 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.... 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
This would refer to HaSatan, or the devil.
Verse sixteen
16 To the woman, said, That multiplying, I will multiply your sorrow (displeasure), and of your conception (pregnancy) in pang (sorrow, labor), you shall lad sons; and your longing shall be to your husband, and he shall rule on you.
Looking at the following words:
SORROW (DISPLEASURE)
The Hebrew word for sorrow (displeasure) is "ee-tsah-vohn"- Ayin, Tsade, Bet, Vav, Nun Sophit (עצבון). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6093, and its definition
From H6087; worrisomeness, that is, labor or pain: - sorrow, toil.
from 183 "ah-tsahv" (עצב), and its definition
A primitive root; properly to carve, that is, fabricate or fashion; hence (in a bad sense) to worry, pain or anger: - displease, grieve, hurt, make, be sorry, vex, worship, wrest.
SORROW
The Hebrew word for sorrow is "eh-tsehv"- Ayin, Tsade, Bet (עצב). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6089, and its definition
From H6087; an earthen vessel; usually (painful) toil; also a pang (whether of body or mind): - grievous, idol, labor, sorrow.
from 183 "ah-tsahv" (עצב), and its definition
A primitive root; properly to carve, that is, fabricate or fashion; hence (in a bad sense) to worry, pain or anger: - displease, grieve, hurt, make, be sorry, vex, worship, wrest.
What this tells us is the Khavah (Eve) will be going though the internal process of being sorrow during her pregnancy, and as she is going through the process when the baby is being developed in the womb she will be showing her sorrow in her appearance and go through sorrow during the birthing process.
Verses seventeen through nineteen
17 And said to the Adam, For you listened to the voice of your woman, and you ate from the Tree, which I commanded you, to say, You shall not eat from him: cursed is the Ground on your transition (going over, account); you shall eat her in sorrow (worrisomeness, grief) all of the days of your life; 18 and thorns and thistles, she shall sprout forth to you; and you shall eat את-the herbs of the field; 19 on the perspiring (sweat) of your nose (nostril) you shall eat bread, until you return to the Ground; for from her you were taken: for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.
In other words, יהוה was saying to Adam "because you did not humble yourself and repent of your failure to guard the garden that I told you to do, I will curse the garden on your account, and I will make sure you will keep the garden by making you work harder by making you grow the produce of the field that will cause you to sweat your brow". In other words, hwhy "added" Adam's effort to work in the land by adding "sweating" in his task, because Adam "added" words of hwhy's Commandment by including this phrase in speaking the Commandment to Khavah by saying
3 ...and you shall not touch on him...
An example of this, was at the time in Egypt, when the Israelites were enslaved to Pharaoh, they were provided straw to make bricks, until Moses came to Pharaoh telling him to let them go, and Pharaoh made this response, which is noted in the Torah portion of Sh'moth, in the book of Exodus
Exodus 5:6 And Pharaoh commanded in that day את-the task drivers (task masters) against the People, and את-their overseers, to say, 7 You shall not add (continue, gather) to give straw to the People to build the bricks (?white bricks?), as yesterday, threes: They, they shall go, and they shall forage stubble for themselves. 8 And את-the tally of the bricks (?white bricks?) which they were making yesterday, threes, you shall put upon them; you shall not diminish from him:...
The Israelites had to provide the same provision, but they had to work harder to earn their keep.
This "shame" has been in existence in males ever since it went to Adam's private parts, until Yeshua came and was crucified on the cross bearing the "shame" by having His private parts "exposed" to the public to redeem the shame of mankind (in Hebrew "Adam") starting with the founder of that shame, Adam himself.
Relating to those who do not follow Yeshua are still following the Adamic shaming nature. Look at what businesses and politics throughout the centuries and millenii, and now today are doing, by "adding" extra work to their employees. A few years ago, a good amount of fast food restaurants used to close their stores for the day, but now, they have opened their restaurants "24/7", and some with only one day off, and that is Christmas.
Also, in relation to shame, side tracking for a second, major corporations go to to the government to"scratch their backs so their backs can be scratched" behind the scenes, in which there is no shame on either party. Another account is the infamous congressional hearing regarding the tobacco industry leaders who came to testify their "issues" regarding the bad health of tobacco. And when asked if they believed that nicotine was addictive, one by one, each tobacco leader spoke in the microphones, as if rehearsed, saying "I believe that nicotine is not addictive". Another example of those hiding their shame by not admitting their wrongdoing.
One would think that more women of the world today who are working in those high office positions would change the course and straighten out and "clean up" what their "male" predecessors did, but hardly. Most of them are doing the very same thing. They are no different than what their male counterparts did before them.
Looking at verse seventeen again in this week's Torah portion passage, יהוה reminded Adam His Commandment to him, by saying
17 And said to the Adam, For you listened to the voice of your woman, and you ate from the Tree, which I commanded you, to say, You shall not eat from him:...
As I said earlier, the only way Khavah (Eve) would have said that to the serpent, was Adam said that to her, adding words to her that יהוה did not say, and in many ways, יהוה indirectly accused Adam for adding those words to his wife. That is why the serpent took advantage of Khavah.
One of the reasons Adam submitted to his wife, because he knew that when Khavah took of the fruit, she lost her eternity status. Question: "Could Adam have override her by anulling her action in eating the fruit, by saying, "I nullify the partaking of the fruit you ate"?. I don't know. Also, could Adam had covered Khavah by not partaking of the fruit? I don't know that either. But one thing was certain, that Khavah sealed her eternal doom. In my opinion, the reason Adam partook of the fruit after her, because he loved her, and did not want to lose her. Also, as a result of Khavah (Eve) submitting to the serpent, HaSatan, and eating the fruit, she became "dominant" over her husband, and caused Adam to be "inferior" to his wife by "submitting" to her and partake of the fruit as well, causing him to lose his eternal status as well.
Looking at verse eighteen again. This is what it says:
18 and thorns and thistles, she shall sprout forth to you;...
Notice that the "you" is in pinkish color. This means that hwhy was referring to Adam's "soul", which the soul is feminine.
Verse twenty
20 And the Adam called the name of his wife Khavah (Eve); for she became the mother of all living.
Looking at the Hebrew word KHAVAH (EVE)
The Hebrew word for Khavah (Eve) is "Khahv-vah"- Khat, Vav, Heh (חוה). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2332, and its definition
Causative from H2331; lifegiver; Chavvah (or Eve), the first woman: - Eve.
from 2331 "Khah-vah" (חוה), and its definition
A primitive root; (compare H2324, H2421); properly to live; by implication (intensively) to declare or show: - show.
Women have become "life givers" throughout human history. Unfortunately, there are a good amount of women in this world who don't see themselves at that today for "social" reasons.
Verse twenty-one
21 And יהוה Elohim did (made) coats (robes) of skins, for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
יהוה gave them coats of skins to cover them, replacing the fig leaf apron they made. Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries revealed this. by noting that they wore "skins", which means an animal was sacrificed. In other words, blood was shed.
Looking at this passage in the Gospel of John
John 19:17 And He bearing His Cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 18 Where they crucified Him, and two other with Him, on either side one, and Yeshua in the midst.
Going back to the account regarding the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, in my commentary I noted earlier, and noted in my teaching of the High Holy Days teaching of Passover/Unleavened Bread, I noted that Yeshua was at the Mount of Olives when He died, because Yeshua and the Centurion, and those who were at the location, would have to see the entrance curtain of the Temple rent into two. And there was no way to see it unless they were located "east" of the temple on the Mount Of Olives. Looking at this map again with the possible area Yeshua was crucified
A question that came to me is "What is the exact location of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil"? Is it possible that the tree existed where Yeshua and the two men were crucified? Looking at the account of the crucifixion in the Gospel of Luke
Luke 23:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, 34 Then said Yeshua, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted His raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He be the Messiah, the Chosen of hwhy. 36 And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him, and offering Him vinegar, 37 And saying, If Thou be the King of the Jews, save Thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on Him, saying, If Thou be the Messiah, save Thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked Him, saying, Dost not thou fear hwhy, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this Man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Yeshua, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom. 43 And Yeshua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise.
Looking at the word CALVARY
The Greek word for Calvary is "krahn-ee-ohn" (κρανιον). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2898, and its definition
Diminutive of a derivative of the base of G2768; a skull (“cranium”): - Calvary, skull.
This is where we get the word "cranium".
In verse fifteen in this week's Torah portion chapter, this was how Yeshua "bruised" HaSatan's head by symbolically bruising his Calvary", his "cranium" a.k.a. "the skull".
!!!כבד לך יהוה
If this is true, then Yeshua's crucifixion with the two men, located at the Mount of Olives, was in fact the actual location of the Tree of the Knolwedge of Good and Evil, and these would be the symbols of the three men:
Yeshua: The sacrificed animal, exposing the shame by having His nakedness exposed, including His private parts, and His flesh were also struck with a whip that ripped His skin, even at His private parts.
The "Save Yourself" Man: The fruit of the Knoledge of Evil. One can also say the Jewish people, the Jewish authorities and the Roman Soldiers also represented this.
The "Redemptive" Man: The fruit of the Knowledge of Good.
"Was this the exact location area where hwhy slaughtered the animal, from the Garden of Eden, which יהוה/Yeshua created, to make the coats of skins for Adam and Khavah (Eve)"? It is my humble, but strong opinion that it was.
This is a map again of the locations of the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
Verses twenty two through twenty five
22 And יהוה Elohim said, Behold, the Adam has become as one of Us to know good and the evil: and now, lest he sends forth his hand, and also take from the Tree of the Life, and eat, and shall live for ages: 23 And יהוה Elohim sent him from the Garden of Eden to serve (till) את-the Ground which was taken from there, 24 and drove out את-the Adam; and tabernacled (abode) from the east by the Garden of Eden את-the Cherubims, and את-the Flaming (Blazing) Sword that was turning around to guard את-the way of the Tree of the Life.
In a Hebraic perspective, this has been the common practice when one is to be exiled by going "eastward", as it has been shown in the Bible, especially for the Ten Northern Tribes of the Northern House of Israel when they were driven "eastward to Assyriah around 732 BC, and the Two Southern Tribes of the Southern House of Judah, who were driven out "eastward" to Babylon around 586 BC. The question is "How far eastward did Adam and Khavah (Eve) travel before settling in Nod"? The Bible doesn't say.
Indirectly related to this theory, the apostle John wrote this regarding the assembly in Laodicea which is in the book of Revelation
Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the assembly of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the beginning of the creation of Elohim; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
CHAPTER 4
Genesis 4:1-26
Gen 4:1 And the Adam knew את-Khavah (Eve), his woman; and she conceived, and she birthed את-Cain, and she said, I have gotten a man of את-
יהוה.
2 And she added to the birthing of את-his brother, את-Abel. And Abel became a shepherd of flocks, and Cain became a servant (tiller) of the Ground. 3 And was from the end of days, and Cain brought from the fruit of the Ground a Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering) to יהוה.
4 and Abel, he also brought from the firstlings of his flocks and from their kheylev-fat. And יהוה had respect to Abel and to his Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering): 5 and to Cain and to his Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering) had no respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his face fell, 6 and יהוה said to Cain, To why is the wroth to you? And to why has your face fallen? 7 That not, If you shall do good (well) shall be exalted (lifted up)? And if you not do well, sin is crouching by the entrance, and to you shall be his longing (desire), and you, you should rule on him. 8 And Cain was saying (talking?) to Abel his brother: and was, in their being in the field, and Cain rose up to Abel his brother, and killed him.
9 And יהוה said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And said, I do not know: Am I the guardian (keeper, observer, heeder) of my brother? 10 And said, What have you done? The voice of the blood (bloods?) of your brother cries to me from the Ground. 11 And now, cursed are you from the Ground which hath opened את-her mouth to receive את-the blood (bloods?) of your brother from your hand; 12 When you serve (till) את-the Ground, she shall not add at giving her strength to you; you shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the Earth. 13 And Cain said to יהוה, My iniquity is greater than my bearing. 14 Behold, you have driven me today from upon the face of the Ground; and I shall be hidden from Your Face; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the Earth; and shall be, that anyone finding me shall kill me. 15 And יהוה said to him, By thus, anyone killing Cain, shall be avenged sevenfold. And יהוה set a mark (sign) to Cain, to fail at striking him anyone finding him. 16 And Cain went out from of the Face of יהוה, and dwelled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew את-his woman; and she conceived, and she birthed את-Enoch: and became a builder of a city, and called the name of the city according to the name [(as the name)] of his son, Enoch. 18 And was the birthing to Enoch את-Irad: and Irad birthed את-Mehujael: and Mehujael birthed את-Methusael: and Methusael birthed את-Lamech. 19 And Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. 20 And Adah, she birthed את-Jabal: he was the father of dwellers of tents and livestock. 21 And the name of his brother was Jubal: he was the father of all handling the harp and the organ. 22 And Zillah, she also birthed את-Tubal Cain, a hammerer of every engraver of copper and iron: and the sister of Tubal Cain was Naamah.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, wives of Lamech, have the ear at my sayings: for I have killed a man to my wound, and a lad to my hurt (bruise). 24 For Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, and Lamech seventy and seven.
25 And Adam knew still (again) את-his woman; and she birthed a son, and she called את-his name, Seth: For Elohim has applied (put, substituted) to me another seed instead of Abel, for Cain killed him. 26 And to Seth, also he birthed a son; and called את-his name Enosh: then began (profane) to call on (in) Name of יהוה.

And Abel became a shepherd of flocks, and Cain became a servant (tiller) of the Ground. 3 And was from the end of days, and Cain brought from the fruit of the Ground a Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering) to יהוה.
4 and Abel, he also brought from the firstlings of his flocks and from their kheylev-fat. And יהוה had respect to Abel and to his Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering): 5 and to Cain and to his Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering) had no respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his face fell, 6 and יהוה said to Cain, To why is the wroth to you? And to why has your face fallen? 7 That not, If you shall do good (well) shall be exalted (lifted up)? And if you not do well, sin is crouching by the entrance, and to you shall be his longing (desire), and you, you should rule on him. 8 And Cain was saying (talking?) to Abel his brother: and was, in their being in the field, and Cain rose up to Abel his brother, and killed him.
In verse five of this week's Torah portion passage, the reason that Cain's offering was not accepted, because hwhy cursed the ground back in chapter three verse seventeen:
Genesis 3:17 And said to the Adam, For you listened to the voice of your woman, and you ate from the Tree, which I commanded you, to say, You shall not eat from him: cursed is the Ground on your transition (going over, account); you shall eat her in sorrow (worrisomeness, grief) all of the days of your life;
יהוה cannot bless what was cursed: It is like the opposite in the book of Numbers chapters twenty two through twenty five, when King Balak of Moab wanted Baalam to curse the Israelites. And Baalam said to Balak that hwhy cannot curse what is blessed.
Also, the reason Abel's offering was accepted, because he did it in rememberance what hwhy did for Adam and Khavah when hwhy killed an animal and made skins for them to cover their nakedness back in chapter three verse twenty-one
Genesis 3:21 And יהוה Elohim did (made) coats (robes) of skins, for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
Abel was also giving a Sacrifice of Rememberance to יהוה for what He did for his parents.
The fruitification of Adam and Khavah eating of the fruit from that tree resulted in their two sons: Cain and Abel. Cain was "the fruition" of evilness, and Abel was the fruition of goodness. One can also see from the account of their acts that Abel did the good things while Cain did the evil things, which ultimately in Cain's case acting "evily" by killing Abel. These two brothers also connect to the two men who were crucified with the Messiah at the Mount of Olives, which I said earlier was most likely the location of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
In verse six of this week's Torah portion passage, when יהוה asked Cain why he was wroth, the "you" in bold pink tells us that יהוה was referring to Cain's soul being wroth.
In verse seven of this week's Torah portion passage, Cain killed Abel. Why did he kill him? Was this his so called "animal sacrifice substitute"? Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries and Jacob's Tent noted that Cain would have known what is involved in the sacrifices, most likely from the example of his father, Adam as Abel knew.
Verses nine through fifteen
9 And יהוה said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And said, I do not know: Am I the guardian (keeper, observer, heeder) of my brother? 10 And said, What have you done? The voice of the blood (bloods?) of your brother cries to me from the Ground. 11 And now, cursed are you from the Ground which hath opened את-her mouth to receive את-the blood (bloods?) of your brother from your hand; 12 When you serve (till) את-the Ground, she shall not add at giving her strength to you; you shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the Earth. 13 And Cain said to יהוה, My iniquity is greater than my bearing. 14 Behold, you have driven me today from upon the face of the Ground; and I shall be hidden from Your Face; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the Earth; and shall be, that anyone finding me shall kill me. 15 And יהוה said to him, By thus, anyone killing Cain, shall be avenged sevenfold. And יהוה set a mark (sign) to Cain, to fail at striking him anyone finding him. 16 And Cain went out from of the Face of יהוה, and dwelled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
In verse nine, Cain said the phrase "Am I my brothers guardian?". This reveals to us that Cain's parents most likely told him, as well as his brother, that they failed to guard the garden, and the serpent came in. He mocked hwhy by using the word "guardian" in an evil sense.
In verse twelve, Cain was told by hwhy that he would be a vagabond.
Looking at the word VAGABOND
The Hebrew word for vagabond is "nahd"- Nun, Dalet (נד). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5110, and its definition
A primitive root; to nod, that is, waver; figuratively to wander, flee, disappear; also (from shaking the head in sympathy), to console, deplore, or (from tossing the head in scorn) taunt: - bemoan, flee, get, mourn, make to move, take pity, remove, shake, skip for joy, be sorry, vagabond, way, wandering.
In verse fifteen, יהוה puts a mark, or a sign, on Cain as a warning to anyone that considers to want to kill him. Going to the other end of the book, there is an account regarding the use of a mark in the book of Revelation
Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Is this a sign for the end times in the opposite means if anyone takes a mark of the beast? This would be a type of the mark of Cain in the end times. As Brad Scott of Wildbranch Ministry and Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries say "The end is declared from the beginning".
In verse twelve of this week's Torah portion passage, when it says that the ground will not give strength to Cain, it is saying that the ground will give strength to Cain's soul.
Verse sixteen
16 And Cain went out from of the Face of יהוה, and dwelled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Looking at the word NOD
The Hebrew word for Nod is "Nohd"- Nun, Vav, Dalet (נוד). It is from Strong's concordance number 5112, and its definition
From H5110; exile: - wandering.
from 5110 "nood" (נוד), and its definition
A primitive root; to nod, that is, waver; figuratively to wander, flee, disappear; also (from shaking the head in sympathy), to console, deplore, or (from tossing the head in scorn) taunt: - bemoan, flee, get, mourn, make to move, take pity, remove, shake, skip for joy, be sorry, vagabond, way, wandering.
Cain named his place after his exiled occupation, which was "vagabond".
This is the second Biblical account where somebody was driven out to the east.
I have one theory. Based on the map of Pangaea shown below
It is theory that the farthest east they could have travelled is where the land baby's "mouth" would be located as shown below
It is theory that the farthest east they could have travelled is where the land baby's "mouth" would be located as shown below
In other words, in theory, יהוה, could have "spewed out" Adam and Khavah (Eve) by location them at the baby land's "mouth", where the "Word" is spoken". Also speculating on a play on the word, Nod, in theory, it shows the land baby's head "nodding" downward.
Indirectly related to this theory, the apostle John wrote this regarding the assembly in Laodicea which is in the book of Revelation
Revelation 3:14 And unto the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the beginning of the creation of Elohim; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Verse seventeen
17 And Cain knew את-his woman; and she conceived, and she birthed את-Enoch: and became a builder of a city, and called the name of the city according to the name [(as the name)] of his son, Enoch.
The only way that Cain could have a wife is if he took one of his sisters with him to copulate, whether he first was exiled, came back a short time later after he was exiled, or he took a sister with her in his exile.
Looking at the word ENOCH
The Hebrew word for Enoch is "Khah-nokh"- Khet, Nun, Vav, Kaph Sophit (חנוך). It is from Strong's concordance number 2585, and its definition
From H2596; initiated; Chanok, an antediluvian patriarch: - Enoch.
from 5110 "khah-nakh" (חנך), and its definition
A primitive root; properly to narrow (compare H2614); figuratively to initiate or discipline: - dedicate, train up.
Enoch was focused to build.
Verses twenty three and twenty four
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, wives of Lamech, have the ear at my sayings: for I have killed a man to my wound, and a lad to my hurt (bruise). 24 For Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, and Lamech seventy and seven.
Lamech said to his two wives that Cain gets seven fold, but he gets seventy seven fold. So if anyone killed Lamech, they would be seventy seven times. Yeshua most likely played on Lamech's account in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to Him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Yeshua saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
It was also possible that Peter must have had recalled the account of Lamech's issue in this Torah portion passage, and that is why he asked Yeshua this question. But Yeshua showed him there was a redemptive side to this numeric matter, which is the power of forgiveness "seventy seven times", and redeemed the numbers that Lamech put out regarding the judgment against himself.
Yeshua revealed to us that forgiveness goes beyond human understanding and beyond human capability that is a Kingdom level that can only be done through Yeshua our Messiah. It is the same matter when we forgive ourselves. Yeshua also said this regarding forgiveness in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Also, these two verses in Genesis were most likekly the basis for the Torah of the manslayer and the avenger of blood in Numbers chapter thirty five.
Verse twenty five and twenty six
25 And Adam knew still (again) את-his woman; and she birthed a son, and she called את-his name, Seth: For Elohim has applied (put, substituted) to me another seed instead of Abel, for Cain killed him. 26 And to Seth, also he birthed a son; and called את-his name Enosh: then began (profane) to call on (in) Name of יהוה.
Looking at the following words:
SETH
The Hebrew word for Seth is "Sheyth"- Shin, Tav (שת). It is from Strong's concordance number 8352, and its definition
From H7896; put, that is, substituted; Sheth, third son of Adam: - Seth, Sheth.
from 7896 "sheeth" (שית), and its definition
A primitive root; to place (in a very wide application): - apply, appoint, array, bring, consider, lay (up), let alone, X look, make, mark, put (on), + regard, set, shew, be stayed, X take.
ENOSH
The Hebrew word for Enosh is "Eh-nosh"- Aleph, Nun, Vav, Shin (אנוש). It is from Strong's concordance number 583, and its definition
The same as H582; Enosh, a son of Seth: - Enos.
from 582 "eh-nosh" (אנוש), and its definition
From H605; properly a mortal (and thus differeing from the more dignified H120); hence a man in general (singly or collectively). It is often unexpressed in the English Version, especially when used in apposition with another word: - another, X [blood-] thirsty, certain, chap [-man], divers, fellow, X in the flower of their age, husband, (certain, mortal) man, people, person, servant, some (X of them), + stranger, those, + their trade. It is often unexpressed in the Engl. version, especially when used in apposition with another word. Compare H376.
from 605 "ah-nash" (אנש), and its definition
A primitive root; to be frail, feeble, or (figuratively) melancholy: - desperate (-ly wicked), incurable, sick, woeful.
It is possible that the reason it was in Enosh's time to call in the Name of hwhy, because Enosh was "mortal" in which it was in this was the beginning of mankind's mortal period to call upon the Name of hwhy.
Looking at the last half of verse twenty six again:
26 ...then began (profane) to call on (in) Name of hwhy.
Looking at the words BEGAN
The Hebrew word for began is "khah-lahl"- Khet, Lamed, Lamed (חלל). It is from Strong's concordance number 2490, and its definition
A primitive root (compare H2470); properly to bore, that is, (by implication) to wound, to dissolve; figuratively to profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one’s word), to begin (as if by an opening-wedge); denominatively (from H2485) to play (the flute): - begin (X men began), defile, X break, defile, X eat (as common things), X first, X gather the grape thereof, X take inheritance, pipe, player on instruments, pollute, (cast as) profane (self), prostitute, slay (slain), sorrow, stain, wound.
from 2470 "khah-lah" (חלה), and its definition
A primitive root (compare H2342, H2490); properly to be rubbed or worn; hence (figuratively) to be weak, sick, afflicted; or (causatively) to grieve, make sick; also to stroke (in flattering), entreat: - beseech, (be) diseased, (put to) grief, be grieved, (be) grievous, infirmity, intreat, lay to, put to pain, X pray, make prayer, be (fall, make) sick, sore, be sorry, make suit (X supplication), woman in travail, be (become) weak, be wounded.
from 2342 "kheel" or "khool" (חיל, חול), and its definition
A primitive root; properly to twist or whirl (in a circular or spiral manner), that is, (specifically) to dance, to writhe in pain (especially of parturition) or fear; figuratively to wait, to pervert: - bear, (make to) bring forth, (make to) calve, dance, drive away, fall grievously (with pain), fear, form, great, grieve, (be) grievous, hope, look, make, be in pain, be much (sore) pained, rest, shake, shapen, (be) sorrow (-ful), stay, tarry, travail (with pain), tremble, trust, wait carefully (patiently), be wounded.
According to Hebraic Roots/Messianic teachers, this Hebrew word should be translated as "profane", but it is commonly translated as "began".
Looking at the names of Adam through his son, Cain, and thier definitions:
Adam (In Hebrew "Ah-dahm" (אדם) (S121)): Man
Cain (In Hebrew "Kah-yeen" (קין) (S7014)): Lance, spear
Enoch (In Hebrew "Khah-nokh" (חנוך) (S2585, 2614)): Initiated, narrow, discipline, dedicate, train up, choke strangle
Irad (In Hebrew "Ee-rahd" (עירד) (S5897)): Fugitive, sequester
Mehujael (In Hebrew "M'khoo-yah-eyl/M'khee-yah-eyl" (מחייאל, מחויאל)(S4232 [4229 + 410])): Smitten of El
Methusael (In Hebrew "M'thoo-shah-eyl" (מתושאל) (S4967)): Extended Man of El
Lamech (In Hebrew "Lah-mekh" (למך) (3929)): [Unkown meaning] [despair], [strong, powerful]
Adah (In Hebrew "Ah-dah" (עדה) (S5710)): Ornament, adorning, taken away
Zillah (In Hebrew "Tsee-lah" (צלה) (S6741)): Shade, defense, shadow, obscurity, darkness
Jabal (In Hebrew "Yah-vahl" (יבל) (S2989)): Stream, course
Jubal (In Hebrew "Yoo-vahl" (יובל) (S3106)): stream, flow, carry, lead
Tubal Cain (In Hebrew "Too-vahl Kah-yeen" (תובל קין) (S5891 [2981 + 7014])): Offspring of a spear
Naamah (In Hebrew "Nah-ah-mah" (נעמה) (S5277)): Pleasantness, pleasure, agreement, beauty, delight, sweet
Putting the definitions of their names together, it tells a story:
"A man of a spear who was trained is now a fugitive who was smitten of El. He was an extended man of El, but through despair uses his adornment through shadows of darkness as a course of leadership, and uses the offspirng of his spear for his pleasure and delight"
This story is referring to Heylal in Hebrew, also known as HaSatan- the Devil, and his demonic people of the world, and HaSatan and his demonic people of the world have been influences of the world since mankind began, and are still doing it to this very day. Looking at the world's circumstances, we notice that HaSatan is working on overdrive by this message by giving pleasurable things, i.e. fancy iphones. Now, just recently, Microsoft just anounced that in Srping of 2017, they will have a Windows 10 update of providing a creative 3D program. Also, HaSatan is using the Muslim extremists to do his dirty work. As Brad Scott of Wildbranch Ministry and Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries say "The ending is declared from the beginning".

CHAPTER 5
Genesis 5:1-32
Gen 5:1 This was the enrollment (scroll) of the generations of Adam. In the day Elohim created Adam, in the likeness (resemblance, shapeness, modeling) of Elohim did (made) him; 2 created them remembered one (male) and perforated one (punctured one, female); and blessed them, and called את-their name Adam in the day of their creation. 3 And the life of Adam was thirty and a hundred years, and was the birthing in his likeness (resemblance, shapeness, modeling) according to his image; and called את-his name, Seth: 4 And the days of Adam after he birthed את-Seth, they were eight hundred years: and was the birthing of sons and daughters: 5 And all of the days which Adam lived, they were nine hundred years and thirty years: and the death (and died).
6 And the life of Seth was five years and a hundred years, and was the birthing of את-Enosh: 7 And Seth lived after he birthed את-Enosh seven years and eight hundred years, and was the birthing of sons and daughters: 8 And all of the days of Seth, they were two ten (twoteen, twelve) years and nine hundred years: and the death (and died).
9 And the life of Enosh was ninety years, and birthed את-Cainan: 10 And was the life of Enosh after he was the birthing of את-Cainan five ten (fiveteen, fifteen) years and eight hundred years, and was the birthing of sons and daughters: 11 And all of the days of Enosh, they were five years and nine hundred years: and the death (and died).
12 And was the life of Cainan seventy years, and was the birthing of את-Mahalaleel: 13 And was the life of Cainan after he birthed את-Mahalaleel forty years and eight hundred years, and was the birthing of sons and daughters: 14 And all of the days of Cainan, they were ten years and nine hundred years: and the death (and died).
15 And was the life of Mahalaleel five years and sixty years, and was the birthing of את-Jared: 16 And was the life of Mahalaleel after he birthed את-Jared thirty years and eight hundred years, and was the birthing of sons and daughters: 17 And all of the days of Mahalaleel, they were five and ninety years eight hundred ninety years: and the death (and died).
18 And Jared lived two and sixty years and a hundred years, and birthed את-Enoch: 19 And Jared lived after he birthed את-Enoch eight hundred years, and birthed sons and daughters: 20 And all of the days of Jared were two and sixty years and nine hundred years: and the death (and died).
21 And was the life of Enoch five and sixty years, and was the birthing of את-Methuselah: 22 And Enoch was walking את-The Elohim after he birthed את-Methuselah three hundred years, and was the birthing of sons and daughters: 23 And all of the days of Enoch were five and sixty years and three hundred years: 24 And was the walking of Enoch the Elohim: and he was not; for את-Elohim took him.
25 And was the life of Methuselah seven and eighty years and a hundred years, and was the birthing of את-Lamech: 26 And was the life of Methuselah after he birthed את-Lamech two and eighty years and seven hundred years, and was the birthing of sons and daughters: 27 And all of the days of Methuselah, they were nine and sixty years and nine hundred years: and the death (and died).
28 And was the life of Lamech two and eighty years and a hundred years, and was the birthing of a son: 29 And was the calling of את-his name Noah, to say, This one shall comfort (repent) us from our doings (work) and from the toil (pain) of our hands from her of Ground which hwhy had cursed her. 30 And was the life of Lamech after he birthed את-Noah five and ninety years and the five hundred years, and was the birthing of sons and daughters: 31 And all of the days of Lamech were seven and seventy years and seven hundred years: and the death (and died).
32 And Noah was a son of five hundred years: and was the birthing of Noah את-Shem, את-Ham, and את-Japheth.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)
By the time Shem was born, since the creation of man starting with Adam was 1558 years. Arpaxad was born two years after the flood during Shem's 100th year
Genesis 11:10 These were the birthings of Shem: Shem was a son of a hundred years, and was the birthing of את-Arphaxad two years after the flood: 11 And was the life of Shem after he birthed את-Arphaxad five hundred years, and was the birthing of sons and daughters.
This means that Shem was 98 years old at the time of the flood. Noah was 600 years old at the time of the flood based on Genesis 9:29. That means Shem was born when Noah was 502 years old.
Notice that Methuselah was the longest living on the earth for 969 years, almost a millenium.
In this chapter, it shows that the men "birthed" their sons and daughters.
Looking at the word BIRTHING
The Hebrew word for birthing is "yeh-lehd"- Yod, Lamed, Dalet (ילד). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3205, and its definition
A primitive root; to bear young; causatively to beget; medically to act as midwife; specifically to show lineage: - bear, beget, birth ([-day]), born, (make to) bring forth (children, young), bring up, calve, child, come, be delivered (of a child), time of delivery, gender, hatch, labour, (do the office of a) midwife, declare pedigrees, be the son of, (woman in, woman that) travail (-eth, -ing woman).
This Hebrew word is where we get our modern English word "lad".
Is it possible that the men participated in their wives' labors? There is a similar account of a man birthing children during Jacob's life
Genesis 50:23 And Joseph saw to Ephraim sons of the threes: also the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, they were birthed upon the knees of Joseph.
About 2,500 years of the age of mankind, the culture of men birthing still existed while Joseph was in Egypt.
Verses twenty eight and twenty nine
28 And was the life of Lamech two and eighty years and a hundred years, and was the birthing of a son: 29 And was the calling of את-his name Noah, to say, This one shall comfort (repent) us from our doings (work) and from the toil (pain) of our hands from her of Ground which hwhy had cursed her.
Question: Why did Lamech name his son, Noah, to say that he will comfort (repent) them from their work and toil? The answer goes back to the previous chapter three of this week's Torah portion that the ground was cursed on Adam's account. It must have been more or less unbearable during Lamech's time. I will apply this account later in this week's Torah portion.
Looking at the descendants of Adam through his son, Seth:
Adam (In Hebrew "Ah-dahm" (אדם) (S121)): Man
Seth (In Hebrew "Sheyth" (שת) (S5891)): Appointed, substituted, regarded
Enosh (In Hebrew "Eh-nosh" (אנוש) (S583)): Mortal, person
Cainan (In Hebrew "Key-nahn" (קינן) (S7018)): Fixed, nest, dwelling, room
Mehalaleel (In Hebrew "Mah-hah-lahl-eyl" (מהללאל) (S4111 [4110 + 410])): Praise of El
Jared (In Hebrew "Yah-rehd" (ירד) (S3382)): Descent, descend
Enoch (In Hebrew "Khah-nokh" (חנוך) (S2585)): Initiated, narrow, discipline, dedicate, train up
Methuselah (In Hebrew "m'thoo-sheh-lakh" (מתושלח) (S5891 [4962 + 7973])): Man of a dart, death that shall bring
Lamech (In Hebrew "Lah-mekh" (למך) (3929)): [Unkown meaning]
Noah (In Hebrew "Noh-akh" (נח) (S5146)): Rest
This is a chart that contains a message based on Adam and his descendants and the meaning of their names. Rico Cortes of Wisdom In Torah Ministries gets credit for revealing this to me:
Putting it together in sentence form:
"A man is appointed as a Mortal being sorrowful looking but is blessed of El to come down to train (or teach), and His death shall bring the despared (comfort and) rest"
This story made from their names reveals to us that יהוה was talking about the future Yeshua, the Messiah.

CHAPTER 6
Genesis 6:1-8
Gen 6:1 And was, when the Adam began (profane) to the multiplying upon the face of the Ground, and daughters, they were birthed to them, 2 and the sons of the Elohim, they saw את-the daughters of the Adam, they were for goodness; and they took wives for themselves of all which they chose. 3 And יהוה said, My Spirit shall not strive (judge) on the Adam for ages in their ignorance (error); he is flesh: and his days, they shall be a hundred and twenty years. 4 The giants (nephilim), they were on the Earth in those days; and also afterwards, for which they came, the sons of the Elohim were to the daughters of the Adam, and they birthed to them. They were the mighty ones which were of ages men of the name.
5 And יהוה saw for the evil of the Adam was great on the Earth, and every imagination (conception, form) of the intentions (cunningness, weavingness, plaitingness) of his heart was only evil all of the day, 6 and יהוה repented (sighed) for doing (making) את-the Adam on the Earth, and was grieved (vexed, hurt, fabricated?) to His Heart. 7 And יהוה said, I will wipe out (blot out) את-the Adam which I have created from upon the face of the Ground; from Adam, unto animal, unto the creeper, and unto the fowl (bird) of the Heavens; for I repent (sigh) for doing (making) them. 8 And Noah found grace in the Eyes of יהוה.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)
There are those that say that the sons of Elohim were angels. Yeshua made clear in the Gospel of Mark that angels are not able to progenerate
Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Angels cannot marry. It also means that they cannot copulate. hwhy did not provide private parts to them, and they were not able to copulate and produce children. They were not able to create their own private parts, because they are not capable to create them. Only יהוה can create, because He is "the Creator". So who were the sons of Elohim? It is noted in chapter four
Genesis 4:1 And the Adam knew את-Khavah (Eve), his woman; and she conceived, and she birthed את-Cain, and she said, I have gotten a man of יהוה-את.
In other words, the sons of hwhy were the descendants of "Cain".
The daughters of Adam were the descendants of Seth, as noted in chapter five
Genesis 5:3 And the life of Adam was thirty and a hundred years, and was the birthing in his likeness (resemblance, shapeness, modeling) according to his [Adam's] image; and called את-his name, Seth:
The descendants of Seth were not the Sons of hwhy, but were in the likeness of Adam, hence, they were the Sons of the Adam.
What the first two verses of chapter six were saying was that the sons of Cain mingled with the daughters of Seth. In time, the population growth between the descendants of Cain and Seth grew so much that they were within reach of each other's territories. A short period later, they started crossing each other's borders and started to intermingle with each other through intermarriage. That is why hwhy was displeased with mankind, because Cain was not supposed to have been married in the first place, let alone his descendants with Seth's descendants, and to not settle down but to be a wanderer.
Also, this is the earliest time period in human history that Adam's descendants filled the land baby.
Noah was first mentioned in the last chapter
Genesis 5:28 And was the life of Lamech two and eighty years and a hundred years, and was the birthing of a son: 29 And was the calling of ta-his name Noah, to say, This one shall comfort (repent) us from our doings (work) and from the toil (pain) of our hands from her of Ground which hwhy had cursed her.
Looking at the following words:
NOAH
The Hebrew word for Noah is "Noh-akh"- Nun, Khet (נח). Noah's name is from Strong's Concordance number 5146, and its definition
The same as H5118; rest; Noach, the patriarch of the flood: - Noah.
from 5118 "noh-akh" or "noo-akh" (נוח or נוח), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to sigh, that is, breathe strongly; by implication to be sorry, that is, (in a favorable sense) to pity, console or (reflexively) rue; or (unfavorably) to avenge (oneself): - comfort (self), ease [one’s self], repent (-er, -ing, self).
This is the same Hebrew word that Lamech, Noah's son, named Noah for this reason as noted above:
28 And was the life of Lamech two and eighty years and a hundred years, and was the birthing of a son: 29 And was the calling of ta-his name Noah (xn), to say, This one shall comfort (repent) (נחם) us from our doings (work) and from the toil (pain) of our hands from her of Ground which hwhy had cursed her.
The Hebrew word for repent (נחם) is the same word in chapter five verse twenty nine for comfort, as revealed in same verse below:
6 and hwhy repented (sighed) (נחם) for doing (making) ta-the Adam on the Earth, and was grieved (vexed, hurt, fabricated?) to His Heart.
This Hebrew word was also used in chapter five, verse twenty eight, as noted above. That chapter five passage could also be translated that Noah shall "repent" them from their work and toil. hwhy in this week's Torah portion passage "repents" from making mankind from the Heavens, but Noah will be the "repenting end" for his family and his descendants to hwhy for mankind's sake from the Earth.

Verse eight
8 And Noah found grace in the Eyes of hwhy.
Looking at the following word GRACE
The Hebrew word for grace is "kheyn"- Nun, Khet, Nun Sophit (Nx). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2580, and its definition
From H2603; graciousness, that is, subjectively (kindness, favor) or objectively (beauty): - favour, grace (-ious), pleasant, precious, [well-] favoured.
from 2603 "khah-nahn" (Nnx), and its definition
A primitive root (compare H2583); properly to bend or stoop in kindness to an inferior; to favor, bestow; causatively to implore (that is, move to favor by petition): - beseech, X fair, (be, find, shew) favour (-able), be (deal, give, grant (gracious (-ly), intreat, (be) merciful, have (shew) mercy (on, upon), have pity upon, pray, make supplication, X very.
That is why hwhy found grace in Noah, because Noah's name is a play on the word "repent".
Rico Cortes of Wisdom In Torah Ministries noted that The word "grace" in the Hebrew is Khen- Khet, Nun Sophit (Nx), which is Noah's name backwards, as exampled with the verse below:
8 And Noah (xn) found grace (Nx) in the Eyes of hwhy.
Therefore hwhy only allowed Noah to be delivered from hwhy's wrath on the earth. Thank you Rico.
