For more information, please refer to the book Origin of the Universe.īack to Strong’s. So, this excellent beginning somehow got into a state of chaotic destruction and the 7 day creation week was to REcreate a stunning, appropriate environment for humankind. In the previous Key 3, we saw that beginning (beraisheet) also has the meaning excellent. We now have a chronology problem to solve. This chaotic scene was present BEFORE creation week. There is much to learn from this deep that corroborates the tohu and bohu. KJV – break, consume, crush, destroy, discomfit, trouble, vex. הָמַם hâmam haw-mam’ a primitive root (compare H1949 (הוּם), H1993 (הָמָה)) properly, to put in commotion by implication, to disturb, drive, destroy: KJV – destroy, move, make a noise, put, ring again. הוּם hûwm hoom a primitive root (compare H2000 (הָמַם)) to make an uproar, or agitate greatly: תְּהוֹם tᵉhôwm teh-home’ or תְּהֹם (usually feminine) from H1949 (הוּם) an abyss (as a surging mass of water), especially the deep (the main sea or the subterranean watersupply): Here is Strong’s reference to darkness, followed by 2 verses in the Old and one verse in the New Testament to confirm the use of the literal and figurative 4th key. Instead of giving them a quick glance, let’s unlock Bible meaning. They correspond to Strong’s H2822 and H8415. Here’s the first part of Genesis 1:2, “And the earth was without form, and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep…” Immediately following this description of the decrepit state of the Earth, we see the words darkness and deep. Think of the implication for comprehension when we miss over fifty percent of the author’s meaning? From the start, in the first five minutes of the Genesis narrative, God uses the literal and figurative key. The FIGURATIVE comprehension is at least, if not more important than the literal translation. If all you grasp from Genesis 1:2 is the LITERAL darkness, you’ve missed at least half the meaning which the translations cannot transmit. This is not an interpretation, it is Bible corroboration. Other contexts clearly reveal their FIGURATIVE meanings. We apply our knowledge of the LITERAL meaning of these words and don’t give it more attention than that.Ī basic understanding of the usage of Biblical Hebrew, namely, the 4th key, the literal and figurative meaning of words, is essential as we will see. If you read such words as darkness, deep, light, even words like beginning, create, heaven, in the context before creation in Genesis 1:1-2, ONLY keeping in mind your native language meanings, you are missing the essential understanding. In Genesis 1:2 we read, “darkness was upon the face of the deep.” For the Biblical Hebrew words: Darkness and deep the 4th Key, literal and figurative meaning of Biblical Hebrew words, swings into action. Figuratively, they unlock the world of spirit beings. Darkness and Deep literally picture ocean depth.
