Sabbath study, xiv: Genesis 7-9 (improvised/proofread + notes/commentary)
Biblical vindication: not merely a destination, but a spiritually purifying process constituting a continual upwards journey climbing unto Mount Sanctified!
Genesis 7-9 (E.G.’s literal translation from the Masoretic Text)
[cf. this interlinear source]
Genesis 7
1 This [is the] genealogy [of] Noah! Noah [is a] mortal vindicated entirely, it comes to pass! in generations. 2 Among the God walks Noah. 3 And begets Noah three sons: selfsame Shem, selfsame Ham, and selfsame Japheth. [SETUMAH] 4 And corrupts the land toward [the] face [of] the God, 5 and upfills the land violence. 6 And sees God selfsame the land, and behold! corruption. 7 Indeed! corrupted all flesh selfsame way upon the land. 8 And says God toward Noah, ‘[The] end [of] all flesh enters toward [the] face! 9 Indeed! upfilled [is] the land [of] violence from [the] face, 10 and lo! corruption [shall be] among the land.’ [SETUMAH] 11 ‘Make towards [an] ark [of] tree [of] gopher! 12 Nests [shall be] made among the ark, and cover selfsame from house and from outside in covering. 13 And this [is] which made [shall be] selfsame! three hundred cubits [shall be the] length [of] the ark, fifty cubits [the] width, and thirty cubits [the] height. 14 [A] midday [shall be] made towards [the] ark, and unto [a] cubit complete from towards upward, and [the] door [of] the ark in [the] side [shall be] placed. 15 Lowest, second, and third [shall be] made. 16 And I, lo! [shall] enter selfsame the flood [of] water upon the land towards corrupting all flesh—which [is] in [the] spirit [of] life—from beneath the heaven. 17 All which [are] in land [shall] perish! and arisen [shall be] selfsame [the] covenant among, and enter unto the ark [shall] you, and sons, and wife, and wives [of] sons, among.’ [SETUMAH] 18 ‘And from all the life from all flesh, two from all [shall] enter unto the ark toward living among, male and female, it comes to pass! from the bird toward species and from the cattle toward species. 19 From all [the] creeper [of] the ground toward species, two from all [shall] enter unto toward living. 20 And you! intake toward from all edible which [shall be] eaten, and ingather unto. 21 And it comes to pass! toward you and toward them [shall it be] toward food.’ 22 And makes Noah according to all which charges selfsame God—verity! [he] makes. [SETUMAH] 23 And says Jᴇʜᴏᴠᴀʜ toward Noah, ‘Enter! you and all [your] house, unto the ark—indeed! selfsame [is] seen vindicated toward [the] face in generation the this. 24 From all the cattle [of] the pure, intake toward seven [by] seven: husband and wife; and from the cattle which [are] not pure, it [shall be] two: husband and wife. 25 Yea! from [the] bird [of] the heaven, seven [by] seven: male and female, toward living seed upon [the] face [of] all the land. 26 Indeed! toward days yet seven, I [shall] enrain upon the land forty days and forty nights, and erased [shall be] selfsame all the living thing which [were] made from upon [the] face [of] the ground.’ 27 And makes Noah according to all which charges Jᴇʜᴏᴠᴀʜ! [PETUCHAH]
Genesis 8
1 And Noah [is a] son [of] six hundred [of] year, and the flood, it comes to pass! [of] water [is] upon the land. 2 And enters Noah, and sons, and wife, and wives [of] sons, among, unto the ark from [the] face [of] water [of] the flood. 3 From the cattle [of] the pure, and from the cattle which [are] nothing pure, and from the bird, and all which creep upon the ground, two [by] two enter unto Noah unto the ark, male and female according to which charged God selfsame Noah. 4 And it comes to pass! toward seven the days, and water [of] the flood, it comes to pass! [is] upon the land. 5 In year six hundredth year towards [the] life [of] Noah, in month the second, in [the] seventeenth day towards [the] month, in day the this, upbreaks all springs [of the] abyss exceedingly, and lattices [of] the heaven spacify. 6 And it comes to pass! the shower [is] upon the land forty [of] day and forty [of] night. 7 In [the] bone [of] the day [of] the this, enters Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth—[the] sons [of] Noah—and [the] wife [of] Noah, and [the] three wives [of] sons, among, unto the ark. 8 They! and all the life toward species, and all the cattle toward species, and all the creeper—the creeping upon the land—toward species, and all the bird toward species—all [the] birdling [of] all winged—and enter unto Noah unto the ark, two [by] two from all the flesh which [is] in [the] spirit [of] life. 9 And the entering [is] male and female from all flesh, entering according to which charges selfsame God, and encloses Jᴇʜᴏᴠᴀʜ roundabout. 10 And it comes to pass! the flood [is] forty [of] day upon the land. [SETUMAH] 11 And multiplies the water, and uplifts selfsame the ark, and exalts from upon the land! 12 And prevails the water, and multiplies abundantly upon the land! 13 And walks the ark upon [the] face [of] the water. 14 And the water prevails abundant [times] abundant upon the land! and overspreads all the mountains [of] the high which [are] beneath all the heaven. 15 Fifteen cubits from toward upward prevails the water! and overspread [are] the mountains. 16 And perishes all flesh [of] the creeping upon the land, in bird, and in cattle, and in life, and in all the teeming—the teeming upon the land—and all the man. 17 All which breathes [the] spirit [of] life in nostrils—from all which [are] in dry land—died! 18 And erased [are] selfsame all the living thing which [are] upon [the] face [of] the ground, from man, even unto cattle! even unto creeper! and even unto bird [of] the heaven! 19 And erased [are they] from the land, and remains only! Noah and [those] which [are] among in [the] ark. 20 And prevails the water upon the land fifty and hundred [of] day. 21 And remembers God selfsame Noah! and selfsame all the life, and selfsame all the cattle, which [are] among in [the] ark. 22 And overpasses God [a] spirit upon the land, and subsides the water, and halts springs [of the] abyss and lattices [of] the heaven. 23 And restrained [is] the shower from the heaven! and backturns the water from upon the land walking. 24 And backturned! and diminished, [is] the water from [the] uttermost [of] fifty and hundred [of] day. 25 And rests the ark in month the seventh, in [the] seventeenth day towards [the] month, upon [the] mountains [of] Ararat! 26 And the water, it comes to pass! walks and diminishes even unto the month [of] the tenth. 27 In [the] tenth, in [the] oneth towards [the] month, seen [are the] heads [of] the mountains! [SETUMAH] 28 And it comes to pass! from [the] end [of] forty [of] day, and spacifies Noah selfsame [the] window [of] the ark which [he] made, and outsends selfsame the raven, and forthgoes [in] forthgoing, and backturns even unto [the] updrying [of] the water from upon the land. 29 And outsends selfsame the dove from among toward seeing that lightened [is] the water from upon [the] face [of] the ground, and not finds the dove resting-place toward [the] palm [of] foot! and backturns untoing unto the ark. 30 Indeed! water [is] upon [the] face [of] all the land, and outsends hand, and intakes, and enters selfsame untoing unto the ark. 31 And enbears yet seven days another! and again outsends selfsame the dove from the ark, and enters unto the dove toward [the] time [of] evening, and behold! [a] leaf [of] olive fresh-plucked in [the] mouth. 32 And knows Noah, indeed! lightened [is] the water from upon the land. 33 And enpatiences yet seven days another! and outsends selfsame the dove, and not again backturns unto yet. 34 And it comes to pass! in [the] one and six hundredth year, in [the] first, in [the] oneth towards [the] month, wasted [is] the water from upon the land. 35 And asideturns Noah selfsame [the] weatherboard [of] the ark, and sees, and behold! wasted [is the] face [of] the ground. 36 And in month the second, in [the] seventh and twenty day towards [the] month, updried [is] the land! [PETUCHAH]
Genesis 9
1 And declares God unto Noah, and says, ‘Forthgo from the ark! you, and wife, and sons, and wives [of] sons, among. 2 All the life which [are] among from all flesh, in bird, and in cattle, and in all the creeper [of] the creeping upon the land, [shall] forthgo [times] forthgo among! and teem in land, and fructify and multiply upon the land.’ 3 And forthgoes Noah, and sons, and wife, and wives [of] sons among! 4 All the life, all the creeper, and all the bird—all creeping upon the land toward families—forthgoes from the ark. 5 And builds Noah [an] altar toward Jᴇʜᴏᴠᴀʜ, and intakes from all the cattle [of] the pure, and from all the bird [of] the pure, and ascendifies burnt offerings in [the] altar. 6 And smells Jᴇʜᴏᴠᴀʜ selfsame [the] scent [of] the soothing, and says Jᴇʜᴏᴠᴀʜ unto conscience, ‘Not again [shall be] towards lightening yet selfsame the ground, in [the] sake [of] the man. 7 Indeed! [the] purposing [of the] conscience [of] man [is] evil from youth. 8 And not again yet [shall be] toward smiting selfsame all life according to which made, yet all days [of] the land—seed and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night—not cease.’ [SETUMAH] 9 And blesses God selfsame Noah and selfsame sons, and says toward, ‘Fructify and multiply! and upfill selfsame the land. 10 And reverence and dread, it comes to pass! [shall be] upon all life [of] the land, and upon all [the] bird [of] the heaven, in all which creep the ground, and in all fish [of] the sea, in [your] hand set! 11 All [the] creeper—which it [is] alive—[shall be] toward, it comes to pass! toward food, according to green herb set toward selfsame all. 12 Only! flesh in soul blood not [shall be] eaten. 13 And only selfsame blood toward souls [shall be] required from [the] hand—all life required—and from [the] hand [of] the man, from [the] hand [of the] husband’s brother [shall be] required selfsame [the] soul [of] the man. 14 Shed [the] blood [of] the man, in man blood [shall be] shed—indeed! in [the] image [of] God [was] made selfsame the man. 15 And you! fructify and multiply, teeming in land and multiplying in [it].’ [SETUMAH] 16 And says God unto Noah and unto sons among toward saying, ‘And I, lo! arise selfsame [the] covenant among [you] and among seed afterwards, and among all [the] soul [of] the life which [are] among in bird, in cattle, and in all life [of] the land among from all forthgoing the ark toward all life [of] the land. 17 And arisen [is] selfsame [the] covenant among! and not severed [shall be] all flesh yet from water [of] the flood, and not, it comes to pass! yet [a] flood towards corrupting the land.’ [SETUMAH] 18 And says God, ‘This [is the] mark [of] the covenant which I set between [Me] and between [you] and between all soul life which [are] among toward generations everlasting! selfsame [the] bow [is] set in [the] cloud, 19 and it comes to pass! toward [the] mark [of the] covenant between [Me] and between the land. 20 And it comes to pass! in enclouding [the] cloud upon the land, and seen [shall be] the bow in [the] cloud, 21 and remembered [shall be] selfsame [the] covenant which [is] between [Me] and between [you] and between all soul life in all flesh! 22 and not, it comes to pass! yet the water towards flood toward corrupting all flesh. 23 And it comes to pass! the bow [shall be] in [the] cloud, and seen towards remembering [the] covenant [of] everlasting between God and between all soul life in all flesh which [is] upon the land.’ 24 And says God unto Noah, ‘This [is the] mark [of] the covenant which [is] arisen between [Me] and between all flesh which [are] upon the land!’ [SETUMAH] 25 And it comes to pass! [the] sons [of] Noah [of] the forthgoing from the ark [are] Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. 26 And Ham—it—[is the] father [of] Canaan. 27 Three [are] these sons [of] Noah, and from these enscatters all the land. 28 And profanes Noah [the] mortal the ground, and plants [a] vineyard, and drinks from the juice, and intoxicates, and nudifies in [the] midst [of the] tabernacle. 29 And saw Ham—[the] father [of] Canaan—selfsame [the] nudity [of his] father, and conspicuifies toward [his] two brothers in [the] outside. 30 And intakes Shem and Japheth selfsame the clothing, and placed upon [the] shoulder twofold, and walked backward, 31 and overspread selfsame [the] nudity [of their] father. 32 And [their] faces [are] backward, and [the] nudity [of their] father [is] not seen. 33 And awakens Noah from juice, and knows selfsame which make towards [did his] son [of] the small, and says, ‘Cursed [shall be] Canaan! servant [of] servants [shall he be], it comes to pass! toward brothers,’ 34 and says, ‘Blessed [be] Jᴇʜᴏᴠᴀʜ [the] God [of] Shem! and it comes to pass! Canaan [shall be] servant towards. 35 Upopen, God, towards Japheth! and abide [shall he] in [the] tabernacles [of] Shem, and it comes to pass! Canaan [shall be] servant towards.’ [SETUMAH] 36 And lived Noah after the flood three hundred [of] year and fifty [of] year. 37 And it comes to pass! all [the] days [of] Noah [are] nine hundred [of] year and fifty [of] year, and [he] died. [PETUCHAH]
E.G.’s notes + commentary
the ancient Semitic-Hebraic setumah (ס) and petuchah (פ) structural dividers are repurposed as respectively pericope and chapter divisions according to this general pattern:
setumah (ס) demarcates one pericope from another within a chapter, demonstrating how the continuous pericopes comprising a chapter encompass their own completed “local” messengerial purpose while flowing from its preceding pericope and/or flowing to the next pericope within any particular chapter—pericopal chiasms will almost definitely always be demarcated as each being setumah-defined from the beginning of the a branch to the conclusion to the a’ branch
petuchah (פ) demarcates one chapter from another within an entire book, signifying the complete narratives that comprise the at-large book—unlike setumah closed-space gaps within a line, petuchah marks the beginning of a new chapter on a fresh new line to convey that the subsequent narrative unit is not simply an uninterrupted continuation of the previous one
7:1-3: Noah’s status as a vindicated human being meant that he was declared righteous according to his perfected obedience towards Jehovah, covered by the imputed righteousness of Jehovah’s image whose messianic arrival was faithfully believed as a promise; also, note that the original MT Hebrew doesn’t read only “God” (elohim) but rather “the God” (h’elohim)—this is indeed referring to Jehovah and not simply “the gods/judges,” because it is stated very subsequently that the entire planet was consumed in sin, and therefore Noah’s vindication could not have been premised on his adherence to the ways of earthly rulers who by that point were morally corrupted concurrent to the general late-antediluvian dilapidation
7:4-10: the first pericopal chiasm comprising the A.iii sub-branch almond unit of the at-large chiasm—note the a/a’ outer branch correspondence! just as the inhabitants of the planet defiled themselves unto spiritual corruption, so too Jehovah granted them their will to be done and their self-sealed fates assured unto permanent material destruction
7:11-15: this is the B.i.I sub-pericopal unit detailing God’s instructive ordinances concerning the outlined architecture of the tabernacle to preserve living flesh toward the repopulation of the planet after the old world and its perditious Old World Order faced its long-awaited annihilation
7:16-17: God’s justice and mercy intertwined in the B.i.II sub-pericopal unit—the very flood dooming the entire world’s sinful human inhabitants for their grotesque crimes according to the just determination of Jehovah is the same one concurrently representing God’s mercy towards Noah and those surviving on the ark with him
7:18-21: the biblical framework is very explicit in defining the covenantal promise of redemption as compositely intertwined male and female components in a strictly monogamous framework
7:22: Noah believed in Jehovah’s promise and built the ark in a project that took decades upon decades as he faced derision, scorn, and mockery from his wicked human peers who likely too called him a “conspiracy theorist” and “cynically deranged schizo nutjob” for warning that Jehovah would exterminate the whole planet for their descent into bedrock-bottom depravity
7:23-27: it took Noah up to some 100-120 years (I determine not) to build the ark, and only after the entire massive boat was built did his Creator tell him of his vindication within his earthly contemporaneous generation—the project did not encompass the toiling sweat and intertwined physical + spiritual burden of labor (imagine just how much mocking scorn Noah faced for all those decades as he was left alone in the midst of a universally abominable world!) for only a week, or a month, or even just a year, but for scores of years on end, and yet Noah’s name is recorded as a preacher of righteousness1 whose life was defined by faith in Jehovah,2 the God of Heaven
8:1-10: the entering unto the ark was not as individuals, but rather marital pairs, one pair at a time
8:11-15: Jehovah’s appointed watering unto justice prevailed over the vain efforts of sinful men to float and survive—God undoubtedly and overwhelmingly wins in the end over His enemies, simple as that!
8:16-20: the survival of Noah and all flesh with him in the ark typified—as the antediluvian prototype—the plan of salvation confirmed in the New Covenant, wherein baptism is the antitype3—as Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Verily! Verily! I say to you: if any one may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God”4
8:21: this is the chief centrality of the entire chiasm, the D.d almond of the candlestick shaft—God will not forget His covenant people, but will assuredly remember them and all flesh with them, in antitype promising to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh in the last days5 when the spiritual spring rain—the doctrinal teachings of Jehovah God6—will precipitate from lightning-flashes in massive showers to fulfill the Noahic Covenant7
8:22-27: as a direct result of God remembering Noah and all flesh with him, Providence marks the completed fulfilling purpose of the Great Flood in its ordained effecting unto destruction of the old world, and backturns the water chiastically—just as the left side of the D shaft of the at-large chiasm is: a (mountains covered) → b (redemption in the ark) → c (150 days); thereby the right side is: c’ (150 days) → b’ (redemption in the ark) → a’ (mountains visible again)
8:28-36: rather than become impatient, Noah remains diligent in the faith of the image of Jehovah, verifying and bearing for additional days until it is certain without a doubt that all of the deluge waters have dissipated
9:1-4: again! Noah obeyed the commandments of Jehovah
9:5-8: this served as the typifying seal of faithfully walking with Jehovah—Noah’s first executive action after leaving the ark at long last to walk on a freshly desolated and parched land was not to satisfy his own fleshly desires, but rather to serve his Creator out of a pure heart and offer burnt offerings in what ostensibly demonstrated his heartfelt admission that no righteousness exists in a mortal human being apart from what is imputed by Jehovah according to His plan of salvation for humanity, and that man’s duty is to fear God and keep His commandments8—God therefore accepted the burnt offerings and declared a promise of mercy
9:9-15: on the left side of this pericopal chiasm is demonstrated God’s merciful generosity toward His created human beings in their divinely granted magnified standing out of the earthly creation, and on the right side is shown His demanded justice unto the preservation of righteousness in an inherently sinful world
9:16-17: God keeps His promise of the assured covenant with Noah
9:18-24: the A’.iii’ pericopal chiasm here highlights the promise of the rainbow9 and antitypical watering unto redemption, whose centrality beautifully mirrors the very center of the at-large chiasm of this entire Flood narrative itself: Jehovah will 100% redeem His faithfully penitent adherents in truth and spirit because He shall remember the covenant and by extension those within it
9:25-35: just as in heaven where a third of the angels followed Satan in rebellion against Jehovah,10 so too upon the earth where one out of three of Noah’s sons chose wickedness, for there is nothing new under the sun11
9:36-37: Noah lived and died a vindicated man in the sight of Jehovah his God—is not his incredible life an example for humanity to consider and internalize in antitype, kindling the spark of hope in every individual person who seeks an everlasting righteousness not of this perverted, abominable late-stage postdiluvian planet run by the Anglo-Zionist-Maltese-Nazi-Masonic counterparts of the late antediluvian world leaders whose utter extirpation typified what the Second Coming of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will bring upon the entire planet in the end of time?12
