The full study is now on line covering the Alef-Beyt here in my blog. This is a beginners program to teach letters, vowels, and reading. The vowels are marked in this bible and are designed to help avoid confusion on what a word is and how it is pronounced. The confusion is obvious in the hundreds of interpretations globally.
Anyone who has done a bit of gardening knows what stepping on a thorn feels like. They had not been a part of daily life until disobedience because a reality. In a way, every day disobedience can still cause painful things to sprout on our path. Food for thought. In an earlier lesson we saw the famous wedding verse and today we have seen the famous funeral verse.
Here we see that the earth is now cursed because "the Adam" had listened to his wife and eaten from the tree against the instructions from God.
Last week the woman was promised pain in childbearing. Now the man is told that he will be in pain all the days of his life. Thorns and thistles sprouting, he will eat vegetation of the field (vegetarian?) and with sweat on his face he will eat bread until he returns to the ground.
Then the all too famous funeral verse...
"Because from the dust you were taken and to dust you will return."
The man then named his wife Havah. He said it was because she will be the mother of all of the alive one.
I wonder if the singular is of significance. The alive one.
It is interesting that "the Adam" had just been promised a painful, hard life and decomposition at the end of it, but he chose to look at the bright side and looked forward to his wife having children.
