Genesis 3:6
And the Woman is perceiving, for he has become good the Wood for a food, and for a desire himself to the Dual-Eyes, and he-who-is-coveted is the Wood to cause to be prudent,114 and she is taking from his fruit, and she is eating, and she is giving, also to the woman close beside herself,115 and he is eating.
The Queen Rises to Hear the Wisdom of Himself - Song of Solomon 2:3
And the Woman is perceiving, because the Tree has become good for food, and that Himself is a longing desire to the dual Eyes. And the Tree, he is desired to make prudent. And she is taking hold from the fruit of himself, and she is eating, and she is giving also to the woman close beside herself. And he is eating.
"As an apple tree within the trees of the Forest, my beloved is an upright one in between the Sons/Builders. Within the shadow of himself I have delighted; and I have sat down; and the fruit of himself is a sweet one to the roof of my mouth."
(Song of Solomon 2:3 RBT)And the woman will see that the tree is good for food, and that it is a desire to the eyes, and a tree desired to make wise; and she will take from its fruit and will eat, and will give also to her man with her, and he will eat.
And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise. And she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes to look upon and beautiful to contemplate, and having taken of its fruit she ate, and she gave to her husband also with her, and they ate.
Footnotes
| 114 | Strong’s #7919, sakal. Primitively to interweave. Not the normal late Hebrew word for wisdom which is chakam (#2449). It is used only two times in Genesis. In late Hebrew this word is often used in the sense of insight, prudence, understanding. The root also has another primary meaning shakal as "to bereave" or "abortion". In Hosea 9:14 it is used in the negative sense of "miscarriage". Gesenius defines the primary meaning as "to look at, to behold" and that the idea of prudent or insight as it might mean here is "figurative." The second use found in Genesis provides an obvious concrete definition: And Israel is sending אֶת-his right-one, and he is setting upon the head of Dual-Fruit, and himself is the Little-one, and אֶת-his left-one upon the head of Forgotten; he has crossed[sakal] אֶת-his dual-hands… (Gen. 48:14) Of particular interest, in the book of Proverbs we find its figurative definition in the context of a wife: an interwoven [sakal] wife is from the Lord (Prov. 19:14) |
| 115 | Strong’s #5973, עם im. With, close beside, equally with. Its meaning is most apparent in the name Immanuel, “el close beside us”. In Deut. 8:5 Yahweh says, “you have perceived with your heart”. One might “be pleased with” or “speak with”. It can also mean against as in “strive with” (Gen. 26:20), or “wrestled with” (Gen. 30:8) or “rebellious you have been with Yahweh” (Deut. 31:27). But the proximity remains the the point. “He has ransomed in peace my breath from the battle for me, for in abundance there has been close beside myself.” Psalm 55:18 literal “Who is standing up for me close beside those who cause ruined-one? Who is standing himself for me with workers of sorrow?” Psalm 94:16 literal “You are not making close beside myself elohe of silver” Exodus 20:23 literal אישה means woman/each woman, as everywhere else. No one perhaps even thought to explore this more immediate meaning, and instead settled for the traditional איש-ה "man" with a feminine possessive suffix. "Her man" or "man of herself" is atypical however and does not align with the language of "woman/wife of himself" that is so predominate throughout the Hebrew texts. Nor is the form or term "her man" seen used anywhere else. The last clause, "and he is eating" indeed would throw off many. But the context lies in the very first instance of this word עמה "close beside her" or "equally with her." This is an important preposition used by the Daughters of Jerusalem when speaking to "the Beautiful Bride": ונבקשנו עמך "and we will seek after him close beside/equally with you." (Song of Songs 6:1 RBT) |
