Genesis 1:10
Footnote:
| 23 | Strong’s #4723, miqveh. A binding place, collection. This word speaks of a place where things bind or unite as in a reservoir or pool, or rope (as twisted together). The rope is seen as symbolic for hope. The NT uses the pool in many instances as a place of hope. “as a shadow are our days upon the Earth, and there is not a pool [miqveh].” (1 Chron. 29:15 RBT) “and now, there is a pool [miqveh] in Israel upon this one.” (Ezra 10:2 RBT) “A pool [miqveh] of Israel, his savior in time of trouble…” (Jer. 14:8 RBT) “The pool [miqveh] of Israel is Yahweh, the whole of those-who-forsake you are being ashamed, my departed-ones in the Earth are being written for they have forsaken the spring of the dual water ones, living-ones [from beginning to end את] of Yahweh.” (Jer. 17:13 RBT) “Yahweh, the pool [miqveh] of their fathers” (Jer. 50:7 RBT) |
