Genesis 3:24
And אֶת-the Red-one he is driving out148 and is causing to settle from the front [east] to the enclosure of Eden אֶת-the Cherubim149 and אֶת-a flame of the Sword of the One-who-turns-herself150 to guard אֶת-the road151 of the Wood of the Living-ones.
Footnote:
| 150 | Hebrew החרב המתהפכת. Definite articles. Feminine singular participle Hithpael verb of to turn, change, turn about/over, i.e the Sword of the One-who-turns-herself. Like a wheel. The same participle is used in a picture of a loaf of bread, which was round, in Judges 7:13, “And as Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream. ‘Behold, I had a dream,’ he said, ‘and I saw a loaf of barley bread come turning-over into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent so hard that the tent turned-over [haphak] and collapsed.’” |
