Genesis 8:1
And elohim is memorializing300 אֶת-Rest, and אֶת-the whole of the Life, and אֶת-the whole of the Behemah whom is את-him in the Chest, and elohim is causing a wind to cross-over upon301 the Earth, and the Dual-Waters are being calmed,302
Footnote:
| 302 | Strong’s #7918, shakak. To incline, stoop (to lay a trap), or to lay in wait. “A primitive root; to weave (i.e. Lay) a trap; figuratively, (through the idea of secreting).” The abstract interpretation was “decrease, subside”. This verb occurs only 5 times, once here in Genesis. Jer. 5:26 provides a clue “For wicked ones have been found in my people; he [the people?] is looking-on according to the laying [shak] of [fowler]snares.” Elohim’s vengeance, the ambush of Heaven? Cf. Isaiah 66. This is perhaps symbolically the wind elohim brings from the “East” to “turn back” the Dual-Waters. The event appears paralleled in Exodus 14:21 among other places, “Then Moses stretched out אֶת-his hand upon the Sea, and YAHWEH is causing-to-walk אֶת-the Sea in a strong wind of the east/front the whole of the Night and set the Sea to the Desolate-one, and the dual-waters has been cleaved.” Ex. 14:21 literal Many prophets speak a great deal about the “east/front wind”. |
