Scriptures II


The Role of Echad dx'adx'aPrevious question #11. If the Almighty performs a

“separation” on something, can those items ever be “joined” again into a “compound unity”?

Yes for the two sticks and Yes for Adam and Eve.

What about night and day?


The Role of Echad dx'adx'aThe light that was formed was

separated from the darkness that had been previously created. Genesis 1:4

With Echad dx'a present in the Hebrew text of Genesis 1:5, what do the two witnesses in that Hebrew text tell us about the light and the darkness?


The Role of Echad dx'adx'a#2 dx'a echad

#1 yhiy yaha

yhiy yaha is another particle. (between) Not a preposition but a conjunction

A conjunction is used to connect two words, sentences, phrases, or clauses together


Conjunctions in HebrewIn English, we say,

“John and Mary went to the park.”In Hebrew, this would be “And John and Mary went to the

park.”“And John and. Mary went to the

park.”


The Role of yaha yhiyyhiy1. 5:21 When Enoch had lived 65

years, he became the father of Methuselah.

2. 5:22 And walked Enoch with Elohim after he begat Methuselah 300 years, and begat sons and daughters.

Conjunctions join phrases

yhiy.

65 years + 300 years.

were 65 years (v21) + 300 years (v22).What just happened?5:23 does not follow chronologically after vs.

21 & 22. Rather, it gives a brief summary exactly how long Enoch’s life was.

It does this by using the conjunction yaha

yhiy to combine the previous two phrases.


The Role of yaha yhiyyhiyWhat we have seen is a sub-section

of two verses that tell the events of a man’s life and then concludes with the following statement:

Therefore (thus, summarizing, in summary), the days of X were Y years

This is performed on the two verses (phrases) by the use of a conjunction.


The Role of yaha yhiyyhiyThis happens 8 other times in Genesis

5 making a total of 9 and they are all the same.

Now, let’s break down Genesis 1:5 in the same way.

After that, we will look at witness #2,

echad dx'a


Genesis 1:5a

~Ay rAal‘ ~yhil{a/ ar'q.YIw:

day light Elohim called And

hl'y>l' ar'q' %v,xol;w night called darkness And


Genesis 1:5b ~Ay rAal‘ ~yhil{a/ ar'q.YIw:



dx'a, ~Ay rq,bo - yhiy>w: br,[ ,- yhiy>w::

one day morning ??? Evening ???
































Genesis 1:5 ~Ay rAal‘ ~yhil{a/ ar'q.YIw:






Conjunctions in HebrewIn Hebrew, this would be “And John and Mary went to the

park.”


Genesis 1:5b dx'a, ~Ay rq,bo - yhiy>w: br,[ ,- yhiy>w::

one day morning ??? Evening ???Here’s a conjunction joining two words

together, making a compound unity.What about witness #2, echad?What do we know about echad?It is a marker for a compound unity.Could be “one” or “first”, like Genesis 2:11


Genesis 1:5b dx'a, ~Ay rq,bo - yhiy>w: br,[ ,- yhiy>w::

one day morning ??? Evening ???It is a marker for a compound unity.What’s being combined that we know was

previously separated? Light and Darkness, represented here by

their called names, evening and morning.Joined together, they make a “yom”.


One More PointThe Sentence in Biblical Hebrew by

F.I. Anderson, p.129, states for verse 5 that the structure denotes a unity from multiple parts.

This is in existence without regard to Echad.


Might We Have a Third Witness?

KJV Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground…

FOS -> A part for the whole – face for the whole man



KJV 2 Kings 2:3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Yahweh will take away thy master from thy head to day?

FOS -> A part for the whole – head for the whole man



KJV Proverbs 10:6 Blessings are upon the head of the just…




KJV Isaiah 35:10 And the ransomed of Yahweh shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads…




Exodus 13:10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance at the appointed time from days days (year to year).

FOS -> A part for the whole – plural days for year to year



KJV Judges 11:40 That the daughters of Israel went days (yearly) to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite…

FOS -> A part for the whole – plural days for a whole year



KJV 1 Samuel 1:3 And this man went up out of his city days (yearly) to worship and to sacrifice unto Yahweh of hosts in Shiloh…

FOS -> A part for the whole – plural days for a whole year



KJV Daniel 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, “How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?”

What is the Question?



KJV Daniel 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, “How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?”



Daniel 8:14 And he said unto me, “Until br,[, rq,B 2,300; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.”

FOS -> A part for the whole – Two parts of a 24 hour time period put for a 24 hour time period answering the question of “How long”



What figure of speech are we talking about?

SynecdocheFrom this Greek word συνεκδοχή

meaning “simultaneous understanding”Part of something is used to refer to the

whole thingIn Daniel, the part is two parts of a 24

hour time period



What about Genesis 1:5?Since we know that br,[, rq,B can

be a Synecdoche, that is, a part for the whole, could this be another occurrence of that figure of speech?





Summary dx'a, ~Ay rq,bo - yhiy>w: br,[ ,- yhiy>w::

one day morning ??? Evening ???Light was separated from darkness

Were they re-joined to form a ~Ay?Two witnesses are provided with

possibly a third (Synecdoche)


Witnesses are Provided dx'a, ~Ay rq,bo - yhiy>w: br,[ ,- yhiy>w::


1. A conjunction yhiy preforming its assigned duty of combining two things

2. The presence of the compound unity

marker dx'a,, present when that which is more than one is represented quantitatively as one.


Witnesses are Provided dx'a, ~Ay rq,bo - yhiy>w: br,[ ,- yhiy>w::

one day morning ??? Evening ???3. A Synecdoche (a part for the whole)4. dx'a, … translated as “first” since there

is definitely a sequence forming a week. See Genesis 2:11

5. What is lacking? An explicit statement of re-joining…

14th night and now we have the 14th day.However, if we go back to “it was still

night”, then night was called “this day”.

NehemiahNehemiahNehemiah 13:19 And it came to pass,

that when the evening shadows began to lengthen at the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day.


NehemiahNehemiahFrom earlier in Nehemiah, we know

that the gate is shut when it is dark. 7:3

There are no shadows after sunset yet in this case, there were shadows so sunset had not occurred yet.

Why the emphasis to close the gates several minutes early if the Sabbath was not beginning until sunrise?

5. Leviticus 23:6 seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

6. Numbers 28:17 seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

7. Deuteronomy 16:3 seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread…

It appears that this is teaching that I can eat leavened bread each night. True?



Exodus 12:19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses.

Deuteronomy 16:4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy borders seven days.

From these restrictions it teaches that as long as leaven is not found in my house or the borders of Israel during daylight hours, I’m good.



BUT…Exodus 12:15 …for whosoever eateth

leavened bread from the first day d[ the seventh day…

Exodus 12:18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, d[ the one and twentieth day of the month at even.

There are many more but this evidence presents a case

The evidence exists that ~Ay is sometimes a 12 hour time period, sometimes a 24 hour time period, and sometimes an amount of time that is not defined.
