Deciphering
Genesis
4:25-26
The Hebrew story of
Adam, Eve and their sons was it just a simple story of a first family?
"Genesis
4:25 And Adam [mankind] knew his wife life] again; and she bare a son, and called his name
Seth appointed]:
For Elohim[the many], said she [life], hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel
[vanity/vapor], whom Cain [I have gotten a man from the Lord]
slew."
"Genesis
4:26 And to Seth [appointed], to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos
[mankind in the rough]:
then began men to call upon the name of
the LORD."
Was
this Astrological?
Who was Seth and Enosh and
what did their names mean? Let's start with Enosh. The name Enosh
is one of a few words to indicate man or mankind and it is rooted in
('nsh
136) is the root of
(enosh
136a) meaning man or mankind in its frailty and weakness.
('nsh
137) is the assumed root of
('ishsha
137a), wife, woman, female. [Jones
reads Man Frail and Miserable. NOBSE reads Mortal.]
In the laws of Maat there
are three different types of Man[kind] according to Maat the 11 Laws of God, Pg.
15, written by Ra Un Nefer Amen
-
Human - man in the rough
-
Man -Man proper
-
God -Man/Woman
The defining principle is
the will.
The human [Enosh] is so
labeled to denote that it is an earthly being -hummus earth[ the Hebrew Adamah]
man or hu-man. this label denotes the kind of man [mankind] whose will is so
undeveloped [it is asleep] that the earthly part of the being -emotions and
sensuality [the unconscious] -determines his/her behavior and destiny. In
addition, the will is asleep, t mental process is dominated by the acceptance of
associative thought drift activity. Passivity is the hallmark.
The second category is Man
proper. the will is reached full maturity [awakened] and the entities chief
identifying mark the struggle to impose will on the emotion and
sensuality; to achieve mastery over the emotion unconscious]. Dominated by
Reason and Knowledge.
The third category
corresponds to the Man that has consummated the union of the will and the
unconscious; has recovered the original state of unity and peace -Hetep
[Nirvana]. Here there is no struggle because spiritual power has been added to
the faculties of external action and wisdom [intuition has bee added to reason.
God-man.
"...Kamitic cosmology i have
designated them as Sahu-man, Ab-man and Ba-man according to the spirit they
attain to."
"Genesis
4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos:
then began men to call upon the name of
the LORD."
Some
translations say: "...then began to call themselves by the name of the Lord."
Could this have been the
God-man phase of the Creation story? It is said in the Bible that Jesus
was the last Adam [some versions say second Adam]. Could Enosh them have been
simply a man?
"What is man [Enosh], that
thou art mindful of him? and the son of man [Adam], that thou visit him? Psalms
8:4
LORD, what [is] man [Adam],
that thou takest knowledge of him! [or] the son of man [Enosh], that thou makest
account of him! Psalms 144:3.
In the Hebrew definition of
the variant types of man:
-
Adam - mankind or man
irrespective of sex [Ben Adam mortal man]
-
Ish -the sex or phallus of a
male virility or strength.
-
Enosh - man or kind the
common people the root is mortal or the malignancy of morality.
-
Gebber - Strong and mighty,
to show oneself as a war-like man or husband.
E’nosh
was the son, brought forth by Seth, who was brought forth by Eve or Chavvah, the
‘mother of all living’ as a replacement for the slain Abel or Hevel. [Hebel] Abel of Ay-bel
means breath or vapor. It can also mean vanity or something transitory and
unsatisfactory. Cain the slayer of Abel or the breath or vapor means: The boy's
name Cain/Cain is pronounced Kayin. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is
"something produced; spear". The spear is usually a phallic reference a weapon
of authority in battle and genetics. See Baruch - to praise also a spear.
The Hebrews understood that 'praise' or Baruch [Baruch Atah Adonai Elyohenu
Melek Ha Olam] was the first go up in battle, so Judah went first.
The tribe of Judah were probably the spearmen as well as singers.
Seth
or Shet (Hebrew: שֵׁת,
Standard Šet, Tiberian Šēṯ;
Arabic: شيث
Shith or Shiyth; "Placed; appointed"), in the Book of Genesis of the
Hebrew Bible, is the third listed son of Adam and Eve and brother of Cain and
Abel and is the only other son mentioned by name.
According
to Genesis 4:25, Seth was born after the slaying of Abel by Cain, and Eve
believed God had appointed him as "replacement" for Abel "because
Cain killed him"...According to the Book of Jubilees, Seth married his
younger sister Azura, was 105 when his son Enos was born, and died at the
age of 912.
Due
to developments in the Egyptian language over the 3,000 years that Set was
worshipped, by the Greek period, the t in Set was pronounced so
indistinguishably from ‘th’ that the Greeks spelt it as Seth.
Remember,
we do have a Greek Old Testament the Septuagint.
This
is interesting because the name Azura the sister/wife of Set means ‘blue’ as
in ‘blue sky’ or heavens.
Azur:
Female Persian name meaning
"blue"
Azura:
Female Persian name meaning "blue"
The
sky is called Nut in
Egypt
:
“The
sky goddess whose arched body formed the vault of heaven gave birth to
the sun each dawn and swallowed him each dusk; conversely, she bore the myriad
stars each evening and gobbled them up each dawn.
Nut/Azura
Azar
can also mean ‘fire’. Have we seen this word Azar before? Remember the Vault
of Heaven would you?
Here
are the Strong’s Concordance choices.
247
'azar aw-zar' a primitive root; to belt:--bind (compass) about, gird (up, with).
5826
`azar aw-zar' a primitive root; to surround, i.e. protect or aid:--help, succour.
We
need help in deciphering her name and function let us give it a biblical context
first:
Genesis
2:18 And Elohim said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make
him a help meet for him.
Genesis
2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every
beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him
The
help was the word Azar and the meet was also the word Azar. This word is
intensified when it is doubled although they leave that out in the Concordance
renderings. When speaking about Chavvah the ‘mother of all living’ as she is
called by Adam her husband. She is
referred to as Azar-Azar.
In
the extra-biblical literature Enosh mother is Azura, his sister who
coincidentally is named after her mother’s role as Azar-Azar, helpmeet and
binder, defender and protector in the Garden.
Azura
means blue sky …but also relates to the mother of all living and her role in
the garden for the man. Azura was [said to be] the daughter of Eve and wife of Enosh and that
same name can also mean Fire.
But,
what are the Hebrew words for
Blue sky? Here
the Hebrew word is suppose to be t@keleth {tek-ay'-leth} because of the blue dye
found in a snail in the
Indian Ocean
, but that seems a bit circuitous. That word references a Cerulean purple color
and not blue, but the prime root word is sh@cheleth {shekh-ay'-leth} which
relates to incense from
India
called onycha.
Then
we get to the root word: shachal {shakh'-al} which is defined as a black lion
[Syrian]. We never get to the color blue that was the color of the sky first
heaven, but we get a black
purple reference for the sky which can only be the night or the distant vault
of the heavens.
That was also represented by Nut in Egypt.
"The
word for Sky or Heavens in Hebrew is: Shamayim
{shaw-mah'-yim} dual of an unused singular Shameh {shaw-meh'} which means
firmament or vault over the globe of earth. "
The Egyptian iconic image is this, a dark blue-black woman
with a body of stars or Kohab
Black
Lion:
In some cosmologies Leo, the lion is associated with the classical element Fire, and thus called a Fire
Sign. Azura is also the name for Fire.
There
it is the ‘Vault of Heaven’ the same symbolism as 'Nut' in Egypt.
Here is further extra-biblical proof Seth’s wife and her name Azura is an astrological
reference that can be traced to Egypt.
Habar {haw-bar'} which they call: a primitive root of
uncertain derivation, is related to the Heavens and those who plot them called astrologers
or those who divide the heavens into quadrants.
So,
the Hebrew reference for the word Azura rendered ‘Blue Sky’ is actually the
same as the Black Vault in the Heavens that is the realm of the astrologers. Her name is an
astrological reference. How does
Azura the night sky relate to Set?
Set
is the god or neteru of the night and Azura is the night sky. What is the
Astrological or Astro-theological reference?
Yet,
Set was thought to be a follower [as night follows day] of Ra [Day/Sun]. It was
he who defended the Solar Barque each night as it traveled through the
underworld, the only Egyptian deity who could kill the serpent Apep - Ra's most
dangerous enemy - each night as it threatened to swallow the Barque [Ark].
Then
Set, the strong one, the son of Nut, said "As for me, I am Set, the
strongest of the Divine Company. Every day I slay the enemy of Ra when I stand
at the helm of the Barque of Millions of Years, which no other god dare
do."
M’azzar’oth
meaning "From the night skies" [with a feminine plural ending OT]. ‘M’
is the prefix from in Hebrew and ‘son’ in Egyptian and west African
languages..
So, that would leave the word 'azzar/azar' the OT is
a feminine ending and the M means son. Azar meaning the helper and the vault in
heaven.
The
meaning of the word Mazzaroth has been in contention for some hundreds of
years as the scarce but, adequate literature confirms. Traditional sources
generally interpret the word as meaning constellation, though usually
understood in the plural, constellations; where others agree it specifically
refers to the zodiac and possibly the planet ‘Venus’
Leo:
It is the domicile of the Sun. The Egyptian pharaoh Nechepso, and his priest
Petosiris, taught that at the creation of the world the Sun rose here near
Denebola, and hence Leo was Domicilium Solis, the emblem of fire and heat, and
the "House of the Sun".
House
of the Sun is
Heliopolis
and also relates to
Zion in
Israel
.
However,
for those with an enquiring desire for the esoteric elements of the mystery of
the M’azzar’oth, much will be revealed and certain elements of truth
will not be lost, but remain for all generations : even as the author of the
Book of Job intended, for the things which are revealed are ours and our
children's forever [Deuteronomy 29:29].
According
to the ancient Hebrews, the names of the constellations, figures and the signs
of the ancient zodiac were given by Yahweh (the unutterable name of God) from
the beginning of creation; however as it has been known to happen, certain
etymological meanings and roots have eroded throughout time, with the ancient
Hebrew language undergoing numerous changes and modifications in its history.
Again:
M’Azzar’oth
contains the word Azzar or Azar meaning helper or comforter and the "Feminine One"
who is the covering and alludes to the vault of heaven as we have shown or the
Egyptian iconographic image of Nut
the vault over the sky.
Nut
[Sky] and Geb [Earth] with his penis pointed at her navel.
M’
azzar’ oth means: From the
‘helping one/feminine’ in the Heavens. Set was a God of the night sky,
storms and earthquakes.
He
was strongly worshipped in
Upper Egypt
and the Delta. His birthday was celebrated at the end of the year. [see Dec 25th].
Description:
“In early times Set was worshipped as the god of wind and the desert storms,
and prayed to that he would grant the strength of the storms to his followers.
Although he was always a dark and moody god, he was believed to be the ally of
his brother and sister, Osiris and Isis, the counterpart to his sister-wife
Nephthys, and the defender of their father, Ra.
Seth
was called the seed of his mother. The variant spelling of the name is Sheth,
Shethar {shay-thawr'} which is Persian for the word
‘star’ found in the book of Esther 1:14, which is the 7 princes of
the Medo-Persian empires which references the belt of Orion or 7 stars in his
belt.
Orion
over
Giza
[next]
Shethar
Bowzanay {sheth-ar' bo-zen-ah'-ee} is called the star of Splendor a prince of
Persia
. Ezra 5:3, 6:6
So
we can say that Seth or Sheth is another word for Star in another language other
than Hebrew, although it is used in the bible but said it is of unknown
derivation by the Concordance people.
Now
the Hebrew word for Star is kowkab {ko-kawb'}
from the root: To burn and to hollow, to trace or excavate, like a window or
aperture or hole to bore through.
Although
the meaning may escape the Concordance people it is obvious to me, the stars in
the night sky look as though they are holes in a cloth or blanket in which light
shines through. This is also to the word for stargazer or seer. Even the
American Algonquin Indians understood the simplicity of it all.
7
stars of Orion
"Long
ago, the Indians believed the departed left this world and their spirits went to
the happy hunting grounds in the sky. At night, the Great Spirit would draw a
blanket over the sky to make it dark. The Indians believed the points of light
seen in the blanket were holes made by the spirits as they passed through the
blanket on their way to the happy hunting grounds. Some of the holes were
large, making bright points of light, while others were so small they were
hardly visible. The Indians thought that the size of the hole had nothing to do
with how powerful a chief the person had been, or how large his land was, or how
many enemies he had killed in battle, but instead was larger for the number of
good deeds and acts of kindness the departed had done throughout his life."
Let’s
put a conclusion on this short essay by looking at the scriptures in Genesis
4:25-26 in a new light:
And
Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For
Elohim [plural/nerteru], said she, hath appointed me another seed instead
of Abel, whom Cain slew.
And
to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos [synonym
for Adam or man]: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord or call
themselves by the name of the Lord.
To summarize our initial scripture and put t is context of the Egyptian Creation story of the heavens and stars reinterpreted
into man and mankind by the Hebrews.
"Genesis
4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth [appointed]:
For Elohim [the many], said she [life], hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew."
"Genesis
4:26 And to Seth [appointed], to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos:
then began men to call upon the name of
the LORD."
Here is the
summary to Genesis 4
25"And
mankind/male and female knew and understood and was initiated by this; and she
bare a class of guild of men/women and call them by the name of the [son] of the
night sky. For the attributes of the One God and she [life] hath appointed me
another seed [That from which anything springs; first principle; original;
source] instead of the vapor/spirit, whom the man of the Lord slew.
26 "[Seth]
the son of the night sky, the seed of the mother of all living [Eve], who was
married to his sister/wife [Azura] the ‘vault of heaven’ that held the
stars out on a blanket, the protector, gave birth to son or class/guild/order
of men/stargazers [Enosh].
Then
they [the sons of Enoshian class] men began to call on the attributes of name LORD/God/Elohim."
