Genesis 1:16
וַ יַּעַשׂ אֶלֹהִים אֶת שְׁנֵי הַ מְּאֹרֹת הַ גְּדֹלִים אֶת הַ מָּאֹור הַ גָּדֹל לְ מֶמְשֶׁלֶת הַ יֹּום וְ אֶת הַ מָּאֹור הַ קָּטֹן לְ מֶמְשֶׁלֶת הַ לַּיְלָה וְ אֵת הַ כֹּוכָבִים
And he is making elohim אֶת-second the Great Curses,31 אֶת-the Great Light-place for a ruling-place of the Hot-one, and אֶת-the Small Light-Place32 for a ruling-place33 of the Night-hers, and the Circular-ones.34
| 31 | Hebrew את שני המארת הגדלים. eternal self second the Great Curses. As noted in the previous verse, המארת "ha'me'arot" is the word for "curse" with a definite article here. שני can be either two or second. Here it refers to the second one as in the previous "second day." The context is that of a division between two, and now the second are becoming Great Curses. Do we add a vowel point for a letter that is not there? And make it read "me'orot"? Or read it as is? |
