Genesis 1:9
And he is saying, elohim, the Dual-Waters from underneath the Dual-Heavens are being bound-together21 toward a standing-place of one, and the Dry-one22 she is being seen, and he is becoming an upright.
| 21 | Strong’s #6060, qavah. To twist together, collect together. Most contexts make it seem to mean to wait for. This is the reflexive Niph’al verb stem form—the dual-waters is being bound or twisted together like a rope, tiqvah, which is also the word for hope (#8615) and related to qaveh line (#6961). Gathered is not a sufficent translation. Something to think about considering the prophetic nature of Dual-Waters and the fact that the dual-waters “bind together” at a head, where they begin. The word occurs only here and in Gen 49:18 in the Torah. “And a pool [miqvah] you have made between the Two Walls for dual-waters…” (Isa. 22:11 RBT) “Therefore know her, Wisdom, to your breath, if you have found him, and there is an end and your rope [tiqvah] is not being cut off.” (Prov. 24:14 RBT) |
