Science Rendition

This illumination/source of consciousness arises in the form of a dynamic polarity of luminous centers: the greater (Sun) as symbol of the manifestation of consciousness (‘Day’), and the lesser (Moon) as symbol of its negation (Night), as well as in the form of the higher fecundating power of the cosmos (Stars).

KJV: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Key Words: ALHYM SHNY AWR YWM LYLH KWKB

SH-N-Y – ‘couple’

It must be observed that Moses does not employ here שנים two, as the Greek and Latin translators have rendered it, which would separate the two luminaries…but that he employs the word שני, inflected by the designative preposition את, that same twain, that couple, that germination: thus uniting them under one single idea. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 46)

K-W-K-B – ‘virtual and fecundating force of the universe’

The word כוכב, vulgarly translated star, is composed of the root כוה, which is related to every idea of strength and of virtue, physically as well as morally, and of the mysterious root איב which develops the idea of the fecundation of the universe. Thus according to the figurative and hieroglyphic sense, the word signifies not only star, but the virtual and fecundating force of the universe. Therein can be found the germ of many ancient ideas…(The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 47-48)
