Science Rendition
All creative labor of a fecund nature, and all its proliferative generative power is still held in check (enfolded) by the compressive power: for the eternal creative essence of the progressively expanding power complex has not yet caused the self-generating power of life to reside in the compressive power, and the particular unit of dynamic power capable of evolution of mind and consciousness does not yet exist in substance so as to work creatively upon its dynamic elements.
KJV: And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Key Words: SHYCH SHDH ARTZ ESHB YHWH ALYHYM ADM ADMH
SH-Y-CH – ‘creative travail, work’
By this word should be understood all creative travail [labor]. It springs from the root שה, which expresses the effort of the soul toward any goal whatsoever. The facultative שוה, which comes from it, signifies to be-producing or uttering one’s thoughts, [Logos] whether by travail, or by speech. The Hellenists, and Saint Jerome, who has followed them, have seen in this word only a tender herb, a shrub…(The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 70)
SH-D-H – ‘generative, nurturing Nature (natura naturans)’
Following this same idea, these translators have seen in the word שדה, applied to generative and fostering Nature [natura naturans], only a field, thus taking the Hebraic word in its most material and most restricted meaning. But how, in this energetic expression composed of the contracted roots שו –וי, of which the first contains the idea of equality and distributive equity, and the second that of abundance; how, I say, can they not recognize Nature? (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 70)
A-D-M-H – ‘elemental earth principle, ground of creative being’
This word which is formed from that of Adam, and partakes of all its significations…has undergone continuous restrictions, until it signifies only the earth, properly speaking…The name of Adam…lends the mind easily to Adamah, its elementary principle, homogenous earth, and like unto Adam; primitive earth, very far from that which is obvious to our senses, and as different from the earth, properly so-called, as intelligible, universal man אדם, is different from particular and corporeal man, אנוש. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 72)
