Genesis 2:9

Science Rendition

And the eternal creative essence of the progressively expanding power complex causes every vegetative (generative) source that is resonant and fruitful for nourishment to emanate: including the generative source of life in the centre of the organic expansive, receptive enclosure, and also the generative source of the knowledge of what is resonant and fruitful and that which is degraded (and non-resonant).

KJV: And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Key Words: ADMH YHWH ALHYM ETZ CHY GN TWB RE


E-TZ – ‘living substance’

The root עו or עי develps every idea of growth, excresence, tumour; anything which accumulates. This sign צ which terminates it, marks the aim, the end to which all things tend. Seeing only a tree, in the word עצ , as the Hellenists or as Saint Jerome who has copied them, testifies to a geat desire to suppress the truth or to show great ignorance…The Chaldaic reads אילן, which amounts to nearly the same. It is an extensive force, an invading power; in short, matter in travail

The mistake that the translators committed here appears to me voluntary and calculated…After having seen a garden in an intelligible enclosure that we would today name an organic sphere of activity, it was quite natural that [they] should see sensual desire in what was sentient and temporal; morning, in what was anteriority of time; a tree, in what was matter in travail, etc., etc. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet,, p. 77).

Determined matter offered to the senses, according to any mode of existence whatsoever. Hieroglyphically, substance in general; in the literal or figurative sense, vegetable substance, and the physical faculty of vegetation: in a very restricted sense, wood, a tree: that which is consolidated and hardened, which appears under a constant and determined form. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 42)

R-E – ‘degrade towards materiality’

7489 raw-ah´; a primitive root; properly, to spoil (literally, by breaking to pieces); figuratively, to make (or be) good for nothing, i.e. bad (physically, socially or morally):

7451. rah; from 7489; bad or (as noun) evil (natural or moral):

The term translated as ‘wickedness’ is perhaps one of the most difficult to come to understand.

First, it contains the elementary root אר which contains the symbol for power and for movement. This root can be used to signify any element, light, fire, water and earth depending on the additional symbol joined to it.

This elementary root is contained in the term translated ‘formed’ in Genesis 2:6 – ‘and the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground’ – WYYTZR, וייצר. This verb, YTZR, has the idea of “figuring, forming, coordinating, fixing and binding the constitutive elements of a thing.” In its simple form ZR, it has the sense of elementary figuration, that is, creation in the mind out of elementary existence. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 74)

We have seen the movement principle, acting from the centre to the circumference, modified in turn, but light, fire, water, air, ethereal fluid, according to the roots רא, רה, רו, רח, רי : now, here is this same movement departing from the root רו and degenerating more and more toward the material sense, to become in the root רע, the emblem of that which is terrestrial, obscure and evil. This is worthy of the closest attention. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 452-453)
