Genesis 3:18

Science Rendition

And torn, partial, separated, imperfect and disordered productions (conceptions) shall the creative mentative power bring forth; and it shall feed upon arid reflections and representations of elementary nature rather than the fullness of reality.

KJV: Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

Key Words: KTZ DRDR ESHB


K-T-Z – ‘tear, cut off, separate’

The root קוץ expresses the action of cutting, cutting off, tearing. It is impossible not to feel the effect of the compressive and cutting sign ק united to the terminative sign ץ. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, p. 114)

D-R-D-R – ‘disorder, rupture, liberation’

The root דר furnishes the idea of circuit, of order, period, age and circular habitation; but in doubling the last character, which is that of movement proper, one opens, as it were, the circle, and obtains the intensive root דרר, which signifies license, a rupture of order, an invasion. It is this last word that is derived from the one which makes the subject of this note, and by which one expresses in general, all unruly productions, whether literal or figurative. The Hebraic genius derives liberty, in the good sense, from the word דרר, which is license or evil liberty, by simply inserting the intellectual sign ו, as is seen in the word דרור. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 114-115)
