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)
