The Kiymah & Keysil mystery

Amos 5:8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion and who turns the shadow of death into morning, who also darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahuah is His name.

The Kiymah/H3598 𐤊𐤉𐤌𐤄 translated as Pleiades or seven stars is mentioned 3 times in the OT i.e. Job 9:9, 38:31 & Amos 5:8

The  kesiyl/H3685 𐤊𐤎𐤉𐤋 translated as Orion or constellation is used 4 times in scripture. 3 times along with the Pleiades/seven stars and one additional place in YashaYahu 13:10

Isa 13:10  For the stars of the heavens and their constellations/kesiyl/H3685 𐤊𐤎𐤉𐤋 do not give off their light. The sun shall be dark at its rising, and the moon not send out its light. 

Kiymah H3598 𐤊𐤉𐤌𐤄: The Kiymah shine as hot blue stars and is a constellation of 7 stars. Please look at the image below

Now let's examine the usage of this in scriptures:

First we see Ayob/Job acknowledges Yahuah as the creator of these constellations

Job 9:9  who made Ash, Kesyil, and Kiymah, and the rooms of the south; 

While Ash a bear like constellation is mentioned by Ayob in 9:9, we will only look at Kesiyl and Kiymah in this study. And to understand this better we must look at what Yahuah asks Ayob

Job 38:31 Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, or loose the cords of Orion?

While Ayob cannot bind the chains of the Pleiades/seven stars constellation, or loose the cords of Orion, Yahuah by this question lets Ayob and us know that ONLY HE CAN.

I will come straight to the context but before that lets look at Kesiyl

Kesiyl H3685 𐤊𐤎𐤉𐤋 translated as Orion or constellation:

Kesyil the same word defined by Strong's H3684 means 'foolish/stupid/silly'

When Yahuah asks Ayob whether he could loose the cords of Orion/Kesiyl, the picture is of a foolish man bound to his seat of beliefs of foolishness, whom only Yahuah can loose. 

The 7 star cluster named as the Kiymah/Pleiades speaks of the wisdom of Yahuah who alone can gather the blue stars to form a Bright and Morning star and the constellations named as Kesiyl/Orion speaks of Yahuah who alone can separate one from the seat of his foolishness, just as He has the power to separate the stars from a constellation.

Coming to Amos 5:8 the KJV uses 'Seek him' in Italics tying the verse to verse 6. Moreover, Amos prophesies that Yahuah alone is One who turns the shadow of death into morning & darkens day into night. The contrast changes, He alone has the power to do so.

Amos 5:6 Seek/darshu 𐤃𐤓𐤔𐤅 Yahuah that you may live, else He shall break forth like a fire, O house of Yoseph, and it shall consume with none to quench it for Beyth’El, 
Amos 5:7 For those who turn justice into wormwood and cast righteousness down to the earth. 
Amos 5:8 Seek him He who made the Pleiades and Orion and who turns the shadow of death/tsalmaweth 𐤑𐤋𐤌𐤅𐤕 H6757 into morning, who also darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahuah is His name. 

Psa 23:4  When I walk through the valley of the shadow of death/tsalmaweth 𐤑𐤋𐤌𐤅𐤕 H6757, I fear no evil. For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 

In pagan Greek mythology the seven stars/Pleiades are called seven sisters. We don't want to get into the pagan mythology with the names of the daughters of the Greek god which science adopts the names, we will look at proof from scriptures itself.

Rev 1:16  And in His/Yahusha's right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword,b and His face was as the sun shining in its strength.

Rev 1:20  “The secret of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lampstands which you saw are seven assemblies. 

Rev 2:1  “To the messenger of the assembly of Ephesos write, ‘He who is holding the seven stars in His right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands, says this: 

Rev 3:1  “And to the messenger of the assembly in Sardis write, ‘He who has the seven Spirits of Elohim and the seven stars, says this, “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 

4 times in the book of Revelation we see the seven stars are termed as to be held in the hands of Yahusha's right hand & Yahusha says in Rev 1:20 "The secret of the seven stars which you saw in My Right Hand''

While shallow readers would only tie up these 7 stars to the seven messengers/angels of the seven assemblies, the Ruach shows His children that the 'kiymah/seven stars (Pleiades)' mentioned 3 times in the OT i.e. Job 9:9, 38:31 & Amos 5:8 is tied up to Yahuah and hence, we see Yahuah=Yahusha.

Star of Bethlehem:

While there are various scientific theories that Venus and Saturn were brought together to form the star of bethelem, a dying star was born in the sky during Mashiyach's birth which later died out etc etc, all these are beyond the scriptures imagination of a foolish and carnal mind.

We must revisit Job 38:31. We saw Yahuah questioning Ayob whether he could bind the chains of the seven stars/Pleiades? While Ayob can't, Yahuah alone can. And that's exactly was a sign given in the heavens which the Magi/Wise men understood.

Job 38:31 Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, or loose the cords of Orion?

Remember, the image shared above of the 7 stars are the hot blue stars which form the sapphire color. The color for the Torah pavement.

Light: Aur/אור has the root word AR/אר which means order. The light fell in order just as the word dabar/דבר which is translated as Word and is also order of things.

In the word dabar we see the Dalet/ד as the doorway and bar/בר means son.
The light/אור fell in order /דבר (dabar) of things to give us the PATH.

Psa 119:105 Nun Your word/dabar דבר is a lamp to my feet And a light/ אור to my path.
The Dabar is also the substance identified by Yahuchanan in John 1:1 and 1John 1:1.

Even when it says “ You are a kohen forever according to my order/Dabaratay דברתי of Malchitsedek.

The order of priesthood which came forth to light was after Yahuah Himself who appeared in Exodus 24:10 as the estsem/עצם (bone) of heaven in its clearness . This appearance was unique as Mosheh, Aharon, his two sons and 70 elders saw and ate and drank before Him and yet they were not killed. Under His feet was a paved work of sapphire which is the blue stone and a blue print of the path He Himself walked on as He is the attendant of the heavenly of which a pattern was given in earthly form as a reflection or substance of the actual.

Exo 24:10  and they saw the Elohim of Yisra’ěl, and under His feet like a paved work of sapphire stone, and like the heavens for brightness. 

Hence, the Torah of Life path is the blue print we need to walk in which is the order of things which fell beginning from Him.

YashaYahu saw Him high and lifted up and the trail of His robe filled the temple which shows us He is Yahusha the High Priest who put the earthly things in the order of the spiritual or heavenly things which He Himself held in His etsem/עצם (bone pattern) in its clearness. While all Christians and carnal Torah keepers confess Psalms 119:105 but many fail to see the order or light brought about by the Son in the paved work which is the blue print which we need to walk on.

Sapphire the blue stone was number 5 stone in the kohen ha gadul’s breastplate where number 5 points to Torah. 

Eze 1:26  And above the expanse over their/cherubim heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone. And on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man high above it. 

Eze 1:27  And from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw what looked like glowing metal with the appearance of fire all around within it. And from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw what looked like fire, and brightness all around. 

Eze 1:28  As the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the esteem of יהוה. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

YashaYahu 6 is defined by Yahuchanan as he states  in Joh 12:41 

Yeshayahu said this when he saw His (Yahusha) esteem and spoke of Him.

Shaul defined this Light as shining in our hearts and gave a context to Gen 1:3 in 2Corn 4:6

2Co 4:6 For Elohim, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts for the enlightening of the knowledge of the esteem of Elohim in the face of יהושע Messiah.

The same Yahuah who came into a visible form, came with a purpose to be face to face with His creation. If the creation doesn’t understand this mystery then they fall short of the esteem of Yahuah and look only towards temporary luminaires as the sun and moon for their calendars for feast observation. The ones fallen in order of things attain the goal of the Torah which is the blue print of Yahuah.

Gen 1:14  And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs/auth H226 and appointed times/moead H4150, and for days/yom H3117 and years/shanah H8141, 

Gen 1:15  and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it came to be so. 

Gen 1:16  And Elohim made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.

While the calendars had the sun and the moon path following in observing the feasts, what were stars meant for to be as signs/auth if they were not having a spiritual significance? 

The symbolism of the Pleiades/seven stars in the right hand of Yahusha ha Mashiyach is a proof of the 7 assemblies as ONE in Him. Hence, the phenomenon of Aluahym bringing the cluster of the 7 blue stars together can be understood from Ayob 38:31 where He questions Ayob whether he is able to bind the seven stars together. Moreover, the seven assemblies have the element of feminine in them as the assembly is the bride of the bridegroom Yahusha ha Mashiyach.

The mystery is deep and there is so much to it even in names.

Deborah was a nurse to Rebecca and the name Deborah is the feminine form of Dabar and means “her order” The word nurse is ינק (yanaq) which also means one who gives suckling as a mother. While the scriptures are silent, the sons of Rebecca (Esau and Yaaqob) would have been brought up under her care, and that’s why lamentation was made when Deborah died.

Gen 35:8 And Deḇorah, Riḇqah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Běyth Ěl under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called Allon Baḵuth.

Allon Bakuth means oak of weeping. The sons born fell in a she order who would nurse them as a mother herself would.

1Pe 3:3 Your adornment should not be outward – arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on dresses –
1Pe 3:4 but the hidden man of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and peaceable spirit, which is of great value before Elohim.

The hidden man of the heart is Mashiyach Yahusha. The order that the character of Deborah which means ‘her order’ shows. The woman falls into the order of her husband in her heart to walk the sapphire path.

Then there was Deborah the prophetess whom we see being raised up when the villages ceased having the elders.

Jdg 5:7 “ Villages /perazun פרזון ceased, it ceased in Yisra’ěl, until I, Deḇorah, arose – a mother in Yisra’ěl arose.

Villages have the root word paraz/פרז which means Leader. Hence many translations replace villages with Leaders ceased. Remember it was the time of judges and the open lands were given to the Levites along with cities. The open lands were outside the cities.

Num 35:2 "Command the children of Yisra’ěl that they shall give the Lěwites cities to dwell in from the inheritance of their possession. Also give the Lěwites open land around the cities.
Num 35:3 “And they shall have the cities to dwell in, and their open land for their cattle, and for their herds, and for all their livestock.
Num 35:4 “And the open land of the cities which you give the Lěwites are from the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits all around.

Deborah was living at a time when the kohen ceased or became apostate and there was no order, hence, Yahuah raised her as a mother/am. Twice in Judges 5:7 the word qam /קם is used which means arose.

This is how the verse reads

Jdg 5:7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Yasharal, until that I Deborah was drawn out /shal של and arose/קם, that I arose/קם a mother/אם in Yasharal.

She was drawn out and arose, arose as the mother in Yasharal. Whenever anything in scripture is mentioned twice in repetition, it’s of utmost importance.
Eg: Verily Verily, He who has ears let him hear, alas alas, Babylon is fallen is fallen etc
The repetition has a piercing from a physical into the spiritual.

Jdg 4:4 And Deborah, a wife /Ishah אשה prophetess, the wife /ishah אשה of Lapidoth, she judged Yasharal at that time.

Again here twice she is mentioned as wife of Lapidoth. Why? Lapidoth means torches.
Ashah/ishah translated as wife has the fire /ash אש. She carried the flame of the husband Yahuah into the path to lead Yasharal to victory over their enemies.

Her name Deborah which has the Dabar male reflected through her as the way maker or path finder when all male Levites fell into apostasy. This reminds me of Revelation 12 where Yahuchanan saw the woman Yerushalayim clothed with the sun, moon under her feet and the crown of 12 stars on her head. Shaul calls the Yerushalayim from above the mother /am אם of us all. 

Isa 62:1  For Tsiyon’s sake I am not silent, and for Yerushalayim’s sake I do not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her deliverance as a lamp that burns. 

Isa 62:2  And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all sovereigns your esteem. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of יהוה designates. 

Isa 62:3  And you shall be a crown of comeliness in the hand of יהוה, and a royal/malukah 𐤌𐤋𐤅𐤊𐤄 H4410  head-dress/tsanuph H6797 in the hand of your Elohim. 

Isa 62:4  No longer are you called “Forsaken,” and no longer is your land called “Deserted.” But you shall be called “Ḥephtsiḇah,” and your land “Married,” for יהוה shall delight in you, and your land be married. 

The word malukah 𐤌𐤋𐤅𐤊𐤄  translated as royal is the root word in the word malakay 

Rev 1:20  “The secret of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are messengers/malakay of the seven assemblies, and the seven lampstands which you saw are seven assemblies. 

The 7 messengers represented by 7 stars in the right hand of Yahusha are part of the royal kingdom in whom He delights. The blue, purple, scarlet in the robe, head dress, curtains, tent etc were all royal colors showing the bride of Mashiyach worshiping Him are part of the royal kingdom and His royal law.

Exo 28:31  “And you shall make the robe of the shoulder garment all of blue. 

Exo 28:32  “And the opening for his head shall be in the middle of it, a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a scaled armour, so that it does not tear. 

Exo 28:33  “And on its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: 

Exo 28:34  a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe all around. 

Exo 28:35  “And it shall be upon Aharon to attend in, and its sound shall be heard when he goes into the set-apart place before יהוה and when he comes out, so that he does not die. 

Exo 28:36  “And you shall make a plate of clean gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet: SET-APARTNESS TO יהוה. 

Exo 28:37  “And you shall put it on a blue cord, and it shall be on the turban – it is to be on the front of the turban. 

Exo 28:38  “And it shall be on the forehead of Aharon, and Aharon shall bear the guilt of the set-apart gifts which the children of Yisra’ěl set apart in all their set-apart gifts. And it shall always be on his forehead, for acceptance for them before יהוה

While the color of the turban is not mentioned, Torah mentions of a clean gold plate with engraving 'Set-Apartness to Yahuah' was put on the turban tied with a blue cord. The blue was everywhere in Torah which was a part of the royal color which we saw (in sapphire).

Herod and the chief priests and scribes missed understanding the sign of the seven stars brought together as one bright blue star, a miraculous cluster gathering as Yahuah had told Ayob only He could do it , which was understood by the Magi.

Mat 2:1  And יהושע having been born in Běyth Leḥem of Yehuḏah in the days of Herodes the sovereign, see, Magi from the east came to Yerushalayim, 

Mat 2:2  saying, “Where is He who has been born Sovereign of the Yehuḏim? For we saw His star in the East and have come to do reverence to Him.” 

Mat 2:3  And Herodes the sovereign, having heard, was troubled, and all Yerushalayim with him. 

Mat 2:4  And having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 

Mat 2:5  And they said to him, “In Běyth Leḥem of Yehuḏah, for thus it has been written by the prophet, 

Mat 2:6  ‘But you, Běyth Leḥem, in the land of Yehuḏah, you are by no means least among the rulers of Yehuḏah, for out of you shall come a Ruler who shall shepherd My people Yisra’ěl.’ ”

How did the Magi understand?

After Yahusha was born in Bethlehem in Yahudah, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Yerushalayim and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Yahudites?

Mat 2:2  saying, “Where is He who has been born Sovereign of the Yehuḏim? For we saw His star in the East and have come to do reverence to Him.” 

The star that rose in the east was unknown to Herod and all the Sanhedrin but the Magi were aware

Mat 2:7  Then Herodes, having called the Magi secretly, learned exactly from them what time the star appeared.  

The Magi shouldn't be mixed with the astrologers, they were the wise men who were ordained by Babylon, Moab, Egypt, Edom etc who were rulers in their lands and were ones who guided their rulers in establishing the rule in their lands in wisdom. Balaam was a Magi who was hired by Moab to curse Yasharal but he turned out blessing Yasharal. This is what he prophesied about Mashiyach

Num 24:15  And he took up his proverb and said, “The saying of Bil‛am, son of Be‛or, and the saying of the man whose eyes are opened, 

Num 24:16  the saying of him who hears the words of Ěl, and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, with eyes opened wide: 

Num 24:17  “I see Him, but not now; I observe Him, but not near. A Star shall come out of Ya‛aqoḇ, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Yisra’ěl, and shall smite the corners of Mo’aḇ, and shall destroy all the sons of Shěth. 

Num 24:18  “And Eḏom shall be a possession; and Sě‛ir shall be a possession – enemies – and Yisra’ěl is doing mightily. 

Num 24:19  “And out of Ya‛aqoḇ One shall rule and destroy the remnant from Ar.” 

The YashaYahu prophecy:

The Star of Bethlehem could be any star for a mind who wouldn't be guided to understand scriptures. In YashaYahu Yahuah says to whom would you liken me that I would be his equal? He then says to lift up your eyes on high and see who created these (referring to the constellations) & the scripture goes on to say 'The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name' & yet not all the names are revealed to us expect for a few which are names revealed by Him as we read (Ash, Kesyil, Kimah etc). Ayob says 'He seals up the stars' which book of Revelation says 'The mystery of the seven stars in His hand' all point to the reasons why He revealed the names of the constellations in scripture in which He has held a mystery which the Magi understood, while the leaders in Yaahudah didn't understand.

Isa 40:25 To whom then shall you liken Me that I would be his equal? says the Holy One.

Isa 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these, the One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, not one is missing

Job 9:7  who commands the sun, and it does not rise; and He seals up the stars, 

Job 9:8  stretching out the heavens by Himself, and treading upon the waves of the sea; 

Job 9:9  who made Ash, Kesil, and Kimah, and the rooms of the south;

The ones He revealed to us He ordained. Speaking of Mashiyach, Shaul ties the Psalms 8 prophecy to Mashiyach

Psa 8:3  For I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have made firm/kun 𐤊𐤅𐤍 H3559. 

Psa 8:4  What is man that You remember him? And the son of man that You visit him? 

Heb 2:5  For it is not to messengers that He has subjected the world to come, concerning which we speak. 

Heb 2:6  But somewhere one has witnessed, saying, “What is man that You remember him, or the son of man that You look after him? 

The seven stars in the right hand of Mashiyach are the outcasts of Yasharal joined in His Royal kingdom as One Yasharal, as the Psalmists ties them up to the appointment, the number of stars to which he gives names to. The heavens proclaim the esteem of Aluahym. He is the One who gave a sign in the heavens of the One who is His equal (Isa 40:25) by the one who He called by name (His name).

Psa 147:1  Praise Yah! For it is good to sing praises to our Elohim. For it is pleasant – praise is fitting. 

Psa 147:2  יהוה builds up Yerushalayim, He gathers the outcasts of Yisra’ěl – 

Psa 147:3  He heals the broken-hearted And binds up their wounds. 

Psa 147:4  He appoints the number of the stars, He gives names to all of them. 

Psa 147:5  Great is our Master and mighty in power, There is no limit to His understanding.

 Psa 19:1  The heavens are proclaiming the esteem of Ěl; And the expanse is declaring the work of His hand. 

Amos 5:8 specifically points out as the Psalmist says about Yahuah as the Good shepherd and because of Him, he will not fear even though he walks through the shadow of death. And Amos ties this to Kiymah and Kesyil. The wisdom of Yahuah which binds the seven stars together (Kiymah) and separates the fool from his seat of foolishness (Kesyil).

 Psa 23:4  When I walk through the valley of the shadow of death/tsalmaveth, I fear no evil. For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 

Amo 5:8  He who made Kimah and Kesil, and who turns the shadow of death/tsalmaveth into morning and darkened day into night, who is calling for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth – יהוה is His Name – 

How else would the Magi understand the star of Bethlehem if they didn't understand the scripture Job 38:31 when they saw the 7 blues stars brought together as One? There is no out of scripture evidence of any star associated with the coming of Mashiyach. The only inference made is within scripture as 'Star of Yaaqob'. Moreover, why would Yahusha call Himself as the 'Bright and Morning star' & promises to give the morning star to those who believe in Him? He alone turns the shadow of death into morning. The sign Yahuah gave of His equal i.e. the Kiymah.

Rev 22:16  “I, יהושע, have sent My messenger to witness to you these matters in the assemblies. I am the Root and the Offspring of Dawiḏ, the Bright and Morning Star.

Rev 2:28  “And I shall give him the morning star. 

Rev 2:29  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’ 

The Clean shaba and the Unclean in shaniy

 Gen7:2 You shall take with you of every clean animal, seven seven, a male and his female; and of the animal that is not clean two, a male and his female;

Gen7:3 also of the birds of the heavens, seven seven, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth. 

Before Yahuah brought the flood upon the earth, he instructed Noah to build and ark which Kepha says Yahuah was patient with the wicked while the ark was being prepared in which 8 beings were saved through water. While the count given is of humans saved denoted by the number 8, and number 8 in Hebrew is H8083 shamanah 𐤔𐤌𐤍𐤄 which is from 'shaman' H8080, H8081 H8082 𐤔𐤌𐤍 means 'plumpness/fat/greasy/anointing oil'

1Pe 3:20  who were disobedient at one time when the patience of Elohim waited in the days of Noaḥ, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight beings, were saved through water, 

While Kepha records the 8 human beings saved pertaining to salvation, the clean animals and the clean birds were tied to the shemitah service of mankind until the reformation. i.e. clean animals and clean birds were offered as sacrifices until the one and only perfect & ultimate sacrifice of Yahusha ha Mashiyach. Hence, these sevens are closely related to Yahusha Ha Mashiyach as they foreshadow Him in sacrifice. The unclean animals & unclean birds were also tied to the Shemitah as a testing program for mankind, though they never were offered on Yahuah's sacrificial altar but both the clean and unclean animals and birds were also part of the dietary of mankind. While the written Torah came with instructions not to eat the unclean animals and birds, the pre Torah fathers already knew and chose the path of obeying the Torah of life.

Gen 8:20  And Noaḥ built a slaughter-place to יהוה, and took of every clean beast and of every clean bird, and offered ascending offerings on the slaughter-place. 
Gen 8:21  And יהוה smelled a soothing fragrance, and יהוה said in His heart, “Never again shall I curse the ground because of man, although the inclination of man’s heart is evil from his youth, and never again strike all living creatures, as I have done, 

We see post the flood Noah offering clean animals and clean birds on the altar. It was a reflection of him and his family before Yahuah in Mashiyach as Yahuah smelled a soothing fragrance of His own sacrifice.

 The state of mind/heart of mankind would be revealed as a reflection in the path he would choose. For a matter of fact a man/woman offering clean animals/birds and only eating clean animals or birds in obedience to the written Torah could still be unclean within if his/her heart was not inclined to the Torah of life. The clean animals & birds only represented the worshiper on Yahuah's sacrificial altar as he himself was laid on it, just as Yitshaq was whom scripture says was received back as a type.

Heb 11:18  of whom it was said, “In Yitsḥaq your seed shall be called,” 
Heb 11:19  reckoning that Elohim was able to raise, even from the dead, from which he received him back, as a type. 

Heb 9:8  the Set-apart Spirit signifying this, that the way into the Most Set-apart Place was not yet made manifest while the first Tent has a standing, 
Heb 9:9  which was a figure for the present time in which both gifts and slaughters are offered which are unable to perfect the one serving, as to his conscience, 
Heb 9:10  only as to foods and drinks, and different washings, and fleshly regulations imposed until a time of setting matters straight. 

The sacrificial fire revealed the state of the worshiper & while the altars may have changed, they still reveal the state of the heart as the coal/aud either burns on the altar of Yahuah or in His wrath. Its not the animals or birds Yahuah is concerned about when he calls shaba shaba or mentions shanayim, but its the worshiper laid on the altar, with the fire testing and bringing forth what is within is what He is concerned about in his acceptance or rejection based upon the result whether he is clean or unclean.

Gen 7:2 & 3 uses a repetitive word 'shaba shaba' translated as 'seven by seven' in English showing in the first blush meaning to mean the 'male and its female' kind. Similarly in Gen 7:3 we see the clean birds mentioned as 'shaba shaba' but the unclean kind is not mentioned, its absence doesn't mean they were not there. Remember the raven which is an unclean bird was left loose from the ark by Noach which went out and in until the waters had dried up from the earth.

Gen 8:7  and he sent out a raven, which kept going out and turning back until the waters had dried up from the earth. 

The presence of the unclean bird raven in the ark shows the unclean birds were also there two of its kind just as the unclean kind of the animals were also there in the ark.

What shouldn't be missed are 2 things:

1. Yahuah's usage of seven seven (shaba shaba) to keep offspring alive on the face of the earth (Gen 7:2 & 3)

2. Yahuah's usage of two (shaniy)  for the unclean animals with a purpose just as for the cleanl. (Gen 7:2)

Yahuah could have simply said "You shall take with you of every clean animal, seven, a male and his female just as He stated for the unclean animals "and of the animal that is not clean two, a male and his female;" But He called out 'shaba shaba' i.e. seven seven twice and for both with a purpose to keep the offspring alive on the earth.

The word used and translated as offspring is 'zera' 𐤆𐤓𐤏 H2233 

The word zera is used both 'positively & negatively. It has the root word Ra 𐤓𐤏 H7451 translated as evil. But the word has several meanings as adversity, grief, bad, sorrow etc. The 'zayin' 𐤆 is the sharp weapon which will cut the 'grief/sorrow/adversity' of the sin sickness in a sacrifice.

Gen 3:15  “And I put enmity between you (ha shatan) and the woman, and between your seed (zera 𐤆𐤓𐤏) and her Seed (zera 𐤆𐤓𐤏). He shall crush your head, and you shall crush His heel.”

The word 'zera' 𐤆𐤓𐤏 when used in respect to ha shatan's seed i.e. the wicked seed shows a pictograph of 'death'. This is how: the weapon/zayin 𐤆  cuts open revealing the evil/adversity/sorrow state within, while the same may apply for the righteous when in an unclean state (which we will see a bit later) but remember in the study of tree of knowledge of good and evil we saw Yahusha as the Resh will remove their distress/sorrow denoted by the evil eye by making it good.

The same word 'Ra' 𐤓𐤏 H7453 means an associate (more or less close): - brother, companion, fellow, friend, husband, lover, neighbour. Hence, the evil turns out to be good for the chosen.

Rom 8:28  And we know that all matters work together for good to those who love Elohim, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Remember, we are speaking of the clean seven seven zera, which shows Yahuah tied this foreshadowed offspring/zera to be kept alive on the face of the earth & the keeping the zera alive on the face of the earth was not limited to the clean only but to the unclean as well. which is denoted by the two/shanayam 𐤔𐤍𐤉𐤌 H8147

The word 'shanay' 𐤔𐤍𐤉 H8145 & the word 'shanah' 𐤔𐤍𐤄 H8138 means properly double, that is, second; also adverbially again: - again, either [of them], (an-) other, second (time). A repeat witness.

And what do the unclean represent here in a dual witness? They second the clean portrayed as 'clean and unclean', they second the life portrayed as 'life and death', they second mercy portrayed as 'mercy and judgment', they second the good portrayed as 'good and evil' etc. Hence the unclean, death, judgment, evil etc. are all secondary to what is of the good & first rank as clean, life, merc, good etc. And everything is tested by fire.

1Co 3:11  For no one is able to lay any other foundation except that which is laid, which is יהושע Messiah. 
1Co 3:12  And if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 
1Co 3:13  each one’s work shall be revealed, for the day shall show it up, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire shall prove the work of each one, what sort it is.

A simple example would be gold, silver & precious stones are ranked number one whereas wood, hay & straw are ranked as secondary. The builder is Mashiyach as the Son over the house and those in Him are part of the first rank as they transition from the secondary to the first, while wood hay & straw used for building material to build the physical temple and those occupied with the carnal things are part of the unclean i.e. the shanayam. Though they confess the two fold witness from the Dabar i.e. 'The Torah and the Prophets' but they cling to the Torah of sin and death in continuing in the unclean things as they don't see that Yahuah has left the elementary things of the Torah to transition His seed/zera to the Ruach. The letter kills but the Ruach gives life. The Renewed Yershalayim's foundation, walls, gates etc. are all portrayed as precious stones, there is nothing in it of wood, hay & straw.

Rev 21:18  And the structure of its wall was jasper. And the city was clean gold, like clear glass. 
Rev 21:19  And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 
Rev 21:20  the fifth sardonyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 
Rev 21:21  And the twelve gates were twelve pearls – each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was clean gold, like transparent glass. 
Rev 21:22  And I saw no Dwelling Place in it, for יהוה Ěl Shaddai is its Dwelling Place, and the Lamb. 

Hence, Shaul is misunderstood when reading these passages. This is the shallow English translation from the Greek.

1Co 3:14  If anyone’s work remains, which he has built on, he shall receive a reward. 
1Co 3:15  If anyone’s work is burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, but so as through fire. 

The Hebrew translation in 1Corin 3:15 uses the words 'כְּאוּד מֻצָּל מֵאֵשׁ' 'like a coal/aud of shadow/tsal of fire/ash' 𐤊𐤀𐤅𐤃 𐤌𐤑𐤋 𐤌𐤀𐤔

1 Corn 3:15 should be correctly translated as  'And he whose work shall burn, he shall lack, yet, he will be saved like a coal as in a shadow from fire'. 

Amo 4:11  “I have overthrown some of you, as Elohim overthrew Seḏom and Amorah, and you were like a charcoal/H181 𐤀𐤅𐤃 plucked from the burning. But you did not turn back to Me,” declares יהוה. 
Amo 4:12  “Therefore I am doing this to you, O Yisra’ěl. And because I do this to you, prepare to meet your Elohim, O Yisra’ěl!” 

The wicked seed which was part of the assembly was represented as a coal which was part of the sacrificial fire, but now being plucked out and cast into the fire of Yahuah's wrath. The charcoal was once part of the fire of Yahuah's pattern in the physical altar.  Hence, when understanding the usage Shaul is showing we were part of the second (wood, hay & straw) but are saved in continuity in the same sacrificial fire by belief in Mashiyach Yahusha as the coal burning in it.

With the next verse he nails it when he identifies of this burning to the temple which is US in whom the Ruach of Aluahym dwells.

1Cor3:16 Do you not know that you are a temple of Elohim and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells within you? 

Hence, he is speaking of our transition from carnal Torah of sin and death to Mashiyach who is the Torah of Life. Why is a two fold witness given? The purpose is to transition to the first & Yahusha is portrayed in scripture as the 'barashayith/beginning' or the 'firstborn over all creation'. All the rest fell into the second rank with a need to be transitioned into the first i.e. IN HIM

Eph 1:10  to administer at the completion of time, to gather together in one all in Messiah, both which are in the heavens and which are on earth, in Him, 
Eph 1:11  in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being previously ordained according to the purpose of Him working all matters according to the counsel of His desire, 

Ps 62:11 Once/acath H259 תאֶחָ Elohim has spoken/dabar דָּבַר H1696; twice/shanayam שְׁנַיִם H8147 I have heard/H8085 שָׁמַע shama this: that MIGHT/ H5797 עֹז auz belongs to Elohim;

The word shanayam root word ' shanay שָׁנִי 𐤔𐤍𐤉 H8144' which means 'crimson, scarlet'. The scarlet thread/shanay of redemption runs as a shanayam/double or second witness where the Ruach is the first concealed in the second written form called the 'LETTER' which is like a voice speaking/dabar from heaven and what was spoken was written and concealed.

Job 33:14 For Ěl does speak once and/uau ba/in twofold/shanayam– though one does not
notice it –

In Exodus 26:1 we see Moshe being told what the tabernacle should contain.

Ten curtains of twined (shazar) linen (shesh) and blue (thakaleth) and purple (argaman) and double dipped (shaniy) crimson (thalath) with cherubims, the work of a skillful workman.

Both scarlet/shaniy H8144 and crimson/thalath H8438 are red in color and show us the blood
of Mashiyach concealed in Masha’s pattern.

The deliverer is twined/woven in the ten curtains of white, blue, purple and double  dipped crimson. The mystery unfolds as Yahusha the first in rank became part of the kind. I have touch based in the the note 'The Tree of knowledge of good and evil which can be read here: https://dsouzashodan72.blogspot.com/2023/07/the-tree-of-knowledge-of-good-and-evil.html

Being part of humanity in the kind of sinful flesh (yet without sin) He transitions us all into His
first born berekah. This is also seen in the other son receiving the first born berekah.

Yishmael was Abraham's first born son but Yitshaq received the first born berekah. Esau was the first born but Yaaqob received the first born berekah. Manasseh was the firstborn but Ephrayim received the first born berekah.

This can also seen from Zerah and Perets. Remember the word 'shaniy' 𐤔𐤍𐤉 H8145 & the word 'shanah' 𐤔𐤍𐤄 H8138 means properly double, that is, second; also adverbially again: - again, either [of them], (an-) other, second (time). A repeat witness.

Gen 38:27  And it came to be, at the time for giving birth, that see, twins were in her womb. 

Gen 38:28  And it came to be, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand. And the midwife took a scarlet thread/shaniy 𐤔𐤍𐤉 H8144 and bound it on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” 

Gen 38:29  And it came to be, as he drew back his hand, that see, his brother came out! And she said, “How did you break through? This breach be upon you!” So his name was called Perets. 

Gen 38:30  And afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread /shaniy 𐤔𐤍𐤉 H8144 on his hand. So his name was called Zeraḥ.

Zerah was actually the first born as he put out his hand and he was marked unknowingly by the midwife as a second by the scarlet thread (thinking as the first) but his brother Perets came forth first and he was named because his name means 'Breach/Breaking forth 𐤐𐤓𐤑 H6556' 

The name Perets has 2 root words: Par & Rats

Par 𐤐𐤓 H6499 : Bull

Rats 𐤓𐤑 H7518 : potsherd/broken pieces of pottery/fragment. Broken fragments of a pot which were commonly used as writing surfaces for messages.

The Bull fragment was in him, remember the bull was a sacrificial clean animal and Hoshea also says to give Yahuah the bull of our lips.

Hos 14:2  Take words with you, and return to יהוה. Say to Him, “Take away all crookedness, and accept what is good, and we render the bull/𐤐𐤓 H6499 of our lips.

The second who came attained the first born berekah (blessing). He is mentioned in the genealogy of Mashiyach.

Mat 1:3  And Yehuḏah brought forth Perets and Zeraḥ by Tamar, and Perets brought forth Ḥetsron, and Ḥetsron brought forth Ram. 

Yahusha is the second voice spoken of in Hebrews 12 and identified as the first voice which couldn't be comprehended by the listener and they told Masha that he himself go alone lest they die. Masha went and came back with the written Torah and they didn't understand the second voice as well. The Speaker is the same but with the first and second voice. That is why those who do not believe in His divinity are stuck not understanding the second voice as well and not transitioning to the first. The second voice came written in a parabolic language & is the second witness that Yahusha spoke and thus when he said "He who has ears let him hear", He was indicating that those who are able to understand/perceive will transition while the rest will remain in their unclean state guessing and misrepresenting what was spoken. To the messages to the 7 assemblies it is repeated each time " He who has ears let him hear what the Ruach says to the assemblies"

Heb 12:25  Take heed not to refuse the One speaking. For if those did not escape who refused the warning on earth, much less we who turn away from Him from heaven, 
Heb 12:26  whose voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying,
“Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.”

The voice is singular.

The shaba shaba: 𐤔𐤁𐤏 𐤔𐤁𐤏  

The 7 pattern became evident in the Shemitah as 7 x 7 + 1 in the counting of the omer, the jubilee (7 x 7 + 1), the 7 + 7 = 14 generations each from Abraham to David, from David to exile in Babel & from exile from Babel to Mashiyach, Yaaqob after serving 7 years was cheated by Laban as he gave her Leah, hence, he served another 7 years for Rachel i.e. 7 + 7 and from her came forth Yoseph who received the birthright of Reuben etc.

Mat 1:17  So all the generations from Aḇraham to Dawiḏ were fourteen generations, and from Dawiḏ until the exile to Baḇel were fourteen generations, and from the exile to Baḇel until the Messiah were fourteen generations.

Gen 29:18  And Ya‛aqoḇ loved Raḥěl, so he said, “Let me serve you seven years for Raḥěl your younger daughter.” 

Gen 29:26  And Laḇan said, “It is not done this way in our place, to give the younger before the first-born. 
Gen 29:27  "Complete the week/𐤔𐤁𐤏 shaba H7620 of this one, then we give you this one too, for the service which you shall serve with me still another seven years.”

Laban used the word 'SHABA' translated as week in Gen 29:27 which is actually saying, complete another shemitah to acquire Rachel. And Yahuah rewarded him by giving him Yoseph which means 'Yahuah will Add' and he was a type of Mashiyach who was to come.

1Ch 5:1  As for the sons of Re’uḇěn the first-born of Yisra’ěl – he was the first-born, but because he profaned his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Yosěph, son of Yisra’ěl, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright, 
1Ch 5:2  for Yehuḏah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Yosěph’s – 

The shaba 𐤔𐤁𐤏 H7651 translated as 'seven' has the root words 'shab' 𐤔𐤁 which means 'turn', sha 𐤔𐤏 which means 'watch' , ba 𐤁𐤏 which means 'to swell or spring as a fountain'

The repetition of the word shows us a Shemitah cycle which will come to its rest because the one to come at the turning point in this cycle to breach it is Yahusha, He is the fountain of life who was watching throughout. The shab is in Sabbath 𐤔𐤁𐤕, the shab 𐤔𐤁 is in the turn and return (shub ashub) which Yahuah told Abraham that He would come at the 'time of life' and Sarah shall have the promised seed (Gen 18:10), the sha is in the shah/𐤔𐤏𐤄 the hour of His coming to complete the entire cycle in Himself. He is the bull of our lips.

Matt6:9 “Therefore, this is what you should pray: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, may Your name be sanctified.’” 

The Hebrew prayer the ADON taught us to pray has the words 'Our Father 𐤔𐤁 𐤔𐤌𐤉𐤌 return (shab) to the heavens (shamayim)  , may your name be 𐤉𐤕 𐤒𐤃𐤔 sanctified by the impaled hands' Yod/𐤉 is the hand and Tau/X is the stake.

The Hebrew word Yath 𐤉𐤕 H3487 is like the Ath 𐤀𐤕 (alaph tau), a sign pointing to an object.

Why is this significant?

Mat 24:37  “And as the days of Noaḥ, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be. 

Yahusha said as in the days of Noah, so also shall the coming of the Son of Adam be. He is the completion of the pattern and the 5 loaves and the 2 fish also show us this. The number 5 represents the Torah and the number 2 the two fold witness in the Torah as the Torah of sin and death and the Torah of life, denoted by the two fish.

When did Yahuah tell Noah of the clean and unclean? Exactly 7 days before the flood. The Ahba had returned to the heavens to open the windows of heavens and fountains of the deep to bring forth His wrath while 8 beings were saved from this wrath.

Gen 7:4  “For after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, and shall wipe from the face of the earth all that stand that I created.” 

The eight souls were Noah and his wife, his three sons and their 3 wives.

Gen 7:7  And Noaḥ and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. 

The covenant of the rainbow in the cloud which has 7 colors was given to the elect that just as He saved Noah from the waters, He would continually restrain Himself from bringing His wrath upon the earth.

Gen 9:11  “And I shall establish My covenant with you, and never again is all flesh cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again is there a flood to destroy the earth.” 
Gen 9:12  And Elohim said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living being that is with you, for all generations to come: 
Gen 9:13  “I shall set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 

We saw the number eight in Hebrew is H8083 shamanah 𐤔𐤌𐤍𐤄 which is from 'shaman' H8080, H8081 H8082 𐤔𐤌𐤍 means 'plumpness/fat/greasy/anointing oil'

The word is broken down as sham/𐤔𐤌name & man/𐤌𐤍 portion. The anointing oil poured on the head made the prophet, priest & king come into the office of the first rank from an ordinary/common/unclean.

The word picture is amazing. Yahuah had to spell out the single shaba/seven as shaba shaba 𐤔𐤁𐤏 𐤔𐤁𐤏 twice to show the cycle of transition from the carnal pattern to the ruach pattern i.e. the clean animals & clean birds foreshadowed the perfect & ultimate one and only offering of the body of Mashiyach once and for all. Adam and his descendants were ushered into this continuous cleansing cycle dependency with a fear of the SECOND/Shaniy 𐤔𐤍𐤉 death.

Heb 2:14  Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself similarly shared in the same, so that by means of His death He might destroy him having the power of death, that is, the devil, 
Heb 2:15  and deliver those who throughout life were held in slavery by fear of death. 

This cycle was broken by Mashiyach as all the pattern finds its fulfillment in Him.

Rev2:11 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second/shaniy  𐤔𐤍𐤉 death/muth 𐤌𐤅𐤕 .”

This call out was a forward cycle ---------->

The unclean in the shaniy is the backward cycle <------------

Lets see this word picture below to understand this:

The unclean second in rank chosen is sanctified/qadash by the hands/yod impaled to the stake/tau to be part of the shaman (anointing oil/name portion), while the unclean not chosen remains in the unclean state always in the second rank in the Torah of sin and death, not able to attain the first rank/first born berekah in Mashiyach.

Yahuah didn't call out shaniy shaniy twice as the word itself has a double/second witness pointing to the first rank. The Ruach in the letter, the Ruach enables the elect to understand the letter and hence, testifies of the oral Torah spoken through Yahuah's mouth and recorded by the nebim/prophets as they were ministering to us (pointing forward). Today if you will hear His voice harden not your hearts scripture says as in the wilderness. Yahuah has spoken once and twice I have heard.

May Yahuah barakh us all to attain the the first in rank in Mashiyach!
