Okay we've been doing a deep dive into the study of the kingdom of GOD / heaven within us all using the Genesis 1:26-28 scriptures as our springboard. With this post I shall shift our attentions to Genesis 2 verses 5 of 4-7, which says it all in this the KJV first then the ASV and then the ESV for kicks and giggles. And if that is not enough we shall also look at the KJV+ for a short word study. But I must say this, first this comes just after the Seventh Day of Sabbath rest of Gen, 2:1-3, as the last day of Creations record. Being the next day as I have stated and taken heat from the outsiders worlds of the religious sects who believe other wise. As they by practice of teaching or brainwashing lump it all together as being mans creation during the sixth day, which we are to find out was not so. That said, I want to draw your attention to this record of events and the last section of verse 5 as it is broken into 4 section by ,'s, and a :'s use. So we'll look at verses 4-7; And making use of the Strong's word numbering system and word study in that system.
The KJV: "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 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. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the LORD God formed (John 1:1-5) man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
Now for the ASV: "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven. And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and "there was not a man" to till the ground; But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And Jehovah God formed (John 1:1-5) man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
Here's the ESV: "These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and "there was no man" to work the ground, and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground—then the LORD God formed the man (John 1:1-5) of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature."
Now for our do diligence of verse 5 in 4 parts, 4 is our targeted passage section, using the KJV+: "and there was notH369 a manH120 to tillH5647 (H853) the ground.H127"
The first is H369 translated "not", it being different from the one not above H3808 translated "not": 'ayin ay'-yin As if from a primitive root meaning to be nothing or not exist; a non-entity; generally used as a negative particle: - else, except, fail [father-] less, be gone, in [-curable], neither, never, no (where), none, nor (any, thing), not, nothing, to nought, past, un [-searchable], well-nigh, without, Compare H370.
While H3808 means this: lô' lô' lôh lo, lo, lo lo; a primitive particle; not (the simple or abstract negation); by implication no; often used with other particles: - X before, + or else, ere, + except, ig [-norant], much, less, nay, neither, never, no ([-ne], -r, [-thing]), (X as though . . . , [can-], for) not (out of), of nought, otherwise, out of, + surely, + as truly as, + of a truth, + verily, for want, + whether, without.
Then we find H120 translated as "man"; 'âdâm aw-dawm' From H119 {'âdam aw-dam' To show blood (in the face), that is, flush or turn rosy: - be (dyed, made) red (ruddy).}; ruddy, that is, a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.): - X (Gen. 1:26-28) another, + hypocrite, + common sort, X low, man (mean, of low degree), person.
The next word is H5647 (H853) translated as "till": ‛âbad aw-bad' A primitive root; to work (in any sense); by implication to serve, till, (causatively) enslave, etc.: - X be, keep in bondage, be bondmen, bond-service, compel, do, dress, ear, execute, + husbandman, keep, labour (-ing man), bring to pass, (cause to, make to) serve (-ing, self), (be, become) servant (-s), do (use) service, till (-er), transgress [from margin], (set a) work, be wrought, worshiper. (John 6:53; 8:8; Gal. 4:29, 5:16; Heb. 2:14; and 1Peter 4:1). Then H853 translated "till": 'êth ayth Apparently contracted from H226 {'ôth oth Probably from H225 ['ûth ooth A primitive root; properly to come, that is, (impliedly) to assent: - consent.] (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.: - mark, miracle, (en-) sign, token.} in the demonstrative sense of entity; properly self (but generally used to point out more definitely the object of a verb or preposition, even or namely): - (As such unrepresented in English.)
Oh, the wondrous things that we can discover when we do a forensic search of scriptures. More to come of that I am sure.
