The Fourth Chapter of Genesis.

§ 96. The attempt at guiding one's waythrough one set or kind ofhieroglyphic readings spurs out, here and there, hints which may be used as helps to other kinds of con-struction. Rabbinically and kabbalistically, it is averred that the entire Biblical knowledge is held in the first four chapters of Genesis ; but it is also taught that the subtlety ofteaching, or its comprehensiveness, is such as to prevent recognition in many ways and details. One great cloak to blind as to determined readings of the narrative style is in the making use of the hermaphrodite condition ; for in-stance, a personification combining the idea of male and female may be treated of as -difeminine quality^ through determinative construction, while at the same time it may becharacterized bysuperficialdescription inits otherquality as male. Thus the name Jacob, ^pl^"% or J^i^^ is heel, is hermaphrodite, where, as regards the whole concreted name, Jah (or Jehovah) is masculine, while heel is the fem-inine part. — Jacob evinces this by seizing with his hand (1» :^ I _|_4 5) the heel of his brother. The word T, or hand, has a sexual meaning masculine, while the heel is feminine, and yet as a pictured hieroglyph, and as 5, it is the womb, a creative number. Thus a double combination ofJacob's hand, male, with Esau's heel, female ; or ofEsau, male, with Jacob, in his feminine quality oiheel, as female, which betokened the changes of relationship which they should take to each other on the celestial circle. So also with relationto the glyphs ofSodom. Nork shows, clearly enough, that the controlling characteristics of the Sodom description are feminine. Its geographical location was at the salt lake, andVenus sprang— from the salt foam. It was the as^haltum or bitumen lake, to that extent a Typhonicn2703 ¶3

—n2703 ¶4

emblem of darkness^ or the pit, also feminine. It was at evening, when the angels went over from Abram, the sun measure (who, as typifying this measure, was at midday seated in the door of a pyramidal structure, under the ver-tical rays), to his brother, or countermart (or sister), Lot, seated in thegate of a fortress^—2\\ feminine traits. The recondite meaning connected with the place was as of the abyss, ecclesiastically paralleled to woman^s desire; and thus " those^^ (men?) of Sodom who attempted to seize the male guests ofthe patriarch's brother, though his daughters were offered a"5«^r-fice, are clearly enough determinative of the real natural fact that they {'' those^^) were women. Further determinations are made. It is Lot's wife that turns back with longing desire, and is converted into a pillar of salt, a monument of combination ; while it is Lot's daughters to whom the impulse of repeopling the world is given. The tracing of the subtle substitutive in-volutions of these qualities becomes the necessity for the reading of the more important teachings of the esoterism. It is under just such a cloak that the feminine character of Hebcl, or Abel, is concealed in 4th Genesis.n2703 ¶5

It has been seen that the Garden rested on the Adam orn2703 ¶6

144 form, as 4 squares of6 X 6 36each, around a central point ; then the crossed lines are extended out, so that the area 36 is expressed in line measure ofthat number ; which 36 is diameter to 113 o-f- ; which brings up the 113 : 355, from whence the woman and the Parker numbers, con-structive of the pyr=amid. Now, subdivide these lines of 36 by 4, or 36 X 4 144 each, and in number we have = 4 of them. The operation is indicated by 4^, or 36 X 16 576, as 144 X 4, and the letters ofCam's name, pp, added as to their full values—, gives the character value of 16, asn2703 ¶8

100+ 10-{-50= 16 o. The Garden has now become,n2703 ¶9

under this use, one of a square of 144 in the center, or Adam, expanded into f = our such squares, or, together, a large square of 144 X 2 288 to the side ; or, ctibcd, the Adam or hermaphrodite cube, as a primal one, is, in sep-arating into male and female, each a perfect one, enlargedn2703 ¶10

Appendix VILn2703 ¶11

274 § 96.n2703 ¶12

by 8 other cubes into another perfect one, where, however, it is composed of the separated uni — ties. The circumfer-ence of this large square is 144 X 2 288 to the side, and 288X4=1152 for circumference, and as indicating this we have the first values 115, by reading the letter values ofCain's name, as they run, in ^p, or 115. The measure of a horizontal line passing through—this garden, then, will be noted fromverge to center, as 144 441 ; counterfarted ^ so as to exhibit separated qualities,—just as it was in the ex-pression of woman-man, as 311 113; and this is the meaning, or source of meaning, of the kabbalistic—use of reverse readings. It was always the double cube i. e., male-female, i. e.,— white-black; — and it explains the read-ing given of 1656 6561, or 6561 1656, already had. But a most interesting feature now presents itself in this subdi-vided value of this garden—. 144 is 12 X 12, and the side of the great square of 144 441 is 12-J-12, or 24 in length, where 144 is taken as, sa=y, inches, and reduced tofeet. 24 isfour sixes, or 6 X 4 24. Now, this is exactly the measure of the base of the great pj^ramid in this identical scale of measure ; for i^o.^S^-\-feet, which is diameter to -I a circumference of 600 feet, is numerically just of then2703 ¶13

=n2703 ¶14

side ofthe base ofthat structure, and 600 X 4 i\oofc€t, as the circumference to the base side in feet, taken as a diameter value.n2703 ¶15

(Perhaps a simplerwayofexplaining the likeness is this: The pyramid base side" is diameter to a circumference of 2^00feet, which can be used as its equivalent; and 24feet is the charac-n2703 ¶16

is Adam, the nucleus of the garden, and may be taken as the square of12,for area, or as 144 for the side ofa square. Place this in the center of four squares of like size, and the side of the larger square, so framed, will be 288, or the char = acteristic of the base side of the pyramid in inches. 288 X 4 1152, the total circumference. Besides this, this 1152, as designative ofthis cir-cumference, is symbolized bythelettersINRI,'standing for earth, air,fire, and water, the elements composing the cosmos which the pyramid measures. Bend theselettersintoa circle, and theirn2703 ¶17

Appendix VII.n2703 ¶18

§ 96. 275n2703 ¶19

number values read 1152. This is referred to in the last part of this Appendix.)n2703 ¶20

Here the characteristic value is taken in 24 feet. Again, ref—erring to the garden — form of the crossed lines being 36 6^, these indicate 113 311,for 113.0+ is circumference to 2^ as a diameter ; and 113 X 5, ifthis be so subdivided, equals 565, or JllH, or Eva, or hovah. But to indicate the cube of 8, enlarged from the cube ofone, the letters H and n are, together, an oblong of two squares—(p. 160), or t—he Phcnician fence ^ giving these two letters viz., divided and one part of this oblong is H, and the other H ; but H is the womb letter, or 5, as showing the half of the -primal one, and taken as the single cube, it requires just 8 others for the enlarged cube, and the letter11, the otherpart ofthe oblong, is 8. Therefore, mil, or primal Eve, and Hin, or Eve separated to be the -prodiici^igmother, are simply de-terminative of this, as the one is H (or 5), Eve, and the other n (or 8), Eve. This enlargement is based on the idea that for every perfect woman there must be a perfect man hence the combination is a black cube and a white ; cube, the practical value being in the meetingof the cubes or covenant: so that while (H)-ouva, or !lXi^)> is woman, (Ch)-ouva, or nXn)» is woman having a husband. But this doubled form is an oblong, and, to make it a perfect square, four must be taken, or 8 such alternating cubes, ton2703 ¶21

make another perfect cube. The commingling of Adamn2703 ¶22

with Eve produced the welding together ofthe two Garden forms in Cain, or yehuvah, who was the divider, or meas-urer, or distributor. Cain was Vulcain, and Vulcain, with the Egyptians, was the greatest of the gods, or of the Cabirim. Vulcain was Pater-Sadic, the Right One, or the Just One ; and by Fuerst : " Sanconiathon calls one ofthe constellations Mizor, 1?/D, a brothe — r of Sadie, pH^ (same with Melchi-Sadic, the Just One) i. e., Jupiter;" which simply shows that Mitsar, orMitzar, ll^'D, Egypt, was the same with Mizar, 1?0, and was both wife and sister of Jupiter, who was the Melchizadik of the Hebrews. SeyfFarth, Part 2, p. 74, gives Cabiri?n as Gibborim, "then2703 ¶23

276 Appendix VII. § 96.n2703 ¶24

mighty men of renown in those days," in 6th Genesis. And Fuerst says of the Cabirim (planets) : "A name of the 7 sons of pH^*," or Pater Sadie, or Cain, or Jupiter. As the expression ''-Adam (144) knew Eve (56-5 or 56-8), is but the commingling of the Garden of Eden ele-ments, and as the Cain form is but another use ofthe same elements, it is most interesting to read the teaching of Irenaeus (xxxiv) (Adam and Cain being one), that "the father and the son lie with the woman ^ whom they call Mother of all that live (Eva)." (Sod., p. 74.) How true it is here, for it is the intermingling of the squared forms of earth measure (Adam-Cain) with the circular measures taking their rise from the woman (HJJ^Nn, 5315) ; whence Eve, as shown.n2703 ¶25

Before proceeding to the reading of 4th Genesis, a governing determinative should be taken into considera-tion. — Cain has, in one respect, the same quality with Adam viz., he is " <z divider of the Adam-h^'' or tiller of the soil," and as with Adam, it may go to show the use of measures in right lines, though connected with circular values. This seems to be determined bv the fact that Cain is said to be "Jehovah; and the other fact that in all the conversations in this glyph, the god-name Elohim (or 31415), circumfer = ence value is droppe = d, and Jehovah^ mn* (or 113 X .5 56-5 X '" (= nin*) 565 > Eva), a di-ameter value is alone used. Such being the main idea (whatever the uses under it, which no doubt involve time and earth measures), when this special phase oftheproblem is worked out, and perfectly ended in the Cain glyph, as a variation on the generalworkings of the main problem, the subject is resumed underthe otherform ; for, as determina-tive of this, the TVsTV form is dropped, and that of circum-ference is again taken up in the expression " for God hath appointed me another seed instead ofAbel," where, lor the first and only time in these connections, the term Elohim (31415), God, is used. = The seed was TW, Seth, they = ear, ts values being 3 X 4 12, and, as an origin, 34-4 7.n2703 ¶26

(a.) (i.) The first sentence in 4 Gen. i, is : "And Adamn2703 ¶27

knew Eve, his wife and she conceived and bare Cain, and ; said, I have gotten a man from the Lord," agreeably to the accepted translation, which is manifestly a false rendering. A better and more literal rendering is : "And Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived and bare Cain, and said, ; I have measured a man, even ychovak." The reading is ka'nithi aish eth Jehovah or ^n2703 ¶28

Here the proper name is taken as a measure. Wordsworth, in a note — on 4 Gen. i, on — this passage, says : " Cain Ihavegotten\ Katn, fromKa'nithi., Ihave gotten. Here is an instance — of the principle on which names were given in primitive times namely, a desire to indicate some leading characteristic of the person, or thing, to which they were given. See (Genesis) ch. iii., v. 20. Kain i—ntimates acquisition., and Eve's next son was called by her Abel i. e., vanity., 'weakness'^ This principle, as laiddown by Dr. Wordsworth, is found everywhere to be a right one. Here, while the name may stand for a great variety of uses (a phenomenon of the hieroglyphic), one fundame — ntal recognition is oi thefact denoted the act of Eve viz., / have measured^ is fol-b}'-lowed by the substantive form, a measure, or Cain, or ye-hovah. The word of the text is derived by Wordsworth from ka'nithi, I have gotten. The derivation is good, forn2703 ¶29

Wen2703 ¶30

the verbal is kanah, HJp. find this as H^p, a substan-tive, meaning measuringstick, or rod, the beam of a bal-ance, from the verbal HJp ofWordsworth, which is "iden-tical in its organic root with IIJD, or Cdndh, to divide, separate.'' (Fuerst.) So—, also. Sir William Drummond takes the same derivation viz., as a measure. (Qidipus Judaicus, p. 196, on chap. 15, v. 22, and chap. 17, v. 9, of the Book ofJoshua.) The derivations run offinto other significations ; as, for instance, H^D, Cdndh, to divide, sep-arate, is same as 11^11, chdndh, both meaning tofierce, as " n^n, chdndh, (i.) to incline, to bend ; (2.) to fierce of a tueapon, organic root ofwhich T\'T\, chn-h, also lies in |p, Kn (pp, Kan), belonging to pp, Kayin, Cain (proper name)." (Fuerst.) As exceedingly pertinent to this sub-n2703 ¶31

278 Appendix VII. § 96.n2703 ¶32

ject, after HJH, chdndh, and next in order of words comes the word " 111^11, chanoch, noun proper, (i.) of the son of Cain (meaning Instructor, Initiator), by LXX, e'vw;^, (2.) of the son of Methuselah, who founded the 365 year." (Fuerst.) It is so pertinent, because of showing Cain to be the measure, in Chanoch his son, the instructor, or ini-tiator, of the astronomical circle and the solar year. And also, likewise, " The god of //;«ewas worshiped underthe names of pfl, chiun, by the Egyptians ; clearly taken from p3, ciun'^ (Fuerst, under pD, ciun, a name of Saturn, or Seth) ; and V\'2, diun, is same with pp, Cain. Th^ pillar was a mark of the year, and Nork says of Cain that he was as the German pfeil, pfcilcr, spear, ox -pillar, or the god with the hasta or spear point. Thus one has the word Cain as a dividing, splitting, oxpiercing measureoftime ; and, besides, he was the earth measurer. Now, Vulcain was the Pater Sadie, or Melchizadik, and as a form of Mars, with the Egyptians, he held the ecliptic. Libra, or the balance, and also was the piercer, with the sign of Mars, or the hasta, or spear. Tubal-Cain, son of Cain, has been taken by commentators asVulcain, but there was no need of going so far forthe sameness. The very name Vulcain appears in the reading, for in the first words of 4 Gen. 5, is to be found V'elcain, or Vulcain, agreeably to the deepened u sound of the letter vau. Out of its imme-n2703 ¶33

"n2703 ¶34

diate context, it may be read as, aiid the god Cain,'^ or Vulcain. If, however, anything is wanting to confirm then2703 ¶35

"n2703 ¶36

Cain-Vulcain idea, Fuerst says : Pp? Cain, the iron point of a lance, a smith (blacksmith), inventor of sharp iron tools and smith work." Cain, as a number value, is, as the letters run, 115; adding the full values 160, or character value of 16, or adding the character values (as I -|- I -f 5) is 7. He is at the head — ofa system of calcula-tion, PS Seth is ; Seth, TS^, being 3 4, as the letters run, adding the character values, is 7, or multiplying them, 3 X 4=12. But Seth seems to be the more perfect value, for it is composed of the productive numbers 3 and 4. Mars and Vulcain, or Cain, or Pater Sadie, are forms ofn2703 ¶37

Appendix VII.n2703 ¶38

§ 96. 279n2703 ¶39

each other. Under the Egyptian forms of the celestial system, by one or other form, Mars held the solstice and equinox points. But Mars was the generator.^ while Vul-cain was the divider or measurer.n2703 ¶40

(2.) Cain, as son of Adam, 144, was Adam ; and, = as 5 s 6 o . n 5 o X f t ' h " e ( w = o X m VS a X n V) ^ = he 56 w 5 a = s m 11 n 3,= ma E n v ; a ; a w n h d er 1 e 1 , 3 i X n . 5 5 6.5 X ^^, Jehovah springs from 113, ox man: so, thus Cain, the measure^ was man, as 113, and Jehovah as 565*. And so, also, Cain thus welding together the Adam and woman forms of the garden, thus becomes really a determinative of what has preceded in the narrative. He was 144, and its feminine, or circular derivatives ; and this is determined, for it is said "Cain was a divider (by measure) ofthe earth." The words are rTD"1N ID^, obed Adam-h. The verbal obed, is to divide, to separate, to mark by long stripes or furrows ; and these are the more radical meanings, the secondary derivation being to till, to cultivate. It is thus expressly said that Cain is a divider of the Adam-h, or of the 144-5, or 720. Taken literally, and always in division keeping the counterpar—t form, then2703 ¶41

But, virtually, it is seen that this is but the Garden form. It is very curious that the counterpart values present stran = ge co-ordinations with the general subject-matter; for, 6-;^, 9X7, and 7 is characteristic of^, and 9 is of >^, or together ^^, ots, the tree of the Garden; 81 is the side of the area square of 6561, the Parker base; while 9, the las = t sub-division, with the 16 of Cain's name, gives 9 X 16 144, or a curious restoration ofthe Adam form of 144 in its sub-d = ivision of the cube of 3, and the square ot 4 ; and 16 -^ 9 1777.77+, the cubit value of the base of the pyramid. Cain's function seems to be marked as of the quadrant di-vision lines of the square, or of the cube, or he seems to represent the cross division lines. It has been shown that for calendar purposes, Cain, as 115, was the complementn2703 ¶43

28o Appendix VII.n2703 ¶44

§ 96.n2703 ¶45

lo make up the standard year of 360 days,= or the celestial circle of 360 degrees, as 28 + 217 -|- 115 360 : and that on this, as a standard, the addition of the 5 epagomenai days made up the full solar yearof365 days. Thus, Cain can be taken as this value of 360 degrees, of which he holds the crossed lines as exactly balanced, because he was the yust One. This was the standard celestial circle, of which the horizontal diameter was the ecliptic, to which plane all movements ofthe heavenly bodies were referred. The divisions of the Zodiac (ring of life) were laid off on this circle in 12 compartments. The compartmentofSag-gitarius bounded on the winter solstice, and was called Tohi as a month; then followed the Goat, Waterman, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, and Gemini, six divisions closing upto thesummersolstice in Gemini, whichwascalledPani. But by this distribution Scorpio falls to the second sign be-low the autumnal equinox. The actual distribution of the full solar year months, on these signs, did not accord with them ; but June being Cancer, as a month, to accord with the signs, fell back on to the sign Gemini, of the standard circle or zodiac, 22 degrees, or days, so that June 22, for the month, accorded with the boundary line of Pani. By thisarrangement, which was the correctone, Scorpio would also fall back, as a month, to within ten degrees or days of the boundary line of the autumnal equinox (September 22 to end of month inclusive 9 days -\- the ist day of Oc-tober) ; which ten degrees, or ten days, was the amount ton2703 ¶46

be added to the 355 year, orAbram-Isaacyear, to make upn2703 ¶47

the full complement of 365 days. Putting these ten days in a box, carried the last day ofthe 355-day year over this gap of ten degrees, which, as blotted out, carried or con-tinued the equinoctial to the first dayofScorpio, not as next to, but as the actual first day of October. And, indeed, this was the adjustment as made by the Hebrews for 355n2703 ¶48

was their basic year value, and hyXheivsquared/orm, they followed the order of the actual months, so that the third quadrant ofthe yearrun : Leo, Virgo asthe corner square, and then Libra. By this arrangement, this or the holyn2703 ¶49

§ 96.n2703 ¶50

square, or cube, was embraced, between Cancer and Scor-pio, depicted as so much alike as to represent the cheru-bim, measuring the holy cube in the holy of holies. It was the function of Cain, to adjust these unequal qualities,n2703 ¶51

A An2703 ¶52

the one to the other; i. standard year base; 2. standard zodiacal circle ; 3. The arrangement of the actual year of 365 daj's for distribution on this circle. But it is seen that under the squared form Scorpio could be treated ofas Libra on the standard circle, so that the same phraseology would apply to each. By this month arrange-ment, also, the same figures would apply to the same sea-sons perpetually ; while, by the fixed value ofthe signs of the Zodiac, they would fall away from fixed locations of the year by the lapse of time, as they have done.n2703 ¶53

Thus, under this explanation, one of these cross lines leads from Scorpio, and this was the place of piercing the dying sun, or rather of impregnating the deaths with the new sun. Here, at the autumnal cross, as referred to the center of the square, was the piercing of Abel accom-plished ; but unfortunately for what is called orthodoxy, the bloodshed was chdthan ddnii, *D"1 [riH, or the bloods of the bride chamber. How exceedingly wonderful the connecting links of this esoterism are ! Jes—us w = as the sonn2703 ¶54

of man, the Ben Enosh, or Enosh, or 365 i 364, then2703 ¶55

TWn2703 ¶56

son of theyear, or Scth, ; but the patriarch Judah, son of Jacob, the Leo or lion of the Zodiac, and renewer of this Garden of Eden glyph, in his^hase ofworking, found Tamar on the same crossed lines, at the same place (the solstice line crosses the equinoctial at the center ; the cross-ing being in common, Judah looked down to his opposite for Tamar, and met her in the center, just as Scorpio met Taurus at the same place), but at harvest, along the solstice line between Leo and the goat, and she was the ancestress of Jesus through Pharez. Now, while Enosh is the j^ear, Tamar was the palm-tree, a recognized symbol of the sun and of the year, in its hollowness, or nothingness, showing another phase of this astronomical picture ; so that, both by numbers and by types, and also by derivation, Jes-usn2703 ¶57

282 Appendix VII.n2703 ¶58

§ 96.n2703 ¶59

was the sun, as well as a man ; and as such,Jesus andAbel were one. The glyphs, as the saying is, run on all fours together. Cain, a Mars form, pierces Abel, and the Roman soldier, a son of Mars, pierces Jesus. Both, by Kabbal-ism, are pierced at the meeting of the cubes, or covenant, or at the intersection of the crossed lines. Abel is said by some to be the same with Abelion, the sun. In the " Ros-icrucians," by Hargrave Jennings, is a representation ofthe astrological-theological cross. The man Jesus is depicted as half male, half female ; the female, or sinister, or dark, or evil side, being blackened. On this cross He is pierced in the sinister side, in the venter, which by the chart is Virgo (but should be Virgo, Scorpio), the place of piercing being in the side ofthe man, or in the approach to the door of Indranee, and just where the woman was taken from the man's side in the Garden. But man, as 311, is the woman, or the — two are interchangeable under the coun-terpart form 311 113, so that the piercing is the type of the consummation of marriage, duplicated in that oj" the rite of circumcision.n2703 ¶60

So Cain is Melchizadik, or Pater Sadie, or Jupiter ; the Just One, or the Right One, or the Adjuster. He is the ecliptic, and the balance line for equinox, and solstice. He is the divided cube, representing, as to one of its phases, the heavenly measures. It is not a single cube, but is made up of 8 cubes of 144, each, in its subdivided form, com-bining distinct males and females, for production.n2703 ¶61

(3.) The narrative proceeds, "And she again bare his brother Abel ;" where the word brother is simply an ob-scuration of the sex of Abel (he being hermaphrodite), which in reality predominates in this glyph as/c?nale. It is observable, too, that no mention is made in this case of knowledge by Adam. It is so in the firstverse, and it is so in the close, as relates to Seth, but here there is omis-sion. Abel is 7^,T Hebel, and, adding the character values (3+2 + 5) equals 10, or the perfect one, or Jeho-vah, showi—ng that Abel and Cain are but phases of the same form viz., of Jehovah. As this is so, while ^^,-1,n2703 ¶62

sun. In this form the values run 32-5, and 32 X 5 =160 Cain thus showing the collateral sameness. As a num-; ber value 10 is the perfect cube (so was Cain) ; it is also circumference to31.8 as a diameter, andthis was the Gnos-tic Christ, who was Jehovah. But the double form of Je-hovah, as male-female, is here eliminated, because by the determinatives Hebel is made to assume the feminine side of his own form exclusivel3^ The meaning of the word Hebel is emptiness, nothingness. This is the idea of the primal God. In Kabbala, thefirst cause^ God, is named rj<, oin, nothing. (Franck, 115, quoted from Sod. p. 67.) Nothingness is used as a mark ofthefemale. Nork says that the beautiful Naamah was an astronomical name for Venus ; as she was, also, he says, the Bohu, or word for void in i Gen. v. 2. Take other words of like and kin-n2703 ¶67

—n2703 ¶68

dred and correlative meanings : p^^ ayin "8 from p^, un (==p5<, un), same as pi<, aven, nothingness, vanity (=7]3rT' ^^^^)? sin, lie, . . . but see p^, o;z." (Fuerst.) Under p^, on, but in form p|^, avon, is" found the idea of emptiness, with sin and cohabitation all com-bined. This is determinative ofthe cha7-acteroi\h^ circle as a personage : (i.) That it is but the circle part o — fthe 10, the straight line, or diameter value, being left out i. e., it is an empty circle ; (2.) That, sexually, Abel is feminine, for the purpose of this glyph. This is again determined with a new significance in the description, "And Abel was a keeper of sheep," or follower of cattle. The words keeper of sheep, are Hyi, roeh tson. This wordn2703 ¶69

roch, keepe—r, is a compound of ^"1, ra, evil, bad, wicked, malignant in short, the early church characteristics of woman; and with appended H, h, is not only a shepherd, but a shepherdess. But = take the word as a numerical de-terminative, ^"1= 27, n 5, and 27X5=135, or .1:^*K, or woman. Again under p}<, avon, same as p^, un (vari ously pointed), not only are the same meanings expressed, but, also, it is used as On, or Heliopolis, the city of then2703 ¶70

284 Appendix VII. § 96.n2703 ¶71

Sun^ which is the hollow circle of the year. But, indeed, 7^n ' <^h^bcl, signifies, to conceive^ 2X^0^ains of birth.n2703 ¶72

And thus a feature of the glyph is of the Garden of Eden: (i.) In its masculine, or right line, form of Cain-Adam, and (2.) in \{sfeminine , or sun circle, formofAbel ; and its object is, in some sort, to show forth astronomical applications ofthe measuring elements of one to the other. But as Cain, as The Right One, holds the balanc—es, or beams of the balances, and there are two bala — nces viz., that of the equinoxes and that of the solstices he as di-vider, or center crossed lines, of the Adam-h, cuts this circle in its quadrants. It has been shown that the bal-ance opposes birth and death in the Mars form. The chief points were in Aries and Scorpio.n2703 ¶73

Now, there is a curious reflection. In Hebrew, the bal-ances are D^JtK'D, m-oznim, while the cars ofthe head are D*J?{<, oznijn, the precise same word, save the mem, D, pre-fixed. The type is clear enough, for the division of the head at the ears exhibits this very glyph of the Mars form of birth and death, as balanced in the equinoctial scales. To join the two symbols, as significant the one of the other, in the Hindu form, over the mouth ofthe vagina is drawn the scull and crossed bones, forming a kind of mon-n2703 ¶74

or crossed bones with this letter character, which is the letter p, kopf, or symbol of the half of the head back of the ears.n2703 ¶77

(4.) By considering the place of Scorpio, or D'lilah, in its evil aspect, as connected with its feminine quality, then it would come under the adjective form of evil, or J^l, ra ; and the opposite to this would be good, or y\r\, tobi, as designative of the two opposite qualities. Now, by the ancient Egyptian charts, the zodiac sign of Saggitarius, bordering on the wintersolstice, carried the name Tobi, or the Hebrew 'y\^,good; while the opposite sign of Gemini, bordering on the summer solstice, carried the name Pani,n2703 ¶78

or Hebrew Pant, ^J£3, /ace or aspect. The astronomical course of going from Tobi, by way of the vernal equinox, which, as opposed to Scorpio, was ^ood, to the summit, or Pam\ would be upward to the highest point, where the aspect or face of the year would change to its reverse de-From Panty the course of the seasons would be clining. declining, by way of Scorpio, or evil, toward the winter solstice. Now, taking what is said to be so as to the offer-ings, Cain being yehovak in this glyph, as a diameter value, or as diameter values, has nothing to do with him-self, but does in his masculine capacity shine (for the word is shine) favorably upon the circle of the year, or zodiac,n2703 ¶81

or life; or upon Eve, Venus-Naamah. At the summern2703 ¶82

solstice point is the intersection of the diameter line with the curve, at the highest reach of the sun. The sun here is vertical, just as at the noon point, and the standing still of the sun at the noon point was called *01, ddjui, by the Vulgate, and LXX, (Fuerst), and ddmi, ^01, is exactly the same word for the bloods ofAbel, which Cain shed. Here was the fiercest power of the sun looking down vertically along the solstice line to the intersection of the cross lines. At the same time, his aspects change orfall to his declining. This is actually described. It says : "And it burned upon Cain, and his aspect, *J£3, Pani, changed to descending." Now follows a description of where the sun is going to in descending, by a history of his travel. The words are :n2703 ¶83

"n2703 ¶84

If tho — u doest well (good, Tobi,y\\2i), there is exaltation, rising'' i. e., you will rise by way ofthe good side ; "but if thou doest not well (when you are descending). Sin (feminine nj^DIl, chattath) is a Lier-in-wait at the door or opening (or Sin is at the qjiadrant line, at the opening; for YT\, rbts, the Her in wait, is also the ^th side, as of a cube, or square, as well as a cotich to lie on.) Again: "Sin lieth as a copulatrix, at the door or opening; for rhts, is same with '^*T\, rba, and is not only to lien2703 ¶85

down, to cotich, but also to copulate. The word for open-ingisinthe same kindofconnection,for piinfi,piththachon, the opening of the mouth, and also H^nnD, fthach vah.n2703 ¶86

or "Jail is causer to bear, where El, or Jah, is conceived ofas the creative world-power." (Fuerst.) In other words, "At Scorpio you will find Naamah, as beautiful as wicked, who is, in this instance, the feminine part of your brother Abel." And now comes a great determinative, fastening this interpretation, as of marriage, or the consummation ofmarriage. In the i6th verse ofthe 3d chapter, as to the woman, it says : "And thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee," which was the accompaniment of sin, or transgression, or crossing, as a quality deter-mined upon to be the characteristic of woman for all time. Here (obscured underthe male-female form) it is said as to Hebel, as Sin, to the man Cain or Jehovah, "And her (his) desire shall be unto thee, and thou shalt rule overher (him)." This seems to mark out an unmistakable character of the glyph. But it is followed by the fact, for it was that they, being in the dividing of the field (rflC^"!!, B-sadeJi), Cain, the rod, rose up and violated his brother. It was marriage, and the bloods that were shed were the ^D1 [nH, chathan ddmi, or bloods of the bride chamber; an — d they were to be found as part of the h-adam-h, — or 3600n2703 ¶89

the bloods shed are 441, or^D"T, or by counterpart441 144, which simply shows that these bloods were, after all, but a means of division of the garden for astronomical and other purposes ; and as the sun standingstill is vertical, as coin-ciding with the one Cain division line, is by name ^D1, ddmi, or 441, so the bloods of Abel, shed on the other, and horizont—al division lin—e, are also *D"T, or441. Considering the 144 441 or 441 144 form of the Garden, and the exact fittingness of these applications, as 441 and 441, for ddmi, thus twice used, respectively, for solstice and equinox line, with the narrative form of explanation, and the inter-pretation of the glyph for this phase seems good.— (5.) But the Cain form of the Garden, 144 441, has been shown to be in the reduc — ed form, exactly significant ofthebaseofthe greatpyramid i. e., 144 inches is 12, say,n2703 ¶90

=n2703 ¶91

feet, and 12 6 + 6; therefore, there being 144 X 2 to then2703 ¶92

side of the Garden, this is, in this reduced form, four 6s, or 6 X 4= 24 ; and indeed the actual measure of the side of base of the pyramid is diameter to a circumference of 24. Now, since from the very first line of Genesis, through the Garden of Eden scene, there has been a continuous and systematic reproduction of the pyramid elements of con-struction, in another mode of working them, with also the very foundation principles and numbers on which it was constructed, to be found both in the Garden and in the flood glyph, it might well be expected that this 4th chapter, like-wise, would be really founded on the same method as the exactly correct one laying at the base of all other phases to be presented. And, indeed, the connecting link between the general construction of the exterior and of the interior work does seem to exhibit itself as obscurely hidden away. Cain and Abel are together in the dividing of thefield. The word is sddch, TT]^,field, and rather means adividing as ofa field. With this word — is th B e —prepositional prefix D, or B or the whole is mtJ^ D, sadeh, and for value ; we find the character values as they r—un, 345-2, which may designate the counterpart use of345 543. Now con-sider, however, that we havethe exact terms ofthe pyramid base in the Cain Garden form, as shown, and then that we have the Hebel circle in connection with it. Then here there are the two elements necessary for^puttingthe-pyra-mid ill a sphere. Now, refer to the geometrical problemn2703 ¶93

Here the radius value is given at 345, and the diameter value would be 345-2. But here in the word B-Sadch, T]1^*"2, yve have 345-2, this very value. Not only so, but adding the full values of the letters ofthe word Sadck, and we have t^, 300 -|- 1, 4 + H, 5 =309, which is j'usl the height of \.h\s^pyramid three, as shown. Not only so, but the 343, gives the value 343 of the descending passage-way. It is next to impossible to prevent the mind being convinced that these lines of similitude are intentional, where the various corroborative data are taken into bear-ing. But, really, in connection with these pyramid coin-cidences, there is one which seems absolutely to confinn or establish the relation. It will be noticed that " circular elements three" are connected with the problem of " /«-teriorgeometricalconstruction,''' agreeably to the diagram shown in § 74 {b). Referring to that diagram, it will be seen that the 309.397+ referred to is geometrically con-nected with that angle., which has been supposed to bethat of the roof of CampbclVs chainbcr, and of the queen's chainbcr, in the pyramid. That anglehas been shown to be 115*^ (see § 76). Now the name Cain, or pp, equals, tak-ing the character values as they run, 115, as has been so often referred to. Independently of this, in 345 we find the name Moses, UtTQ, =345, used as / am that I am, shown also to be 345, in the Pharaoh glyph. So, also,n2703 ¶101

which again presents strange features; for 543-^ 7 63, and 63-H 7 =9. But 7 and 9 are the characteristic values of VJ/, or <?/5, the tree of the Garden, the twining together of the two parts of which indicates the *D1 \T\T\, chatha^i dami^ or consummation ofmarriage, in its attendant blood-shedding. So, also, 7 X 7» or sevenfold, seems to look toward the sevenfold ot Cain, and the 70 and 7 fold of Lamech. 7 X 7^49, the perfect square, to which if one be added, the result is 50 ; and is the subject ofthe curious note referred to in Land Marks ofFreemasonry.

180 also, and 180 X 2 360, or a year period of an exact balance. To perfect the other, or 365-day year, another 5 days has to be added ; which heretofore we have found to be added to the lower half, or about the time of the 17th day ofthe 2d month, giving the preponderance to the lower half of the year of 5 days, instead of to the upper, as above. However, we see that bythe addition ofthe 5 days, the balance is disturbed.) Itwas, perhaps, this inequality, or preponderance of one side over the other of the year,n2703 ¶127

which went to make up the mark on Cain, who was an2703 ¶128

nodder, or wahbler^ or"wandererin foreign lands," having reference to the unequal motion of the earth with relation to the ecliptic in its nodding. There had to be a variation from a fixed standard of division, as of an even division, to complete the natural year in its period of days. This seems to be implied in Cain's expression, '•'•My sin is greater than Ican bear^^'' where the equivoque is perfect. The two salient words are sin and bear, related with each other by the comparative, i. e., greater. These twowords are very remarkable. They are : _/(?r my si—n, dvoni, or *^1i?, and ioxthaji Ican bear,min'sho, or NIJTJ D- A bet-ter translation is: "My descending is greater than myn2703 ¶129

"n2703 ¶130

ascending^'' or my left side is greater than my right side." The word pj7, dvon, has the mea—ning of sin, or of copulation, or of iheJeminitie quality found in various ways, as nothingness, hollow, as given already; and also the left s — ide by compa—rison. Rachel, in dying, brings forth Ben oni, or 01^ p, whom she calls '•' son of my guilt, or sorrow," as it is translated ; but while he is this kind ofa son, as related to her feminine quality ofwoman, he was designated in another way byJa—cob, who changes his name at once, or in contrast, to Ben faniin, or '-'•son of my right side," or of the ^^ light, clear region, the day side" as contrasted with sin, woman, dark, or left side. So, also, these words give the idea of male side, as con-trasted W\\hfemale side. In 4th Gen. 7, as already used,n2703 ¶131

"n2703 ¶132

are the words, if thou doest well, there is dignity, excel-lence, lifting up, exaltation," as in contrast with "5mn2703 ¶133

Appendix VII.n2703 ¶134

§ 96. 291n2703 ¶135

licth as a cofidairix at the door.'''' The contrast word of lifting tip, etc., is scath, nNJT, from NC^^, ndsd. Now, this word is to be found as applied to Reuben by his father, Jacob, where, by the translation, it is the excellency of dignity, and where the words JlNt^ *^^^ yeter seath, can be theprominence ofmy male part, for immediatelybefore is the sentence, ^''the begitining of my strength,''^ where for strength is, ''^^'^, dvoni, which is the samewith Rachel's *^1J/, dvoni, or femininity; and can be used as the begin-ning of my sorrow, in the sense of iny source of bcgct-tings^ This description is laying the foundation for the conclusion, which is, "unstable as water, thou shalt not excel." Why? "Thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it : he went up to my couch." Here is an instance of what Iraneeus says, as quoted above. Par-n2703 ¶136

"n2703 ¶137

aphrased, the intent is, Reuben, thou art my first born, my eldest ; who, by right of primogeniture, art the repre-sentation of myself: as such, thou art myself as to the place of begettings, and the mean of begetting, because thou dost represent me. . . . Yet wentest thou up," etc. But to this purpose, here scath and avoni are used as meni-brum virile and yoni. But further, when Jacob wrestles with the angel, he does so in the dark ; and as he caught the heel of his brother, so now Esau as the angel (see Nork, Worterbuch) wrestles with Jacob. The conclusion of the wrestling is that Jacob's thigh is dislocated, or is wasted, or shrunken, as to its sinew. This sinew which shrank is the same word with scath, JIJ^IT, from i^CO, for " KC^:, with suffix \S*:rj, then Nn::*, more frequently ilXC^." (Fuerst.) Now, while JVdsd, KC^J, is to raise up, to ex-tend upward, to rise high, ndshd, T\'^^, is to extend, stretch out, showing the sameness of the words as cognate : then there comes, as related, Hl^'J, nashd, the large hip sinew; and, in fact, the rabbinical reading of this is, according to Nork, '' spannaderfiir den phallus, 7X',!2n "IDJ^." (See underJacob.) So also, it could be taken as the assump-tion of the feminine quality in this wrestling. After this struggle in the dark, his name is changed from its femininen2703 ¶138

292 Appendix VII. § 96.n2703 ¶139

characterofJacob to Israel, altogether masculine, implying here the change from the dark tothe light partofthe year, the boundary line between which was the brook which he crossed, or Pani-El, or the division line at the solstice, pre-cisely as in the description ofCain, as going up from Tobi and descending from Pani, the same solstice line is desig-nated. Under "Jacob," Nork says : The cardinalor hinge point is "therefore called Pani-El (7X"*J£3), i. e., change or turning oi the {time) god, that place where Jacob wrestled with the demon, in whom the rabbins recocrnize Esau, from whom the name of the boundary riverJabbok (pD* V. pD5»{, to wrestle), and overcome him." Pani-El and . ^ ^ Jabbok are used interchangeably.n2703 ¶140

His going up was Scath, or male, and his descending r — was on the other side toward the characteristic of that side C \\z., /einale. The male was his right side, the female was his Ic/t side. Now from summer solstice to winter solstice — is 9n2703 ¶141

days, and 365 184 181 ; so that the female side was greater than the male side by 3 days. Or, considering the circle of the year as the form of a man-w^oman, his left side at the hip would be greater than his right side ; or, his sin side was greater than his male side. And this goes to show that the glyphs of Cain and Abel, and of Jacob and Esau, are to this extent alike, as having reference to then2703 ¶145

same phenomenon. Now as to the mark set on Cain.n2703 ¶146

§ 9^- 293n2703 ¶154

It was reported, rabbinically, that Kin (Cain) the Evil was the son of Eve by Samael the devil, who occupied the place of Adam.n2703 ¶155

So the reading of the line is : "Aild__thfi_LDriLcaused impotence to Cain, or weakness, or loss, on the left side, as a mark or token," etc. ; and this corresponded with the lameness of and also with the lameness ofVulcain. This impotencelias nothing to do with the left side being the largest, but with its female quality ; for it is ascribed by the rabbins to that of the virile power, which is extin-guished in the dark or female part of the year, which commences with the vintage,the sun in Scorpio, just where, by the Persian symbolization, the Bull suffers castration by the Scorpion, or just where the ^ ofJehovah conceals itself in HovaTT. ''"^"T(7t)==-As" one after another of the allegorical uses comes up, and- is explained, the aggregation all tending to one elucidation, serves to clear away the ambiguity and equiv-ocation from the remainder. It is seen how fitly the Egyptian mode of hieroglyphic expression fits to the He-brew use. As there was a common underlying use in numbers and geometrical forms, as in the Bible there is constant reference to a mysterious connection between the Hebrews and the Egyptians, so there seems to have been an interchangeable use of a common mode of expression. This accords with the statement of Seyffarth (Chro., p. 34) : " Now, we know that with Abram, 1150 years after the flood, 484 yeai"s after Phaleg, during whose life the Egypti—ans and all the other ancient nations emigrated from Babylonia i. e., 2781n2703 ¶156

But as Menes also came from Chaldea only 484 years before Abraham, the ancient Egyptian language 7nust be itztimately relatedto the HebrexvP And this agrees with what one so frequently finds as to the, by statement, passingoverofold Phenician radicalsinto the formation of hieratic words, to the Egyptians, Babylon-ians, even Hindus, Greeks, Latins, Germans, and espe-cially British, showing a common reservoir of knowledgen2703 ¶157

294 Appendix VII. § 96.n2703 ¶158

for all these ancient people. Already we have seen this to be the case as to Arcts, Mars, Tobi, and Pani, in especially hieroglyphic connections. The equivocation in the narrative scene of Cain and his brother Abel, as to then2703 ¶159

" "n2703 ¶160

slaying, as to cursed art thou," as to my sin isgreater than Ican bear," is perfect. But these are preceded by one just as great in the words of warning to Eve. The Garden scene was the picture of that sinful transgression culminating in the universal fall of man (or better, ofn2703 ¶161

woman), bringing upon an innocent progeny unnumberedn2703 ¶162

woes. In the very first exertion of his divine power, God, we are led to infer from the simple narrative, set a trap for his most simple-minded and ignorant son and daughter. There seems to be, on the face of this "as in Adam all fell," a sort oinon scquittir, as relates to the honorable and merciful character of the inventor. But, manifestly, and to speak seriously, as relates to humanity, the Garden was the scene of the creation of and first recognition by the sexes of their difference of organism ; also of their sexual introduction the one to the other. Now, the little deeper reading of the narrative turns the mask and shows the nat-ural and true intent, thus spoiling the equi—vocation. While Adam was in the hermaphro—dite condition i. e., before the woman was taken from him heor she is told as to the for-n2703 ¶163

"n2703 ¶164

bidden fruit, for in the day thou eatest of it, dying thou shalt die" (Gen. ii. 17.) illQ, muth, dying, mOD, Td-muth, thou shalt die. That this was said to her is clearly implied in verse 3 ofthe third chapter, wherethe words are the same. The following, as to the Egyptian, will lend further and singular reflections on this subject : '•'Mtith, orMouth,wastheEgyptian cognomen ofVenus (Eve, mother of all living), or tJie moon. Plutarch (Is. 374) hands it down that ' Isis was sometimes called Aluth, which word means mother. EitherMan, orAlaut^ means nurse, mother. Perhaps Muth is to be derived from j\Ian-tho^ materterra (Eve-Adam), which being the fact, Muth differs in nothing from Isis, queen of the earth (Issa, Hl^J^' tuotnan).' (Is., p. 372.) Isis, he says, is that part of nature wliich, as feminine, contains in herself, as (nutrix) nurse, all things to be born. 'Certainly the moon,*n2703 ¶165

Appendix VII.n2703 ¶166

speaking astronomically, ' chiefly exercises this function in Taurus, Venus being the house (in opposition to Mars,_^e«er-a^or, in Scorpio), because the sign is luna, ]),hypsoma. Since truly it may be taken from this passage of Plutarch, that Isis Metheur diflers from Isis JSIuth^ and that in the vocable Aliith^ the notion of bringingforth may be concealed, and since fruc-tification must take place, Sol beingjoined with Luna in Libra, it is not improbable that Muth first indeed signifies Venus in Libra hence Luna in Libra." (Beitrage zur Kenntniss, pars ; II, § 9, under Aluth.)n2703 ¶168

Now there is not a word of this description which is not fitted to the scope of the Garden of Eden glyph. It is part and parcel ofthe same learning that gives theEgyptian ARTS, as the Phenician and Hebrew ARTS, in the firstn2703 ¶169

Nown2703 ¶170

chapter of Genesis. consider the correlating terms, Sin with Intercourse, and the symbol of death being but that of birth, as they have relation to the place Scorpio, the opposite to, yet connected in the center, with Taurus-Venus, and the conclusion is irresistible, that in the words ''dying thou shalt die'' (that is, in Scorpio), we have byn2703 ¶171

"n2703 ¶172

correlative reading and meaning conceiving thou shalt become a mother'' And this agrees with the fact related ; for she did eat thefruit, she did not die, and she did be-come a another. This shows the double playupon the word Muth, nits, by help ofwhich the real intent is produced in the occult way, as intended. Sin, death, and woman are one in the glyph, and are correlatively connected with in-tercourse and birth. This derivation once stated, finds full confirmation on its own Phenician, or Hebrew soil.

Each —sign to be mentioned was a double sign, or male-female viz., it was Taurus-Eve, and Scorpio was Mars-Lupa, or Mars with the female wolf. So, as these signs were opposites of each other, yet met in the center, they were connected ; and so in fact it was, andin a double sense, the conception of the year was in Taurus, as the conception ofEve by Mars, her opposite, in Scorpio. The birth would be at the winter solstice, — or Christmas. On the cont—rary, by conception in Scorpio viz., of Lupa by Taurus birth would be in Leo. Scorpio was Chrestos in humiliation, while Leo was Christos in trium-ph. While Taurus-Eve fulfilled astronomical functions, Mars-Lupa fulfilled spiritual ones by type.n2703 ¶180

The workings out of this glyph of 4th Genesis help to the comprehension of the division of one character intothe forms of two persons ; as Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Abram and Isaac, Jacob and Esau, and so on. It helps, also, to take the horrid blemish offfrom the name of Cain, as a put-up job to destroy his character ; for, even without these showings, by the verytext, he was Jehovah. So the theological schools had betterbe alive to makingthe amend honorable, ifsuch a thing is possible, to the goodnameand fame of the God they worship.n2703 ¶181

He has been shown to be the 360 circle of the zodiac, the perfect and exact standard, by a squared division ; hence his name of Melchizadik.

This was a Hebrew use and recognition under the squared form ; they taking out the 3d quadrant, cube, ofwhich Leo and Libra, bordering on Cancer and Dan-Scorpio, were the corner controllers.

It has been repeatedly stated that the object ofthe great pyramid construction was to measure the heavens and the earth; therefore, its meas-uring containment would indicate all the substance of measure of the heavens and the earth, or agreeably to an-cient recognition, Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.

Now, bythe restoration of the encampment ofthe Israelites, as initiated by Moses, by the great scholar, FatherAthanasius Kircher, the Jesuit priest, the above is precisely, by Biblical record and traditionary sources, the method of laying off this en-campment. The four interior squares were devoted ton2703 ¶195

Th = e corner squares ofthe larger square are, Leo, and B Dan-Scorpio ; and it is seen that Cain pierces Abel at the intersection of the equinoctial with the solstice cross lines, referred to from Dan-Scorpio, on the celestial circle.

or back of the head, or life-death; and this was the mono-gram of Chr'estos, and theLabarmn,or standard ofConstan-tine, the Roman emperor. Abel has been shown to be Jesus, and Cain-Vulcain, or Mars, pierced him. Constan-tine was the Roman emperor, whosewarlike god was Mars, and a Roman soldier pierced Jesus on the cross ; so that the three unite under this characteristic. But the piercing of Abel was the consummation of his marriage with Cain, and this was proper under the form of Mars-Generator ; hence the double glyph, one ofMars-Generator and Mars-Destroyer in one ; significant, again, of the primal idea of the living cosmos, or of birth and death, as necessary to the continuation of the stream of life. Now, the cross is the emblem of the origin of measures, in the Jehovah form ofa straight-line one ofa denomination of20612, the perfect circumference; hence Cain was this as Jehovah, for the text says that he was Jehovah. But the attachment ofa man to this cross was that of 113 : 355 to 6561 : 5153 X 4— 20612, as shown. Now, over the head ofJesus cru-cified was placed the inscription, ofwhich the initial letters of the words have always been retained as symbolic, an — d handed down and used as a monogram ofJesus Chrestosn2703 ¶208

Attention is called to part of the 46th verse of the 27th chapte—r of Matthew, as follows : " Eli, Eli, Lama Sabach-thani? that is to say. My God, my God, wh}'^ hast thou forsaken me?" Of course, our versions are taken from the original Greek manuscripts (the reason why we have no original Hebrew manuscripts concerningthese occurrences being because the enigmas in Hebrew would betray them-selves on comparison with the sources of their derivation, the Old Testament). The G — reek manuscripts, without ex-ception, give these words asn2703 ¶219

The Scripture of these words says, " that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" as their proper translation. Here tlien are the words, beyond all dispute; and beyond all question, such is the interpreta-tion given of them by Scripture.

But even more, for while lama is why, or how, as a verbal it connects the idea ofto dazzle, or adverbially, it could run " how dazzlingly,'' and so on. To the unwary reader this interpretation is enforced and made to answer, as it were, to the fulfillment of a prophetic utterance, by a marginal reference to \}i\Q.first verse of the twenty-second Psalm, which reads :n2703 ¶226

There is but one, and there is one escape, and that is by having resort to the mystical in-tent. The Hebrew phrase was -purfoscd as it reads, and its antagonistic and false rendering was furfosed as it reads. It was on the same principle already mentioned, of the crossed bones and skull, as an emblem of death, being placed over the door of life and signifying birth, or of the intercontainment of two opposite principles in one, just as, the Savior was held to be man-woman. This mystically, was the idea intended, and interpreted thus, the passagen2703 ¶231

Above, the numerical values of the words have been given,= as connecting them-selves with the INRI, or 288X4 1152, of the inner square and outer square of the encampment, which at the same time is the base of the pyramid, by equivalence. But by these numbers, Eli is 113 (by placing the word in a circle) ; Lamah being 345, is by change of letters to suit the same values HC^D (in a circle), or Moses, while Sa-bachth is John, or the dove, or Holy Spirit, because (in a circle) it is 710 (or 355 X 2).

As closing these appendices, it is thought appropriate and instructive to insert some comments upon the ^^Studyn2703 ¶236

of the Bible," made by a clergyman of New York city,n2703 ¶237

and published in the Tribune. The difficulties surround-ing the text ofthe Bible, as received and interpreted, for a satisfactory comprehension of the contents of The Book, are ably and clearly set forth. Their setting forth seems to point to the existence of a key of interpretation not as yet known or made use of. That part of these comments which is thought pertinent to the present inquiry, is as fol-lowsn2703 ¶238

"The Church is to conserve the Scriptures, because they con-serve the Church. The Jewish Church made the mistake ofcon-serving the mere letter, and hence became corrupt. The Scrip-tures are not the letter, but the spirit beneath the letter, reached by the letter. The Church, then,rightlyconserves the Scriptures when, by diligent investigation through and beneath the letter, it binds the varied truth of God fast to its life by a thousand cords of knowledge and affection. With this view, then, of the studyn2703 ¶239

of the letter of Scripture as the necessary avenue to reach its di-vine ti'uths, and as thus following the injunction of the Savior in the text, we may notice three classes of difficulties which invite this study, and to the solution of which the careful and concen-trated search is essential.n2703 ¶240

" The first difficulty is the apparent want of harmony in the different portionsofthe sacred volume. This has been the favor-ite battle-ground of infidelity. Here it uses with effect its argu-jncntum ad speciem^ and makes its crafty conquests. The Eloh-istic and Jehovistic chapters of Genesis are irreconcilable ; the Pentateuch bears marks of a post-Mosaic origin in its allusions to the character and the death of the lawgiver the chronology ; of the historical books is hopelessly confused and false ; the two genealogies ofJesus are in directconflict ; all the accounts ofthe inscription on the ci'oss are discrepant; indeed, the four Gospels present a hundred points of difference and antagonism. James and Paul teach, as respects one another, contradictory doctrines, and the NewTestament presentsa system ofsalvation and eternal life wholly inconsistent with that of the Old Testament. These are the chief charges that are made whereprimafacie evidence is on the enemy's side, and, as with the majority of our race, priinafacie evidence is all that men care to have against any-thing they wish to avoid, these charges gain a common currency, and repeat themselves in every age. To meet these charges and their pernicious effects, a knowledge ofthe media through which the Divine Spirit communicated the truth is necessary. The mind musttake a range through 1,500years, fromMosestoJohn, and examine the variations of language and customs, the history and national economy of the Jewish people, as well as those of the great kingdoms of the Nile, the Tigris, and the Euphrates.n2703 ¶241

Wen2703 ¶242

must recognize the full idiosyncrasy of each sacred writer under the divine afflatus. It must explore the analogies in expe-rience, where different standpoints reveal apparent discrepancies. It must learn to weigh wordb as they are given us in the Semitic and Hellenic tongues, and detach them from the prejudice of a translation. It must find the special object that was before a writer's mind, and these special circumstances inwhich his utter-ances first took place. It must review the laws of authorship and editorship, and determine their influence upon the sacred books. It must become familiar with the great landmarks of chronology, and be able to establish the synchronisms of then2703 ¶243

304 Appendix VII. § 96.n2703 ¶244

Scripture narrative. Only in this way can scoffing infidelity be answered, and the pious mind be edified by a discovery of the perfect harmonies of the Divine Word.n2703 ¶245

" A second difficulty is akin to the first, and can be easily com-pared with it. It is the obscurity ofthe text. It does notappear to contradict itself, but its very meaning is a puzzle. The ordi-nary reader sees only a chaos, and either looks over the passage tillhe finds some plain words to satisfy him, or he performs the dangerous task ofguessing where he has no data, and so makes the Scripture to speak falsely. To overcome this difficulty we need all the appliances which are requisite in reading the alleged discrepancies of the Word, and these are to be used in an in-tenser degree. History and geography must be ransacked and arranged in the mind ; the oriental habits and styles of thought must be familiarized ; bigotry and narrowness must be aban-doned for a broad view of the race and a generous sympathy for human development everywhere. Especia—lly are the two lan-guages of Scripture to be carefully studied the sterility of He-brew, whose obscurity lies in its poverty, and the flexible and beautiful Greek, whose obscurity lies in its richness. The En-glish translation is one of the best ever made, perhaps the very best after the Hollandish, and this English translation is so en-deared to us by tenderest associationsthat it would not be wise to set it aside for another. If any change be made, our old ver-sion must remain the basis, and only such alterations efiected as truth and righteousness demand. Our holy religion does not require us to be blind moles, but to use our eyesight and discrim-inate everywherebetween the true and the false. The religion ofJesus courts the fullnessof light, and loathes the conservatism of conventionality, prejudice, and ignorance. With all theexcel-lence of our English version, it bears marks of the human im-perfection of the translators, as where they hide away the word ' bishops,' in Paul's address to the elders of Miletus, and call it ' overseers,' and where they call the Passover the heathenish name of 'Easter.' Besides such willful errors, they erred often through ignorance ofthe language they translated. The Hebrew and the Greek are farbetter understood to-day than in 1611.n2703 ¶246

" But I turnfrom the obscurity of tlTe text to a third difficulty which demands search, to wit, the apparent collisions between Scripture and science. The Godof the Scripturesis the God of nature, and the explanation of nature will only magnify the Scriptures. We know that, but we must show it to the world.n2703 ¶247

Appendix VII.n2703 ¶248

§ 96. 305n2703 ¶249

The scientific investigations of this age arc manifold and ener-getic, and it is for the Christian to rejoice in all the discoveries which throw litrht on God's vs^onderfulworks in the material uni-verse. It is for him to follow the physical philosopher, and to weigh hisstated conclusions,tojudge whetherthey arewarranted by his premises (andthis does not require a scientificknowledge, common sense will do it), and then bring the truth from God's Word, that these truths from the natural world may help explain the sacred texts,just as our historical orlinguistic factshavebeen used before. In this way the supposed antagonism between ge-ology and Genesis in the questions of cosmogony, the origin of the race, and the deluge, will be dissipated, and the light of the Word shine the more brightly. The lowest doubts ofthoughtful men will be respected and overcome, and the cause of truth promoted. It will not do to ignore these questions. If they at-tack God's Word,we must use them as meansofsearchingGod's Word. To yield to the bold assertions of science versus Scrip-ture is weakness while to shut them out from examination and ; dogmatically denounce them, is not only weakness but meanness. The only honest and manly way is to put science and Scripture together, and look at them as you do through telescopic glasses, till the twoviews blend in aharmonious unity, andproclaim theirn2703 ¶250

authorship.n2703 ¶252

" ' Search the Scriptures ' is the law of His Church and the talisman of His bounty. Let us, then, no longer please the devil and cramp our pietyby neglecting the Bible. Let us bring the strength ofour being to the careful and prayerful exploration of the fertility of revelation, where grow the flowers and the fruits of Paradise. Let us be zealous in the study of the letter, that we may reach the mind of the Spirit. Let us use the In-spired Word as the medial glass through whichwe may themore clearly see and know our Lord Jesus Christ."n2703 ¶253
