In particular, the creation story appears to have been written by a completely deaf person. The sea neither roars nor cries. Birds neither sing nor sing. Animals hear no sounds or screams. People are also not highlighted.
Furthermore, there are many indications that things are more important than how we perceive them intellectually.
Note: We all know that the creation story is not a recipe for creating the world. However, it is often treated and interpreted as such. This is so stupid. On the other hand, the creation story tells two things. 1. G ^ from all done. And, 2. Everything we see is orderly and harmonious. This agreement refers to the creator. Therefore, creation represents how it is used, not how it is made.
There is also G ^ d.
No one is closer to God than Moses. They were no closer than the Holy of Holies. There, the Torah records that God "said" twice. Our lead commentator Rashi describes it as "for him" which means himself. God spoke to himself while Moses listened.
So God did not speak directly to Moses. He himself, in the holy place of the world, be heard alone. Furthermore, God only spoke to a prophet or another creature who listened to him. So God ... in the story of creation speaks to Himself. The universe may have heard of it, but not much.
This way we can easily handle all double references. He told himself: it must be light. Then he created all kinds of light.
Bat
The Torah lists bats among birds. But bats are mammals.
The Jews who received the Torah knew this. But it doesn't divide animals biologically. "Bird" is a bad translation. Instead, a list of flying animals.
Sun and moon
The Torah describes the sun and the moon as [the same] great celestial bodies. Then he spoke of the big and the small. The rabbis explained that the moon went to the Creator and complained: you cannot have two captains on a ship. It's not right. G ^ da accepted it and reduced it to the coming of the moon. And it makes it even more important by making it glow at night, the most spiritual part of the day. (In fact, he didn't just make it small, he washed it and threw it, constantly changing it, reflecting the history of mankind.) And God required monthly animal sacrifices to make up for it. For mistakes.
Speaking of this world now, how can you believe that God made the moon small? God can do anything to make us believe anything, but we know that God has chosen not to offend nature.
The answer is that the Jews who accepted the Torah knew that the sun was many times larger than the moon. They know astronomy. But this is not the case. The Torah is not interested in what the object is, but in how it looks. as follows. During a total (total) solar eclipse, the Moon slowly glides past the Sun. Even though it covered most of the sun, there was still a little to discover. There is a thin ring of light around the moon, except for a small area where large rays of light still reach our eyes. In a few minutes it will cover that too. It looks like a ring with a large stone. This is called the amplification loop effect. But then it happened. When the moon begins to block these rays, a new light appears at the end of the image. The "rock" is now on the other side of the moon. This means that the moon cannot completely cover the sun. Now, if the moon were a little closer to earth, it would be. And this means that God made the moon smaller. It made it smaller by slightly widening its path around the earth.
black light
First G ^ da created all the different forms of light. The rabbis state in the Torah that darkness is also a creation, not just the absence of light. The prophet (Isaiah 45: 7) also said: He formed light (from things) and created darkness (from plans). No one can understand what this black light means (unlike artificial ultraviolet light) on a simple level. Unless someone knows the basics of building an eye, of course.
The eye is not primitive like an electric camera. The retina is part of the brain; The "nerve" of the eye is the brain path between the retina and the rest of the brain. Ten layers of neurons transmit light to the receptors.
The eye has two types of receptors. They can mean light (and dark, as we will soon see) in low light conditions and three different wavelengths (and their opposites) in high light conditions, which can be called mixing the three basic colors with the colors of visible light . Spectrum
He said that God created the light. No color yet. When the receptors in the eyes are exposed to this form of dim light, they show light and darkness - two types of signals. Immediately turn to a white page and you will see a black light shape! The same goes for color receptors. Look at the bright red light, then look at the white surface and you will see a green "fingerprint" of the light. The eyes create another kind of contrast. When light falls on the retina, the cells around the receptors are activated to "see" the light. They suppress the reception of this light. They form a black contour line around the light shape. This contrast makes it easier to see in the dark.
In the dark, the eye produces white light and black light. It's not about what's there, it's about what people see.
Heaven and Earth
The fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is often placed before the noun that refers to the object just mentioned. Usually translated as "from". However, the first verse of the Torah says that God created [the heavens and the earth], as it is commonly interpreted. But no one ever talks about the past. which
In reality, it is not about what is said, but about what we see. The fifth letter of the first verse means this or that. It is not about planet Earth and our universe. It simply says that God created all of these heavens (as we see them now) and all of the earth (as we see them today). Beautiful interpretations aren't always accurate. Generally they are wrong: more beautiful than translation.
It was evening and it was already dawn.
It was night and tomorrow: one day. This is how it is generally interpreted. It doesn't match (pardon the pun). Evening and morning not all day. They walked all night. But this too is an error of interpretation. You cannot see either in the morning or at night.
The word night which is literally translated is mixed. Light and dark mixed. English is twilight, twilight, twilight, sunset. This person can see. The word morning is translated according to the word cattle with light and dark spots. Dark and light will mix again. In English it is called alba, alba, alba, alba. It is up to you. For the next half day, they also work as pars-pro-toto. The sunrise and the next day, plus the following evening and night, make up a whole day.
Eva saw the tree.
When God sees something, one might say, he gives it more power. But the more Eva saw the forbidden tree, the more she wanted to eat it. We read that he saw that the tree was good to eat.
The Jews did the same.
Jewish law governs it. Animals that cannot be seen under the microscope are kosher, they are not there. Sunrise and sunset - and we know the earth rotates. We care about awareness.
However, honesty is the most important thing. The rabbis warn us to be honest. This means that we don't have to present ourselves differently from who we really are. Don't pretend to be a saint if your standards don't match (yet).
