verbum jiat (Lt). the word "let there be", the
divine creative word in [Genesis I :3] "And
Elohim said 'let there be light', and there was
light." Jacob Boehme: "As the eternal nature of
the essence of external nature renews itself, and
abandons that which it brought out of the eternal
will into the outward by verbum fiat at creation;
so may man also renew that which he makes. If
he abandon the earthly, then he may renew that
which he has progenerated from the eternal; but
if it be not renewed, it remains in the source."

'Jb Beni Adam. Sons of Adam; sons of
Humanity. In Psalm 90:3: "Thou turns man to
175
destruction, and says 'return you sons of Adam."'
see 713, 1200, 1308.
The Beni Adam are identical with the
'fa (148). Enosh, ItttiN (mankind, 357), is the
state of the Sons of God when they suppose
themselves to be merely the Sons of Adam, and
the return is to the original Angelic condition. In
this is the deepest mystery of Saturn closely
related to the secret of Mars. The Sons of Adam
have forgotten that they are truly Sons of God.
For them there is no rest, and in diverse ways
they seek relief from the intolerable tension that
is produced by the sense of separateness. Only a
few members of the human race realize their true
status, and live accordingly. The rest are turned
to destruction until utter collapse of their
supposed autonomy sends them back. Now
these deluded ones see death everywhere, are
taught survival perhaps, but do not usually really
believe it. Thus they seek vicarious immortality
in posterity, and surrender themselves to death.
They who have come into the peace of the
Sabbath are free from this delusion, and know
better than to prolong the chain of birth and
death. See 31.
P X you ~ angels of his, angles-of-him. In
Psalm 103:20: "Praise the Lord, you his angels
[messengers], you mighty ones who do his
bidding, who obey his word." see 91, 158.
'~ft?f Gilead, hill of testimony. In Genesis
3 1 :2 1 : "So he [Jacob] his face toward the Mount
Gilead." see 1 17, Abdiel; 221 (Jair), 3 17.
It'!# "Onan", probably a clan, of Canaanite
origin, that lost its identity in the amalgamation
of clans incidental to the growth of the tribe of
Judah (Sun, Leo). In Genesis 38:4: "She (Shua)
conceived again and gave birth to a son and
named him Onan." And in Genesis 38:9: "But
Onan knew that the offspring would not be his;
so whenever he lay with his brothers wife, he
spilled his seed on the ground to keep from
producing offspring for his brother." Note the
power of Spirit (Aleph) linked (Vav) to
reproductive force (Nun) in perpetual cycles of
its own use, and abuse (Nun). see 757.
The Zohar [II:186B, 187B, 188Al has these
comments: "... while the holy soul is still within
man's body, it is incumbent of him to multiply
the image of the king in the world. There is
herein an esoteric thought involved, namely that
