With different pointing khawdawsh: new, fresh.<br />

As a verb: kiddeysh: to renew, restore, do afresh,<br />

to produce something new. Now is the only time<br />

when anything can be new. Only at the end of a<br />

cycle may a hitherto unheard of things exist.<br />

Also to promulgate a new law; establish a new<br />

reputation (describes the work undertaking by a<br />

Rosicrucian fraternity).<br />

Jacob. Deuteronomy 33:28: "Israel then shall<br />

dwell in safety alone: the foundation of Jacob<br />

shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his<br />

heavens shall drop down dew." These words<br />

occur in the blessing of Moses, a poem which<br />

constitutes the entire chapter cited above. They<br />

may also be translated, "The eye of Jacob."<br />

Jacob means: "to supplant". It is always the new<br />

that supplants the old. Thus in the Biblical story,<br />

Jacob, the younger brother, supplants Esau. And<br />

Jacob himself gives a blessing to the younger of<br />

Joseph's two sons, Ephraim. Jacob's name was<br />

changed to "Israel" or "He shall rule as God."<br />

Wherever Jacob is mentioned in the Old<br />

Testament or in the new, inner esoteric meaning<br />

has always to do with the idea of supplanting the<br />

old by the new, the familiar by some novelty<br />

hitherto unheard of. "Behold, I make all things<br />

new" is the secret of those who have learned to<br />

rule as God. see 100, 194,246,636, 182.<br />

"Ifllt) to give, to make a present. As a noun: a<br />

gift, bribe. This word ties in with the basic<br />

meanings of the 9 of Cups, and the Archangel of<br />

the West, as the card of wish fulfillment. The<br />

Elohim which are the active Divine Powers of<br />

creation described in the first chapter of Genesis<br />

are really powers of man. Man, when he attunes<br />

himself through the automatic consciousness to<br />

the Higher Creative Powers, is able to form the<br />

darkness by the WORD and bring forth the light,<br />

which is good. It is also related with the basic<br />

meaning of the 4th Path of Chesed (Intelligence<br />

of the Desirous Quest), as its source, and to<br />

Jupiter, as expressing its quality, has an obvious<br />

correspondence to the idea of divine providence,<br />

its spiritual and its temporal gifts, and the<br />

reconciliation brought about by man's intelligent<br />

use of these gifts. These gifts are redemptive,<br />

fieeing from punishment. Hence, the 2 1 st path is<br />

Proverbs 17:8: "A gift is as a precious stone in<br />

the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it<br />

turns, it prospers. "<br />

'am captivity; concretely, captives, prisoners. In<br />

Jeremiah 30: 16: "Therefore, all who devour you<br />

shall be devoured; and al your enemies, every<br />

one of them, shall go into captivity; and those<br />

who trample over you shall be trampled over,<br />

and all those who plunder you I will give for<br />

prey." Also in Lamentations 1 :5: "Her oppressors<br />

have become her rulers, and her adversaries have<br />

made an end of her [Zion]; for the Lord has<br />

afflicted her for the multitude of her sins; her<br />

children are gone into captivity before the<br />

oppressor." Captive in Isaiah 10:4: "So shall the<br />

king of Assyria lead away the Egyptian<br />

prisoners, and the Ethiopians captive, young and<br />

old, naked and barefoot, with there buttocks<br />

uncovered, to the shame of Egypt." And in Amos<br />

4: 10: "I have sent among you the pestilence after<br />

the manner of Egypt; I slew your young men<br />

with the sword, together with you captive<br />

horses ..." see 3 17 (;Pa=IPI').<br />

M crashing, loud noise. Job 30:14: "They<br />

came upon me as a wide breaking of waters;<br />

amidst a loud noise they rolled themselves<br />

along." Hence storm, tempest in Proverbs 1:27:
