Genesis 9:7 … To be truly Fruitful<br />

(03/11/20<strong>17</strong>)<br />

“Why don‟t you just pair „em up in threes?” ~ Yogi Berra<br />

Interestingly enough, this is exactly what God (YHWH) would have done in<br />

the Beginning – had the Elohim not interfered and made their creation (including<br />

humanity – the creation in which we currently reside) incomplete. The evidence for<br />

this is seen in the way humanity is still primarily behaving like a virus on the<br />

planet – spreading rapidly, depleting all natural resources, warring with one<br />

another, and oppressing &/or murdering all other life-forms (which is exactly what<br />

the Elohim commanded humankind <strong>to</strong> do when they <strong>to</strong>ld us <strong>to</strong> “have dominion” over<br />

the Earth in Genesis 1:26 and then <strong>to</strong> “be fruitful & multiply” in Genesis 9:7, as the<br />

ancient Hebrew of these phrases more accurately reads “authoritatively possess” and<br />

“multiply in swarms” – see weyirdu Strong‟s #7287, along with urebu sirsu Strong‟s<br />

#7235 & #83<strong>17</strong> ), and the evidence for this is seen in the ancient Hebrew of the<br />

Bible itself … Concisely stated, in the first chapter of Genesis, we see the Elohim<br />

(translated incorrectly as “God” in most English Bibles) presiding over the first<br />

creation mentioned therein. And, seeing as how whole creations were always<br />

represented by the number three in Judaic thought at the time Genesis was<br />

written, it is no surprise that the first Creation happened in a series of three‟s –<br />

light coming from waters & darkness on Day 1, the waters above being separated<br />

from the waters below by the “dome” of the “sky” on Day 2, vegetation in<br />

general & plants yielding seeds & trees bearing fruits coming forth on Day 3, the<br />

Sun & the Moon and the stars shining forth on Day 4, larger marine animals &<br />

fish & birds coming in<strong>to</strong> being on Day 5, and finally wild animals &<br />

domesticated animals & all “ground crawlers” entering the scene on Day 6 (see<br />

Genesis 1:1-25) ... Note that none of these trinities were directly created by the<br />

Elohim, but rather were all allowed <strong>to</strong> come forth from something else, and<br />

everything that came forth was part of its own complete triad.<br />
