TheOne writes:
"And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters" (Beresheet 1:6)
Had you read the next verse, you might have understood the question.
quote:
"And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament." (verse 7)
Three ... forces permeate all existence. ... Right, Left and Central Columns.
What does this have to do with
upper and
lower waters?
The Firmament whose resistance produces illumination.
So, the Firmament reflects light. This was the high point of your argument - You actually mentioned the word.
Gehenom is commonly refered to as Hell.
Nice try at redirection.
How is that for a "Little Box"?
Your "argument" may sound powerful as it echoes within that confined space, but it sounds like gibberish out here.
... you still in your little box trying to prove that Shabbat was used for military training ...?
Now that you mention it - Are you going to address the evidences I listed for your consideration? The box I was in did not permit such questions. Does yours?
Since you apparently do not want to discuss the firmament's function in separating the waters, I offer the following commentary gleaned from Jewish literature (to which you may, perhaps, have access).
quote:
Gen. Rab. 17. God allotted a separate place to each body of Waters. Yet at the horizon they are parted by no more than the breadth of three narrow fingers. {Genesis Rabba, a midrash on the Book of Genesis, compiled in the fifth century in Palestine. Quoted by page of the critical edition of J. Theodor and Ch. Albeck, Berlin, 1912-27, 2 vols.} HEBREW MYTH, Graves and Patai, pg. 41
Can you hear me now?
