sacrament of bread and wine; see Sacrament (Lk 22:1420). Eve (76): Heb hwx (living; Gen 3:20); see Cain and Female. Expectation (122): Gk ΕΛΠΙΣ = Heb hwqt (tiqvah); not mere hoping or wishing, but rather anticipation— Clement of Alexandria, Stromata II.6: ‘Hope is the expectation of the possession of good; necessarily, then, is expectation founded on faith’; Isa 42:9, Jn 16:13! Female (18): Copt s6ime (C385a); here emphasizing the Sacred Spirit as our Mother, as in Isa 49:15 66:13, Lk 13:34; see Spirit and ‘The Maternal Spirit’. Hebrew (1 6 18 50): Heb rb( (eber: cross over, beyond, passer-by, transient; Th 42!); the lineage of Shem and especially of Abraham (Gen 10:21 14:13 16:15— thus Ishmael also was a Hebrew). Heir (98): Copt 2ro2 (C831b: seed, sperm); in light of Ph 18, and as with Gk ΣΠΕΡΜΑ in Ph 108, this term must here be a metaphor for ‘heir’ rather than meaning literally ‘progeny’. Image/Imagery (24 26 30 47 72 84 93 95 130 136 143): see Th Notes. Inequality (65): Copt at.twt (P063d C438a: not in agreement, not conjoined); see Conjoin and Th 61b! Ionian (20): Gk ΙΟΝΙΟΣ (violet) = Heb Nyy/Nwy (yayin/yavan: wine); Hebrew name for the Greeks (Gen 10:2-5, Dan 8:21); the coast of Asia Minor (now Turkey) was where Greeks met the ancient middle-eastern civilizations, acquiring the alphabet via the Semitic-speaking Phoenicians (ΦΟΙΝΙΞ: purple— Gk name for the Canaanites [Heb: ‘merchants’] of Gen 9:18-10:19 12:5-7, IKi 5, Ezek 27-28; cp. Mt 15:22 with Mk 7:26; according to Herodotus' Histories I, Thales of Miletus— the first ‘pre-Socratic’— was a Phoenician/Canaanite). Jerusalem (82): Heb Myl#wry (foundations/city of peace); note that Heb hry (yarah: directive) is the root of both ‘Jeru-’ and ‘Torah’. Jordan (88): Heb Ndry (descender); the river of the Holy Land, in the northern extension of Africa's Great Rift Valley; NB apparently the River Pishon of Gen 2:11(!); thus, could the Flood have swept down thru the Jordan Rift Valley?!— topologically more intelligible, except for the puzzling Ararat (which, however, means merely ‘sacred/high land’); this would of course place all of Gen 2-9 in the Jordan Valley, with Gen 10 the first human (i.e. linguistic?!) dispersion, and Gen 11 88
thereafter in Mesopotamia. Joseph the Craftsman (98): Joseph = Heb Pswy (addition); craftsman = Copt 6am4e (C546b), Gk ΤΕΚΤΩΝ (Mt 13:55); husband of the Virgin Mariam; notably silent thruout the Gospels. Levi (58): Heb ywl (join, convert); the OT patriarch of the priestly line; Ph 58 could thus be interpreted: ‘The Lord went into the dyeworks of conversion [or, of the priesthood]....’ (Isa 14:1, Zech 2:11). Magdalene (36 59): Heb ldgm (migdal: watchtower) Pro 18:10, Isa 5:1-2, Mic 4:8, Lk 8:2, Jn 20:1-18; it should be noted that ΑΠΤΩ in Jn 20:17 means not merely ‘touch, cling to’ but also ‘kindle, ignite’ (as in Lk 8:16) and thus ‘caress’, as also in Lk 7:39. Mate (30 36 64 65 80 86 87 89 119 120 131 134 142): Copt 6wtr (C726b) = Gk ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑ (common-being); sexual union; cp. Israelite ‘concubinage’, non-marital sexual union (in which any offspring do not inherit), as Abraham with Hagar and Ketura (Gen 16 & 25:1-6) or King David (IISam 15:16)— forbidden neither by the Torah nor by Christ (Ex 20:14, Lev 20:10, Mt 5:28 refer only to the wife of another man, not to an unmarried woman or a widow); see Companion, Prostitution, Sacrament and Unite. Measurement (51): Heb lq#-m (m-shql: of-shekel/weighing) is apparently here being punned with xy#m (mashiakh: Messiah). Messiah (20): Heb xy#m (mashiakh); see Anointed. Messianic (6): Heb ‘Messiah’ with Gk suffix -ΙΚΟΣ (thus ‘follower of the Messiah’); see Christic. Mirrored (65 93): Gk ΕΙΚΟΝΙΚΟΣ: imaged; see Image in Th Notes. Mode (122): Gk ΕΙΔΟΣ; the term for the Platonic forms (often as ΙΔΕΑ), as well as the Aristotelian species; note also the evident allusion to the four primary elements of ancient physics: earth, water, air and fire (recast in modern formulation as the four basic states of matter: solid, liquid, gas and plasma). Mystery (21 64 73 85 89 104 131 136 142): Gk ΜΥΣΤΗΡΙΟΝ; secret or sacrament, a term from the ancient Mediterranean mystery religions; see Sacrament, Mk 4:11, Th 62, Tr 5 45. Nationalist (4): Heb ywg (goy: corpse!) = Gk ΕΘΝΙΚΟΣ; non-Israelite, pagan, 89
