VERSE: Gn01-05a

RULE: There are two ways to count.
(a) If you are counting a SEQUENCE you count 1st,2nd 3rd
(b) If you are counting a SET you count one,two, three

EXAMPLES
--------
 -------------------------------------------
 (1-4) EXAMPLES OF SEQUENCE---1st, 2nd 3rd
 -------------------------------------------
(1) Lv23-01:44 The months of the year (1st, 2nd, 3rd..)

(2) Nu07-12:83 The 12 offerings at the consecration of the
    Temple at the rate of 1 prince per day (1st 2nd 3rd)

(3) Gn32-17:19 The agents Jacob sent to Laban (1st 2nd 3rd...)

(4) 2Chr25-09:31 The sequence of units performing temple
        service(1st,2nd..)

 --------------------------------------
 (5-7) EXAMPLES OF SETS--one,two, three
 --------------------------------------
(5) The 4 stone insets in the Priestly Breastplate(one,two..)*1

(6) Gn02-11:14 The 4 rivers emanating from Eden (one two three )*1

(7) Gn01-01:35 The 7 units of creation*2



NOTES
-----
*1 The stones of the Breastplate and the rivers of Eden had no
SEQUENCE---they were just there---they were a set.

*2 In my paper on Gn01 I show that Gn01 speaks about the creation
of PROPHECY not the creation of the PHYSICAL WORLD. Hence there
were no "7 days" in which the world was created. Rather there
were 7 skill competencies needed for prophecy.

Hence the Bible does NOT count "1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day...."
Rather the Bible counts "day 1, day 2, ...." since what is presented
is a SET of 6 skill competencies (day 1, day 2,...) rather than
a sequence of 6 days (1st day, 2nd day, ...)
