VERSE: Gn06-02a
RULE: The phrase "THE GOD" (HA E LO HIM in Hebrew) refers
to JUDICIAL PROCESS whether by God or someone else.
EXAMPLES
--------
---------------------------------------------------------
In the following verses the interpretation of HA ELO HIM
as referring to Judicial process (as indicated by the
capped word) is clear and obvious
----------------------------------------------------------
VERSE TEXT
======== ===============================
(1) Ex21-06a He should bring him to COURT
(2) Gn06-02a JUDGES students snatched girls JUDGES
(3) Ex18-19b You be middleman for receipt of LAW
---------------------------------------------------------
In the following verses the interpretation of HA ELO HIM
as referring to JUDICIAL PROCESS is more conjectural
The right side of the LIST explains the rational
----------------------------------------------------------
VERSE TEXT How HA ELO HIM=JUDGE
======== =============================== =========================
(4)Gn44-16a The ELO-HIM Found our sin*2 We DESERVED this
(5)Ex03-01b The mountain of HAELOKIM Torah received on Sinai
(6)Ex18-11b God is more Just than other gods Judged Egypt with drowning*4
(7)Gn06-09c Noach WALKED WITH "THE JUDGE" Prepared ark for flood*1
(8)Gn35-07b God(s) revealed Himself to Jacob Plural=Judged by Court*3
NOTES
------
*1 In other words Noach acknowledged Gods justice but did
not rebuke his generation. By contrast, Abraham CALLED
people to God. See {LIST2}
*2 The examples in the lower part of the list are all examples
where it is not necessary that
>HA ELO HIM = Judicial Process
For example the verse
>HA ELO HIM found our sin
could mean
>The KING (JOSEPH) found our sin
Similarly the phrase
>MOUNTAIN OF GOD
could easily refer to
>an awe inspiring mountain
Thus the fact that we ALREADY KNOW that
>HA ELO HIM = Judicial process
leads us to interpret these other verses a certain way
*3 Jacob had "stolen" the blessing from his brother Esauv
He had to work for a crooked fatherinlaw for 20 years
He has now escaped from both Esauv and his fatherinlaw
Thus he has so to speak been acquited by the Judge
*4 The point here is that God punished Egypt (drowned at red
sea) with the same methods they tortured the Jews(the
Egyptians drowned Jewish babies)
