    HEBREW BASED IMAGINING

    - Hebrew is a sacral language developed from Aramaic

    - The logical relations and the associations evolve fromwords

    root semantics are a tool for commenting the

    meaning

    - The context of the uses of a word is a tool for commentingits meanings

    - The richness of the Hebrew root semantics (the ambiguity)

    makes it close to the visual imagining

    MONY ALMALECH. XVI. EFSS 2010 Imagining & Understanding

    -

    The imagining based on Hebrew

    root semantics is much

    more logical than visual

    BASIC FEATURES OF THE HEBREW BASED IMAGINING

    MONY ALMALECH. XVI.

    EFSS 2010 Imagining & Understanding

    Hebrew based imagining is a language kind of

    imagining

    Hebrew based imagining is much more logical

    one

    The sacral motivation of the richness of the root

    semantics stresses on the logic kind of

    imagining but it has something to do withmathematics and visual kind of imagining

    HEBREW BASED IMAGINING & UNDERSTANDING

    1.The root semanticsThe richness of the Hebrew root semantics (the ambiguity) serves

    the

    Judaic doctrine that the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which shine

    in the appropriate Color, are the first thing created by God. That is

    why word formative facts in Hebrew and their spelling bear thefeature of divine relations, traces and instructions for their

    interpretation by man.

    Every Hebrew root marks a cosmological

    and creative territory given by God Godcreated the universe and the world of manfrom the letters, which shone in the propercolors.

    CULTURE FACTORS

    Linen asLinen as the robe of the lightthe robe of the light

    In the ancient rituals the linen

    clothes are known as the robe oflight.The strategy to

    equip

    with (in monotheism, in

    polytheism, and in folklore rituals of transition)the robe of light is motivated of anaccepting the white cloth as an necessaryand sufficient armor at least because ofthree reasons:

    1. Wearing white/linen clothes is the right way to presentthe initiated person to the gods/God. Piece of whitecloth is the most suitable votive gift to the gods.

    2. By the robe of light

    one pretends

    to have purity

    physical and spiritual the purity of one free fromcontamination with the body that is moral purity.3. The white cloth has protecting powers against thekilling strength of Gods energy but also against badpowers or the power of death (wedding, funeral), and

    one takes sides against Death and darkness.

    ROOT AND CONTEXT SEMANTICS

    The naming of the robe of the light with the word [e]

    gets the linen

    cloth of the Levites in the paradigm six-white marble-linen, becausethese are the meanings of the word [e] in Biblical Hebrew.

    The word [e] means six in Modern and in Biblical Hebrew. The Biblicalmeanings are six, fine linen

    and marble. Fine linen

    and marble are

    used my Mosses.

    Mosses includes the Egyptian loaned word [e] for fine linen into theHebrew meaning of the same word for six. In such way he gives a nameby proposition making the string six-white marble-linen.

    CONCLUSIONS

    In the times of Mosses and the Taberanacle the place of finelinen is occupied by the word [e]. In 2 Chronicles 3:13-14[butz] is at the place of [e] and become a sign for sacralplace but also for wealth and creative abilities. Thus at the

    Temple of Solomon the Seal of Mosses is replaced. What isfor sure is that the relation 4

    6 carried by the lexeme [e]

    is not here because the word for fine lien is [butz] now.MONY ALMALECH. XVI. EFSS 2010 Imagining & Understanding

    For the understanding of the text the spelling and theoral features are crucial.Thus from the widened semantics of the linen type- type-

    [e] becomes clear that Mosses names, covers, andmay be, governs by the white robe of light the cubeness,the squareness and the algebra and aritmetic relationsbetween the numbers 6 and 4.Solomon made a different choice with the help of thelinen type-[butz] to name, to cover, and may be togovern by the white robe of light the oval shapes

    (mysticaly and realisticaly), the roundness bothconnected to the different forms of life, with differentkinds of food, as well as with the careness and the

    ability to give life.

    Essential in this white naming of the forms of theUniverse and the Earth (cubeness and roundness) isthat for the Tabernacle Mosses use only the white,marble, six-multiple cubeness of the linen type-[e].The white roundness of the linen type-[butz]

    Mosses

    leaves to other times, occasions, and finally toother persons.Thus by linguistic analysis I can enter the inner

    sides of the text of the Old Testament, avoiding any

    mystical meditations.

    May be the material forms of cubeness and roundness areunderstood as elements of the darkness and blackness.By specific naming and spelling Mosses had givenmeaning to the world and to the universe from the side ofthe whitness. Thus Mosses works on a declaration and

    obligation, fixed by the laws, for every initiated Jew to look

    at, to cover, and to deal with the world from the side of therobe of the light but not from the side of the robe of thedarkness.By the changes he made King Solomon pretends that

    the

    legacy of Mosses is already a fact and the monotheisticculture needs the next step to turn the roundness to theside of the light.
