Alignment of Gn01-01 and Gn02-04. The
alignment implies the importance of allowing
new personalities in the societal order and
not to base everything on the establishment
VERSE PHRASE1 PHRASE2
Gn01-01c DEITY created Heaven and earth
Gn02-04 DEITY GOD created earth and heaven
Differs *1 *2
COMMENTS
*1 There are two main names for God (The
Tetragrammaton and the Hebrew word Elohim)

Traditionally the Tetragrammaton is associated
with running the world by MERCY while the word
ELOHIM is associated with running the world by
JUSTICE

I would slightly modify these ideas as follows
- The word ELOHIM (which also means JUDGE)
refers to laws and personalities that ALREADY
exist (The establishment)

- The Tetragrammaton which comes from the root
TO EXIST (H-Y-H) refers to letting new
personalities come forward

Thus the nuances of Gn01-01 vs Gn02-04 are as
follows
- God sought to create the world/prophecy using
those people that already existed (The
establishment ELOHIM)

- But this did not work out--we always need
new people and new ideas to maintain the
world (TETRAGRAMMATON - GOD)

*2 The same phrase *10

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 Note the order reversal (HEAVEN-EARTH
vs EARTH-HEAVEN). A general Biblical principle
(Developed elsewhere with other lists) is that
LISTS of items with order reversals indicates
that all items in the list are equally important

See http://www.Rashiyomi.com/nu27-01b.htm
for a list of LISTS with and without order
reversal.

The symbolic interpretation of this equality
of heaven and earth is intriguing*11

*11 The following philosophic insight was taught
to me by the Rav--Rabbi Joseph Baer Soloveitchick
------------------------------------------------
Judaism places equal importance on the SPIRITUAL
(heaven) and PHYSICAL (earth). As a simple
example when we get up in the morning
- we say the ASHER YAZAR blessing when we go to
the bathroom

- we say the ELOHAI NESHAMA blessing when we
become aware of the restoration of our soul

Thus we thank God equally for our physical
(bathroom) and spiritual (awakening)
