Two
From Sensus Plenior
When two things are closely associated, they represent one thing which has two aspects. Sometimes the one thing is hard to name.
One thing | heavenly/spirit 2-h | earthy/flesh 2-e | |
---|---|---|---|
creation | heaven | earth | Ge 1:1 |
nature of existence | without form/vain | void | Ge 1:2 |
nature of God | light/holiness/Day | dark/love/Night | Ge 1:3 |
relationship | evening/separation | morning/reconciliation | Ge 1:5 |
waters/word | waters above | waters below | Ge 1:6 |
waters below/ | seas/chosen | dry land/desolate | Ge 1:10 |
Repetition 2-r*
When the same phrase is used twice, it means that it is true in a fleshly and a spiritual aspect.
- Le 1:3 ¶ If his offering [be] a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
'he shall bring near him' is repeated. It is translated that 'he shall voluntarily bring near him'. Not only must he physically bring it, but he must willingly bring it.
'*' used as a reference when something is repeated twice.
