Paul understood that the nature of original sin is that Adam treated God as a peer, as a man in his own image (by making his own rules), rather than as the Holy, or separate being that he is. The nature of the letter tov is that of a man who acknowledges the distinction. It is used for 'end' because it is the last letter of the alefbet, and it is also interpreted 'purpose'. At the end of a word it can make the word into an object.

The shin [[ש]] is formed with a single vav coming down, and two zayins returning which are connected at the base. This is a picture of the Messiah coming down (he is the distinction, since he faced our temptations but did not succumb), and the Messiah and his bride returning. They are connected, because like Adam, he obtained his bride through sleep/death.

These are the letters contained in [[בראשית]] that were not explained earlier. Each letter has it's metaphoric meaning based in the revelation of Christ. As they combine, they will explain more of the detailed meaning contained in the word [[בראשית]].
