I know Hebrew "echad" in Gen 2:24.
May I know what verse does your "echad" quoted at?
First, thanks for the inquiry, Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is
one LORD:"
101G is using the Mickelson's Enhanced Strong's Dictionaries of the Greek and Hebrew Testaments
ONE: H259 אֶחָד 'echad (ech-awd') adj.
1. (properly) united, i.e. one.
2. (as an ordinal) first.
[a numeral from H258]
KJV: a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any(-thing), apiece, a certain, (dai-)ly,
each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.
Root(s): H258
notice definition #2. an ordinal FIRST, now compare "beginning" in Genesis 1:1 and apply it to God designation in creation.
Genesis 1:1 "In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
Beginning:
H7225 רֵאשִׁית re'shiyth (ray-sheeth') n-f.
1. the first, in place, time, order or rank.
2. (specifically) a firstfruit.
[from the same as H7218]
KJV: beginning, chief(-est), first(-fruits, part, time), principal thing.
Root(s): H7218
That ORDER is him in the ECHAD of himself as the ORDINAL "FIRST" as LORD, Creator and Maker of all things Just as Isaiah 44:24 and John 1:3 clearly states. because in John 1:1 he in the ECHAD of himself, the Ordinal LAST, (in flesh and blood), Redeemed and Saved all that he, Created and Made in Genesis 1.
so as the ORDINAL "FIRST", Rank, "LORD", title, "Father" is the CREATOR and MAKER of all things.
That same Person in the ECHAD of himself, (the equal share, per Phil 2:6), the ORDINAL "LAST", Rank, "Lord", title, "Son" is the REDEEMER and SAVIOUR of ALL the THINGS that HE CREATED and MADE IN THE ....... "BEGINNING" . BINGO.
as the ECHAD of himself, he is the FIRST, (that's ORDINAL "FIRST"), in the ....... BEGINNING just as Genesis 1:1 clearly states, and is the LAST, (that's ORDINAL "LAST"), in the END, Just as Revelation 1:8 clearly states, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." or, Revelation 21:6 "And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." or Revelation 22:13 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
he JESUS, GOD, ONE PERSON in the ECHAD of HIMSELF, in Ordinal designations, which is, which was, and is to come, is the "First, and the Last". Amen
101G.
P.S. Thanks for the question.
