  1. [Genesis 4:1-26 KJV*]

  1. 1 And the Adam knew[h3045] his wife Eve of Aleph/Tav; and she conceived[h2029], and bare Cain[w][h7014] of Aleph/Tav, and she said, [h7069]I have purchased man YAHUAH of Aleph/Tav.
  2. 2 And she again bare his brother of Aleph/Tav, Abel[x][h1893] of Aleph/Tav. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground[h127][אדמה].
  3. 3 And it came to pass [h7093]from the end [h3117]of days, that Cain [h935]caused to come of the fruit[h6529] of the ground[h127] an offering[h4503] unto YAHUAH.
  4. 4 And Abel, he also[h1571] [h935]caused to come [h1062]from the birthright[y][z] of his flock[h6629] [h2459]and of their[aa] fat. And YAHUAH had respect[h8159] unto Abel and to his offering[h4503]:
  5. 5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain [h2734]burned[ab] [h3966]exceedingly, and his [h6440]face fell[h5307].
  6. 6 And YAHUAH said unto Cain, Why are you [h2734]burned? and why is your [h6440]face fallen?
  7. 7 If you do well, shall you not[h7613]be elevated? and if you do not well, sin lies down onto the door, and unto yours his desire, but you of Aleph/Tav{/Hey} [h4910]must rule over him.
  8. 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
  9. 9 And YAHUAH said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?
  10. 10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
  11. 11 And now [art] you of Aleph/Tav cursed from [h127]the ground, which hath opened her mouth of Aleph/Tav [h3947]to take of your brother's blood of Aleph/Tav from your hand;
  12. 12 When [h5647]you serve the ground of Aleph/Tav, she shall not henceforth give her strength to you; [h5128]wandering and [h5110]beamoning you shall be on earth.
  13. 13 And Cain said unto YAHUAH, My punishment [is] greater than I can bear.
  14. 14 Behold, you have driven me of Aleph Tav out this day from the face of the earth; and from your face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, anyone that findeth me shall slay me.
  15. 15 And YAHUAH said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, [h5358]it shall be avenged sevenfold[h7659]. And YAHUAH put onto Cain an Aleph and {Vav} Tav, lest any finding him of Aleph/Tav{/Vav} [h5221]should cause him to be killed.
  16. 16 And Cain went out from the face of YAHUAH, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
  17. 17 And Cain knew his wife of Aleph/Tav; and she conceived[h2029], and bare[h3205] Enoch[ac] of Aleph/Tav and there was a city built, and [h7121]he called the city's name like the name of his son, Enoch.
  18. 18 And unto Enoch was born[h3205] Irad of Aleph/Tav: and Irad begat[h3205] Mehujael of Aleph/Tav: and Mehujael begat[h3205] Methusael of Aleph/Tav: and Methusael begat[h3205] Lamech of Aleph/Tav.
  19. 19 And Lamech took unto him two women: the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
  20. 20 And Adah bare Jabal of Aleph/Tav: he was the father of tent dwelling and cattle.
  21. 21 And his brother's name Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
  22. 22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain of Aleph/Tav, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain Naamah.
  23. 23 And Lamech said unto his women, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; you women of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man for my wounding, and a child for my bruise.
  24. 24 If Cain shall be avenged[h5358] sevenfold, then Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
  25. 25 And Adam knew again his wife of Aleph/Tav and she bare a son, [h7121]and she called his name of Aleph/Tav: Seth[ad]: For Alahym hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
  26. And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; [h7121]and he called his name of Aleph/Tav: Enos. [h227]Then began [h2490]the desecrated [h7121]to call YAHUAH by name.

Questions

  1. Vengeance

  1. 15 And YAHUAH said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, [h5358]it shall be avenged sevenfold[h7659]. And YAHUAH put onto Cain an Aleph and {Vav} Tav, lest any finding him of Aleph/Tav{/Vav} [h5221]should cause him to be killed.
  2. 24 If Cain shall be avenged[h5358] sevenfold, then Lamech seventy and sevenfold
  3. [Isaiah 63:1-6 KJV] 1 Who [is] this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this [that is] glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2 Wherefore [art thou] red in yours apparel, and your garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people [there was] none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. 4 For the day of vengeance[h5359] [is] in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. 5 And I looked, and [there was] none to help; and I wondered that [there was] none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. 6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
  4. [Romans 12:19-21 KJV] 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith YAHUAH. 20 Therefore if yours enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shall heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
  5. [Nahum 1:2 KJV] 2 God [is] jealous, and YAHUAH revengeth;[H5358] YAHUAH revengeth,[H5358] and [is] furious; YAHUAH will take vengeance[H5358] on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies.

  1. Sevenfold

  1. [Psalm 12:6 KJV] 6 The words of YAHUAH [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.[H7659]
  2. [Isaiah 30:25-33 KJV] 25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers [and] streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that YAHUAH bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. 27 Behold, the name of YAHUAH cometh from far, burning [with] his anger, and the burden [thereof is] heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire: 28 And his breath[h7307]spirit, as an overflowing river, shall divide the neck, to sift the nations in the sieve of vanity: and a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing to err.[ae][af] 29 You shall have a song, as in the night [when] a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of YAHUAH, to the mighty One of Israel. 30 And YAHUAH shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and [with] the flame of a devouring fire, [with] scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. 31 For through the voice of YAHUAH shall the Assyrian be beaten down, smote with a rod. 32 And every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which YAHUAH shall lay upon him, shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it. 33 For Tophet [is] ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made [it] deep [and] large: the pile thereof [is] fire and much wood; the breath of YAHUAH, like a river of brimstone, doth burn it.
  3. [Proverbs 6:23-35 KJV] 23 For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life: 24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25 Lust not after her beauty in yours heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26 For by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 30 [Men] do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 31 But [if] he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 32 [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul. 33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy [is] the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
  4. [Psalm 79:5-13 KJV] 5 How long, LORD? will thou be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire? 6 Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon your name. 7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. 8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let your tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. 9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for your name's sake. 10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] the revenging of the blood of your servants [which is] shed. 11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of your power preserve thou those that are appointed to die; 12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. 13 So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth your praise to all generations.
  5. [Daniel 3:14-30 KJV] 14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, [Is it] true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not you serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? 15 Now if you be ready that at what time you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, you fall down and worship the image which I have made; [well]: but if you worship not, you shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who [is] that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we [are] not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17 If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver [us] out of yours hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which thou have set up. 19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: [therefore] he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. 20 And he commanded the most mighty men that [were] in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, [and] to cast [them] into the burning fiery furnace. 21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their [other] garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in havee, [and] spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. 25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace[ag], [and] spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the most high God, come forth[ah], and come [hither]. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. 27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. 28 [Then] Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed [be] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. 29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. 30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.

  1. Consuming Fire

  1. [Deuteronomy 4:24 KJV] 24 For YAHUAH your God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a jealous God.
  2. [Deuteronomy 9:3-5 KJV] 3 Understand therefore this day, that YAHUAH your God [is] he which goeth over before thee; [as] a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before your face: so shall thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as YAHUAH hath said unto thee. 4 Speak not thou in yours heart, after that YAHUAH your God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness YAHUAH hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations YAHUAH doth drive them out from before thee. 5 Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of yours heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations YAHUAH your God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which YAHUAH sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
  3. [Hebrews 12:18-29 KJV] 18 For you are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: 21 And so terrible was the sight, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) 22 But you are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Yahusha the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than Abel. 25 See that you refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more we, if we turn away from him that from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God [is] a consuming fire.

  13. [Jeremiah 6:28-30 KJV] 28 They [are] all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: [they are] brass and iron; they [are] all corrupters. 29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder[H6884] melteth[H6884] in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away 30 Reprobate silver shall [men] call them, because YAHUAH hath rejected them.
  14. [Daniel 12:10 KJV] 10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried;[H6884] but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

  16. [Malachi 3:2-3 KJV] 2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he [is] like a refiner's[H6884] fire, and like fullers' soap: 3 And he shall sit [as] a refiner[H6884] and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto YAHUAH an offering in righteousness.

  1. New Name

  1. [Romans 8:29-30 KJV] 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
  2. [John 3:3-7 KJV] 3 Yahusha answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Yahusha answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, You must be born again.
  3. [Exodus 33:12-23 KJV] 12 And Moses said unto YAHUAH, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou have not let me know whom thou will send with me. Yet thou have said, I know thee by name[h8034], and thou have also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in your sight, shew me now your way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in your sight: and consider that this nation [is] your people. 14 And he said, My presence shall go [with thee], and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If your presence go not [with me], carry us not up hence. 16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and your people have found grace in your sight? [is it] not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and your people, from all the people that [are] upon the face of the earth. 17 And YAHUAH said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou have spoken: for thou have found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me your glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass upon your face, and I will proclaim[h7121] the name of YAHUAH to your face; and will be gracious to whom of Aleph Tav I will be gracious, and will shew mercy to whom of Aleph Tav I will shew mercy. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face of Aleph Tav: for none of the Adam shall see me, and live. 21 And YAHUAH said, Behold, [there is] a place by me, and thou shall stand upon a rock: 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: 23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shall see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
  1. [Proverbs 27:19 KJV] 19 As in water face to face, so the heart of man to man.
  2. [1 Corinthians 15:50-54 KJV] 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
  3. [Genesis 32:24-30 KJV] 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27 And he said unto him, What [is] your name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have thou power with God and with men, and have prevailed. 29 And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, your name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. 30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
  4. [1 John 3:1-3 KJV] 1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
  1. [Exodus 6:1-8 KJV] 1 Then YAHUAH said unto Moses, Now shall thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. 2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I [am] YAHUAH: 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name YAHUAH was I not known to them. 4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. 5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. 6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I [am] YAHUAH, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: 7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and you shall know that I [am] YAHUAH your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I [am] YAHUAH.
