About the Book

Explore the profound meanings and linguistic richness of Hebrew words in the Torah with From Eden to Exodus. Mitchell First analyzes over 50 key terms from the Hebrew Bible, mostly from Genesis (Bereshit) and Exodus (Shemot), exploring their textual, historical, and theological contexts. Genesis Highlights Tohu va-vohu (1:2): What does "formless and void" truly mean? Adam and Adamah (2:7): Explore whether humanity's name reflects its physical origin from the earth (adamah) or its spiritual potential. Magen (Shield, 15:1): God's promise to Abraham (magen Avraham) as a "shield" reveals the layers of divine protection in both physical and spiritual realms. Sefad (Mourning, 23:2): Analyzes the term used for Sarah's eulogy and its evolution in Jewish mourning traditions. Ketonet Pasim (Coat of Many Colors, 37:3): A discussion of Joseph's famous garment, its symbolism, and its linguistic origins. Sulam (Ladder, 28:12): Was Jacob's ladder a literal object or a metaphor? Exodus Highlights Parach (Crushing Labor, 1:13): Explains the term describing the severity of Israelite slavery in Egypt and its connotations of dehumanization. Vayiven Batim (Built Houses, 1:21): Examines the reward given to the Hebrew midwives and its symbolic meaning in Jewish tradition. Arov (Plague of Wild Animals, 8:17): Offers a unique perspective on the plague of "arov" and how the term has been interpreted by various commentators. Terumah (Offering, 25:2): Explores the linguistic and spiritual dimensions of the term for contributions to the Mishkan. Lo Tachmod vs. Lo Titaveh (Coveting, 20:14): A careful comparison of these two prohibitions reveals nuances in emotional and ethical behavior.
