We resolve the apparent conflict between what God said would happen to Adam, vs. what actually happened to Adam, when he ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Dying You Shall Die
Job 28:3 Translation
There is a description of the core accretion model in the Hebrew text of Job 28:3. We make a systematic survey of the text, and bring forth this meaning.
The Hebrew Couplet
The basic building block of Hebrew poetry is the couplet (also called a distich or bicolon), which consists of two contiguous lines related to each other by form and by content.
Death-like shadow: וְצַלְמָֽוֶת – tsalmaveth
The shadow of death: וְצַלְמָֽוֶת - tsalmaveth [death-like shadow, deep shadow] meaning to roll or tumble down. i.e. sink, sinking in the shadow of death.
Gloom of the underworld: אֹ֣פֶל – ophel
It's surrounded by stones in thick darkness. What darkness? The gloom of the underworld, sheol, the underworld realm of the dead. The deep places of the Earth.
A stone: אֶ֖בֶן – eben
Generally; the common stone of the field; a stone which may be thrown with the hand.
Surround: חוֹקֵ֑ר – chagar
The hollow place or the inside of a chariot; also of an altar where the fire is kept. Mass is surrounded by the hollow interior of the Earth where there's fire?
He, she, it: ה֣וּא – hu or hi
It, referring back to the subject of Part A of the couplet in Job 28:3, is either mass or time.
Searcheth out: תַּ֭כְלִית – taklith
Shell: תַּ֭כְלִית – taklit
In this case shell is referring to a layer of sediment, or layers of sediment which are stratified.
