1dell that's a real sucker move! BEKHMUT is same as PEHEMAUT, when deciphering heiroglphyics, the transliterations depend on whose doing it, P and B is interchangeable phonetically, same with the 'H' sound and 'KH' you see that in hebrew transliterations as Khawwah or Hawwah. MUT and MAUT are exactly the same, just other writer choose to use the vowel 'A'. So no, the source you cited is referencing the same heiroglyphics with different way of transliteration.
Bekhmut is known as Taurt (Taweret) She was depicted as part woman part hippopotamus, with sagging breasts, a swollen belly, and the head of a hippopotamus. You will find her often having the legs and arms of a lion, and the tail of a crocodile. That is Job's Behemoth.
As said before 'Rashith' is used for the 'chief of the ways of Elohim'. As given to use on the Dendarah Wheel of Birth she is Circumpolar star constellation Ursa Major, which is composed of Seven stars. Seven Stars were are part of the 'imperishable ones' that witnessed cycles of re construction. They are Seven Elohim, Seven Spirits before the thrown, Seven Hathors , Seven Steps of the Masonic Ladder, The Seven Inclosures of the Jewish Temple, the Candlestick with Seven Branches, the Seven Tablets and the Seven Seals. To Moorish Americans Circle Seven, Seven Apkallu. So when it says "Let There Be Light" that was not light of the SUN that was the Light of Ursa Major. The Christian theology is supposed to derive its doctrine of the Seven Gifts of The Holy Ghost from the Latin version of the text of Isaiah 4 "The Spirit of the Lord Shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and undersatanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord." But these seven spirits were extant in Egyptian theology as seven souls of the Solar God, who is spoken of as "Ra with his seven souls." These Seven personated seven functions or attributes of the sun. They had a still earlier form in the seven spirits of the Great Bear, the first seven spirits of light having their phenomenal origin in the seven revolving stars. The Seven gifts of the HOly Ghost are derived from the lady of the seven stars, who was Taurat, was called the "living Word." She was the 'ETH' sign in Heaven and a 'ETH' sign in the EARTH.

Seven Archangles are equalivent to These Egyptian Seven Protectors.

Amset, Hapi, Duatmutef, Qebsenuf, Maaentefef, Qarbukef, Harkent Sekhem. The Four Amset, Hapi Duatmutef, Qebsenuf, protect the 'Coffin of Asar' placed as Four Pillars or Canopic Jars. That is the Square of Ursa Major. In Islam those four are Jibraiyl, Mika'il, Azrael, Israfel

The Book of Enoch (or Henoch) names seven archangels:

Uriel, who rules the world and Tartarus;

Raguel, who takes vengeance on the world of the luminaries;

Michael, who is set over the most part of mankind and over chaos;

Saraquael, who is set over the spirits;

Gabriel, ruler of paradise, the serpents and the cherubim;

Ramiel, whom God set over those who rise; and

Raphael, who rules the spirits of men.

She is true doctrine of Wisdom alluded to in Proverbs 8:22-23

Pro 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

Pro 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

[kAHANyAH]

All I know is this and its comin from my studies in qabala, archtypals are associated according to common word themes. For instance , because G-d says Behemoth is the " R'shiyth " of his ways it is understood this same behemoth has a relation with the " R'shiyth " of shamayim wa eretz. Shamayim and eretz were the BEGINNING OF G-D's way.

I dont know about all the other stuff knaxem was referrin to but I do know when G-d began [R'SHIYTH] Behemoth came into being.

1dell said:

UUuuhhhh, Kah tell me it aint so bro you tawkin' 'bout dis:

Job 40:19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].

Thats even worse bro! Hwa Rashit dereki el ha asha igash kherebu. Dude, the only reason derek is sweating this verse is because his name is in it. Dereki, check it.

Still dude this shows a fundamental lack of hebraic innerstanding. Derek is making connections with the word Breshit and how it relates to a supposed egyptian word for hippo which is actually NOT the egyptian word for hippo which nullified the entire argument.

In lieu of what derek is professing are we then to assume that "in the beginning God Created the heavens and the earth" should be translated "in the hippopatomus God created the waters and the dirt"?

Forgive me for not seeing how this is supposed to make any kind of sense. I am as logical as they come and this is so lackin in logic that makes absolutely no sense.

Here is the definition for reshit because this is nothing moor than a game of semantics:

1) first, beginning, best, chief

a) beginning

b) first

c) chief

d) choice part

When it comes time to get down and dirty with it, these are the choice of the word's means. If one is to contest the use of the word in Genesis 1 and trying to connect it to JOb 40:19 in speaking of the use of the word Reshit. Which is used in many differnt context within scripture to show the FIRST of FIRSTS!!!!

For example the First of the first fruits. Can't have a 2nd batch of first of the first fruits man. There is only ONE first fruits. So then why should be consider gen 1:1 a 2nd beginning other than the 1st beginning. Thats the argument. Not debating hippos and water horses.

The reshit of Nimrod's kingdom was Babel, did nimrod have another beginning of his kingdom? It's just not jiving bro.

I originally harped on 40:15 because that is where the word Behemot was found and thats seemed to be the meat of his argument in making the connection betwixt his supposed egyptian word with the word B'reshit or behemot. Either way it lacks gravity

[KnaxemDead]

kAH said:

Also Knaxem to add some more info to the theme of "EGIPT" as the place of creation in Genesis , take a look at the word MAYIM. It is this word that is used in the second day in the seperation. Now look at the hebrew word for egipt : MITSRAIYM [Misraim]. Notice the root MYM in both words suggesting the waters of the second day is the NILE RIVER of Aegipt.

Absolutely, the Egyptians laid Egypt out according to the Heavens above. ASTRO-NOMES

[KnaxemDead]

Seven Stars compose Bekhmut (Behemoth) as Taurat. Ursa Major is fixed point atop of the Masonic Compass. The Four Points of Great Bear known as Hapi, Duatmutef, Qebsenuf, and Amset, makes the Masonic Square. Thus when Candidate blindfold is removed from his eyes, and Worshipful Master says, "Let there be Light" He is steering at Compass (Heaven) and the Square(Earth).

Hey keep the party going dawg! don't leave out the 7 chakras, The 7 deadly venoms (twas da BOMB kung fu flick back in the day), the 7 eyes of Alhiym, The Chariot which is the 7th card in the Major Arcana...

So let me see if I get this right, Bekhmut is Pehemaut hmm (chin was itchin) Bekhemaut and pekhmut ummm behemaut. hmm hell funk it:

read 12 paragraphs of this and call me in the moornin:

www.theosophical.ca/HebrewCreations.htm

Dude, if Bekhmut is the hippo headed goddes, then who is Sekhmet?

DayuM!!! Aint she fine?

Sekhmet looks moor like a henrietta hippo to me. REMEMBER THAT SHOW? The New Zoo Review? Coming right at you, it's quite an unsual thing, the animals talk and sing, with Doug and Emmy Joe, every day's a different Shoooowww!!! With Freddy the Frog, and Charlie the Owl. Oops, I'm babbling, my bad. Sorry yall, in a silly mood 2nite.

Bro I have been lookin ALL OVER for bekhmut and nem, and I only found 2 websites speaking about the same thing, and they are basically dealing pro and con this doctrine you talkin bout. here is another www.africawithin.com/massey/gml1_hebrew.htm

And no body is giving me anything genuine about bekhmut. Any material you would have I'd appreciate it.

Lets take an interesting twist on this. I'd like to see where this goes, Iob was a man from the land of Uz. Anyone know where that is?

Here is something of Interest to you 1Dell, again confirming what I said that this is not a creation from nothing in Genesis Chapter 1 when using the word BARA.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). The word "create" is usually understood as "to make something out of nothing". This concept is abstract and therefore a foreign concept to the ancient Hebrews. Just a few verses later we can easily see that this idea is wrong. In Genesis 1:26 it states that God "created" man but, according to Genesis 2:7 God did not "make man out of nothing" because it states that he "formed" the man out of the ground.

The Hebrew word translated as "create" is "bara". The more concrete understanding of this word can be found in 1 Samuel 2.29. "Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?' " The word "fattening" is the same word "bara" as found in Genesis 1:1. The word "bara" means "to fatten up" or "to fill up" and is the authors intent in Genesis chapter one as this is what the chapter is about. God filled the light and darkness (separated out on day one) with the sun and the moon (filled on day four). He filled the water and the sky (separated out on day two) with the fish and the birds (filled on day five). He filled the land (separated out of the water on day three) with animals (filled on day six). Also notice the parallels, a Hebrew form of poetry; 1=4, 2=5 and 3=6.

A more Hebraic translation of Genesis 1:1 would be "In the beginning God filled the skies and the land".

The arrangement of events on Day Two seems to closely parallel the Heliopolitan Creation myth. A great hill arose out of the primeval flood. This hill would obviously constitute a form of firmament. In some traditions that hill was Atum, the Heliopolitan Creator deity. In other traditions, Atum appeared at the top of the hill.

Atum, through act of masturbatory sex, brought forth two deities, Shu and Tefnut, representing “air” and “moisture”. These two deities gave birth to the male deity Geb, who represented the earth, and the female deity Nut, who represented the heavens.

Several Egyptian pictures portray Shu as lifting Nut into the air and separating her from Geb. Sequentially, then, Atum appears as a firmament in the middle of the Nun and creates Shu who ultimately separates heaven and earth and symbolizes the space in between. Shu, therefore, becomes the firmament between Heaven and Earth.

Consider now how Genesis says the waters were divided. First, the waters above were divided from the waters below. Next, the waters below were gathered into a single place. “The waters above” is an Egyptian concept signifying the sky. We see it most clearly in images of the solar bark sailing through the heavens. Although Genesis says the firmament was called Heaven, I believe this was a late gloss by the biblical redactors. The firmament stands below the waters above. It is the waters above that would correspond to heaven. The firmament would be the space in between heaven and earth, corresponding first to the primeval mountain and then to Shu.

This brings us to the question of where in all the middle east would any people have such a concept as all the waters gathering in a single place, leaving fertile land behind in its retreat. The most logical location is the Nile River in Egypt. The gathering of the waters in one place is the primary Egyptian agricultural phenomenon. It derives from the annual overflowing of the Nile, which fertilizes the land and then withdraws, leaving the dry land in its place. For Egyptians, the Nile was the one and only great water way. Even the Mediterranean Sea attaches to the Nile.

HOld up wait a minute this lil thread needs Write Gnawledge in it. Sorry yall in a silly mood:

I have moor questions now. These are legit.

Derek said Behemot is the Goddess Bekhmet. Clever brutha Clever. Let's just do a friendly tossle of info and we'll see where this goes:

Job 40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

Job 40:16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.

Job 40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

Job 40:18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.

Job 40:19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].

Job 40:20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

Job 40:21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

Job 40:22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

Job 40:23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

Job 40:24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.

Come on yall a Hippo aint that impressive. Lets look at the characteristics of this beast

First of all lets do a break down:

Behemot:

1) perhaps an extinct dinosaur

a) a Diplodocus or Brachiosaurus, exact meaning unknown
++++

This is what Xtian scholars say the word means found ONLY in the book of Iob. I am doing research this very minute on the origins of the book of Iob because some scholars say he was not a Hebrew, others say he was. One thing we know is he was born in the land of Uz, where dat at?

But back to Behemot, when I put my hebraic eye on this word I see that his word is a plural form of the word Behem since the suffix -ot is the pluralize conjugative form. behemah:

1) beast, cattle, animal

a) beasts (coll of all animals)

b) cattle, livestock (of domestic animals)

c) wild beasts

this moves us further and further away from the hippo whose name means River horse.

\Hip`po*pot"a*mus\, n.; pl. E. Hippopotamuses, L. Hippopotami. [L., from Gr.?; "i`ppos horse + ? river. Cf. Equine.] (Zo["o]l.) A large, amphibious, herbivorous mammal (Hippopotamus amphibius), common in the rivers of Africa. It is allied to the hogs, and has a very thick, naked skin, a thick and square head, a very large muzzle, small eyes and ears, thick and heavy body, and short legs. It is supposed to be the behemoth of the Bible. Called also zeekoe, and river horse. A smaller species (H. Liberiencis) inhabits Western Africa.

Now my question is WHERE IS UZ??? because Ysra'aliym couldn't have possibly had experiences with Hippos, since this is an african creature. For some reason I already here in my inner Ear someone telling that once upon a time, the land of canaan (ysra'al) was part of africa since it was part of territories belonging to the sons of Khem/ham. I am ready for that reply and I'd even embrace it.

Cool, now lets look at some of the characteristics of the animal being described here. By the way FYI, the animal being described here is a MALE creature not female. I mention that because how could this be the description of a female goddess when it's attributes and word usage denotes masculinity?

15: He eats grass like an ox
16: his strength is in his hips, and his power in his stomach muscles
17: he moves his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit
18: His bones like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron
19: He is the first of the ways of God, only he who made him can tame him
20: the mountains yeild food for him
21: he lies under the lotus trees, in a covert of reeds and marsh
22: the lotus trees are his covering, the willow brook surrounds him
23: the river may rae, he is not disturbed.

hmm, them last few verses do sound like a river bed creature, but not a hippo

Tail don't look like no cedar yall, I'm tellin yall, the hippo aint that impressive. verse 18 makes it sound like he has body armor, sounds moor like a rhino mixed with something else. And that aint nothing new for there to be a creature with multiple animal features. Look at the beast of Revelations with multiple animal parts and multiple heads. But I am not saying it's a rhino either just some parts of it sound like a rhino, but none of it sounds like a hippo.

Oh yeah let me just mention this verse 19 "He is the first of the ways of God..." Well lets look at something significant for a second back in verse 15: He eats grass like an ox....

Hmm, I tell you what comes to my mind when I think of this, the Letter Alef. The letter alef is ascribed these attributes as "the ways of God" and it being the FIRST OF the alef bet. In fact Heirogliphically the word AL or EL is spelled Alef and Lamed. Alef is the Ox head and Lamed is the Shepherd staff. In it's heiroglyphic meaning Alef means Strength uncompromised and Lamed means Rulership. Together AL Alef Lamed means Uncompromising Power of Rulership. The FIRST of the ways of God, is Alef. I find it funny too that the ways of God is spelled Derek-el. Derek meaning The way and Al/El meaning God. NORMALLY when God is spoken of Alhiym/Elohiym is used. But here the Al/El suffix is used. And who is this speaking in this chapter by the way? TAke it ALLL the way back to the first verse of chapter 40 "Moreover IHaWaH answered Iob and said..." Why would IHaWaH say "he the first of the ways of God" when he is god? why would he talk in 3rd person like that? There is moor to it my brethren.

This is extremely interesting and I am enjoying this, Grab the mic while it's hot derek. Break it down for a bruva right quick

[1dell]

AW shizzle!! No you didn't just go to my favorite site! ancient hebrew.org! I love that site.

Yeah bro I am aware of this, i used to believe that. But not anymore. Besides, this concept is innerstood by the Name IHaWaH alone, which in hebraic thought means He (the unborn) self exists. The common hebrew in those days didn't burden themselves with such complex pontifications tis true, but to the sages and the elect The concept of Ein Sof was very well known.

This is the cross roads of the hebrew scholarship bro, some agree with me and some dont. It's abotu 50/50 down the middle on that.

The idea is that If there was a God to create all this, of what material is he made to make something out of nothing? And is he living in nothing and come from nothing? That cannot be phathomed by the finite mind. But it's all extremely simple when we realize that the 16 dimensions of physics are said to co exist simultaneously. And God sees them all simultaneously. What I mean to say is, the world we see being brought into being by the WORDS that God is speaking "let there be" or the Prayer that he is praying. Ex Nihilo can be satiated within the idea that From one dimension cometh matter. We are dealing with elements and matter.

Science even acknowledges that there are parallel dimensions that exist right now that we cannot experience with our 5 senses. To us they are nothing. Satyah Sai Baba, is known for manifesting watchs and candy out of thing air (ok ok so he's a fraud. lolol) But that skill does exist. To bring that source materials out of thing air is ex nihilo. That is the concept of which I speak bro.

Our word of tangible matter from an unseen dimension, Ex nihilo. I hope I explained that thorough enough. If not then I'll certain readdress it.

You made some good points.

Actually bro, I heard of this before. I am family with that womans body acting as a canopy in the sky. I appreciate you giving up a name so a bruva can have somethign to reference to. I figured thats what you were talking about, I was talking to another illuminopolite earlier about that.

My thing is separating the seas, I dont really like the way the translators translated that. It's not a matter of the waters separating but the waters recessing and the land emerging. You feel me? And let us not forget that the state of the land mass back then was called Pagea, one large piece of land. The bible even records when the lands divided and separated into the continents.

I am glad you said something about the Mediterranean Sea. hell lets just talk about the word Mediterranean divide Medi Terra nean - of being at the Middle of the earth. Why should not life start at the middle of the earth? The sun hits the area just right, peferct blend of weather, agriculture can flourish in such and area. Thats why I disagree with teh egypt being eden thang.

The Hebrew word behemot (bet, hey, mem, vav, tav) is the intensive plural of behemah. This word also serves as a noun in the singular form denoting the hippopotamus. Hebrew nouns in the plural form end either with "im" (if they are masculine) of with "ot" (feminine). Behemoth is Feminine Gender and mistranslations given in KJV is wrong, it's not a 'HE'. That was interjected into English.
Bekhmot is not actual creature, Bekhmut (Taurt) shown as a mixture of a hippopotamus' body, a crocodile's head, and a lion's feet. Perfectly matching the description given in JOB.

[Kerhetmekheetatun]

1dell said:

Dude, if Bekhmut is the hippo headed goddes, then who is Sekhmet?

Sekhmet, the daughter of Ra and wife of Ptah, she is also known as a healer and is the Lion head warrior goddess. In her lesser form she is known as Bast. That picture looks more like Sekhmet than the hippo Tawaret- the protector of Egyptian children.
