Anem

One word that carries the whole promise: a line of descent that narrows, verse by verse, to one Person.

The weight of God made visible: כָּבוֹד, literally heaviness: filling a tabernacle, a temple, and finally a body.

God's first spoken word and his own self-description: light before the sun, and a Light no darkness can put out.

The garden God planted eastward: a sanctuary with a river, two trees, and a job description, lost by one command broken.

The Bible's story turns at trees: two in the garden, one bearing a curse, one bearing healing for the nations.
