"I enjoy your post but not prepared for it. 🤔 Surprised; off guard... I see you have been around since 2000. Blessings..."

Thanks. I never know what kind of related news I might happen upon by freely wandering around on any given day. Keeps me motivated. Never Boring.

As for the "Spirit of God" / Ruach Elohim [רוח אלהים], it is the one that appears first, hovering at the time of the First Light -- the "Ahas-Я-US" moment of epiphany, as it were (date of Flight 71: Jan 6).

The second place as per the Hebrew is that one I quoted, where Pharaoh describes Joseph. Pharaoh was impressed with Joseph's ability to extemporaneously rattle off the understanding and solutions. That particular Pharaoh was not only not offended by Joseph's 110% Can-Do spirit, he hired Joseph immediately based on merit and abilities. "DIE" er DEI was obviously not how he ran things.

Genesis 41:38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is[אשר רוח אלהים בו]?

Besides, the Torah states that Joseph had been put in charge of the prisoners, so he could detect a regime change just on that avenue of intel alone, say if the new arrivals shifted from being odious child predators to J6-ers who were guilty of being at the wrong place at the wrong time according to a sudden change in the definition of "wrong.".

And the way that [second] verse goes, the phrasing weaves in the detail about "the light" [האור] because the word in front of the Spirit of God is "asher", the relative pronoun introducing the clause (= which, that, who, whom).

Specifically, as the returning light (the "ohr chozer", the reflective light e.g. of the Moon) because the letter order is bounced back; i.e. reversed.

As long as I'm at it, here's the phrase, with the [reflected/reversed] light in blue, and "Яachel" going forward in red:

אשר רוח אלהים בו

That may look like abject nonsense (heh, if I desired a personality cult I sure am doing it wrong), but the folks I pinged would already know the background concepts inherent in that, especially as it weaves in Rachel who is Joseph's mother, aka the Mother of all Israel, and the symbolisms involving the Moon.

"Яachel" going forward in red..

That reminds me of a funny story. A long while back in my travels, I had come upon a wiki page that provided examples of Hebrew portmanteaus, הֶלְחֵם בסיסים -- lit. a welding of bases, also shortened to הלחם. The sad AI translators can't keep up though, seeing "הלחם" (helchem) as ha-lechem, "the bread". But then again not wrong, depending on one's choice of diet.

Words merged with "ohr" were heavily represented, because the explanation was demonstrating how the alef א of "ohr" אור disappeared in the new words.

Well, one of these words is a traffic light, which is even the representative image on that page:

רמזור (רמז + אור)

That's "hint, suggestion" (remez) + "light" (ohr). It struck me as funny because since when are traffic lights "suggestions"? If anything on the roads demands strict adherence to traffic laws, it's a traffic light.

Red means stop. It's not just a hint. It's a commandment.

A person taking this concept to its logical conclusion would then see then that the "Ten Commandments" really are those "Ten Suggestions" that everyone jokes about. Or as in the case of Mel Brooks as a quick-thinking Moses, 15 - Oy! - 10, TEN! commandments for all to obey.

Crazy. Everyone knows the real story is that he broke all of them so that the guilty people of Israel would not be guilty of non-existent laws. Now *that's* Ingenuity, in-Jew-new-ID. Street cred. How to run red lights without being guilty of moving violations. Then it's back to driving school.

Then what? A bunch of crumbs to round up (no genuine Jew is going to be a litterbug, that would be wrong). The *Mosaic* Law in a nutshell.

Winning!

Blessings to you and yours.
