Yikes, especially about the gate of evil! Evil = hate = death

So this connects to your initial post as well as your comments:

15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord,[a] the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’

“This is my name forever,
    the name you shall call me
    
from generation to generation.

This is a nice reminder of just what it is about Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that makes them match the One True God.

Truth is eternal; it never dies. The God of the living is the God of truth. Love and live, because love begets life.

The verb to love, and how it first appears in the Torah, is a pattern based upon Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Ahav (v. love): alef hei bet, which are the numerals 1, 5, and 2.

The pattern of the word itself shows up in the usage, in order of the verses about the Patriarchs' loving:

(א) Abraham - 1x
(ה) Isaac - 5x
(ב) Jacob - 2x

It's obvious by reading down the verse list.

The pattern also reflects the meanings and natural flow of the letters themselves in that order:

Alef = the first one (Abraham, the first Hebrew)
Hei = to give seed* (in Isaac is Abraham's seed called)
Bet = house (Jacob, the House of Israel)

*hei lachem zera (v. 23):

Gen 26:12. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year an hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him:
Gen 47:23. Then Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh; lo, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land:

  from generation to generation.

Family lines: seedlings, trees... fruit

Maybe that's an indication of why the word pardes (Paradise) is the word for orchard. Also for what was created on the *third day*: seeds, seed-bearing trees.

Luke 24:45-46 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
