Are you able to read & understand Hebrew grammar?

somewhat - i am presently learning biblical hebrew with a rabbi and conversational hebrew with an israeli

modern hebrew is created from biblical hebrew by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda

However, there are also gaps in genealogies.

I'm talking about the meaning of yom (day) in Gen 2:4.

that is what i replied to here

further explained here in these 3 links via the study of the original hebrew - generations comes from YALAD - BEAR BRING FORTH BEGET

Genesis 2:4 Hebrew Text Analysis

biblehub.com

Strong's Hebrew: 8435. תּוֹלְדוֹת (toledoth) -- Generations, descendants, genealogies, account

biblehub.com

Strong's Hebrew: 3205. יָלַד (yalad) -- To bear, bring forth, beget

biblehub.com

so in short the bible is filled with the begetting/beginnings of families aka genealogies

Genesis 1 is the begetting/beginning of the heavens and the earth and all that is in the earth

to make the word generations into literal eons of time - rather than the begetting of the heaven and the earth is incorrect

there is a hebrew word for eons of time - OLAM - so if Genesis 2:4 was talking of eons of time it would have said OLAM not TOLEDOTH/YALAD

YOM is not more than 24 hrs like AGE(e)/EONS(gr)/OLAM(h) - yom is a 24 hr day or less - except for the day the sun stood still for more than 24 hours so joshua could defeat the canaanites - Joshua 10:13

most Chassidic sources will never say that the idea of the seven days(Shabbat) is based on that isn't meant to be literal. they usually don't base the age of the earth on that. which is strange but my chumash commentary and also Chabad say that.

for in six days God created the Heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day rested. the Shabbat time frame is based on that. remember that the Hebrew culture doesn't see the bible written in the context of a GREEK account of history with facts, and whose and whats to give full detail. its more about the important story.

thanks for the info

it is presently the jewish year 5780 - specifically 22 Shevat 5780

i will have to look up again how we arrived at this - i did learn it but need to refresh

i like the jewish calendar with all it's meanings and it's connection to the biblical events - in torah and b'rit chadashah

here's a link to the jewish calendar

Jewish Calendar – Hebrew Calendar

Jews use the Hebrew calendar to set the dates of religious events.

When Was Year 1?
According to Hebrew time reckoning we are now in the 6th millennium. The Hebrew year count starts in year 3761 BCE, which the 12th-century Jewish philosopher Maimonides established as the biblical date of Creation.

Years in the Jewish calendar are designated AM to identify them as part of the Anno Mundi epoch, indicating the age of the world according to the Bible. For example, the beginning of the year 2020 in the Gregorian calendar converts to year AM 5780 in the Jewish calendar.
