Cipher 2. Man unto the Ground in the Garden of Eden (Gen 2:7-3:19)
1.WHO (2:7) And YHWH God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
2.WHY live? (2:9) And out of the ground made YHWH God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
3. HOW to drink? (2:10-14) a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads. The first is Pishon: and the gold of that land is good: The second river is Gihon. The third river is Hiddekel. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
4.WHAT to eat? (2:15-17) And YHWH God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And YHWH God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it.
5.WHEN tested? (3:6) And when the woman saw that the tree was good, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
6.WHERE then is man’s destiny? (3:17) And unto Adam YHWH God said, cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
7.WHICH way for man? (Gen 3:19) in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Commentary: Eve made a big mistake navigating the cross. An earthling can’t reach up into heaven and eat from the top of the cross. Not only that she was out of order, since the Tree of life is before the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Many people ask about cross navigation. That is to say how to understand arrangement of Scripture on the cross. Is there a method? The first of many methods is the grey line that separates heaven and earth on most pictures of the cross, where the cross connects humans on earth to heaven above. So, looking at the foot of three crosses above, left to right, one can see dust of the ground on earth, the Ephrates is a real river on earth and return unto the ground of earth. Then there is a clockwise direction of time and salvation, and sometimes a counterclockwise direction of communication from God to earth on the four rivers cross.
