Today’s notes.
Psa 19:8 PURE Strong’s H1249 בר bar, an adjective meaning, “clean, pure;” from Strong’s H1305 ברר barar, a primitive root meaning, “to separate or sever, to select or choose.”
bet ב = house, thus house, household, family, in, within
resh ר = head of man, thus head, first, top, beginning, man
resh ר = head of man, thus head, first, top, beginning, man
The story: Bet + resh together is painting the picture of the family (bet) of heads (resh), i.e. ripened grain. Ripened grain, after it is harvested, is threshed to separate the wheat from the chaff, thus selecting the choice (resh) or usuable portion of the grain. The connection to clean, pure, is that the grain stalks were then burned, and the ash used to make soap used for cleaning.
You might say that the commandments of YHVH are like soap to clean the eyes from the filth of the world that they may be subjected to, that is, to enlighten them.
