In Day four of creation we read that God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to divide the day from the night; let them be for signs, seasons, days, and years.

Psalm 8:3-9:: When I [see]consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have [appointed,fixed] ordained. What is man that You [remember him] take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him?
Yet You have made him a little lower than [Elohim]God, and You crown him with glory and majesty!
You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the [animals] beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Deut 6:4:: shama` O Yisra’el Yehovah ‘elohiym Yehovah ‘echad
‘elohimy: plural of ‘el·o’·ah (also plural in Genesis 1:1, 6:1 and elsewhere)
echad: properly, united, i.e. one; or (as an ordinal) first

Verse quoted in Hebrews 2:6-8. Hebrews talks about angels in verses 2 & 5. It is not to angels he has subjected the world to come (‘olam haba).

The psalm is a gittit. According to the ATS Bible Dictionary The word Gittish signifies belonging to Gath. It probably denotes either a musical instrument or a kind of music derived from Gath, where David sojourned for a time during the persecution of Saul, 1 Samuel 27:1-7. The word Gath also signifies in Hebrew a winepress.

As from last week we talked about the ark of the covenant’s journey from Baal of Juda (Abinadab’s house) to Jerusalem. The oxen stumbled, Uzzah reached out to the ark and was struck down by it. The ark was then moved to the house of Oved-Edom, the Gitti. Coincidently, one from Gath. The ark stayed there for 3 more months.

2 Sam. 6:14:: Then David danced and spun around with abandon before ADONAI, wearing a linen ritual vest (aka ephod)

Where did the linen ritual vest come from?

1 Sam. 21:9
And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. The servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

This is also the same chapter where King David is portrayed as eating of the 12 loaves of shewbread (he asked for 5 but ended up with 12 instead)

1 Sam. 23:9:: David told Avyator the priest (son of Achimelekh) to “Bring the ritual vest here”.

Goliath was also from Gath! Gath was a city of giants (1 Chr. 20:4-8). What giants do we have to slay today?

Matt. 26:26-44:: 26 Now while they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; 28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it with you, new, in My Father’s kingdom.” 30 And after singing a hymn (Hallel), they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Hallel done during Pesach (Psalm 113-118). Sometimes the Jews even sing in harmony the hallel — maybe even in a maskil? gittish is either a musical instrument (like lyre) or music derived from Gath.

The Garden of Gethsemane – Gat Shmanim. Gat is wine press. Shmanim is oil. We could be talking about an olive or grape press.

36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and told His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 And He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, and began to be grieved and distressed. 38 Then He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”

I think it more than coincidental that Gat also means of Gath. I put it to you that Jesus was thinking of King David all this time. How he defeated Goliath of Gath. How he got the sword of Goliath and the ephod of the priest of Nov from Avyator, son of Achimelekh. How David fled to Ackish king Gath during the persecution from Saul. How the ark was kept 3 months at Oved-Edom from Gath. Gath was actually a city of giants. Jesus had a cup to bear and the giants were pressing him right now.

39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.” 40 And He *came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour? 41 Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass away unless I drink from it, Your will be done.” 43 Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. — Lackland AFB annex snooze room!

44 And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

45 Then He came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let’s go; behold, the one who is betraying Me is near!

Peter’s famous tri-fold denial of Jesus is repeated later by a tri-fold request of Jesus “Do you love me”. (John 21) That was restoration!

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

Ephesians 2:14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace 16 and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross
