FILE TAGS

INTRO

This file gives a minimal English phrasing of the original line, built directly from the Line Source File.

It’s readable, but not smoothed. Nothing is added beyond what’s traceable.

RENDERED LINE

And to Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. Then it was begun to call upon the name of YHWH.

RENDERING NOTES

“Ul-shet” = “and to Seth”; marks transition in lineage focus.

“Gam-hu” = “also he”; signals continuity and emphasis on Seth’s line.

“Yullad” = passive form of “was born”; sets Enosh’s arrival as eventful, not agent-driven.

“Vayiqra et-shemo Enosh” = “and he called his name Enosh”; standard naming construction.

“Az huchal” = “then it was begun”; ambiguous passive verb (see notes).

“Liqro beshem YHWH” = “to call upon the name of YHWH”; core phrase initiating public invocation.

INSERTION / HELPER WORD TRACKING

“Then it was begun to” = reflects passive verbal nuance of “huchal.”

“Upon” supplied in “call upon” for clarity; traceable to “beshem.”

No additional smoothing or extrapolation introduced.

CONTEXTUAL PLACEMENT

Marks the shift from genealogical narrative to spiritual invocation.

First textual moment of collective or ritualized naming of the divine.

Links Sethite line to future covenantal consciousness.

STRUCTURAL ALIGNMENT NOTES

Closes chapter-long contrast between Cainite and Sethite legacy.

Builds anticipatory thread to Genesis 12:8, Exodus 34:5, and Levitical rituals of invocation.

Wordplay and ambiguity around “huchal” reflect dual potential: sacred beginning vs. potential profaning.
