The word ‘oreb’ ערב for ‘raven’ means: blind,::::::::::::::::: naked, or mix.
Which meaning matches the raven’s behavior that Adam saw? We can::::::: only guess. When ravens are hatched they are altricial; blind, featherless and helpless.:: They also are one of the few animals that play with other animals. Perhaps this is the ‘mixing’ that Adam saw.
Blind is a metaphor for not understanding. Naked (featherless) is a symbol for the flesh or sin being exposed.
Mixing some things is not allowed for the actors in the Bible. The rules seem silly to us. They couldn’t plant corn and wheat together. They couldn’t wear leather and linen. They are part of the play or parable to teach that we cannot mix law and grace or holiness and love. We must wait until we see them properly mixed on the cross.
God is Holy [4] and he is Love. [5] Since no man has seen the Father except the Son [6], no one can adequately explain God but the Son.
- raven oreb ערב - mix.
