The set apart anointing oil in the bible contains a herb called kaneh bosem קְנֵה בֹשֶׂם This translates as “fragrant cane,” or “sweet smelling cane.” But there are Alchemists amongst us using eisegesis to try and gain scriptural support for their vice and spreading it to all Israel.
Sobriety is a biblical mandate especially for us as we prepare to come into the presence of יהוה . This makes the claim of cannabis in the bible all the more ridiculous, that יהוה would've commanded large amounts of pot to be burning and dripping in this very same holy place - a smoking tent in the wilderness! Ludicracy abounds in the last days.
Using your liberty for a cloke for vice, you’re not acting as servants of elohim but servants of Heili Selassie.
1 Pet 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour my accessing the portals and gateways of your mind through paths of addiction and iniquity…
1 Cor. 10:23 All things in Torah law are for me, but all things are not expedient: all things in Torah law are for me, but all things edify not.
There are sometimes extremes of the spectrum, where things are permissible but they are not expedient for 95% of believers 95% of the time, they do not edify.
Alchemy is a arabic word – al-kīmiyā. Alchemists attempted to purify, mature, and perfect materials to create an elixir of immortality, able to cure any disease in order to perfect the human body and soul – the achievement of gnosis – the Philosopher’s Stone instead of the Rev 2:17 White Stone.
Genesis 1:29 יהוה told Adam and Eve at the beginning of creation, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat [food].”
Later, in the Book of the Covenant (BoC) part of Torah יהוה stipulates that the green plant is given for food (Gen. 9:3).
יהוה limited edible plants to those that are green and propagate by seeds. Those plants that lack either chlorophyll or seeds, or both, are called into question.
יהוה told Noah that clean animals were to go aboard the ark by sevens, but he was to limit the unclean to only two, Genesis 7:2. Noah had to know the difference because of the clean food laws.
Genesis 9:3 “Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.”
“Everything” is defined by the change from a plant-only diet to a new diet consisting of plants *and* animals — that is, “everything.” But that doesn’t mean you could eat *every* animal anymore than one could eat *every* plant. Let’s look at the passage concerning the original vegetable diet:
“….I have given every green herb for food, and it was so.” Genesis 1:30
“Every green herb” doesn’t mean “every-single existing green herb.”It means“every green herb that is appropriate for food.” Neither Adam nor Noah were eating poison ivy salads or snacking on poisonous berries!
Genesis 6:21: “And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.'”
Noah is commanded to take all the edible foods into the ark. So then, not ‘every green herb‘ was edible, only ‘every green herb given for food‘ was edible.
In Exodus 30, יהוה commands Israel to make a special anointing oil, with which to anoint both the tabernacle, and the priesthood.
Exodus 30:22 Moreover יהוה spoke to Moshe, saying: 23 Also take for yourself quality spices — five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane (קְנֵה בֹשֶׂם). 24 five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. 25 And you shall make from these a set apart anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a set apart anointing oil.
This set apart anointing oil contains a herb called kaneh bosem קְנֵה בֹשֶׂם This translates as “fragrant cane,” or “sweet smelling cane.” Fragrant Cane.
5X inScripture:
Exo 30:23
Song 4:10
Isa 43:24
Jer 6:20
Ezek 27:19 Tyre-Lebanese Black
“Drink no wine or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations” (Lev. 10:9).
Sobriety was a must for those coming into the presence of יהוה. This makes the claim all the more ridiculous that יהוה commanded large amounts of pot to be burning in this very same holy place.
It means nothing more than a fragrant reed, a cane, a stem – in Hebrew or Greek.
This could be absolutely anything from the Graminea (Poaceae),Grass Family – Phragmites australis.
From the Greek phragma, meaning a fence or screen, hedge; from the habit of hedgelike growth along ditches.
The Hebrew word: קנה, kané, Latin canna (“reed”), Ancient Greek κάννα (kánna, “reed”), from Akkadian ? (qanû, “reed”), Aramaic: קניא, kanya, Arabic: קנא, kana; a stem, a cane, a stalk.
The LXX translates this word as calamus.
Not a single scholarly, biblical Hebrew lexicon in the world connects the two words qaneh bosem with cannabis!
The word passed over from Hebrew into Greek and Latin, and into the languages of western Europe. Since reeds were long and straight, they were often used as measuring rods. From this concept, “reed” came to mean “a standard” and ultimately, “an authoritative standard”, or “law”.
It wasn’t until Eliezer Ben Yehuda, the father of modern Hebrew until you got into this nonsense.
Later, Sula Benet, a 20th century anthropologist carried on the Mary Jane banner.
In Ezekiel 27, יהוה explains the burden against Tyre. Judah and Israel traded with Tyre and among the merchandise traded we find wine and cane (קָנֶה). Kaneh. This could be absolutely anything….a bunch of cane, reeds, branches…it’s more likely to be papyrus than afghan black or Jamaican Jam.
Stoners supporting verses: Ezekiel 27:17 Judah and the land of Israel were your traders. They traded for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, millet, honey, oil, and balm. 18 Damascus was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made, because of your many luxury items, with the wine of Helbon and with white wool. 19 Dan and Javan paid for your wares, traversing back and forth. Wrought iron, cassia, and cane (קָנֶה) kaneh Kuf-Nun-Heh were among your merchandise.
In Isaiah 43, יהוה reproach’s Judah (Jacob) and Ephraim for not having brought Him any “good cane” (קָנֶה הַטּוֹב). Kaneh
Isaiah) 43:22 “But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob; And you have been weary of Me, O Israel. 23 You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings, Nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings, Nor wearied you with incense. 24 You have bought Me no good cane (קָנֶה הַטּוֹב) with money, Nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices; But you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.”
Isaiah 28:1“Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, Whose glorious beauty is a fading flower Which is at the head of the verdant valleys, To those who are overcome with wine! 2 Behold, Yahweh has a mighty and strong one, Like a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, Like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, Who will bring them down to the earth with His hand. 3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, Will be trampled underfoot…”
“The end of all things is at hand: therefore, be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.”
