THE FIRST COVENANT IN THE WORLD OF SEEDS

      The above verse directs our attention to the Monotheism planted in our natural structure, which is known as Constitutional Monotheism, and it is a vital element of the texture of body and mind.

      By the world of seeds and the world of covenant, the genesis of aptitude and ability is meant. When the children of Adam in the form of the sperm, come out of the father's loin, to go to the mother's womb; and are merely seeds, and note the more than a pile of molecules, God will bestow on them fitness and aptitude to accept the existence of God and His Oneness. This talent is deposited in our nature, as well as in our wisdom.

      Therefore, all the individuals of mankind, have the spirit of Monotheism, and love for their Creator, in their very creation. The question: `AM I NOT YOUR LORD' and the answer: `YES YOU ARE' were both uttered in our constitutional language - the language of Creation.

IN OTHER WORD

      What I understand from the above commentary; in my free language is as follows:

      Here a genetic covenant is mentioned in brief, that, God has taken from the children of Adam in their seeds. Thus the covenant has been taken from all human beings be they born or are to be born, without exception. The attention and study must be focused on the gene and transmision of hereditary units from individuals to individuals; and from generations to generations.

      For example, scientific researches have shown that the shape and the height of the body, the color and the texture of the hair, and virtually every other physical characteristic is controlled by heredity due to the chromosoms that exist in the cell nucleus. So the creator has planted in the building block and origin of Man some general characteristic and especial virtues.

      There are aptitudes, suitabilities for some purposes, and natural tendencies, in our genes that are transmitted from parents to children, and from ancestors to offsprings. Such aptitudes are engraved, or better to say planted in the original seeds of animals, plants, and in particular in the seeds of mankinds who is the greatest of the creatures. One such natural tendency or talent is the belief in the creator - the love or the need for God, and in other word, which as the term; `MONOTHESIM'.

      Therefore what I understand of the above verse is that; God Has written in the Book of man's existnece that: He the only one God and unique Creator is our Lord, and the Lord of all the creatures, whatever they might be; and that we have accepted this natural inscription as a covenant with our creator, not to worship anything and any one but Him, and to say nothing of Him but the thruth.

      Unfortunately many of us forget the covenant and cover the light of monotheism which is in depth of our heart and conscience, with the rusts of sin and polytheism.   TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.
