Stars picture Abraham's countless seed (Gen 15:5), Joseph's brothers (Gen 37:9-10), the coming ruler out of Jacob (Num 24:17), the wise who turn many (Dan 12:3), and the messengers of the assemblies (Rev 1:20).

• New Testament. Two uses: faithful ones who shine as stars (Dan 12:3), the seven stars that are the angels of the seven assemblies (Rev 1:20), the Star out of Jacob (Num 24:17); and wandering stars reserved for the blackness of darkness (Jude 13).
• Exodus to Deuteronomy. A star out of Jacob and a scepter out of Israel is the coming ruler; Yahushua is the bright and morning star, the light-bearer Yahuah raised (Rev 22:16).
• Daniel to Malachi. The wise who turn many to righteousness shine "as the brightness of the firmament ... as the stars for ever" (Dan 12:3) — light-bearers reflecting Yahuah's light, as the righteous "shine forth as the sun" (Matt 13:43).

Sun

Root Gen 1:16 · shemesh (H8121)

The greater light rules the day; in Joseph's dream Jacob reads the sun as the father of the house (Gen 37:10), Yahuah is called "a sun and shield" (Ps 84:11), and the woman is clothed with it (Rev 12:1).

• Joshua to Esther. At Joshua's word the sun stood still and the moon stayed until Israel had avenged itself (Josh 10:13), the lights serving Yahuah's battle; Judah's kings later gave horses to the sun (2 Kgs 23:11), worship Scripture condemns (Ezek 8:16).

The flaming sword bars the way to life; Scripture names the sword the word of Yahuah (Eph 6:17; Heb 4:12), which goes out of Messiah's mouth in judgment (Rev 1:16).

• New Testament. The word of Elohim: Messiah's mouth made like a sharp sword (Isa 49:2), the sword of the spirit which is the word (Eph 6:17), quick, powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, discerning the heart (Heb 4:12).
• Exodus to Deuteronomy. The angel standing with drawn sword opposes the prophet who loved the wages of unrighteousness; Messiah fights Pergamos' Balaamites with the sword of His mouth (Rev 2:16).
• Joshua to Esther. The captain of Yahuah's host met Joshua with sword drawn (Josh 5:13), and the destroying messenger held a drawn sword over Jerusalem until it was sheathed at the altar (1 Chr 21:16, 27); the sword is Yahuah's word and judgment (Eph 6:17).
• Isaiah to Ezekiel. Covenant vengeance by invading armies - "a sword is sharpened, and also furbished" (Ezek 21:9); and Yahuah's word from the mouth of His Servant, "like a sharp sword" (Isa 49:2; Eph 6:17).

Thorns are the fruit of the cursed ground; Scripture uses them for enemies left in the land (Num 33:55), the cares that choke the word (Matt 13:22), and the crown pressed on Messiah, who bore the curse (Matt 27:29).

• Job to Song of Songs. Thorns came with the curse (Gen 3:18) and mark the way of the froward and the field of the slothful (Prov 22:5; 24:31); they choke the sown word (Matt 13:7), and the cursed thorns were pressed on Messiah's head (John 19:2).
• Isaiah to Ezekiel. The fruit of the curse (Gen 3:18) - rebellious people around the prophet are briers and thorns (Ezek 2:6); thorns choke the word (Matt 13:7); in the restoration the fir tree replaces the thorn (Isa 55:13).
• New Testament. The fruit of the curse (Gen 3:18): thorns choke the word as cares and riches (Matt 13:22), land bearing thorns is near to cursing (Heb 6:8), and Messiah wore the curse as a crown of thorns (Matt 27:29).

Scripture interprets the waters as "peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues" (Rev 17:15; Isa 17:12-13); restless water also pictures instability (Gen 49:4 "unstable as water").

• New Testament. Two uses: life and cleansing, the pouring of Yahuah's spirit like water on the thirsty (Isa 44:3; John 7:39), the washing of water by the word (Eph 5:26); and "the waters... are peoples, and multitudes" (Rev 17:15).
• Exodus to Deuteronomy. Water from the rock satisfies a thirsting people; Yahushua cries, if any man thirst let him come, speaking of the spirit Yahuah pours out (John 7:37-39; Isa 44:3).

• Job to Song of Songs. There are two ways: Yahuah knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly perishes (Ps 1:6); a way may seem right yet end in death (Prov 14:12), and Israel is called back to the old paths, the good way (Jer 6:16).

The breath and power of Yahuah moving unseen: born of the spirit is like the wind blowing where it will (John 3:8), the rushing mighty wind at Shavuot (Acts 2:2); also unstable doctrine, "every wind of doctrine" (Eph 4:14).

• Exodus to Deuteronomy. The east wind brings judgment (locusts) and also deliverance (dividing the sea); the strong west wind carries the plague away, showing the winds as Yahuah's servants (Ps 104:4).
• Daniel to Malachi. The four winds of heaven striving on the great sea are the forces Yahuah stirs among the nations, out of which the four kingdoms rise (Dan 7:2-3); held back in Rev 7:1.

Noah's first act after the flood is an altar; the fathers build altars wherever Yahuah appears (Gen 12:7), and Scripture keeps the altar as the place of offering and of the souls of the slain (Rev 6:9).

• New Testament. The place of offering and drawing near: reconciliation must come before the gift at the altar (Matt 5:23-24); "we have an altar" (Heb 13:10), and the souls of the slain witnesses lie under the altar (Rev 6:9).
• Exodus to Deuteronomy. An altar of earth or uncut stone, for a tool lifted on it pollutes it: man's workmanship adds nothing to what Yahuah provides (Exod 20:25).
• Sanctuary and Leviticus. The bronze altar at the court's entrance where blood was given "to make an atonement for your souls" (Lev 17:11); the first thing met on the way in, and the place under which slain souls cry out (Rev 6:9).
• Joshua to Esther. Elijah repaired Yahuah's broken-down altar with twelve stones 'according to the number of the tribes' (1 Kgs 18:31), restoring all Israel's worship; Jeroboam's rival altar at Bethel split and poured out its ashes as a sign against it (1 Kgs 13:5).

• Exodus to Deuteronomy. The bulrush ark daubed with pitch carries the child through the waters of death, the same word as Noah's ark; deliverance comes through the waters in a vessel Yahuah preserves (Heb 11:23; 1 Pet 3:20).
• Sanctuary and Leviticus. The chest holding the tablets of the testimony, where Yahuah promised "there I will meet with thee" (Exod 25:22); it went before Israel to search out rest (Num 10:33) and is seen in the temple in heaven (Rev 11:19).

Joseph interprets the three branches of the vine as three days (Gen 40:12); Joseph himself is "a fruitful bough... whose branches run over the wall" (Gen 49:22), and disciples are branches in the vine (John 15:5).

• Sanctuary and Leviticus. Six branches going out of the one shaft of the lampstand, all drawing from it (Exod 25:32); Yahushua uses the image of branches abiding in the vine and bearing fruit (John 15:5).
• Isaiah to Ezekiel. The righteous Branch raised to David who reigns and executes judgment (Jer 23:5) - Messiah, the Netzer of Isa 11:1, whose dwelling at Nazareth fulfilled the prophets (Matt 2:23).
• New Testament. Two uses: Messiah the Branch raised to David (Isa 11:1; Jer 23:5); and believers as branches in the vine, which bear fruit by abiding or are cast forth and burned (John 15:5-6), natural and grafted alike (Rom 11:17-21).

• Exodus to Deuteronomy. The molten calf is worship of Yahuah's name through a made image ("a feast to Yahuah", Exod 32:5); they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox (Ps 106:20).
• Sanctuary and Leviticus. The molten calf proclaimed with "a feast to Yahuah" (Exod 32:5) — Yahuah's name put on an idol; Jeroboam repeated it (1 Kgs 12:28), and Stephen names it the turning point of Israel's idolatry (Acts 7:41).
• New Testament. The sin offering for the priest (Lev 9:2) whose blood Messiah's surpasses (Heb 9:12); the fatted calf is the Father's feast for the returning son (Luke 15:23), and the "calves of our lips" are offered praise (Hos 14:2; Heb 13:15).

Circumcision

Root Gen 17:10-11 · mul (H4135)

Circumcision is "a token of the covenant" in the flesh (Gen 17:11); Moses and the prophets already call for circumcision of the heart to love Yahuah (Deut 30:6), which Paul names the true circumcision (Rom 2:29).

• New Testament. The covenant sign in the flesh (Gen 17:11) always pointed to the heart: "circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart" (Deut 10:16), which Yahuah Himself performs (Deut 30:6), circumcision of the heart in the spirit (Rom 2:29).
• Isaiah to Ezekiel. "Circumcise yourselves to Yahuah, and take away the foreskins of your heart" (Jer 4:4) - the inward covenant sign the outward one always called for; none uncircumcised in heart enter His sanctuary (Ezek 44:9).

Dove

Root Gen 8:8-12 · yonah (H3123)

The clean dove finds no rest until the waters abate and returns with the olive leaf; Scripture uses the dove for innocence (Matt 10:16), the beloved bride (Song 2:14), a silly Ephraim (Hos 7:11), and Yahuah's spirit resting on Messiah (Matt 3:16).

• Job to Song of Songs. The dove is gentle, innocent and longs for rest (Gen 8:9; Ps 55:6; Matt 10:16); in the Song the beloved bride is "my dove, my undefiled," hidden in the clefts of the rock (Song 2:14; 5:2).
• New Testament. The harmless messenger of rest after judgment (Gen 8:11) and the poor man's offering (Lev 12:8; Luke 2:24); the spirit descends like a dove on Messiah (Matt 3:16), and disciples are to be harmless as doves (Matt 10:16), unlike silly Ephraim (Hos 7:11).
• Daniel to Malachi. "Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart" (Hos 7:11), flitting between Egypt and Assyria; restored, they come "as a dove out of the land of Assyria" (Hos 11:11); the dove at the immersion marks Yahuah's anointing.

• Job to Song of Songs. The servant's bored ear marked lifelong willing service (Exod 21:6); "mine ears hast thou opened" (Ps 40:6) is the obedient Servant who delights to do Yahuah's will (Ps 40:8; Isa 50:5).
• New Testament. Hearing as obedience: the bored ear of the willing servant (Exod 21:6), "mine ears hast thou opened" (Ps 40:6); "he that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith unto the assemblies" (Rev 2:7), while dull ears mark hardening (Isa 6:10).

• Isaiah to Ezekiel. Egypt was the iron furnace from which Yahuah took Israel (Deut 4:20); "I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction" (Isa 48:10) - trial that refines or consumes.
• New Testament. Two uses: the furnace of affliction that refines (Egypt the iron furnace, Deut 4:20; Isa 48:10), and the furnace of fire into which the angels cast the wicked at the end of the age (Matt 13:42, 50).
• Daniel to Malachi. The furnace is the persecution that tests Yahuah's servants for refusing the image; Israel's deliverance from "the iron furnace" (Deut 4:20) and "the furnace of affliction" (Isa 48:10) show it as the place where He walks with and refines His own.

"All flesh is grass" (Isa 40:6) - the brief life and glory of man that withers, set against the word of Elohim that stands for ever (Isa 40:8; 1 Pet 1:24-25).

• New Testament. The brevity of man: all flesh is grass and its goodliness as the flower that fades, but the word of Elohim stands forever (Isa 40:6-8; 1 Pet 1:24-25); the rich pass away as the flower of the grass (Jas 1:10).
• Daniel to Malachi. Eating grass with a beast's heart shows man exalted in pride becoming a beast (Dan 4:16, 33): "Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish" (Ps 49:20).
