With the understanding we have learned, we need not wonder why HaShem/Elokim promised to eradicate the establishment He had made, when, in the event, He did not do so. While mankind was not quiet entirely wiped out, the establishment, the structure of mankind, was. For this reason, too, the genealogy from Adam to Noach calls itself (Bereishit 5:1): “This is an account of the descendants of man.” The genealogy totals each individual’s life span, for the purpose of the genealogy is to relate the history of those individuals.
The purpose of the mabbul, however, is unconcerned with individuals. The purpose is to relate the development of the races of mankind, the nations into which the children of Noach were to be divided. Therefore, the genealogy is prefaced (Noach, Bereishit 9:18,19): “The three sons of Noach who emerged from the ark were Shem, Cham, and Yafet, and the descendants of these spread over the whole earth.

Prayer is a daily obligation, requesting HaShem/Elokim’s good be supplied without interruption. One of the conditions ordained by the Highest Wisdom was that in order for mankind to receive sustenance form HaShem/Elokim, they must first motivate themselves in HaShem/Elokim direction and turn to HaShem/Elokim to request their needs. HaShem/Elokim desires and wills to constantly benefit mankind. He therefore arranged that prayer be a daily obligation. Through it, mankind receives sustenance, success and blessing according to their needs, as dictated by their state of being.

When HaShem/Elokim created the world He intended to give the Torah to “mankind.” But Odom haRishon sinned; Cain killed his brother; in the next generation idolatry was instituted. Finally, indulging in robbery and sexual immorality as well as idolatry; mankind was unfit to receive the Torah. But this time there was Noach, a tsaddik who walked with HaShem/Elokim, fit to be the ancestor of a people who would receive the Torah.

Man and creation are composed of 248 basic components, each rectified via the 248 words of the “Shema”. HaShem daily renews the Divine Influences which sustain all of creation and sends a new Influence particular to each day of His creation. The significance of the Shema, “Hear O Israel, HaShem is our G-d, HaShem is One,” is therefore to bear witness to HaShem’s unity in all its aspects, as well as to accept the yoke of His Kingdom and His Authority over all creation, and to resolve to give one’s life for the sanctification of His Name.

The first member of mankind was Odom (Adam). His name speaks for itself, for the word means “man” (not in the sense of an “adult male,” for the Hebrew word “Odom” has no connotation of sex or age (Bereishit 1:27, 5:1,2 and Mattos, BaMidbar 31:34). This one individual, dubbed “mankind,” is no less that the founder of humanity.
The second person was Chava (Eve). She too, represents not merely an individual, but all life ever after, as the Torah (Bereishit3:20) tells us: The man called his wife’s name “Chava,” for she is mother of all living.
Of the next generation we read (4:17): Cain knew his wife and conceived and bore Chanoch. He built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, “Chanoch.”
One man built an entire city. Undoubtedly, that is the reason HaShem/Elokim made the early generations live as long as they did, for otherwise civilization could not have been established.

Problem and Solution Summary:
Due to a power problem at the data center resulting from an explosion in the power system that destroyed the utility room at the data center, our media servers went off-line Saturday afternoon around 5pm CDT. After many successive assurances that the server would be back in operation “soon”, it became evident that this would not be the case. (As of this writing, the server is still not available.) Measures were taken to restore backups onto a different server, and a good deal of that work is now done after about 2.5 days of almost non-stop file transfers and network configuration/redirection tasks.
