חדש4 חדש5 רביעי12 חמישי10 hwhy gave us herb and plants, so why is smoking weed illegal? Is this another ploy by man to keep us away from natural foods that can cure our bodies without the use of sorcery (medication)? Believe it or not, this subject is covered in Turah…Can the remnant smoke weed? Hebrew 1 qanah (H# 7070): cane, reed growing in the marsh, measuring balance, lampstand shaft, calamus (?). Referred to as Kanna/Canna in Greek/Latin; taken from H# 7069 - qanah 2 qanah (H# 7069): to erect, to stand upright…i.e. reed or cane. 3 basham (H# 1314): balsam, spice, sweet smell; taken from H# 1313 – basham. 4 basham (H# 1313): balsam, spice, sweet smell, balsam plant - formerly frequent in the gardens of Judea. 5 `ashab (H# 6212): herb, grass, green plane full grown and in seed. Etymology of Cannabis Cannabis (Cán-na-bis; English pronunciation: /ˈkænəbɪs/) is a genus of flowering plants that includes three putative varieties, Cannabis sativa,[1] Cannabis indica,[1] and Cannabis ruderalis. These three taxa are indigenous to Central Asia, and South Asia.[2] Cannabis has long been used for fibre (hemp), for seed and seed oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug. Industrial hemp products are made from Cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber. To satisfy the UN Narcotics Convention, some hemp varieties have been developed which contain minimal levels of THC (Δ9tetrahydrocannabinol), one of the psychoactive molecules that produces the "high" associated with marijuana. The psychoactive product consists of dried flowers of plants selectively bred to produce high levels of THC and other psychoactive chemicals. Various extracts including hashish and hash oil are also produced from the plant.[3] The plant name cannabis is from Greek κάνναβις (kánnabis), via Latin cannabis, originally a Scythian or Thracian word, also loaned into Persian as kanab. English hemp (Old English hænep) may be an early loan (predating Grimm's Law) from the same Scythian source. The Oxford English Dictionary records the earliest usages of cannabis meaning the plant "common hemp, Cannabis sativa" in 1548 and meaning parts of the plant "smoked, chewed, or drunk for their intoxicating or hallucinogenic properties" in 1848.[1] The OED traces the etymology to the New Latin botanical term cannabis – proposed in 1728 and standardized in Carolus Linnaeus's (1753) Species Plantarum – from an earlier Latin cannabis, coming from Greek kánnabis. Ancient Greek kánnabis transcribed a Scythian term in the earliest (ca. 440 BCE) reference to recreational cannabis usage. Herodotus recorded cannabis steam baths in The Histories. "The Scythians, as I said, take some of this hemp-seed [presumably, flowers], and, creeping under the felt coverings, throw it upon the red-hot stones; immediately it smokes, and gives out such a vapor as no Grecian vapour-bath can exceed; the Scyths, delighted, shout for joy."[2] The word 'gan-zi-gun-nu' is referenced from stone tablets (dating 700BC) that indicate a connection with eastern and near-eastern terms for the plant, ('gan-zi'->'ganja','gun-nu'->'qaneh'). This substance was used for witchcraft and prescribed as a useful remedy for a variety of ailments including depression and impotence.[11]
Material uses and the various names by which materials are called also help to confirm etymology. Cannabis was also a common material among the Hebrews. The Hempen frock called "Simlah" in Hebrew[16] was worn as a mark of the lowly. Hempen, of course, means made of Hemp (Cannabis)[17]. The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia also asserts the following: "The usual material for ropes was certainly flax (hemp)"[18]
That the cloth for tents called bait sha`r, meaning "house of hair" were stretched over poles by ropes
of goats hair or hemp.[19] "The poorer classes probably wore wrappers made either of unbleached flax or hemp"[20] (the hempen, again, being the Simlah)[21]
It is clear that qeneh bosem was common among the biblical Hebrews not only for the Holy Anointing Oil as indicated above, but also for other material uses including clothing, rope and linen. There are many natural oils as wells as products made from the cannabis plant…where does the smoking of it come into play? Found in Turah Cannabis is found in ha Abary as the compound word qanah basham, and its use was permitted by hwhy.
( שמותShamuth/Exodus) 30:23-33… 30:23
וקנמן־בשם מאות חמש מר־דרור ראש בשמים קח־לך ואתה ומאתים׃ חמשים בשםוקנה־ ומאתים חמשים מחציתו Exod 30:23 “And
take for yourself choice spices, five hundred [sheqels] of liquid myrrh, and half as much – two hundred and fifty – of sweet-smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty of sweet-smelling cane,” *note*: qanah (H# 7070) and basham (H# 1314) have been rendered as sweet-smelling cane, this referring to the smell of cannabis. Basham (H# 1314) is a direct reference to the aroma, while qanah (H# 7070) refers to the actual plant, hence the term qanah-basham (cannabis): aromatic reed. Cannabis was used as one of the set-apart oils for anointing the kahanym. It is to be noted that all (except one) of the uses of qanah (H# 7070) are used with no reference to basham (H# 1314) since there are various types of reeds/canes/and stalk type plants that exist in the marsh: it is only specified as qanah basham once. In this instance, the oils were used…it was not dried down, put in paper and smoked. Since the word qanah (H# 7070) does not refer to the same type of plant in all of its 38 uses…we must carefully dissect its use when it is said to indeed refer to cannabis. Qanah (H# 7070): Stalk/Reed
( ישעיהוYashaYahu/Isaiah) 43:16-24… לא־קנית
לא זבחיך וחלב קנה בכסף לי
העבדתני אך הרויתני ס בעונתיך׃ הוגעתני בחטאותיך 43:24 “You
have not bought Me sweet cane with silver, nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your slaughterings. You have only burdened Me with your sins, you have wearied Me with your crookedness’s.” *note*: qanah (H# 7070) has been rendered as sweet cane, but this most likely referenced to cannabis since it was one of the plants used for anointing the ark and the kahanym. It was not being smoked by men in this use.
( ירמיהוYaramYahu/Jeremiah) 6:16-20… למה־זה
וקנה תבוא משבא לבונה לי
עלותיכם מרחק מארץ הטוב ס י׃ל לא־ערבו וזבחיכם לרצון לא 6:20 “What
need have I of frankincense from Shaba, and sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your slaughterings have not been sweet to Me.”
*note*: qanah (H# 7070) has been rendered as sweet cane, but this most likely referenced to cannabis: sweet cane is a poor translation and was not used as an offering. It was not being smoked by men in this use.
( יחזקאלYachazaq‘al/Ezekiel) 27:19… ודן
עשות ברזל נתנו בעזבוניך מאוזל ויון
היה׃ במערבך וקנה קדה 27:19 “And
Dan and Yun from ‘Auzal paid for your wares, they exchanged wrought iron, cassia, and cane for your merchandise.” *note*: qanah (H# 7070) has been rendered as cane, but this most likely referenced to cannabis. Cannabis was used to barter. Plants (Herb) Were Given for Food: Not Smoking
( בראשיתB-r‘ashyth/Genesis) 1:29… ויאמר
־כל־ת א לכם נתתי הנה אלהים
על־פני אשר זרע זרע עשב יהיה לכם זרע זרע פרי־עץ אשר־בו ־כל־העץת או כל־הארץ לאכלה׃ And ‘Alahym said, “Behold: I have given to you אתevery herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the earth and אתevery tree whose fruit yields seed, for you, it is to be food. *note*: Although many refer to cannabis as ‘herb’, ‘herb’ is just a translation of the word `ashab (H# 6212)…this word ranges from grass to green plants in general: these plants were to be eaten. In the 32 uses of `ashab, it was never smoked.
( בראשיתB-r‘ashyth/Genesis) 1:30…
אשר־בו על־הארץ רומש ולכל השמים ולכל־עוף הארץ ולכל־חית ויהי־כן׃ לאכלה עשב ־כל־ירקת א חיה נפש And to every living creature of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens, and to every creeper on the earth which is a living being אתand every green herb is for food.” And it came to be so. *note*: Again, `ashab (H# 6212) was for food, to be eaten…not smoked.
( בראשיתB-r‘ashyth/Genesis) 3:18… וקוץ
עשב ־ת א ואכלת לך תצמיח ודרדר
השדה׃ And shall bring forth for you thorns and thistles, and you shall eat field. *note*: Again, `ashab (H# 6212) was for food, to be eaten…not smoked.
( בראשיתB-r‘ashyth/Genesis) 9:3… כל־רמש
אתthe tender of the
לאכלה יהיה לכם הוא־חי אשר
לכם נתתי עשב כירק ־כל׃ת א Every creeping thing which is alive shall be food for you. I have given you the green plant1. *note*: Again, `ashab (H# 6212) was for food, to be eaten…not smoked.
The Conclusion of the Matter
אתall, even as
The truth of the matter is, men are always looking for excuses to sin, and it is becoming extremely pathetic. Cannabis is found in the time of Yashar‘al as food and a portion of a set apart oil. Today, we can use hemp oil legally, as the plant has been used for thousands of years…but we would rather smoke it? Why? What human wakes up and say, “I want to start smoking spinach today!” No one does this; smoking cannabis is something unnatural that was given to man or discovered by man at a time when he was mastering the art of abusing hwhy creation. The only instance remotely close to cannabis in reference to fire is when the word qanah seems to point to offering made to hwhy. If we are lighting cannabis today, would this not be strange fire? Many have said that cannabis was burned as incense as well…again; this was done only to hwhy. Is it possible that cannabis was something special in the eyes of hwhy? Yes. Is it possible He gave us cannabis to get a buzz? No, He specifically stated that alcohol was given for this purpose. So why do so many desire to smoke weed? To get high. Smoking cannabis is sorcery and witchcraft. I’ll be honest: I have hemp oil on my salad almost every day…that is what it was made for. Even if smoking cannabis was legal: it is a sin. …Chazun/Revelation 22:11 1 Man eating meat was never the result of a
'fall from grace.' It was a gift, just like vegetables, only we did not receive this gift
until the earth started over yet again.
