15. The Mandate

The mandate of the whole of Creation is stated almost immediately. They translate it as “Let there be light.” Instead, read, “It should become Light.”

Meaning that all the world—even the darkness—should become a source of light and wisdom.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

Good
Seven time G-D states, "And it was good." HIS mandate proceeded HIS approval. In the garden of G-D's perfection all was good that meant that even the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which was in the midst of the garden on the third day was pronounce in a blanket covering of that day G-D stated that it was good.
Reading in the book of Josephus on the creation of the world when Adam's lived in the garden the serpent at first was like a pet that hung around them. After he are of the forbidden fruit he became both envious and jealous over the perfect state of Adam's then he decided to deceive the woman The woman knew the snake to be a pet and so it was far easier for her to walk into the trap the snake wanted both Adam's to do against their first commandment.

articles
I do not like the articles broken up. They cannot be printed due to be in parts and it is not conducive to continuity of thought
