1. Given the “weave” of the creation week it needs to be kept in mind that this structure does not lend itself to understanding the days of creation merely, or even primarily, as literary devices (a la the framework hypothesis). This would give precedence (or primacy) to the non-linear way of reading the text and Moshe seems to indicate that this non-linear approach is to append, not define, the linear approach.

2. Given my philosophical background (my B.A. is in philosophy) another feature of this warp and weft structure leaps out at me. Moshe notes that the weave pattern gives rise to three tiers in each of his example texts: (1) above, (2) middle and (3) below. These tiers can correspond with the three traditional divisions of philosophy: (1) epistemology, (2) axiology (3) metaphysics. Or, for those who are not philosophically minded: (1) knowing (knowledge), (2) doing (values and ethics) and (3) being (existence). Of course these can be related to the persons of the Trinity also: (1) Father (knowing), (2) Son (doing) and (3) Spirit (being). You can bring “science” into the game too, if you want: (1) space, (2) time and (3) matter. What’s interesting about these divisions is that they are inseparably connected, i.e. none of them can exist independently.
