“Rejoice and be glad.” Matt. 5:12. In concluding the Beatitudes, Jesus greets his disciples: “Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.” A greeting full of love, and in this sense, we say it today as well. “Eden.” A Hebrew word that means earthly paradise. According to Genesis 2:8, there God placed the first humans: “And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.” - Figuratively, we mean a very pleasant place that offers many pleasures. “Face to face.” In person. Exodus 33:11. Thus spoke God to Moses when He appeared before him and gave him the Ten Commandments: “And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.” - It is said with the same meaning.
