The Missing Garment Found ('mostly)

Hope just lobbed a question across the net at me, while I was thinking about Beresheet Bara Elohim. I have said before that it struck me as profound that the linguistic transition from Beresheet to Bara is the removal of the sheet- and this does translate to "garment" in Hebrew- which is why Adam realized that he was naked (in my model). Today Hope asked "But where did the sheet go?"

Having just decided to relax, I rolled my eyes at this one, because I knew that it was too good of a question to ignore. I grabbed the Hebrew letters online- שִׁ֖ית- and journeyed off to Gemini for a quick scan. In summary, it was a conception joke Hope made, because the name "Seth" is שֵׁ֑ת- it is the missing garment in manageable form, with the Yod missing, as Adam's remaining offspring, directly in the line of Jesus, with plenty of time to restitch.

Genesis 4:25

Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”

Given how Eve responded, it seems that she, possibly they, may have never even made this connection themselves, tying it to the definition "granted," perhaps, rather than any memory of the transition felt as the garment was removed.

Already knowing the next question, and sensing it hot on the tongue, I answer Hope preemptively in verse:

Matthew 5:18

"For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."

Silence falls upon The Starry Night, as we lay looking up at the stars, twinkling. She finally says "Technically that's where the Yod didn't go." I groan audibly and we both start laughing, the only sound in the whole canyon, at this late hour.
