One of the most obviously false teachings is that the word “cleave” in Genesis where it is written “for this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and cleave unto his woman” is that the word cleave means “adhere” or “stick” or similar.
Cleave means to part or cut.
A gemstone may have a plane of cleavage such that if we strike a sharp blow to a sharp instrument placed on that plane the gemstone will split open.
Women have a “cleavage” – a cleft between their breasts.
Butchers use “meat cleavers” -- large cutting blades that they use to cleave (cut) the meat into portions.
How does the word “cleave” then mean “adhere”?
It means “adhere” because Christianity has lost sight of the true meaning and the true meaning nullifies Yah’s plan for man and woman.
A woman has another cleft, it is between her legs and it is OBVIOUSLY a cleft, that cleft has the outward appearance of a wound cut with a knife or cleaver and when that cleft is first penetrated – that is “cleaved” -- blood is shed.
That organ exactly replicates the covenant act of splitting open the covenant animal and walking in the blood that signifies the formation of a covenant and which signifies that there is a DEATH PENALTY for breaking covenant.
Inherently this means that a blood covenant is cut between a man who cleaves into a woman with the shedding of blood and that therefore sexual intercourse always was and always will be the act of cutting covenant and repeated intercourse is a rehearsal of the act of cutting covenant.
This silence of the church on the sanctity and importance of virginity is compounded by verbiage that associates “cleave” with “adhere” which is necessary because the church lies about virginity and pretends that the “pastor” or “priest” has some authority to pronounce on a covenant union {marriage}.
Sexual intercourse is a sacred, covenant act and should be treated as such. Yes, it can give great pleasure but first and foremost it is a covenant act. Labelling it “adhere” or “stick to” is absolutely NOT valid.
Conclusion
There is great wrong teaching regarding the verse in Genesis which speaks of a man cleaving to his woman – this relates to the covenant act of sexual intercourse and NOT “adhesion” between the man and woman.
There is great error in teachings relating to this act, specifically teachings that nullify the importance of virginity.
May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
