“This verb occurs about 1,040 times (995 in Hebrew and 47 in Aramaic) in the Bible. Essentially yada˓ means: (1) to know by observing and reflecting (thinking), and (2) to know by experiencing.” (Volume 1, Page 130)

“The Bible also refers to the heavenly court as the ‘sons of God’ (Job 1:6). God called the elders of Israel the ‘sons [kjv, ‘children’] of the Most High’ (Ps. 82:6). In Gen. 6:2, the phrase ‘sons of God’ is variously understood as members of the heavenly court, the spiritual disciples of God (the sons of Seth), and the boastful among mankind.” (Volume 1, Page 26)

Christ’s ‘rest’ is not a ‘rest’ from work, but in work, ‘not the rest of inactivity but of the harmonious working of all the faculties and affections—of will, heart, imagination, conscience—because each has found in God the ideal sphere for its satisfaction and development’ (J. Patrick, in Hastings Bib. Dic.” (Volume 2, Page 529)
