Rule One: “After Its Kind” (Genesis 1:11)

And God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so. — Genesis 1:11 (BBE)

What is planted gives back only what it is. The BBE says “after their sort” where most Bibles say “after its kind”. This course uses “after its kind”.

In the framework, this is the rule for how the court works. Whatever identity you plant as I AM, Elohim gives back only that kind. A claim cannot grow a different fruit from the one it holds.

That is why the Bible’s plant words (seed, tree, vine, stump, harvest) always carry an identity claim. See the seed rule.

Remember: you get back the kind of thing you plant.
