Biblical word for "good", i.e, "TOV", is root of modern Hebrew word for "nature", i.e., "TEVA". God's view in Genesis of objects being "good" is really= seeing what is (reality, or "nature"). Hebrew for "your friend" or "your neighbor" is RA-ACHA. The suffix "ACHA" is conjugation for "your" possessive. So again "RA" refers to "other". A "friend" is sense of "the other", not self. When Bible says "Love they neighbor as theyself I am god" in the Hebrew, the correct translation is, Identify or merge (i.e., love) your sense of Otherness (i.e., friend or neighbor) with yourself, as I (the sense of self "egoic" local-centic identity) IS God. All together now... Old testament Hebrew “Ra” incorrectly translated for millenia as “evil” is actually “other” (not “evil”).
