in john steinbeck's book "east of eden", the translation of the word "timshel" is disputed when it was being converted from hebrew to the king james version. timshel means "shalt", which conveys predestination and it made the lead character feel like he had no choice to conquer what wasn't good. i don't know why else the word timshel would be chosen for the title, so it must have something to do with the plot of the song.
