<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis is why some say Hebrew Scripture often \u201cconceals\u201d depth in its structure and names, while the Greek Scriptures tend to \u201creveal\u201d and unpack those meanings more directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s an example. The first word is translated in most English Bibles as \u201cIn the beginning,\u201d but the phrase carries more than one meaning, so let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hebrew: \u05d1\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d9\u05ea <\/strong>(Bereshit)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u05d1<\/strong> (Bet): A preposition meaning “in,” “with,” “by,” or “through.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u05e8\u05d0\u05e9 <\/strong>(Resh): The root for “head,” “chief,” “beginning,” or “first.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u05d9\u05ea <\/strong>(it): A noun-forming ending is used here to fix the concept into a state of \u201cbeginningness,\u201d or origin as a defined condition rather than a moment in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Therefore, while indeed it can mean \u201cin the beginning\u201d Proverbs 8:22 it can also mean “With the Firstborn” (Be-Reshit<\/em>). Jeremiah 2:3. In other words, the universe was not created out of nothing in a vacuum but was brought into existence by means of or in association with a Primary, or the Word or the pre-existent Divine Wisdom. That is, Jesus, John 1:1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. If we treat Reshit<\/em> as a direct reference to Rosh<\/em> (head): Creation occurs within the “Mind” or “Intellect” of God. It suggests that reality is a thought-form or a manifestation of consciousness before it is manifested in physical space-time. Revelation 13:8<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. There is a long-standing tradition in Aramaic and Jewish literature that links Reshit to Chokhmah (Wisdom \u05d7\u05db\u05de\u05d4<\/strong>), as seen in Proverbs 8:22 mentioned above, where Wisdom is described as the “beginning” of God’s way. That is, the universe is structured according to a pre-existing blueprint of intelligence. It suggests that the fundamental fabric of reality is logical and ordered, not chaotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. The Bet (\u05d1<\/strong>) can indicate purpose, like \u201cfor the sake of\u201d or \u201cwith a goal in mind.\u201d The whole process of creation is purpose-driven, meaning it exists to reach a specific intended outcome or final result that was already in the Creator\u2019s intent from the beginning. Revelation 13:8<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Reshit is understood as a basic starting point or foundational principles (or \u201cchiefs\u201d) of Truth. Reality is governed by core principles that everything else builds on. This lines up with science, which looks for the most basic rules that explain how matter and energy behave. Colossians 1:17<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of just meaning \u201cin the beginning,\u201d Bereshit can be seen as saying something deeper about existence itself. It suggests the universe didn\u2019t just randomly start, but comes from Intelligence and purpose, connected to a primary source or consciousness. The focus isn\u2019t really on when everything began, but on what or Who makes reality possible in the first place. Colossians 1:16\u201317, Hebrews 1:3, Revelation 13:8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first letter of the scriptures come from \u05d1\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d9\u05ea <\/strong>(Bereshit). The last word of the scriptures is \u05d0\u05de\u05df <\/strong>(amen). Hebrew is written right to left. So the first and last letters of the scriptures is \u05d1\u05df <\/strong>and means \u201cSon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Revelation 1:8, Revelation 21:6, which in Hebrew uses The Rosh (\u05d4\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9<\/strong>) that is, The Head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On your TV, some channels are still in standard definition, blurry and compressed, while others are in high definition, sharp enough that you can notice details like fingerprints on a glass.
