Word play teaches that words are merely symbols which may represent more than one idea. Riddles exercises the imagination as one searches existing knowledge and bridges them to new ideas. Initially, a child learns these skills by cheating. Someone tells them the answer. "Knock knock"... "Who's there?"... "<aa word to be played with>"... "<a word to be played with> who?"... "<the word play>". When God wrote Genesis 1 he forced the word play on us, but it is lost in translation. He repeats an idea using multiple symbols, which he uses throughout the rest of the Bible. The idea that he repeats is that he is the Creator. Starting with an invisible and silent aleph א he says that before the beginning he spoke and created the heavens and the earth when no one could see or hear him do it. [1] The first word bereshith בראשית is translated "in the beginning". [2] It means so much more than that.

The first verse says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The first chapter tells how he created everything in six days.

In fact, he says he is angry because although we know he is the creator, we don't acknowledge him as such. [3] There are many kinds of word play used by God. When you discover them, they give great delight as though you were a little child discovering language for the first time. |
