In the beginning - Sometimes translated In a beginning or ""In beginning. The translation does not do it service. [1]
Bereshit בראשית begins with a 'revelation to man' ב and ends with the 'revelation being completed with a new life' ת. It is not merely speaking about a creation, or the creation; but of all creation from the beginning to the end. It is a summary of all creation.
- ↑ Bereshit [∞]
In a conversation, a young man was showing me how clever he was by 'correcting' Gen 1:1. He said that it should not say "In the beginning" since there is no 'the' ה indicating a particular object. That it should say "In beginning".
The purpose in making this clever analysis was so that later he could say there were two beginnings, or two creations.
This is backwards exegesis known as eisegesis. Let's see if we can make more observations of 'bereshit' before jumping to the conclusion.
ב- in
ראש - sumnary
י - creation
ת -finished with a new life, (suf. makes an object)
Formation suggests that the beginning of creation is an object. Is it a particular object or a generic object?
It might be suggested that a ה is not required to interpret this as a particular beginning since at it's root it is the sum of creation, and at the end it is the completion of beginnings with a new life.
If you are betting on there having been two creations, you may send me your losings now. If I am wrong I will refund it in the resurrection. 😜

Doing a little reading on a young earth creation group and they mention that Jesus himself spoke of the beginning and Adam and Eve in Mark 10 and again he references the beginning of sin with Abel in Mark 13. So it seems Jesus agrees with a begining and single creation.
The Word [∞]
▸ ± Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 ¶ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John obtained his doctrine from the word-play and notarikon of the first three words of Geensis 1:2.
In the beginning was the Word [∞]
- beginning בראשית
- Word ברא *
- 'Bara' ברא is translated 'created'. In Hebrew, by way of interpretation, if five guys had coffee and one had it hot, they all had it hot, since they are five pictures of one man, even though literally they may be five different men. Whenever God created, he spoke, so 'bara', by interpretation is 'the Word which created.
- Word - 'bara' ברא
- God - 'elohim' אלהים
- Word - 'bara' ברא
- Son - 'bar' בר
- Spoke and created the heavens and the earth - א
- In the beginning
- Word - 'bara' ברא
- Son - 'bar' בר
- create - א or ברא
- God - the Son בר who created א
- Revelation to man - ב (Christ)
- In the beginning - 'bereshit' בראשית
- All creation - yod י
- All things - yod י
- Him - 'yah' י a name of God.
- God - 'elohim' אלהים
- God's life - 'el chaim' אלחים (a pun to Elohim)
- God's life - 'el chaim' אלחים
- not dark (light) - 'lo chuwm' ( a pun to life )
- man - 'ish' אש. Woman is the female ה man אש, or אשה.
- in the beginning - 'bereshit' בראשית there was a covenant 'barit' ברית with man at the center אש or בר(אש)ית.
- God - 'elohim' אלהים
- not dark (light) - 'lo chuwm' ( a pun to life )(a pun to God)
- light - an expression of holiness
- darkness - 'chasak' חשך means 'hold back, keep in check, a covering
The very first thought of creation, the yod י, is interpreted as 'the creator' or 'the creation'.
The vav ו, interpreted as 'he spoke into the void' implies he is the creator
The elements of the aleph א, (ee-oo-ee) יוי, pronounced "Yahweh" and translated "Jehovah" Say he is the self-existent creator.
The invisible and silent aleph א [1] of Ge 1:1 says that God spoke and created the heavens and the earth when no one could see or hear him do it.
By the letters, 'Bereshith' says "A revelation to man, it is revealed that God spoke and created the heavens and the earth. His word did not return void, but his creation was finished with a new life springing up."
Splitting bereshit into ברא-שית it says "created six" saying he created in six days.
Ge 1:1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Ge 1:1 - 2:5 says God created in six days.
Each day points to one of six divisions of scripture, like a Table of Contents, suggesting the whole book declares that God is the creator.
By interpretation of 'two' [1] God is known to be God by the creation of the universe displayed for all, and by the fractal expansion of his word. [2]
