As God teaches his language, he says things in different ways until we understand. Each expression of bet says the same thing in a slightly different way. The letter bet is the foundation. It is a revelation to man. The gate bat or bath has the added meaning that the revelation was successful and it produced a new life. Compare to the shin ש which says that the new life returned with the Word which produced it. The word bath is also a liquid measure. Measuring is a metaphor for judging. Water is a metaphor for the word. It suggests that the word of God is judged by it's result of a new life being produced. Add a yod in the middle of bet בית and now it is focused on the fact of the new life, the the creation yod י in the house. Bethah has the added he ה which symbolizes that the beth doesn't understand. How is the word judged in this case? The word bethah בתה means 'desolate'. the house has not been fruitful. [v 1]
