In the beginning was the Word
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.
Observe that 'bara' ברא is in 'the beginning' בראשית. In bereshit was the bara, and in the beginning was the Word.
