Dear Study Partners our goal in this discussion is to consider the powerful impact of just one Word in Ha Torah. We will notice Ha Torah’s Words are Esoteric, Mystical, Unique, and Profound, especially in The Original Language, Hebrew. We will consider The First Word written in Ha Torah, בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet, ‘In the beginning,’ Along with The Six Letters that spell בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet. Each Letter and Word of Ha Torah is Perfect, Powerful, and full of esoteric thought.
(Bereisheit 1.1)
בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ: ס
(Genesis 1.1) says, ‘In the beginning,’ God Created The Heaven and The Earth. [Most people accept this translation.] However, there are other translations of בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet few are aware of. For example:
בְּ Bih רֵאשִׁית Ray Sheet
The letter בּ Bet is often an introduction letter or a connecting letter as in בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet. That means the בּ Bet is attached to the beginning of a word as in בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet. Here the letter בּ Bet is used in a preposition relationship with the word רֵאשִׁית Ray Sheet. The translation could mean in, with, within, into, through, because of, by, of, at, on, and among et. cetera. Keeping that in mind, בְּ Bih רֵאשִׁית Ray Sheet is also translated Through the First, or With the First, i.e., Torah God created The Heavens and The Earth. Mishlei {Proverbs] (Mesorah Publications, LTD, Brooklyn, N.Y 11232 First Edition 2003) p 153
בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray is the first Word of Ha Torah.
• There is only one first Word in Ha Torah. There is Only One God.
The Word בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet occurs only one time in Ha Torah.
• There is only ONE God.
The shoresh / the root word for בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet is רֵאשִׁית Ray Sheet meaning First / beginning.
• Moses Wrote, ‘Before the mountains were brought forth, before You had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, You are God’ (Psalms 90.2). The Word בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet is the origin for other Esoteric Words. Please note the following Words in the order they are written in The Word בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet.
בראשית
• The first three Letters of בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet spell בָּרָא Baw Rah, ‘To Create.’
בראשית
• The last three Letters of בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet spell שִׁית Sheet ‘to appoint, to lay a foundation, to set.
בראשית
• The second, third and fourth Letters of בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet spell רֹאשׁ Rosh ‘Head.’
Within The Word בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet, we observe that God Created A Foundation. ‘Listen to Me, O Jacob and Israel, My Called [Ones]. I Am He! I Am the First! I am also The Last! My hand also has laid the foundation of The Earth, and My right hand Has Spanned The Heavens; when I call them, they stand up together (Isaiah 48.12 – 13).
בראשית
• In order, The third and fourth Letter of בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet spell אֵשׁ Aish ‘Fire.’
See (Psalms 104 and Pesachim 54a).
בראשית
• In order, The fourth and fifth Letter of בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet spell שַׁי Shai ‘Gift’.
Three Gifts were given to The World. Ha Torah was One Gift, see (Beresheit Rabah 6.5).
בראשית
• The first fifth, and six letters spell Bet – meaning House. When one writes The Word בּ Bet, it is spelled בּ Bet י Yud תTav – בַּיִת Bah Yeet, meaning, ‘House.’ The Letter בּ Bet is the second Letter of The Aleph Bet. Numerically the second Letter represents the number two. That directs us to The House The Lord God Created in The Heavens and The House He Created on The Earth. When we spell The Letter בּ Bet, the Gematria becomes 412.
בראשית
• The first Letter and the second Letter spell The Word בַּר Bar meaning, ‘son, pure, pure in heart, clean, straightforward.’
The second Letter of בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet is ר Reish. The normal Gematria of the Letter ר Reish is 200. Numerically the Letterר Reish equals 200, which is 100 times the Letter בּ Bet which equals two. The Letterר Reish represents two choices. One is greatness, and the other is degradation The Letter בּ Bet in The Word בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet is to the right, i.e., before The Letter ר Reish. The Letter ש Shin is to the left, i.e., after The Letter ר Reish. When The בּ Bet and The ר Reish are combined, they form The Word בָּר Bar meaning, ‘son, pure, pure in heart, clean, straightforward.’ When The ר Reish and The ש Shin are combined, they form The first two Letters of The Word רָשָׁע Raw Shaw, meaning ‘to sin, to do evil, wicked.’ Mystically we note the Spiritual pulling us to the right and the secular pulling us to the left.
בראשית
• The third Letter of בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet is The Letter Aleph. The Aleph is the First Letter of the Aleph-Bet, the Hebrew alphabet. The Gematria of Aleph is One. The Aleph represents God. The Aleph represents one thousand. See (Psalms 90.4) ‘For a thousand years in Your sight are but like yesterday…’ The first Scripture (Genesis 1.1) has Six Aleph Letters, each representing one thousand years. The Letter Aleph is prophetic. Moshiach will come before six thousand years.
בראשית
• The first Letter of Ha Torah is ב Bet – meaning House. The first Letter in Ha Torah, ב is enlarged because the ב Bet represents Blessings. We honor God with Blessings each day. We aim for 100 blessings each day. Godour Creator bestows Blessings upon the House of Israel.
The standard Gematria of בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet is 913. There is many additional Gematria not listed here, each with different levels of understanding. (Numbers 34.4,5,9, and 12) say, תּוֹצְאֹתָיו – Toh Tzih Ooh Tawv – meaning ‘It’s Results.’ is also the Gematria 913. We get successful results when we translate Beresheit as ‘Through the First, i.e., ‘The Torah .” we get successful results. (Isaiah 2.3) says, ‘Many people shall go and say, ”Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the House of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His Ways, and we will walk in His paths; for from Zion shall go forth Torah and The Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”’
The Gematria Mispar Katan of בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet is 13.
• The Gematria of 13 points us to אֶחָד Eh Chad, ‘One.’ ‘God is One,’ Deuteronomy 6.4.
Study partners, these are a few among many mystical meanings and revelations within just the first Word of Ha Torah, (Genesis 1.1,) בְּרֵאשִׁית Bih Ray Sheet that cannot be conveyed in translations. Each Letter, Word, meaning, revelation, prophecy, and more was formed within The Contemplations and The Thoughts of The Lord God when Creating everything.
We Observe that our Creator Formed all aspects by Thinking and by Contemplating. Then He Made the appointment for each of His Thoughts using just ten utterances to create and complete everything. In part, this is why Hebrew in Ha Torah is so very unique!
May The Lord God Bless those who study, learn and observe the Mitzvot of Ha Torah.
