◄ Genesis 1:1 ►Text Analysis

The Hebrew word אֵ֥ת (Aleph and Tav)(or et), consisting of the first & last letters in Hebrew alphabet, appears 7034 times in the Old Testament, is transliterated to be pronounced ’êṯ, but never shows up in a non-Hebrew Bible because it has no direct translation. Some commentators have proposed that אֵ֥ת could be a pre-incarnational, Hebrew version of Jesus' reference to himself in Revelation as "Alpha and Omega", which are the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet. The example most often cited is Genesis 1:1 "בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The word אֵ֥ת is there in the Hebrew, yet it is left out when translated into English.
Michael Rodney Osborne

{1:1} In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
{1:2} The same was in the beginning with God.
{1:3} All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
{1:4} In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
{1:5} And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.


Studied this in class a bit today, what do you all think?

I think I do not follow... too many connections.

"Untranslatable mark of the accusative; mark of accusative" - Strong's Hebrew.

There are some untranslatable words in every language, for example the English "a" and "the" is untranslatable to my native language. I do not suppose it should mean some hidden mystery.

Yeah but the usage of this one word has a alot of meaning that points it out as a reference to the preincarnate Christ.

our teacher even showed us there was a word for computer in Hebrew before they were even made...

take a look at this scripture tho

It helps if you know a little basic Hebrew. Gen. 1:1 is a testimony for non believers.
It has a mathematical undergirding that is quite extraordinary. The order of the letters
tell the story from beginnings to Christ's redemptive work. There are words within words
that speak of Christ's attributes. It is the scripture that has multiple levels of understanding
above all others for obvious reasons. Anyway I am still learning the amazing depths and riches
of God Almighty.

wanderer6059.... don't believe it is what you want it to be.

אֵ֥ת

A sign of the definite direct object....
When a definite noun is a direct object of a verb, the "sign of the direct object" ( or the definite direct object marker) appears before it:

Example:
הגדול (the great) בית המקדש אֵת (the temple) המלך(the King) בנה (built)


In this example , the direct object is the definite noun "the temple" and is therefore preceded by the definite direct object marker (eth).

sorry to burst your bubble!!!!!! :)
 
Yeah but the usage of this one word has a alot of meaning that points it out as a reference to the preincarnate Christ.

our teacher even showed us there was a word for computer in Hebrew before they were even made...

take a look at this scripture tho


Again here "the sound" is preceded by "eth" אֵת

yeah i know that still doesn't change the question tho, actually add more to it brother. because the fact its a accusative case giving meaning to the direct object, like Christ gives meaning to all things. you see it in the word, everything has a reaction, or is given meaning by Jesus. but back to the main question i'm asking, that his word. that is comprised of the first and last letter of the Hebrew language. Aleph alone having a ton of references to God. like the upper yod seen ad the Father, the lower yod as Christ, and the vav as the connection. or how the basic gematria for it is one while the parts gematria make up 26 being the same as YHWH.

theres so much in check out these links
