SECRETS OF GENESIS 1:1<br />

PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />

1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply<br />

in the earth.<br />

1:25 And God made the beast <strong>of</strong> the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth<br />

upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.<br />

1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image <strong>of</strong> God created he him; male and female created he<br />

them.<br />

1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and<br />

subdue it: and have dominion over the fish <strong>of</strong> the sea, and over the fowl <strong>of</strong> the air, and over every living thing that<br />

moveth upon the earth.<br />

1:29 . And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face <strong>of</strong> all the earth,<br />

and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit <strong>of</strong> a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.<br />

1:30 And to beast <strong>of</strong> the earth, and to every fowl <strong>of</strong> the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein<br />

[there is] life, [I have given]<br />

every green herb for meat: and it was so.<br />

1:31 . And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the<br />

morning were the sixth day.<br />

The word את is also used over 7,000 times in the Hebrew Bible. It is all over the body <strong>of</strong> Bible.<br />

The Aleph-Tav (Jesus) is on every page <strong>of</strong> the Bible and practically in every sentence. The<br />

Word was with God and Word was God.<br />

An analysis <strong>of</strong> the use on these terms on the creation story and its relevance is based on the deep<br />

seated Jewish mystical understanding <strong>of</strong> the world being made <strong>of</strong> by the word, - literally the<br />

alphabet <strong>of</strong> the Hebrew language.It is deep seated within the structure <strong>of</strong> the language. The<br />

creation according to the theory was made by the vibrations <strong>of</strong> the word and the Hebrew letters<br />

were the building blocks. It makes additional meaning in terms <strong>of</strong> the New Testament<br />

understanding <strong>of</strong> the concept the Word - the Logos which is identified with the incarnate God<br />

Jesus <strong>of</strong> Nazareth. את then gains additional meaning as the seal <strong>of</strong> God as sacrificial symbol.<br />

In addition the Jewish gematria gives additional meaning when we analyze the number <strong>of</strong> times<br />

the word aleph tau is used in the creation story <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gen</strong>esis. It makes us ask the question “Did<br />

the writer <strong>of</strong> the story intended something beyond the normal gramatical use?”<br />

The answer is in Mat 13.<br />

Matthew 13:10 - 12 Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked,<br />

“Why do You speak to the people in parables?”<br />

He replied, “The knowledge <strong>of</strong> the mysteries <strong>of</strong> the kingdom <strong>of</strong> heaven has been given to you,<br />

but not to them.<br />

Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance.<br />

Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.…”<br />

Without doubt Jesus is affirming that there are hidden meanings in the simple stories which are<br />

not seen by others. It is intended to give additional insight to those who are able and if under the<br />

guidance <strong>of</strong> the spirit <strong>of</strong> God according to John 16:13.<br />

“In Hebrew, the use <strong>of</strong> the to mark the accusative case is never ambiguous because it is<br />

empty <strong>of</strong> meaning. It stands only as a mark <strong>of</strong> the grammatical relation between verb and object.<br />

Despite this ciphered silence, or perhaps because <strong>of</strong> it, many rabbis <strong>of</strong> the Talmud, especially<br />
