By the time the reader reaches the third word of Genesis 1:1, he has already encountered several names for God:

The invisible aleph tells us He is a Trinity, since the strokes of the letter; yod-vav-yod, is a later enlarged to say "The Spirit hovered over the face of the waters". He is the invisible creator of heaven and earth whose name is the unpronounceable "ee-oo-ee". We know he is the first and only, since the number of the ''aleph'' is one, and we know he is the last because the name of the letter ''aleph'' means 1000, which is the last number of the single digit Hebrew number system. The number 1000 is also the numeric metaphor for ''king''.
