Part 1.1: God invented an alphabet

Chapter 1.1.12 Bet ב

The Word of God revealed to man. As a prefix it means in because the Word of God has come into the world. It is the first letter of the alphabet, and as a prefix to reshit ראשית beginning is translated in. It could just as well be seen as the title to the book of Genesis A revelation to man and is read as such when the word is read 'by the letters'. ^[1]

Bet as revelation to man

Father אב

Father ab is first recognized in Ge 1:1 with the invisible aleph and the bet as the first visible letter of the Bible. It suggests that from the beginning, no one has ever seen God. ^[2]

2. ↑ Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
