…the Paleo-Hebrew

The Torah is not about him. It is him. YHWH.

Document 1 of 11

This series reads the Torah the way Moshe wrote it. In the Paleo-Hebrew, the pictographic script in which every letter is a drawn image declaring its meaning directly to anyone who can see it. No numerical system. No gematria. No authorized interpretation standing between the reader and the declaration. The pictures speak. We listen.

Yeshua said in Luke 24:44, these are they that speak of me, in...    see more >>

The Aleph-Tav in the first sentence of the Torah

Teaching and Understanding the Paleo-Hebrew

Document 2 of 11

The first sentence of the Torah contains a word that every translation tradition left out. Not because it was obscure. Not because it was difficult. Because the translators treated it as a grammatical particle with no translatable meaning. A technical function. Nothing to see. Move along.

They were wrong. And what they left out is the most precise declaration in the entire first sentence.

Teaching and Understanding the Paleo-Hebrew

Document 3 of 11

There are serious scholars, careful theologians, and genuine students of the Hebrew text who approach the Paleo-Hebrew differently than this body of work does. Their caution is real. Their concerns are legitimate. They have thought carefully about the relationship between the pictographic letter forms and the meaning of Hebrew words and they have raised questions worth hearing.

Elohim

Five pictures in the name of the creator

Teaching and Understanding the Paleo-Hebrew

Document 4 of 11

The first sentence of the Torah names the one who creates. Bereshit bara Elohim, in beginning created Elohim. The English tradition translates Elohim as God. One word. Simple. Settled. Nothing to examine.

But Elohim is five letters. In the Paleo-Hebrew script, five pictures. And the five pictures declare something that the single English word God does not carry and was never designed to carry.

Bara

Created

Teaching and Understanding the Paleo-Hebrew

Document 5 of 11

The first sentence of the Torah. Bereshit bara Elohim. In beginning created Elohim.

The second word is bara. The act. The verb. Created. What Elohim did in beginning. Three letters in the Paleo-Hebrew. Three pictures. And the first picture of bara is the same first picture of Bereshit. The same letter. The same drawing. At the opening of both words. The Torah is already showing a pattern before...    see more >>

Hashamayim

The Heavens

Teaching and Understanding the Paleo-Hebrew

Document 6 of 11

The first sentence of the Torah: Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve’et ha’aretz. In beginning created Elohim [Aleph-Tav] the heavens and [Aleph-Tav] the earth.

The Aleph-Tav stands before the heavens. The first and the last, present before the first thing named in the act of creation. And then hashamayim, the heavens. The word that names the first created realm. Five letters. Ha is the definite...    see more >>

Genesis 1:4

Three facts. No declaration. The reader decides.

Document 7 of 11

What follows is not an argument. It is not a theological declaration. It is three facts placed in sequence. Read them carefully. Then decide for yourself whose point of view Genesis 1:4 could have been written from.

A note on honesty: an earlier version of this document stated that December 1968 and the Apollo 8 crew were the first to observe the...    see more >>

Choshech

Darkness

Teaching and Understanding the Paleo-Hebrew

Document 8 of 11

Document Seven established the physical reality. Darkness is not simply the absence of light, not from outside the atmosphere, and not in the Paleo-Hebrew text. Genesis 1:4 divides between two absolute simultaneous conditions. The division requires two things that exist simultaneously. Darkness exists. It has its own condition. It is not merely the withdrawal of light.

Genesis 15, The Tardemah, the Chashekah,
and the One Who Passed Through Alone

Teaching and Understanding the Paleo-Hebrew

Document 9 of 11

Document Seven established the physical reality of darkness, two absolute simultaneous conditions, the division between them, the observation no human being made until December 1968 that Genesis 1:4 had already declared. Document Eight read the Paleo-Hebrew pictures of choshech, the separation, the consuming, the covered, and established that darkness in the covenant text is not the absence of...    see more >>

Ruach

Breath. Wind. Spirit.

Document 10 of 11

Genesis 1:2. Ve ruach Elohim merachefet al pnei hamayim. And the Ruach of Elohim was hovering over the face of the waters.

The Ruach of Elohim is present in the second verse of the Torah. Before the light is called. Before anything is spoken into existence. Before the first word of creation. In the darkness, in the choshech, over the face of the deep. The Ruach is already there. Hovering. Present....    see more >>

Or…

Light

Teaching and Understanding the Paleo-Hebrew

Document 11 of 11

Genesis 1:3. Vayomer Elohim yehi or vayehi or. And Elohim said let there be light and there was light.

The first spoken word of creation. The first thing called into existence. The first declaration that broke the silence over the choshech and the tehom, the darkness and the deep, in the second verse. Elohim spoke. And the first thing spoken was or. Light.

Not the sun. Not the stars. Not the physical...    see more >>
