Genesis 1:1
1 In the beginning {bə·rê·šîṯ: [בראשית]} God created the heavens and the earth."
"{bə·rê·šîṯ: [בראשית]} In the beginning"
Hebrew, reads from right to left and is a form of picture writing, like Chinese. Each letter has a picture, a number, a color and a musical note that corresponds to it. These are very consistent.
The word "pictures" tell us a story as well as give us a window on God's perspective, something you 'd never get from any definition.
[בראשית] : bə·rê·šîṯ is spelled like this:
[ב]-bet: house
[ר]-resh: head, think
[א]-aleph: ox, head or leader, sacrifice. It also the first letter of aleph-bet.
[ש]-shin: Shaddai, Almighty God.
[י]-yod: hand, power.
[ת]-tav: cross (last letter of aleph-bet)
Though three words in English it is only one in Hebrew.

The first two letters,"bet (ב) and resh (ר) spell "bar" (בר) which means "Son." Yes, that one: THE SON, Jesus! How cool is that?
Our Father is so proud and so delighted with His Son that He blasted the incomparable story of His finished work all over the night sky.

But that's not all. There's more!
The second, third and fourth letters, "bet-resh-shin," spell "rosh" (ראש) which means "head or leader." "Rosh HaShana," for example, means "head of the year," or "New Year!"
Yod (י) is that teeny, tiny, little itty bitty line. It means "open hand." It can also mean power. It is the number 10. You see, Hebrew doesn't use numbers like we do here in the West. They use letters. For that reason, "yod" often refers to the ten commandments or to the tithe.
Tav (ת) means "cross or sacrifice"
The word "pictures" tell us this story:
"The Son is the Head by the power of His sacrifice on the cross."
Or you could say:
"If you have Son and the power of the cross in your life, you have a solid foundation for a good beginning!"
Now, take away the first letter, "Bet [ב]," and the word now spells, "reshith: (ray-sheeth')[ראשית]". It means," firstfruit." You've heard Jesus referred to as the "firstfruits of them that sleep." The day He rose from the dead was on the first day of the Jewish feast of "First Fruits." Coincidence? NOT A CHANCE!

The first fruits is a picture of the tithe. You could say God was the first One to pay a tithe: Yeah, the ONCE-FOR-ALL tithe......and then some!!! Jesus' death was far and above and OVERpayment for our sins!
See what I mean? The Bible really, truly is All ABOUT THE SON!
