A taste of the very first chapter, exactly as it reads in the book.
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” — Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
Before a master builder breaks ground, they unfold a blueprint. Before a surgeon makes an incision, they study a map of the body. And before God spoke light into existence, He wrote the plan — not in a hidden chamber of heaven, but in the very first word of the Book He left for us.
Genesis 1:1 is not simply the opening line of human history. It is the architectural specification of the entire Bible. Every theme, every sacrifice, every miracle, every covenant — it is all compressed into this single sentence, waiting to be decoded by eyes that have been taught to see.
English: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
Hebrew: בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ
Paleo-Hebrew: 𐤁𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤕 𐤁𐤓𐤀 𐤀𐤋𐤄𐤉𐤌 𐤀𐤕 𐤄𐤔𐤌𐤉𐤌 𐤅𐤀𐤕 𐤄𐤀𐤓𐤑
Transliteration: Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve-et ha’aretz
This is the most critical word in all of Scripture. Every letter of this word functions as a prophetic tile in a mosaic that, when assembled, reveals the entire story of redemption. Let us look at each letter and the picture it drew in the ancient world…
…and the chapter keeps going — decoding Bereshit letter by letter, then four more words of Genesis 1:1.

Bereshit (בְּרֵאשִׁית) is the very first word of the Bible, usually translated “In the beginning” (Genesis 1:1). Its six Paleo-Hebrew letters — Bet, Resh, Aleph, Shin, Yod, Tav — can be read as pictures: a house, a head, God, consuming, a hand, and a cross. Read the full decoding of Bereshit, free →
God's name YHWH (יהוה) is spelled Yod, Hey, Vav, Hey. In the ancient pictographs those four letters mean Hand, Behold, Nail, Behold — “behold the hand, behold the nail.” The short form, “Yah,” is woven into names like Isaiah and Elijah, and into the word Hallelujah. Explore the 22 letters →
Aleph and Tav are the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet — the Hebrew equivalent of “the Alpha and the Omega” (Revelation 1:8). They even appear together (אֵת) inside the first verse of Genesis. Aleph → · Tav →
Aleph (א) is the first Paleo-Hebrew letter, drawn as the head of an ox — a picture of strength, a leader, and God Himself. See Aleph → Each of the 22 letters has its own picture and meaning — see them all →.
The final Paleo-Hebrew letter, Tav, was drawn as a cross. Read the letters as pictures and the story of the Cross surfaces across Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation — which is exactly what this book explores. Read Chapter 1 free →
Hallelujah means “praise Yah” — Yah being the short form of God's name, YHWH. The Name is hidden in plain sight, woven into dozens of biblical names (Isaiah, Elijah, Zechariah) and into every hallelujah.

Paleo-Hebrew is the most ancient form of the Hebrew alphabet, in which every letter was a picture of an object — Aleph an ox, Bet a house, Vav a nail, Tav a cross. Reading the pictures reveals layers of meaning inside the words of Scripture.
