I shall comment on the very first Hebrew word in the Bible; I
will make a comment on the very first sentence of the history of
creation in the Bible--_Berosheit_. I want to analyze the word.
_Baith_--in, by, through and everything else. _Rosh_--the head.
_Sheit_--Grammatical termination. When the inspired man wrote it
he did not put the _baith_ there. An old Jew without any authority
added the word: he thought it too bad to begin to talk about the
head! It read first, "The head one of the Gods brought forth the
Gods." That is the true meaning of the words. _Baurau_ signifies
to bring forth. If you do not believe it, you do not believe the
learned man of God. Learned men can teach you no more than what
I have told you. Thus the head God brought forth the Gods in the
grand council. * * * The head God called together the Gods and sat
in grand council to bring forth the world. The grand councilors sat
at the head in yonder heavens and contemplated the creation of the
worlds which were created at that time. * * * In the beginning,
the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods, and they came
together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it.
Later in dwelling on the same subject he said:
I will show from the Hebrew Bible that I am correct, and the first
word shows a plurality of Gods, and I want the apostates and
learned men to come here and prove to the contrary, if they can.
An unlearned boy must give you a little Hebrew. _Berosheit baurau
Eloheim ait aushamayeen uenhau auratis_, rendered by King James'
translation: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the
earth." I want to analyze the word _Berosheit_. _Rosh_, the head;
_sheit_, a grammatical termination. The _Baith_ was not originally
put there when the inspired man wrote it, but it has been since
added by an old Jew. _Baurau_ signifies to bring forth; Eloheim
is from the word _Elio_, God, in the singular number, and by
adding the word _heim_, it renders it Gods. It read first, "In the
beginning the head of the Gods brought forth Gods," or as others
have translated it, "The head of the Gods called the Gods together."
