Why the Torah Begin with the Letter Beit /Ba (same as Qur’an) a Jewish Scholar said?
The first pasuk in the Torah:
א בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ.
|
1 In the beginning Great God /בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים Bra Elohim / created the heaven and the earth. |
Why does the Torah begin with a bet, and not with an aleph? Simple. Because the pasuk wouldn’t make any sense if the first word were אראשית! 😉
Seriously, though, this is a question addressed in Bereishit Rabba 1:10, where it is phrased as why the world was created with a beit /ba rather than an aliph:
רבי יונה בשם ר’ לוי אמר:
למה נברא העולם בב’? ש
אלא מה ב’ זה סתום מכל צדדיו ופתוח מלפניו, כך אין לך רשות
לומר מה למטה מה למעלה, מה לפנים מה לאחור, אלא מיום שנברא העולם ולהבא.
בר קפרא אמר:
ש(דברים ד) כי שאל נא לימים ראשונים אשר היו לפניך. ש
למן היום שנבראו אתה דורש, ואי אתה דורש לפנים מכאן.
(שם) ולמקצה השמים ועד קצה השמים, אתה דורש וחוקר, ואי אתה חוקר לפנים.
מכאן דרש רבי יהודה בן פזי:
במעשה בראשית בהדיה דבר קפרא:
למה נברא העולם בב’? ש
להודיעך, שהן שני עולמים העוה”ז והעוה”ב..ש
דבר אחר:
ולמה בב’? ש
שהוא לשון ברכה.
ולמה לא באל”ף? ש
שהוא לשון ארירה.
דבר אחר:
למה לא באל”ף?
שלא ליתן פתחון פה לאפיקורסין לומר, היאך העולם יכול לעמוד שהוא נברא בלשון ארירה?!
אלא אמר הקדוש ברוך הוא, הרי אני בורא אותו בלשון ברכה והלואי יעמוד.
דבר אחר:
למה בב’?
אלא מה ב’ זה יש לו שני עוקצין, אחד מלמעלה ואחד מלמטה מאחוריו.
אומרים לב’ מי בראך?
והוא מראה בעוקצו מלמעלה ואמר: זה שלמעלה בראני.
ומה שמו?
והוא מראה להן בעוקצו של אחריו ואומר: ה’ שמו.
אמר רבי אלעזר בר חנינא בשם ר’ אחא:
עשרים וששה דורות היתה האל”ף קורא תגר לפני כסאו של הקדוש ברוך הוא.
אמרה לפניו: רבש”ע אני ראשון של אותיות ולא בראת עולמך בי?!
אמר לה הקב”ה: העולם ומלואו לא נברא אלא בזכות התורה, שנאמר: (משלי ג) ה’ בחכמה יסד ארץ וגו‘.
למחר אני בא ליתן תורה בסיני, ואיני פותח תחילה אלא בך שנאמר: (שמות כ) אנכי ה’ אלהיך.
רבי הושעיא אומר:
IBN EZRA setting out his own while doing this, he attacks this Midrash, writing: “There is also a derash which is good for others, and directs in a way of contemplation the children. For there is a bird which does not see in the day the brightly lit; and in the night it sees, because its eyes are dim; He concluded that the first word of Torah started from Beit /Ba is because of the word Baraka means Blessings. And if the matter were so, behold, {Yeshaya 24}
Now look my Views on the above submission of IBN EZRA a Jew.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth…. בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ.
And as IBN EZRA says:
“The world was created with a beit/ba, because of Blessing”
(Yasayh in Chapter 24)
The above conclusion of the writer IBN EZRA trough the holy verse Hz: Al-Yasah (as) has submitted that the world was created with a beit/ Ba because of blessing /Braka. Yes his submission is true, but he has no knowledge of this word Ba in the same way as majority of the Muslim scholars did not know. Therefore, I have decided to submit it’s holy discovery as a breaking news of the day from all the Holy Scriptures of past and present. Now look further in detail as below:
MY COMMENTS.
The beautiful submission of our Lord was seen again when the holy Qur’an was also started with the same word Beit of Hebrew and Ba of Arabic alphabet / language the word Beit / Ba of bismillah. It was also miraculously introduced and up graded in knowledge in Injil/ Gospel as under:
John: 1 : 1-2e
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. And He was God in the beginning.
It is very confusing for the Christian scholars and the Bible readers to day in Europe that how a God was before the God.
Now look this is the clear position of this WORD (Ba), which is disclosed above.
“In the beginning was the word ( Beit / Ba),
And the word ( Beit / Ba) was with God (Allaha’a),
And the word ( Beit / Ba) was God (Allaha’a). And He was God in the beginning”.
Jews are still confused that why this Word / Beit /Ba was given to Torah as a starting word Beit / Ba ? As we know that the Jews have not believed in Injil / Gospel (New Testament) the book of our Jesus Christ/Hz: Essa Masih (as). Therefore, they are far from the above discovery of the Word / Beit /Ba which was diclosed as the real God (Illah /Ellohi) even before the Allaha’a / Ellohim the God of Injil / Gospel.
The holy Qur’an was also started from the same ( Beit / Ba) as I have stated above. But once again majority of the Muslim faith / scholars of Islam were also failed to get the knowledge in the same way as the Jews did and have due to lack of study from the holy doors of Knowledge. These holy doors of knowledge were also disclosed in previous holy books as well as in Islamic books.
But majority of Muslims were also found blinded from their teachings even they have lived on this earth in between us. Therefore, in the same way majority of these Muslim Scholars are still far from the knowledge of this Word / Beit /Ba of Bismillah of Qur’an.
The Word / Beit /Ba of Bismillah was preached and disclosed by our divine and holy Prophet Muhammad (saww) the master of the holy doors of knowledge, as he claimed himself the City of Knowledge. He disclosed the Word / Beit /Ba of Bismillah the first letter of holy Qur’an explaining to us that whole the Qur’an is in it. Therefore, in the same way whole the holy book Toorah will be taken in the first letter Beit /Ba of Torah.
The holy Prophet also added that the word / Beit /Ba have two (2) Attributes in it, one is Qousein of the Ba and the other is Nuqta /Dot below the Word Ba / Beit. He also mentioned here that whole the Qur’an is in Bismillah and Allah the Rehman (Merciful) and Rahim (merciful) is also in the first word Ba, of the first word Bismillah of Qur’an. He further disclosed the hidden truth of the said Word / Beit /Ba saying:
That I am the Qousein of the Word Ba/Beit and Moula ALY (ALI-aj) is the Dot below the Word / Beit /Ba.
Now Look.A Tremendous News of the Computing Science
It has been disclosed from the latest discovery of Mathematics of Computing Science that:
“The Dot is the Creator of Literacy and numeracy”.
This means that the Dot is the supreme God (Ellohi) and He is the Supreme Creator / Ahsan-ul-Kahliqien, of everything including all the Scroll / Sahaif & holy books of God. Which were written either in Literacy or in numeracy?
Therefore, every sahifa was written through the Dot and the dot is the knower of each and everything inside the said holy books. That is why the holy Qur’an disclosed that:
“Say! Allah is sufficient as witness in between you and me, and another one (dot / Ali-aj) who have the knowledge of the book. (Qur’an 13:43).
It was also disclosed with the divine submissions of our holy Prophet and also proved through Computing Science that the above disclosed Word Dot / Nuqta was Rahman out of Rehman and Rahim.
Whereas, the remainder Rahim is for Muhammad (saww) which is also certified accordingly at Qur’an 9:128 that it was his title as well. The Dot (Nuqta) of the word Ba / beit proved as God (Ellohi) even available before the Ellohim / Allah’a in John 1:1. The following verse of Gospel / Injeil of John has disclosed the Dot saying:
John 1:2
“He was God (Ellohi) in the beginning”. (The word /Dot was before the God)
The reference above has mentioned clearly that He was the actual God even before the God. And his form of Nafs was explained as under:
Hebrew : 2-3.
“He was the King of Peace (Malik ul Salem) and /the king of Righteousness (Malik e Sadiq). He (A Priest/ Imam) was without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life and a Priest (Imam) for ever”.
Qur’an disclosed the same:
A Priest for ever /Imamim Mubbin, a King of Peace / Malik al Salem, or without father and mother, without genealogy / Lam yalid valm youlad, as well as without the beginning of days and end of life / Awal and Akhir.
But unfortunately, without having knowledge of all the previous Holy Scriptures, not a single Muslim scholar of Islam get the true picture of the said guidance about this manifested Priest / Immamim Mubbin of Qur’an 36:12. He is now disclosed as the God Most High with the name ELYON (ELY / ALI-aj) in Qur’an with the help of previous Holy Scriptures.
The oneness of God in Islam Judaism or Christianity will be explained in next article of mine Inshallah.
