Letter added

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)

The actual Hebrew reads as  :be·re·shit e·lo·him; ba·ra. Here’s where it gets interesting. According to the renowned commentator Ibn Ezra, the letter Bet was added to the sentence.

Commentary Ibn Ezra

Our sages have said that the [letter] bet was added, like the bet in barishonah (“in the beginning”) Bereshit 13:4, for you find “at the beginning (rishonah) they travelled” Bamidbar 2:9. But were that the meaning, the bet would have been vocalized with a kamatz gadol. And there are those who say that [the word] bereshitalways [appears in] attached [form], where the meaning is “at the beginning of the evening, or the night, or the darkness”. But behold, they forgot “he saw a beginning reishit for himself” Devarim 33:21. And there are those who say that the bet is a subject without meaning. Their reason is that it is unthinkable that there is no beginning to the heavens and the earth. Therefore, it said “bereshit. But according to my opinion, it is indeed an attached form, like “At the beginning (bereshit) of the rule of Yehoyakim” Yirmiyahu 26:1. Now don’t wonder how can it be attached to a past tense verb [instead of a noun], for behold, thus: “At the beginning (techilat) spoke Hashem with Hoshea, and Hashem said to Hoshea” Hoshea 1:2, “The city (kiryat) where David camped” Yishayahu 29:1. The meaning [of this usage] will be explained for you in the second verse.

Interestingly we have other Biblical researchers making similar claims

If I should say anything but what was in the bible the cry of treason would be herd I will then go the Bible, Barasheet in the beginning, Analize the word in and through the head, an old Jew added the word Bath, it red the head one of the Gods, broat forth the Gods, I will transpose it in the english language. I want you to know & learn that the Holy Ghost knows somthing. The grand Council set at the head and contemplated the creation of the world, (Wiford Woodruff Journal)

----------------------------

Ask yourself this, if the very first word in the very first book of the Bible was added by a scribe what does that tell you? “Our sages have said that the [letter] bet was added, like the bet in barishonah (“in the beginning”)” incredible! What’s worse the very same Bible warns the Jews from adding of subtracting anything to the Bible, “Deuteronomy 4:2”.  Perfect example of “Tahrif”, adding letters to change its meaning is a grievous crime!

When Moses charged us with the Teaching As the heritage of the congregation of Jacob. (Deuteronomy 33:4

Talmudic commentary:

The Sages said to Rav Hamnuna: Rabbi Ami wrote four hundred Torah scrolls. Rav Hamnuna said to them: Perhaps he wrote the verse: “Moses commanded us the Torah”(Deuteronomy 33:4) (Talmud Bava Batra 14a:7)

----------------------


Shockingly the Talmud tells us “Rabbi Ami wrote the verse: “Moses commanded us the Torah”. This makes perfect sense, if you say the Torah was written by Moses, why then would he write “Moses commanded us the Torah”, that makes no sense. If we are to believe Moses was the sole author, then this statement would have been written by a second hand not the author himself. Also notice how “Rabbi Ami wrote four hundred Torah scrolls”. Its evident this rabbi was writing and adding his owns words.




In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
---------------------------
The actual Hebrew reads :be·re·shit e·lo·him; ba·ra which should translate as,
“Bereshit created God”, (including the heaven and the earth). One wonders why Yahweh said, no God was “FORMED” before him.

Formed??

"You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and trust me and understand that I am the One. Before me no God was formed, nor will there be one after me.(Isaiah 43:10)

Notice from the above text Yahweh is saying before him no God was "FORMED". Is that an indication that Yahweh was Formed? If so who formed him? And why use such a word. Surely Yahweh could of said before me there was no other God period.


-----------------------------



a god who was "FORMED" cannot be The God
"You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and trust me and understand that I am the One. Before me no God was formed, nor will there be one after me. (Isaiah 43:10)
Yahweh was "Formed" thus, he does not qualify to be The God. There is no difference between Yahweh and the gods of Hindus as they were all "Formed" by people

Ibn Ezra commentary
Before me, after me. According to some, before me means before the revelation on Sinai, and after me, after the revelation.15This explanation is intended to oppose the inference, which might be made from the words before me, after me, that God is not without beginning and end. But it is not at all necessary to depart from the literal meaning of the words: No God was before me, and none will be after me, because God is the first and last. The expression formed (נוצר) is applied here to the word God, in order to imply that a god besides Him can only be one formed by man. Shortsighted people think, that the expression formed used in reference to the Creator, slipped out of the mouth of the prophet; but this is by no means the case ; such critics do not conceive the true meaning of the verse.15aThat there is no God besides Him, not even one formed by Him.

According to Ibn Ezra a distinguished Jewish biblical commentator and philosophers of the Middle Ages states

"some people think, that the expression formed used in reference to the Creator, slipped out of the mouth of the prophet" (Ibn Ezra commentary Isaiah 43:10)

Ibn Ezra called them shortsighted who don't know the scripture. this embarrassment led many to question on why Yahweh used the word "Formed"
