Pastor, you’re Hebrew-wording us to death ;) Baruch Hashem! I see your mind is taking it all in. :)
I want to expand on how second-rate it is to learn the Hebrew Bible in English. We just read Genesis 1:1 in synagogues world-wide, every observant Jew (and even the non-observant who go with the motions anyway but sadly do not yet believe in the divinity of the Torah) for the 3,332nd time since Sinai— as I posted before, Jews count. We just read In the beginning G-d created... That English is a modernization of the old English, translated from Latin, and from Greek.
However you all to a man and woman read the first word wrong.
In Hebrew it is BiRaYSHiT bara Elokim et ha shamayim v’et haaretz. But the very first word is not “In the beginning” it is “In the beginning OF” The T consonant at the end demands a noun comes next. Instead we get “bara” [3rd person past tense ‘created’]
In the beginning OF [OF WHAT!] G-d created the heaven and the earth.
Without even the explanation, what I want to bring out is you don’t even know there is a problem. There are thousands of such “mistakes” of course. They’d all have a squiggly red, blue, or green line for a spelling, context, or grammatical suggestion. Does G-d not speak the Holy Tongue good? (that’s a joke...”well” is what I meant.)???
No, these are the clues that G-d inserted into the Torah and we know them because A) We understand Hebrew, and B) they were explained by Moses and the sages (who sit in Moses’ seat) and they have oceans and oceans of depth in explanation— and you don’t even know there is a question.
There are other points of this recent post of yours that deserve answers (though you are looking for JESUS! as the answer to all) but as I said, you don’t even know the questions.
I’ll try to get to more, but I wanted everyone to see the tradition for itself. Here is a boy of 6 learning to read the Holy Tongue. He’ll eventually understand what he’s reading (English is his mother language) but when he understands Hebrew grammar in 4 years, he will have the question on BiRaYSHiT and he will be taught the same answers given for 3,332.

Ezekiel 46:1
Thus said the Sovereign; The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
When do children learn this?
1. Day of New Moon- Gate Open
2. 1st work Day- Gate shut
3. 2nd work Day- Gate shut
4. 3rd work Day- Gate shut
5. 4th work Day- Gate shut
6. 5th work Day- Gate shut
7. 6th work Day- Gate shut
8. 7th Day Sabbath- Gate Open
It would seem Ezekiel was taught to count differently from the Sovereign than how people count today.
Who knew counting could be a stumbling block over those proud that they count..
1+6+1.
The Sovereign’s count.
Which if expanded out another ‘week’, makes Day 14th the 6th work day.
Go figure, Passover is the Day the Lamb finished His Work. And according to the Sovereign, it’s His 6th and final work day.
According to Islam,Judaism and Christianity, Rome’s Friday is the Sovereign’s 6th Day.
According to Ezekiel and Torah,Passver is.
I wonder if a boy of 6, in any language, could see the discrepancy
The leaders in religion apparently haven’t gotten that far in their studies..
Or inherited lies from the start of their studies.
No, I refer you to Robert Alter's "The five books of Moses" - which starts off Genesis 1 as
When god began to create heaven and earth, and the earth then, was welter and waste and darkness over the deep and God's breath/spirit/wind hovering over the waters, God said, "Let there be light"Let's look at some contrasts

| 1. | In the beginning God created heaven, and earth. | In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. | In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. | בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ׃ | .1 |
| 2. | And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters. | The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. | And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. | וְהָאָרֶץ הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ וְחֹשֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵי תְהֹום וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים מְרַחֶפֶת עַל־פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם׃ | .2 |
| 3. | And God said: Be light made. And light was made. | Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. | And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. | וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יְהִי אֹור וַיְהִי־אֹור׃ | .3 |
