Therefore Jehovah and the Elohim are the same. It is Hebrew that recognizes that Elohim is plural.

I have been trying to learn a little bit of Hebrew for a couple of years now and I’ve run across a lot of really good studies, but this is the best by far that I’ve had the pleasure of seeing. Thanks very much. Continue your good work shalom.
i loved this video! you do a great job at explaining each word thoroughly. in the future i'd love to see you cover sections from more difficult books of the tanakh to translate like lamentations or isaiah!
Thank you for the comment! I do plan to go into the more difficult parts, like Psalm, Ezekiel, Isaiah and more. It might take some time to get there, though. Please stay tuned!
This was great. I love seeing the Hebrew and how it translates. Your explanation is very clear and helps us non-Hebrew speakers. It also helps us to understand that very few non-English languages will translate directly into the equivalent language that we would write.
Thank you. You seem to have rare skill and balance. I am a native American English speaker without any special linguistic skills. I think you have found the right level at least for me. Please continue. Again, thank you!
Magnificent job, thank you. I am studying the bible and im learning the hebrew alphabet, so this video really comes from “the skies”. Most Hebrew courses around are made by non-native speakers and their pronunciation is very deficient. For example they usually pronounce the Hebrew R exactly as the American R, which is very disappointing. They also miss the fact thar the aleph is actually a glottal stop in many cases. I hope you can make more emphasis in pronunciation in future videos, because it’s not easy to find the right pronunciation around and less in the biblical context. I also hope that you can mention more contrasts between the old vs. modern Hebrew. I find it quite instructive. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your lovely comment! It's funny you wrote about pronunciation, because this is something I'll talk about in my upcoming video, which is in the making right now. Please stay tuned!
I have been seeing several people discussing the question of the English translations of the first 3 verses of Genesis. Michael Heiser and James Tabor to name a couple. I am finding this explanation very useful and so far, in concert with what they have said.
Thanks for doing this series, I just started learning Hebrew today. I only really know something about how to make the sounds, but everything you explain is fascinating.

Some of the translation problems are the result of antiquated English. Long ago, "the heavens" referred to the sky, but "Heaven" (capital H) referred to the dwelling place of G-d. "The earth" or "earth" referred to the ground, specifically soil/dirt, but "Earth" (capital E) referred to the planet. This was truly fascinating. I can't wait to learn more. Very grateful to you for providing this!

Congratulations and many thanks! Extraordinary video that has added gratefully to my initial steps in Hebrew! God bless you!
Thank you ABA for Illan and family. This site gives us additional insight to His Word. Especially how to speak it properly. We are going around different churches and teaching Basic Biblical Hebrew and one of our teachers have taught over 500 children in the Philippines ! Many Filipinos are praying for your h'aterz.

Thanks so much! I am from Hong Kong and only started learning some basic Hebrew lately with the aim to read the Bible in its original language. Your video is super helpful and fun!

Hi Llan, Shalom 🙏 I'm looking forward to watching your channel grow and participating in the learning modules as you present them. I'm currently studying /learning the Hebrew language and understand that there are many layers to work through. Having several transliterated versions as well as the JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH תנייך ; I'm keen to gain a more in depth understanding in this amazing language. As a note: I've picked up in my research (please don't ask me to recall where) that the use of את throughout scripture is to remind us that Yehoshua Ha Mashiach; being the א and the ת is the beginning and the end; "the first and the last". Isaiah 48:12 "I AM the א and the ת" says the LORD. Revelation 1:8 Please keep these highly informative studies coming, we all need to keep in mind; we are one flock with ONE Shepherd. God bless 🙏 💝
This is extremely good. Your way of teaching is clear and methodical, easy to comprehend. It is also helpful to remember that the whole "creative" discussion in chapter 1 is written from the point of view of an observer(s) on earth (had they been there), and having no knowlege whatsoever of the processes involved. Thus an overview of what took place in simple terms rather than a scientific dissertation.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for! To connect the original text to my studies. I’m a KJV gal as my source, I only use other English translations as references. They take out or replace verses, completely changing the meanings…I love diving deep into the scriptures. Please keep doing these videos 💯❤
Thank You! I appreciate your sharing 😊 You interpret better then the scholars. I am understanding and getting a better perspective on what GODs Word is really saying. This is true Bible Study 🥰
Thank you so much for starting this channel, so that more people, me including, can learn the Hebrew language. Just a little side note, languages that are written from right to left also include Chinese, that’s how it’s used to be, and can still be written that way if one chooses to. But yes, since the world followed western standards, since 60 years ago, we mostly write from left right😅.
Thanks for the comment and your kind words! Arabic is a major language with ~380M speakers and Urdu has 230M speakers. Both are written from right to left.
@@TheBibleInHebrew I think the OP, in the final sentence, meant 'we' as in 'we Chinese' rather than 'we humans'. Btw, the word 'sky' can certainly be plural in English. It can be singular or plural, depending on the speaker. 'The skies are blue' is perfect English, as much or more than 'the sky is blue'. 'In the beginning G-d created out of nothing the skies and the ground' is how I will think of Genesis 1:1 from now on! 😊
How beautiful to understand the meaning of these words for Jesus said I am the beginning and the end, first and last. These words make much deeper sense and the purpose of choosing those words. Makes me fall deeper in love with Jesus 🙏❤️🥰
5:54 if anyone is wondering. The "of" came from a term called "construct chain." It occurs when two nouns stand together. 1. Head (noun) 2. With the definite article "the" prefixed to the word Government (noun) It reads, "head of the government" or "the head of the government."
This was great! I like how you broke it down using simple words. I had a thought about אֵת (et); since it is spelled with the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, it could be translated as "all". Also, if the vowel chosen for B' is traditionally "Be", but with a change to the vowel it could be "Ba", meaning "when" (this coming from a Goya, who is definitely NOT a Hebrew scholar), making the opening "When God began". This would (to me) make the beginning sound more indefinite, indicating the external nature of God. So, I encourage you to continue through the Torah. I think you could make even B'midbar and Vayikra more interesting as "Etz Hayyim Torah and Commentary" did for me. I'm just a simple Christian trying to rediscover my Jewish roots.
I read your comments with interest. I am a Muslim male from Azerbaijan. Your thoughts about et is indeed reasonable. I was confused when I read 1-1 to Jews on TikTok, they said it is not "when God began to create" but "in the beginning" in a humiliating way. The issue is that I read it from US printed Torah in 1962 which is for sure was printed by approval of Jews Publication Society of the USA. The same book had footnote where I read to them "or in the beginning". Still they were not happy with that and blamed me that as if it is even not the Torah at all. Now, however, your explanation confirms one more time that the translation as "When God began to create" has the right to exist or me be the true translation. Because when we say "in the beginning God created" we may understand God was not there before He created. But when we say "When God began to create" we can clearly understand God was there before He started to create the Earth and Heaven. Now your interpretation about et as first and last letter of Hebrew then it might indeed can be understood as "all". Well I wrote this to your goodness because I found you as a good Gentlemen. Wa Aleykum salam.
The middle word in the middle of the 7 words, את . Aleph and teth, is the central word. The most important. The Alpha and the Omega, the first and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the whole Torah. It is the Mashiah who links heaven and earth, in the 2nd part of the verse. Thanks for the great teaching 😊
You can also refer to the sky as skies (more often in the daytime) or heavens (more often in the night) in English, and using plural verb firms, eg the skies were blue, the stars shone in the heavens. I'm loving this and looking forward to watching more. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly.
That's amazing. I am sure it's no different for native English speakers to pick up and read English just fine. I mean to emphasize that I percieve a great hardship in looking at Hebrew, because it's not native to me. When you can read it easily, I find that amazing. Thank you for being willing to teach Hebrew.
Hi Ilan, I really enjoyed your video. One thing about “et;” Et isn’t useless; it identifies an object for the action of the verb. The reason it’s useful has to do with what you mentioned about the order of subject and verb in biblical Hebrew as well as the fact that biblical Hebrew didn’t break up sentences in the way that we are used to (this is true both in written and oral contexts). This flexibility of word order can be very poetic, but the object of the verb can become obscure. Et defines the object and allows it to be placed anywhere in the sentence - and still understood as the object. For example, you could take the first sentence of the Tanach and write it: Et haShamayim bara Elokeem beResheet v’et haretz - or other variations - and they could still be readily understood; this is not the case in a language like English. Not that this sounds better, but it is one of the great beauties of Hebrew that sentences can be constructed very flexibly for emphasis and poetic impact and the object is not mistaken for a verb.
Thanks for the comment. There are some examples in the Bible where 'et' is useful to understand the meaning, but they are few and far between. In most cases, it can be dropped without any major impact on comprehension. Also note that in Genesis 1:1, which has normal syntax, there are two 'et', so it's double redundancy.
As I listened to the explanation of Et, it reminded me of o (wo) in Japanese which also identifies the object and allows flexible word order. Thanks for that great first lesson of the first of the Bible, and for the nice follow about Hebrew grammar from ericgoldstein4734.
Its a very interesting clarification of the biblical verses. I am eagerly waiting for the more scriptures to be explained. I wil give thanks to the Almighty god. For the lesson. Love from india / Bangalore ❤

Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying to read the bible in Hebrew by myself, but it is very, very difficult. Videos like this help a ton with understanding the alphabet, pronunciation, grammar and of course, the most important thing, the meaning! I am always shocked at how different the meaning can be compared to most English translations... 🤔

All I've learned is a great respect for our translators. The complexity of attempting to faithfully translate this is astronomical!
You are totally right!
Do you mean complex as in a verb, adjective or noun sense? It's not complex in a proper perspective. Common sense.
@@loriebeaton2337If all it takes is common sense, then we wouldn't need scholars to translate the Bible.

Keep up the good work in the Lord.
Thanks so much!
I am from Hong Kong and only started learning some basic Hebrew lately with the aim to read the Bible in its original language.
Your video is super helpful and fun!
Wow, Hong Kong!
I've been there almost 30 years ago.
Thank you for the comment!
Genesis 1:1

This is amazing. Just wow. Thank you for this informative video. We want more. God bless you and your team. ❤
Hi Llan, Shalom 🙏
I'm looking forward to watching your channel grow and participating in the learning modules as you present them.
I'm currently studying /learning the Hebrew language and understand that there are many layers to work through.
Having several transliterated versions as well as the JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH תנייך ; I'm keen to gain a more in depth understanding in this amazing language.
As a note: I've picked up in my research (please don't ask me to recall where) that the use of את throughout scripture is to remind us that Yehoshua Ha Mashiach; being the א and the ת is the beginning and the end; "the first and the last". Isaiah 48:12
"I AM the א and the ת" says the LORD. Revelation 1:8
Please keep these highly informative studies coming, we all need to keep in mind; we are one flock with ONE Shepherd.
God bless 🙏 💝
This is extremely good. Your way of teaching is clear and methodical, easy to comprehend.
It is also helpful to remember that the whole "creative" discussion in chapter 1 is written from the point of view of an observer(s) on earth (had they been there), and having no knowlege whatsoever of the processes involved. Thus an overview of what took place in simple terms rather than a scientific dissertation.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge of our language from the Torah.
Thank you for watching, and the lovely comment!
Wonderful explination and lesson, much appreciated. I look forward to learning more from your videos.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for! To connect the original text to my studies. I’m a KJV gal as my source, I only use other English translations as references. They take out or replace verses, completely changing the meanings…I love diving deep into the scriptures. Please keep doing these videos 💯❤
Liked and subscribed. I'm teaching myself Hebrew and I printed out Genesis 1-3. This is excellent review for my understanding.
Thank you for explaining the first verse of the Bible in Hebrew. It was very informative, and I look forward to the next video.
God bless you sir for your time to teach is not wasted you are a blessing to many.
Thank you for your kind words!
Thank You! I appreciate your sharing 😊 You interpret better then the scholars. I am understanding and getting a better perspective on what GODs Word is really saying. This is true Bible Study 🥰
You are just genius! Helping me a lot with my study of messianic studies and my biblical Hebrew class. Thank you man ❤
So so cool, I wish the internet, YT, and this presenter had all been together 50 yrs ago, for sure I would have gone on to learn Hebrew!!!!!
Greetibgs from East of Pretoria, South Africa. What a privilege to have listened to this episode. Shalom

What a great video concept executed in such a nice and assailable way! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you so much for the comment!
WOW ! I'm happy i found your channel. Thank you for your efforts. Cheers
Thank you
Greatful and appreciative to your kind teachings .
God bless us all
I want to inform you , end times is now my friend . The anti christ is near enough to be exposed . Satan will be thrown out of heaven any minute now .
Thank you so much for this video. It’s great! Will definitely be going through your whole series.
Thank you, brother. You are a fantastic teacher of this wonderful subject. Bless you.
Very interesting and instructive video
Thank you so much. I love the way you share your knowledge. I look forward to learning from you.
Thank you so much for starting this channel, so that more people, me including, can learn the Hebrew language.
Just a little side note, languages that are written from right to left also include Chinese, that’s how it’s used to be, and can still be written that way if one chooses to. But yes, since the world followed western standards, since 60 years ago, we mostly write from left right😅.
Thanks for the comment and your kind words!
Arabic is a major language with ~380M speakers and Urdu has 230M speakers.
Both are written from right to left.
@@TheBibleInHebrew I think the OP, in the final sentence, meant 'we' as in 'we Chinese' rather than 'we humans'.
Btw, the word 'sky' can certainly be plural in English. It can be singular or plural, depending on the speaker. 'The skies are blue' is perfect English, as much or more than 'the sky is blue'.
'In the beginning G-d created out of nothing the skies and the ground' is how I will think of Genesis 1:1 from now on! 😊
HalleluYAH
❤🎉
Thank you for teaching
Please do more Video's
May the Lord Jesus bless you
Jesus preached but he was a man of deed and action. I really like this blog very much but it in no heavens gate at all.
May Lord Shiva bless you!
@@rocketmangenesisJesus lives,shiva is dead. There is no God besides the Lord God of the Bible.
Hopefully you can do the whole old testament like this ❤
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
I pray he will, that would be AMAZING!
How beautiful to understand the meaning of these words for Jesus said I am the beginning and the end, first and last. These words make much deeper sense and the purpose of choosing those words. Makes me fall deeper in love with Jesus 🙏❤️🥰
5:54 if anyone is wondering. The "of" came from a term called "construct chain." It occurs when two nouns stand together.
1. Head (noun)
2. With the definite article "the" prefixed to the word Government (noun)
It reads, "head of the government" or "the head of the government."
Thank you for this, I’m really excited to journey along with this.
This was very clear and good. I wish somebody would do this in Greek for the new testament.
This is brilliant! Thank you so much, IIan! Clear and easy to understand.
Thank you!
This was great! I like how you broke it down using simple words. I had a thought about אֵת (et); since it is spelled with the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, it could be translated as "all". Also, if the vowel chosen for B' is traditionally "Be", but with a change to the vowel it could be "Ba", meaning "when" (this coming from a Goya, who is definitely NOT a Hebrew scholar), making the opening "When God began". This would (to me) make the beginning sound more indefinite, indicating the external nature of God. So, I encourage you to continue through the Torah. I think you could make even B'midbar and Vayikra more interesting as "Etz Hayyim Torah and Commentary" did for me. I'm just a simple Christian trying to rediscover my Jewish roots.
I read your comments with interest. I am a Muslim male from Azerbaijan. Your thoughts about et is indeed reasonable. I was confused when I read 1-1 to Jews on TikTok, they said it is not "when God began to create" but "in the beginning" in a humiliating way. The issue is that I read it from US printed Torah in 1962 which is for sure was printed by approval of Jews Publication Society of the USA. The same book had footnote where I read to them "or in the beginning". Still they were not happy with that and blamed me that as if it is even not the Torah at all. Now, however, your explanation confirms one more time that the translation as "When God began to create" has the right to exist or me be the true translation. Because when we say "in the beginning God created" we may understand God was not there before He created. But when we say "When God began to create" we can clearly understand God was there before He started to create the Earth and Heaven. Now your interpretation about et as first and last letter of Hebrew then it might indeed can be understood as "all". Well I wrote this to your goodness because I found you as a good Gentlemen. Wa Aleykum salam.
@@csurabdullayev1172 Thank you for your kind words. Peace be to you, my fellow seeker of the Holy One.
thank you for this enlightenment. when will you make a follow up?
I'm working on it.
Hope to post the next installment soon!
very interesting and lightening the verse also for Hebrew natives speakers
See from a place with wild boars and air pollution. See where you can really get to. Great explanation and very nice editing.
The middle word in the middle of the 7 words, את . Aleph and teth, is the central word. The most important. The Alpha and the Omega, the first and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the whole Torah. It is the Mashiah who links heaven and earth, in the 2nd part of the verse. Thanks for the great teaching 😊
You can also refer to the sky as skies (more often in the daytime) or heavens (more often in the night) in English, and using plural verb firms, eg the skies were blue, the stars shone in the heavens.
I'm loving this and looking forward to watching more. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly.
Great! Please, continue making videos of the Bible in Hebrew that are exceptional. Shalom.
Thank you for this sir. You're explanation can easily be grasp indeed you are a great teacher.
This is great. I really enjoyed it, and learned a lot. Thanks for this!
Awesome! What a blessing!You are a great teacher!Please, keep making more videos.
Thank you so much for your warm words!
I'm working now on my next video.
Thank you!! This study is exactly what I have been looking for ❤
this is really well done. please keep it up
אילן, יישר כוח!
נהנתי מאד לשמוע את ההסברים המדויקים שלך.
אתה מנגיש את התורה ,בצורה נעימה ומעניינת.
רחל גורה, אמא של אסף.
תודה רבה רחל!
ממש מעריך את התגובה שלך!
That's amazing.
I am sure it's no different for native English speakers to pick up and read English just fine. I mean to emphasize that I percieve a great hardship in looking at Hebrew, because it's not native to me. When you can read it easily, I find that amazing.
Thank you for being willing to teach Hebrew.
What a wonderful idea!
Nice to hear the original words.
Please go on to explain also the deeper meaning, as there are 7 words ecc.
Thank you for this. I will be watching your videos.
תודה רבה from Ireland - please keep doing these
Hi Ilan, I really enjoyed your video. One thing about “et;” Et isn’t useless; it identifies an object for the action of the verb. The reason it’s useful has to do with what you mentioned about the order of subject and verb in biblical Hebrew as well as the fact that biblical Hebrew didn’t break up sentences in the way that we are used to (this is true both in written and oral contexts). This flexibility of word order can be very poetic, but the object of the verb can become obscure. Et defines the object and allows it to be placed anywhere in the sentence - and still understood as the object. For example, you could take the first sentence of the Tanach and write it: Et haShamayim bara Elokeem beResheet v’et haretz - or other variations - and they could still be readily understood; this is not the case in a language like English. Not that this sounds better, but it is one of the great beauties of Hebrew that sentences can be constructed very flexibly for emphasis and poetic impact and the object is not mistaken for a verb.
Thanks for the comment.
There are some examples in the Bible where 'et' is useful to understand the meaning, but they are few and far between.
In most cases, it can be dropped without any major impact on comprehension.
Also note that in Genesis 1:1, which has normal syntax, there are two 'et', so it's double redundancy.
As I listened to the explanation of Et, it reminded me of o (wo) in Japanese which also identifies the object and allows flexible word order.
Thanks for that great first lesson of the first of the Bible, and for the nice follow about Hebrew grammar from ericgoldstein4734.
Its a very interesting clarification of the biblical verses. I am eagerly waiting for the more scriptures to be explained. I wil give thanks to the Almighty god. For the lesson.
Love from india / Bangalore ❤
Genesis 1 is ELOHIM (Lucifer and the fallen angels).
They made this realm.
They made man in their image. (tares)
Man is an idol, a trap to hunt angels.
Genesis 2:7 the Lord God forms His representative in their system. (wheat)
One Gospel:
Gospel (GOOD ANGEL) of Reconciliation.
Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom
to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself.
We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) kept in DNA chains of darkness.
If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever.
Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of ELOHIM(gods).
REPENT FALLEN ANGELS.
Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying to read the bible in Hebrew by myself, but it is very, very difficult.
Videos like this help a ton with understanding the alphabet, pronunciation, grammar and of course, the most important thing, the meaning! I am always shocked at how different the meaning can be compared to most English translations... 🤔
Thank you for the comment!
It is the most heartwarming I've read.

I have been trying in vain to see your next video, and I’ve come to realize there is no next video. I hope that I’m wrong about that. But if I’m correct, would you please do another video on the next part of Genesis one I will certainly be a faithful follower.Bob Bates
I'm am working on my second video right now.
It will be uploaded as soon as it's ready.
Wow! Looking forward to verse 5. Thank you very much.
Thanks. Keep going with wonderful content. Awesome. 😮🎉
Thank you!
I will never stop blessing Israel. I love Israel. I love Jewish people.. may God bless you.. ❤
