The first verse of the Bible, we all know it:

(Genesis 1:1)

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

It’s 10 words in the English, 7 words in the Hebrew.

BUT- did you know that there’s an extra word in the Hebrew version of that verse which is not present in any English translation of Genesis 1:1? And that’s because it’s not a word.

It says “in the beginning God”

And then there’s a word that’s not really a word

“Created the heavens and the earth”

And this word which is not a word only shows up in two chapters of the Bible. Genesis chapter 1 and Zechariah chapter 12.

So…what is the word that’s not a word?

You’ll find out today on the God and His Prophets podcast.
