Title:

Sermons and homilies on passages from Genesis

Scope & Content:

Sermons and homilies on the Pentateuch: Genesis. Written or collected by Hakham Ezra Reuben Dangoor (HED).

Or 17119 (1): On the opening phrase of the Bible, Genesis 1:1, ‘In the beginning [of] God created’ / בראשית ברא אלהים. Why Onkelos translates בראשית = ‘in the beginning’ with the Aramaic בקדמין rather than בקדמיתא, from Mishpaṭ ger / משפט גר; defence of the view that the opening word of the Bible, bereshit / בראשית, is not in the grammatical ‘construct state’, viz. it does not mean ‘in the beginning of’, but simply ‘in the beginning’, from Mikhlal yofi / מכלל יופי; the connotation of the Hebrew word bara / ברא = ‘He created’, from op. cit.; semantic connotation of the opening word of the Bible, bereshit / בראשית, viz. ‘beginning’ in the sense of ‘first’, i.e. ‘choice, good’, from Ḥomat anakh / חומת אנך (by חיד”א); semantic connotation of the third word of the Bible, viz. the divine epithat Elohim / אלהים (often translated as “God”), from op. cit.; essay on the theology implicit in ‘God created’, unattributed.
