Let us explore the mysteries of this verse in great detail. The ancient system of assigning numerical values to the letters of the Hebrew/Greek alphabets is called the "STANDARD" values. This is Genesis 1:1 in Hebrew: בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ׃ If you take the word for “son” in Hebrew (בר) and the word for “I make” (אשית) and put them together, you have the first word of the Scriptures: “in the beginning” (בראשית).John 1:1-3 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The English translation of Genesis 1:1-5 follows, as well as a comparative Key of Hebrew and English. Every Hebrew letter has a numerical value and every Hebrew word/phrase has a numerical value (by simply adding up the letter values in a given Hebrew word/phrase in the Bible).

Note that when the golden candlestick is divided according to the above 4-3 divisional schema, we find that the first three branches plus the shaft constitutes 57.1428571% (4 / 7 = 0.571428571) of the entire beaten work; while the remaining three branches constitute 42.857143% of the entire beaten work (3 / 7 = 0.42857143). ב וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ, וְחֹשֶׁךְ, עַל-פְּנֵי תְהוֹם; וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים, מְרַחֶפֶת עַל-פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם. 25:31-40).

Zerubbabel is the pen-name of the founder of this ministry. When the seven words are arranged according to their seven lamps, we just so happen to get these exact same percentages when we divide the verse by the total number letters in the words corresponding to their lamps, as we do when we divide the golden candlestick by its lamps. 1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

In Scripture the word is only used with God as the subject (in the simple tense in Hebrew). Obviously, this could not have been a coincidence, and it further proves that the seven Hebrew words of Genesis 1:1 have been divinely patterned according to the seven arms of the golden candlestick. Genesis 1:3. Genesis 1:1, KJV: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." It is amazing that the Bible does not start with some philosophical argument about the existence of God.

Genesis 1:1. The Torah, the first five books of the Bible, in Ancient Hebrew and with a transliteration. What is significant about that? The word can mean bringing into existence or initiating something new. The central shaft is a perfect hybrid of the two opposing yet complimentary sides that it joins together into one body, and it is therefore colored purple to convey this blended nature (blue + red = purple).1 This very meticulous pattern and peculiar numbering system will begin to make a lot more sense when we start to examine the seven days of creation in a future discussion. Genesis 1-26b. As previously stated, the branches on the left and the branches on the right of the shaft are of opposite natures, which means that the two members of any given pair of branches are both antithetical yet complimentary to one another in nature.2 For illustrative purposes we might revert to our previous male & female analogy and liken them unto married couples—with the branch to the right of the shaft representing the male nature, and the branch to the left of the shaft representing the female nature. This pertains to the 4-3 divisional schema which multiple books of the Bible testify was inherent to the golden candlestick’s design. Not only that, but it provides yet another witness which affirms that the 4-3 divisional schema is inherent to the candlestick’s design. Genesis 1:19. Genesis 1:4. Indeed, it is the fourth word of the sentence–the Hebrew particle אֵת, who is entirely to blame for this deviation from the expected arrangement of the seven words on the seven lamps, for it occupies the column corresponding to lamp 7 (rather than lamp 4) of the candlestick.

It is thus as if the words corresponding to lamps 1, 2, 3, and 7 are flowing in accordance with their natural orientation, while the words corresponding to lamps 4, 5, and 6 have been “grafted in” to the opposite side of the golden candlestick contrary to their nature (Rom. Genesis 1:14 forms the sun, moon, and stars; Genesis 1:20 fishes and fowls; Genesis 1:24 cattle, wild beasts, and creeping things; Genesis 1:26 creates man in his own image, blesses him; Genesis 1:29 grants the fruits of the earth for food. At one point, one of the students in the class asked, “What does it say in the Greek?” The teacher’s response was, “The same thing it says in the English.” His point was not that there is no difference between Greek and English; only that in that passage the English gave an accurate and adequate presentation of the Greek. There is one final thing I want to discuss about the golden candlestick in relation to the seven Hebrew words of Genesis 1:1.

The end result is one unified meaningful statement: Taken together, it is blatantly obvious that the אֵת particle corresponds to the central shaft of the golden candlestick. ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃, בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ׃, בראשית 1:1 Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex, בראשית 1:1 Hebrew OT: WLC (Consonants Only), בראשית 1:1 Paleo-Hebrew OT: WLC (Font Required).

The seven Hebrew words of Genesis 1:1 have been deliberately fashioned by God in the likeness of the golden candlestick described in Exod. As we can clearly see here, when arranged according to their assigned lamps—the seven Hebrew words of Genesis 1:1 testify of the 4-3 divisional schema that is inherent to the golden candlestick’s design. The traditional translation of Genesis 1:1 is well known, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” It is called the traditional translation because it has been the dominant rendering of Genesis 1:1 since the Greek Septuagint, the first major translation of the Hebrew Bible (into Greek), produced by Jewish scholars in the third century BC.
