IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.

3) The Word of God (The Logos).

-a) The Hebrew Language.

YHWH - the I AM, the self-existent one, revealed himself in the Creation.
The First Word revealed to Adam the First Man speaks of the Creator - in Hebrew the ancient language which has preserved the historical revelation it means "IN THE BEGINNING" or "AT THE BEGINNING". This word can be written in the latin alphabet as BeREShITh. BeRE is then repeated (with vowels thus: BaRa) and means HE CREATED. The Creator is then named as ELOHIM referring to plural majesty, strength, and power. The written Hebrew preserved for us today maintains the grammar and vocalisation of the beginning of revelation to Man.
