Chapter 1 Verse 1, begins by implying that there was a time before the earth existed, because the earth needed to be created.
1 Bereshis (in the Beginning) was the Dvar Hashem [YESHAYAH 55:11; BERESHIS 1:1] , and the Dvar Hashem was agav (along with) Hashem [MISHLE 8:30; 30:4] , and the Dvar Hashem was nothing less, by nature, than Elohim! [Psa 56:11 (10) ; Yn 17:5; Rev. 19:13]
2 Bereshis (in the Beginning) this Dvar Hashem was with Hashem [Prov 8:30] .
3 All things through him came to be, and without him came to be not one thing which came into being. [Ps 33:6,9; Prov 30:4]
4 In him was Chayyim (Life) and the Chayyim (Life) was the Ohr (Light) of Bnei Adam. [TEHILLIM 36:10 (9) ]
5 And the Ohr shines in the choshech [TEHILLIM 18:28] , and the choshech did not grasp it. [YESHAYAH 9:1]
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.
2 He was in the beginning with Elohim.
3 All came to be through Him, a and without Him not even one came to be that came to be.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
