Abstract

This essay argues that the vocalization of the very first word of Gen. 1.1 in the Masoretic Text (MT), bĕrēʾšȋt, which is often thought to be in error in some way, may instead be the result of exegetical activity. Specifically, in light of the well-attested tradition that links Wisdom with creation both within the Bible and without, it is possible that bĕrēʾšȋt in MT Gen. 1.1 participates in the line of interpretation that ciphers Wisdom as “Beginning” (rēʾšȋt) in light of Prov. 8.22. If so, the MT of Gen. 1.1 is not a grammatical error to be corrected, but an exegetical cross-reference, referring readers to Wisdom’s role in creation as known, inter alia, in Proverbs 8.

bĕ-rē - šît，“以智慧”，创世记第1.1章(马太福音)

本文认为，共济会文本（MT）中第1.1代的第一个单词bĕrēʾš523; t的发音，通常被认为在某种程度上是错误的，可能是训诫活动的结果。具体而言，鉴于《圣经》内外将智慧与创造联系在一起的公认传统，MT Gen.1.1中的bĕrē。8.22.如果是这样的话，Gen 1.1的MT并不是一个需要纠正的语法错误，而是一个训诫性的交叉参考，将读者引向智慧在创造中的作用，尤其是在箴言8中。
