Yes, thanks! You are correct.

Moving from English, through Greek or Aramaic, back to the Hebrew is enlightening, and then adding the paleo-Hebrew pictographic letters and concepts is even more enlightening! I am not a Hebrew scholar by any stretch but a serious student of the Word and find it very helpful to include this perspective.
I was just in Kenya and explained something of the letters of the word Beresheit: “in the beginning” The first letter the beit, represents a house, or a tent. The women’s quarters are in the center and the man’s quarters are near the door. The audience laughed but my translator didn’t explain why until later. Seems in Kenya, the general understanding is that a man is ALWAYS to be nearest the door…so I think they had a little sense of connection with our Israelite ancestors there.
