It is a curious fact of the Book of Genesis that there is one word that literally cannot be translated. The word (in Hebrew) is spelled Aleph-Tav. In Genesis 1:1 it says "in the beginning God created (aleph-tav)the heavens and the earth."
Aleph-Tav in the Hebrew is a very strange word. Translated literally, it is A-Z...the Beginning and The End. But in Hebrew, this is a different type of word, it is an active noun. Since there is no such part of grammar in the English, there is no accurate way to translate it with any "flow" such as is normally translated. But it actually could be translated as "In the beginning, God created The Beginning and The End (which) created the heavens and the earth." However, this sounds very strange, so generally the word is not translated. In my opinion, it is THE WORD.
Note in the Revelation of John, in Revelation 1:11, the phrase "Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end" is used. From the Greek, Alpha-Omega translates to Aleph-Tav, or our own A-Z. Also note in St. John 1:1, "In the beginning was THE WORD..." This ONE word is Aleph-Tav; the word that is not translated in the English.
