✏Textual Notes✏:
{10} The phrase “B’resheet aytohi hwa miltha” breaks a most basic rule of Aramaic grammar by combining a feminine noun (‘miltha’) with two masculine verbs for “to be” (‘aytohi, hwa’). This is unheard of in Aramaic literature other than right here in this passage and in 1 John. This shows YHWH has male and female “images/spirits” even though YHWH remains a He. It may also be a midrash on Isaiah 11:1-2, which describes the Spirit of YHWH descending on [The] Messiah using both masculine and feminine suffixes. This is not something easily translated, let alone when it occurs within the first four words.
{11} “Miltha” has no direct English equivalent. It can mean ‘Word’, ‘Vibration’, ‘Revelation’, ‘Manifestation’, ‘Instance’, ‘Emanation’, ‘Incantation’ or ‘Substance’ among other things. In this context, it may best be left untranslated. In Ancient Galilean Aramaic, the spelling of this word is instead, “Milta”
{12} “Alaha”, or “Aloha” is Aramaic, basically meaning “The Mighty One”, “The Divine One”, or “The Mighty/Divine One”, which are the equivalents of Hebrew words like “Eloah” and “Elohim”.
{13} Fulfilling Messianic prophecy: [The] Messiah (ruler of Israel) to have origins of the ancient past Micah 5:2; Isaiah 48:16. Bear in mind that Micah is referring to the spiritual “Israel of Elohim,” those of the Kingdom of Heaven according to the circumcision of the heart.
{14} Literal Aramaic reading; “through his hands” indicates the Word as a creative force, like a sculptor working under the orders of a king. See Psalm 33:6; Isaiah 44:24; 66:1, 2.
{15} Plural here and next occurrence of the word, i.e., “life everlasting”.
{16} While Abba YHWH is in sole command of the creation process, the “his hands” refers to the Word from His mouth and that Word will become flesh as His Son. Since this is a form of Y’shua the “him” is in small letters. The same is done for John 1:10-12. Although in another sense it is also accurate to say that Y’shua is YHWH. See Luke 2:11 and 1 Corinthians 12:3.
{17} Aramaic wordplay. “Nohra b’chashokha menhar” (light in the darkness that shines) is a deliberate mirror-reversal of *menhar-nohra* (menorah), which marks the conception of the light of the world at Hanukkah. This puts the birth of [The] Messiah nine months from Hanukkah, during the fall feasts; many point to the first day of Feast of Tabernacles for the date of Y’shua’s birth. …
❏Verse 13❑. Those who had not been born of blood, nor of the desire of the flesh, nor of the desire of a man, but of The Alaha.
❏Verse 14❏. And the Miltha {28} became flesh and dwelt among us and we saw his glory, {29} the glory as
the ☛UNIQUELY☚ {30} who is from the Father who is full of grace and truth. …
❏Verse 18❑. Man has not ever seen The Alaha{33}. The Unique [One] (and ‘Heir’) [of] The Alaha, he who is in the bosom {35} of his Father, he has declared him.
✏Textual Notes✏:
{28} Miltha refers to the “Manifestation” of the Set-Apart Spirit within The Messiah. The physical body of The Messiah is not the Word of YHWH, but his words and actions demonstrate the Will and Word of YHWH, which upholds observance of His laws. …
{29} Isaiah 42:8; 48:11
{30} “Ekhadaya” is a beautiful term used among Eastern theologians and poets; it literally means “THE ONE” ( – Paul Younan). …
{33} The Heavenly Father, “MOST HIGH”: “Eil”.
{35} wordplay exists between “b’Awba” (in the bosom) and “d’Abuhi” (of His Father) ( – Paul Younan).
As we learned many years ago, Y'shua was thrusted (or "brought") forth from Yah's bosom. The "god" word used in many English Bibles is not always the problem as used... sometimes it is supposed to say "gods", "elohim", or "The Alahas". It has never been a secret that two entities were talking to Moses via the Burning Bush (though Charlton Heston may have not known it), however, it is not widely known. – this is just one example.
