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]
6. There came an ish haElohim (a man of G-d), having been sent from Hashem. His name was Yochanan.
7. This Yochanan came for an eidus (witness), that he might give solemn edut (testimony) about the Ohr, that kol Bnei Adam might have emunah through him.
