Genesis Ch 1 Reading

In this episode of Bible with Jack, Jack begins a new series reading through the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelations, starting with Genesis chapter 1. He shares insights from his studies, noting that the Hebrew text more accurately translates as "when God began to create" rather than "in the beginning," and explains how Genesis 1 uses two different Hebrew words for "light" - one referring to spiritual light (auror) and another to physical light (ma'or).
