The Mishnah and Talmud have a way of giving a point of view, but can misdirect us from יהוָֹה. What’s the big picture of the book of Genesis and what does it foreshadow? The B'resheet is much more than just a beginning? It contains story upon story with renewed beginnings of hope. Followed by continuous falling into sin and starting all over all over with the similar story of a new beginning and renewed hope of a marriage covenant relationship leading us back to GOD. We are looking at Hebrew circular reasoning of a beginning resulting in its conclusion, but it is not the end for it is a new beginning without seemingly without end. Joseph’s death in a pit and in prison is not death, but a new beginning of life and renewed relationships with God, family and marriage.
