The first occurrence.
In the beginning created God Elohiym את the heaven and את the earth. Gen 1:1
(In the year that King Uzziah died, and I saw את the Lord Adonai sitting on a throne … Isa 6:1)
The primitive root.
Strong’s H853 את aith, an untranslated particle indicating a reflexive: “In the beginning created God Elohiym את Himself …” The aleph-tav is from Strong’s H226 oth, a concrete noun meaning, “mark, sign;” from Strong’s H225 אות uwth, a primitive root meaning, “to consent.” The 3-letter root is aleph + vav + tav.
aleph א = the ox head, thus strength, power, leader
vav ו = the tent peg, thus add, secure, hook
tav ת = crossed sticks, thus mark, sign, signal, monument
The story: As an ox (aleph) is driven toward (vav, as a tent peg is driven into the ground to secure the tent) a landmark (tav) in order to keep the plow furrow straight, so a powerful security (aleph + vav) marks (tav) the agreement of two parties to the covenant.
Thank you for posting this.
I came across “aith” as I was looking at Saul’s response to David, as the crowds cheered for David.
Bless you,

Hello Erick, I appreciate your kind comment, please do come back again! –
When Lord God ( Gen: 2:4, entered into His own Creation for the purpose of Mankind’s redemption, He is quoted as saying, “I” am Alpha Omega, for which the Pharacees tried to assassinate Yeshua “on the spot”! Why? Because Lord God is: The Son and the Voice of God that dictated every word of the original Hebrew text! H853 is Lord God’s signature…After-all, Lord God is truly, “A”leph and “T”av, “A”lpha “O”mega,! “F”irst and “L”ast
So in the above example of Gen 1:1, the “Himself” is denoted by ayth? And I understand that ayth is 3rd person pural, does this denote that Elohiym is pural?
I understand that the language in Gen represents that fact, and I didn’t know if this is where. Thank you
