Wisdom is Torah – the Word – the Son of God – Through him all was created

The Rabbinic texts below speak about Wisdom as the first thing which God acquired, wisdom is spoken of as his companion, though which he created all things. The Rabbis speak of Wisdom being synonymous with the beginning/the Torah/the Word/Yud-starting point/the Fountain from which life comes and as Christians we find this concept to be identical to John 1:1, that the world was created through the Word/Son

Its now clear from Rabbinic texts that God was not alone in the beginning, the Torah/Word was always beside him and through the Torah/Word/Wisdom/Fountain all things came into existence.

The Jews call these the 10 emanations by which the world was created. They say these 10 are in the Primordial man (heavenly man) – Which is none other than the Son of God, the image/ and true reflection of God.

The following is a quote from Targum Neofiti 1 Genesis – Targum Neofiti is the largest of the Western Targumim on the Torah, or Palestinian Targumim.
