What this article established
Tanakh speaks constantly of the word of Hashem as God’s speech, command, revelation, and effective action. It can even personify divine speech poetically. None of that, by itself, turns “the word” into a second divine person who becomes flesh. John’s Logos claim must be tested as an added ontological step, not smuggled into the Hebrew phrase.
- Verified: Tanakh speaks of the word of Hashem as divine speech, command, revelation, and effective action.
- Verified: biblical language can personify divine attributes and speech.
