Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. [kjv]

… אלהים … ברא אלהים לעשות [he]

και ηυλογησεν ο θεος την ημεραν την εβδομην και ηγιασεν αυτην οτι εν αυτη κατεπαυσεν απο παντων των εργων αυτου ων ηρξατο ο θεος ποιησαι [lxx]

And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do. [bs3]

In Genesis 2:3, the end of the verse says that God rested from his work which "God created and made". This is the basis for the Hebrew word for truth which, like the Greek word for truth, «αλήθεια», has to do with the reality of our world. Levels of truth

The Hebrew word for truth, "אמת" has the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet at the beginning, the middle letter near the middle, and the last letter at the end.

Genesis 2:3

All

KJV: And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Hebrew: ויברך אלהים את יום השביעי ויקדש אתו כי בו שבת מכל מלאכתו אשר ברא אלהים לעשות׃

Greek: και ηυλογησεν ο θεος την ημεραν την εβδομην και ηγιασεν αυτην οτι εν αυτη κατεπαυσεν απο παντων των εργων αυτου ων ηρξατο ο θεος ποιησαι

Brenton: And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.

Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. [kjv]

… אלהים … ברא אלהים לעשות [he]

The Hebrew word "ברא" (bra) ≈ "made, created".

The Hebrew word "לעשות" (la-a-so-wt) ≈ "created, made".

This is a re-emphasis of the first word as a verb.

Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. [kjv]

… אלהים … ברא אלהים לעשות [he]

The Hebrew word "אלהים" (el-o-him) ≈ "God, Elohim".

Elohim is, literally, the "living" (him) "God" (el).

The Hebrew is plural but is to be taken as a singular God (unless you prefer the plural to be the Trinity).

"אמת" (emet) ≈ "truth"

"לעשות" (la-a-so-wt) ≈ "created, made"

"אלהים" (el-o-him) ≈ "God, Elohim"

"ברא" (bra) ≈ "made, created"

Taking the last letter of the three words as an acrostic, and making a new Hebrew word, one gets the Hebrew word "אמת" which means "truth". אמת - truth

If the first letter of the Hebrew word for truth is removed, the resulting word is "dead" (noun) or "dying" or "diseased" (adjective).
