The word only became edible with the letter "hey" added to "shishi" 
John 1:1
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος
Ἐν ἀρχῇ translates "bereishit" the first word of the Hebrew bible that was seen as the first of the ten utterances with which God created the world

Bartenura on Pirkei Avot 5:1:1-3
(1) With ten utterances: Nine [times in the creation story does it state] "and He said"; and "In the beginning" is also an utterance, as it is written (Psalms 33:6), "With the word of the Lord were the heavens made."
I would contend that "b'reishit" encompasses the nine following phrases "vayomer elohim" = and God said
