Did the very first Christians have the apocrypha in their Bible?

Like, for example, do you think there’s a possibility that someone who knew Paul personally, who Paul mentioned by name in the New Testament, might have actually quoted an apocryphal books as scripture, like say the book of Judith for example?
Are you curious about armor?

The Hebrew is being read from right to left.
The pdf you shared is missing parts of the whole.
I only saw a bet resh alef in the article.
א בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ.
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

What I gave is from the Dictionary of Classical Hebrew, Vol. 1 pp. 439 and 449. The rest comes under the bet resh alef.

What I gave is from the Dictionary of Classical Hebrew, Vol. 1 pp. 439 and 449. The lexicon leaves out בראשׂית because it is not need to understand the sentence or the uses of the direct object marker.

The letters bet resh alef spell the verb ברא = "create."
Read closer and you'll find the why, " In the beginning" is subtracted.
The hebrew is a bond to The creator.
Each consonant and syllable

It is left out because it is not necessary. That section is about the use of אֵת (i.e. the direct object maker). Lexicons are not going to waste space. Moreover the sentence still make perfect sense without it (i.e. God created the heavens and the earth).

Lexicana avoid an essential element such as water.

Well then explain how the phrase בְּרֵאשִׁית is an essential element for understanding the direct object marker's use in Hebrew grammar and syntax?

I believe that a basic understanding of hebrew will help in discerning what is not holy writ.

The book of enoch for example.
Is it originally written first in proper hebrew?

That does nothing to explain how בְּרֵאשִׁית has anything to do with direct object marker in Gen. 1:1 or any other passage in the Old Testament.

Again, that does nothing to explain how בְּרֵאשִׁית has anything to do with direct object marker in Gen. 1:1 or any other passage in the Old Testament. The Hebrew language has rules of grammar. Explain how that idea matters in regard to the grammar and syntax of a passage.

Just as I thought.
A fault of mine is a current knowledge of linguistic structure.
Ie lacking in elegant speech or writing similar to ole sh'aul .

My strengths are in memorization of definitions according to a few languages I've studied.
Verb
Adverb
Adjective
Noun
Pronoun

I asked a sincere question in order to learn from a person who could freely impart understanding of sentence constructs.

Blessings Always.
