Symbolism & Language.

Here's an excerpt out of the gnostic Nag Hammadi Library, from the codex "On the Origin of the World":

"Now when Pistis Sophia saw him moving about in the depth of the waters, she said to him, "Child, pass through to here," whose equivalent is 'yalda baoth'.

Since that day, there appeared the principle of verbal expression, which reached the gods and the angels and mankind. And what came into being as a result of verbal expression, the gods and the angels and mankind finished."
