Hi Teus,

XEP does not implement composition of Hebrew presentation forms. This
is a feature not needed for modern Hebrew texts, since vocalization
is normally only used in biblical Hebrew. If you need this feature
supported, you can ask the marketing and sales department of RenderX
to implement it as a custom job. Alternatively, you can use a
preprocessing tool to compose glyphs.

Please also don't used sacred texts as examples of bad typography.
Your example is the first three words from Breishit, the Book of
Genesis.
