@maklelan When did it start getting translated as “In the beginning…”?
@maklelan What should we say to Christian apologists who insist on saying God created the universe ??
@maklelan Genesis 1:1 is written in Hebrew in the Bible I read.
@maklelan Rather overstated… true, the vocalization of the first word suggests the construct chain, but only in the Masoretic text… Greek transcriptions presume the absolute… indeed, the Masoretes themselves read it as an absolute (punctuating it with a Tipha)…
@maklelan nope but I still see references to "man and wife" rather than "man and woman" alas, next edition cc @JenniferGBird
