I was wrong. This does not deny that Yehovah created the universe. Moses is simply not talking about that here. In Genesis 1 Moses is describing the creation of Israel, using the language of creation to tell the story of the Exodus. b’reshiyth: The very first word of Scripture is not Hebrew for “Once upon a time...” “Every English Bible begins with the traditional translation, ‘In the beginning…’  and that tradition is the BIG LIE.” b’reshiyth does not mean “In...
