Genesis 1:1
Hebrew Bible
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was hovering11 over the surface of the water. 3 God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light!
Onkelos Genesis 1:1
Targum
1 In the beginning the Lord created the heaven and the earth. 2 The earth was unformed and empty, With darkness over the face of the deep, and a wind from before the Lord was blowing on the face of the water. 3 The Lord said, “Let there be light.” And there was light.
Notes and References
"... The name Elohim, 'God,' used in Scripture's opening verse, is written with a pluralized Hebrew suffix, the plural of El ... Since the pluralized form may lead the masses to infer the existence of many gods, Onkelos always insists on substituting the Tetragrammaton, God's four-lettered name. However, since in Jewish tradition the Tetragrammaton could only be pronounced by the High Priest in the Temple, the Onkelos manuscripts use a shortened version of the name, either two or three yuds ..."
