In the interest of full disclosure, my 1992 reprint of the 1985 edition of
the JPS translation contains the following footnote to this text:
a Others "In the beginning God Created"
Presumably this refers to other Jewish translations of the Hebrew. I
believe that most major Christian translations are also working from the
Hebrew text as well.
