Gen 1:1
In the beginning God (

Elohim)
2
created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth. [Heb 11:3]
Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.
1
This is originally a plural form based on
el
(root meaning: strength), which itself is used to refer to God in compounds like
El Shaddai
(Almighty God). The word
el
is also used to refer to false gods, so the context determines whether
Elohim
means "God" or is better understood as "gods" (
elohim)
.
2
Heb
bara
. Here and in 1:21, God created from nothing which is something only He can do. In 1:27, God used preexisting materials (man from the dust of the ground; Eve from Adam's rib); each use of the word
bara
("create") must be considered in its specific context.
