Unfortunately David... the first translation IS correct [unlike many other 
phrases in the translated OT]

Dedy [fluent Hebrew speaker and translator]


From: "David Harrison" <Very true. A perfect example is the first line of 
the Bible. "In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth".
Most Hebrew scholars will say that "In the beginning of God's creation of 
the heaven and earth" is a more accurate translation. The second translation 
indicates a longer time span.
