The one thing I noticed right off was the word "bara" which is generally translated created. They had it is something to do with fat.

I think bara comes from the common root for bar which means Son and thus means sired. It also includes Jesus in the creation. Jewish scholars would avoid this implication like a cat to a bath.

I translate the first sentence, "At first, God sired the universe."
