> Example: In the beginning G-d created, in the Hebrew version, is actually literally “In the beginning OF... G-d created”...

Actually, I’ve heard tell that the definite article is also missing, making it “In A Beginning...”. Thanks Phinneous.

Many languages omit both definite and indefinite articles.

BTW, I do not see “in the beginning of” in the words “Bereshith bara”. Can anyone clarify?
