Rewrite and format the following commentary (on “In the beginning” of Genesis 1:1) keeping as many of the same words as possible:

Genesis opens with the Hebrew phrase bere’shith, typically translated as “in the beginning.” This phrase refers to the beginning of the world as we know it. It contains no allusion to any philosophical conception of “eternity.” The language used in the account of Creation is neither that of abstract speculation nor of exact science, but of simple, concrete, and unscientific narrative. The Hebrew writer simply speaks of “the beginning” of the universe as the historic origin of time and space.
