|These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
|These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
|This is the story of the skies and the earth when they were created, in the day that the [[YHWH|L<small>ORD</small>]] [[God]] made the earth and the skies.
|Here ends the Testimony of Heaven and Earth when they were created, in the day that the [[YHWH|L<small>ORD</small>]] [[God]] made the earth and the skies.
|The word rendered L<small>ORD</small>, here and elsewhere, is '''יהוה''' (''Yahweh'', sometimes rendered ''Yehovah'' in the [[Masoretic Text]]) or [[YHWH]], the Tetragrammaton. The literal meaning is "He exists," sometimes rendered "He is" without a predicate nominative or adjective. Compare this with '''אהוה''' (''Ehweh''), which means ''I'' exist, in Exodus 3:14, the one occasion in which [[God]] gives His direct calling name to anyone.

The Hebrew '''תולדות''' (''toledoth'') normally means "family history." Here and elsewhere, it is a direct testimony. The word ''toledoth,'' wherever it appears, marks a ''colophon phrase'' like those at the end of commonly found ancient clay tablets from the [[Middle East]].
