English of Core Text: Rabbi Yehudah bar El’ai expounded: Two worlds that the Holy One, blessed be He, created — one with a heh and one with a yud... When it says “these are the generations of the heaven and the earth when they were created (behibare’am)” — read not “behibare’am” but “be-heh bera’am,” from here that this world was created with a heh.
