[jsword-devel] Confused again

[Jacky Cheung]

Just to add more...
I think the correct translation is:
<verse osisID="Gen.1.1">In the<w lemma="x-Strongs:H07225"> beginning</w> 
<w lemma="x-Strongs:H0430">God</w> <w morph="x-StrongsMorph:TH8804" 
lemma="x-Strongs:H0853|x-Strongs:H01254">created</w> the<w 
lemma="x-Strongs:H08064">heaven</w> the<w 
lemma="x-Strongs:H0853">and</w> <w lemma="x-Strongs:H0776"> 
earth</w>.</verse>

What do you think?
