It is included in manuscripts only slightly less ancient, A,D,K,W,ƒ 1,ƒ 13, Italic manuscripts, the Vulgate, some other ancient versions. As it is missing in the very oldest resources and yet is ...
In Talmudic times, readings from the Torah within the synagogues were rendered, verse-by-verse, into an Aramaic translation.

The Hebrew and English bible text is the New JPS version. It contains a number of commentaries, written in English, on the Torah which run alongside the Hebrew text and its English translation, and it also contains a number of essays on the Torah and Tanakh in the back of the book.
The verse contains seven (Hebrew) words, and each of the words except Hashamayim ("Heavens") contains the letter Aleph (the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, with a gematria value of 1). The name "Aleph" hints at its etymological variants "Aluph" ("Chief/Ruler", representing the one God ) and "Eleph" ("One Thousand", representing 1,000 years).
