In the interest of full disclosure, my 1992 reprint of the 1985 edition of 
the JPS translation contains the following footnote to this text:

a Others "In the beginning God Created"

Presumably this refers to other Jewish translations of the Hebrew.  I 
believe that most major Christian translations are also working from the 
Hebrew text as well.
