Gen 1:1 [Old Latin Bible (Vetus Latina)]

* YeYa is Tanakh.info’s English transliteration of יְיָ which is an abbreviation for the Tetragrammaton YHWH or Adonay. In the Targums, the name YHWH was replaced by two “yods” with a “waw” over them, thus יוי, which letters are equal in value to YHWH (10+6+10 = 10+5+6+5= 26). At this website, יוי is printed as יְיָ.
