Quotation к Берешит 1:1

בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

В начале сотворил Бог небеса и землю.

For the Perplexed of the Generation

Behold, it is very obvious to anyone who knows Torah, that the account of the works of creation in the Torah is presented in extreme brevity. The Sages said in Midrash Rabbah, “It is impossible to relate what happened at Creation to people of flesh and blood. Therefore Scripture concealed it by beginning with 'In the beginning did God create'.” The basis of this statement is that the Torah only relates that which is relevant to our planet, and even then, only those matters that would be understood as having an ethical aspect, that touch on straightening the ways of man, in his outward behavior and his inner emotions.
