Hello Yigal:

Sorry ...

I wasn't trying to suggest in my post, what you perhaps imply that I was
stating: aka "God evil." But I can see how my post might be construed that
way.

I was trying to suggest, what your translation of the remainder of the verse
implies (taken as a whole with the other part of the verse i quoted): aka
that the verse recites in english translation: "God creates both good and
evil."

So, yes, it is better to reproduce the entire verse.

regards,

fred burlingame
