hello all
in looking at a spanish bible as that is how I am going to retrain myself and learn spanish I see that there is a word that is not used in the
dictionary and that is the Spanish word Estaba that is found in Genisis 1:2
My other question would be in verse 1 of Gen 1 it uses Crio instead of creado
so hopefully someone knows the answers here as it will help me to learn spanish .
as much as I have been around it I should be speaking fluently but have not been able to because my usage is to speratic so I am thinking since I do a lot of bible study if I was to learn Bible Spanish in my studies it will help me to learn.
also this translation is from 1910 so if you can help me Iwould truly appreciate it thank Robert

"Estaba" means "He/she was", and it is in the dictionary. The verb is "estar".
I don't think the word is "crio", but "creó" ("He created").
just out of curiosity will I run into Problems with differentspellings and usages like I do when I use the Old english for example in modern english as well as american english we spell color but in old english and in parts of england still we spell it colour same word different spellings due to changes in time so is that why might have happened with Crio'?
if so then this will help me in the future thanks again so much for your help and you will Probablly get to know me really well or get tired of one 
have a good day
EN el principio crEó Dios los cielos y la tierra
Now that we have the example, robert, jsut a spelling mistake. It should be
creó, created
Hello thanks so much for you help but it is spelled Crio in the translation that I have in my online bible 1910 version I did do a dictinary search for the english word for creation and it came back creado but when I put in the word crio nothing came back and the word creo came back saying that it means I believe so that would not work
EN el principio crió Dios los cielos y la tierra
thanks again
Heidita I think cleared it up for me as well
No problem.
ok sorry this is my first time thanks
Hi Robert, have you discovered the group "Bible" yet? (look under groups)
Estaba : past of estar, double click on the word and you will get a full conjugation and the meaning.
