Yes Heb grammar. But it depends on the pronunciation, so without diacritics it was a bit ambiguous. The Christians fell for creatio ex nihilo so didn't follow the natural translation or the Massoretic diacritics when they became available. Neither did Judaism for a millennium or so for the same reason, so the customary vocalisation & translation contradicted the Massoretic text.
