NASB | Genesis 1:2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:2 The earth was formless and void or a waste and emptiness, and darkness was upon the face of the deep [primeval ocean that covered the unformed earth]. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. |
Subject: Is Genesis 1:2 the fall of satan? |
Bible Note: Hello G ZAZ Your allegorical approach to the passage makes little sense to me. I prefer a literal approach where God created the earth in its most elemental state (like a ball of clay but not formed--"without form and void"). The remainder of Gen 1 explains in simple terms how God shaped and added to that. Steve |
