1:2 And the earth was {b} without form, and void; and {c} darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God {d} moved upon the face of the waters.
(b) As an unformed lump and without any creature in it: for the waters covered everything. (c) Darkness covered the deep waters, for the waters covered everything. (d) He maintained this disordered mass by his secret power.
