Questions
[edit]
Verse 2
- Why does God say "I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the deep" (emphasis added)? Notice in Gen 1:2 it simply says "darkness was upon the face of the deep", (emphasis in the original).
- Why might the Lord have needed to cause the earth to be darkened in the beginning?
- How might it be possible to cause darkness to come up (verse 2) before having issued the divine injunction "let there be light"(verse 3)?
- Does the darkness mentioned here have any meaning symbolically as evil?
