Genesis 1:2 — The Earth without Form and Void | In His Image Bible Study

“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” — Genesis 1:2 (KJV)

 “Without Form, and Void”

Darkness Was Upon the Face of the Deep

Before God says, “Let there be light,” Genesis describes darkness upon the face of the deep. The Hebrew word translated “deep” is tehom (תְּהוֹם), referring here to the great depth or watery deep.
