| 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 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.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Suggested questions
1. What is meant by "the heaven and the earth" in verse 1?
2. How can anything, including "the earth" (verse 2), be "without form"?
3. What is meant by "the waters" in verse 2?
4. Stars were created on the fourth day. What kind of light is then meant in verse 3?
5. In what ways is the firmament of Heaven created on the second day different from "the heaven" created "in the beginning" (verse 1)?

| What is meant by "the heaven and the earth" in verse 1?How can anything, including "the earth" (verse 2), be "without form"?
As theologians say "the heaven and the earth" may mean two things:
1) A metaphor for the whole universe, simplified to this phrase in order that people can understand it;
2) Creation of two «places» or two worlds, the visible one and the invisible.
I personally can only agree with these understandings and try to combine them. In my opinion these words might mean the creation of the whole universe including these two worlds as parts of it.
Continuing this idea, that the visible world is meant by «the earth» we may say that this part of the universe was only created separately from the heaven but wasn`t formed yet.

| 1.I suppose this phrase means that the God creates two worlds. The first is invisible world (with angels), but the other is visible- our world. We usually say: " God created the world", but in fact, He created two worlds. So, these two creations schould be saparated in the text. The words earth ( the future world of people) and heaven (the world of angels) are used.

| 1. I think the angelic world is meant by “the heaven" because the firmament was created the following day. And “the earth” means the ground, which was yet void and covered by water.
2. I think that the assertion “The earth was without form” means that the earth was covered with darkness and water.
4. Though there were no stars yet, the light was created and it was emanating from God.
5. According to St. Demetrius of Rostov, the angelic world is meant by “the heaven” in the first verse. The visible sky (firmament) was created on the second day.
