<P> Rûach (רוּחַ) has the meanings "wind, spirit, breath," and elohim can mean "great" as well as "god". The ruach elohim which moves over the Deep may therefore mean the "wind / breath of God" (the storm - wind is God's breath in Psalms 18: 15 and elsewhere, and the wind of God returns in the Flood story as the means by which God restores the earth), or God's "spirit", a concept which is somewhat vague in Hebrew bible, or simply a great storm - wind . </P> <P> Veha'arets hayetah tohu vavohu vechoshech al - peney tehom veruach Elohim merachefet al - peney hamayim . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Translation </Th> <Th> Text </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> American Standard Version </Td> <Td> "And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters ." </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Bible in Basic English </Td> <Td> "And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters ." </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Darby Bible </Td> <Td> "And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters ." </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> God's Word </Td> <Td> "The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep water .
