<P> In a framework view, the six days describe actual historical events, arranged topically instead of chronologically . The framework is based on two problems in Genesis 1: 2, with the earth being "formless and empty ." The two solutions are to produce form (by separations in Days 1 - 3) and fill these forms (in Days 4 - 6) to connect related aspects of creation history in Days 1 - and - 4, 2 - and - 5, 3 - and - 6 . </P> <P> Before God begins to create, the world is tohu wa - bohu (Hebrew: תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ ‎): the word tohu by itself means "emptiness, futility"; it is used to describe the desert wilderness . Bohu has no known meaning and was apparently coined to rhyme with and reinforce tohu . It appears again in Jeremiah 4: 23, where Jeremiah warns Israel that rebellion against God will lead to the return of darkness and chaos, "as if the earth had been' uncreated' ." Tohu wa - bohu, chaos, is the condition that bara, ordering, remedies . </P> <P> Darkness and "Deep" (Hebrew: תְהוֹם ‎ t hôm) are two of the three elements of the chaos represented in tohu wa - bohu (the third is the formless earth). In the Enuma Elish, the Deep is personified as the goddess Tiamat, the enemy of Marduk; here it is the formless body of primeval water surrounding the habitable world, later to be released during the Deluge, when "all the fountains of the great deep burst forth" from the waters beneath the earth and from the "windows" of the sky . William Dumbrell notes that the reference to the "deep" in this verse "alludes to the detail of the ancient Near Eastern cosmologies" in which "a general threat to order comes from the unruly and chaotic sea, which is finally tamed by a warrior god ." Dumbrell goes on to suggest that Genesis 1: 2 "reflects something of the chaos / order struggle characteristic of ancient cosmologies". </P> <P> The "Spirit of God" hovering over the waters in some translations of Genesis 1: 2 comes from the Hebrew phrase ruach elohim, which has alternately been interpreted as a "great wind". Victor Hamilton decides, somewhat tentatively, for "spirit of God", but dismisses any suggestion that this can be identified with the Holy Spirit of Christian theology . </P>
