If "the waters under the heaven [were] gathered together unto one place, and ... the dry land appear[ed]" on the third day (Gen. 1:9), can it really be said that there were "oceans" on the first day? [[User:AngusF|AngusF]] 18:10, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

For the benefit of all observers: "Oceans" can mean the full quantity of all the waters.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 18:27, 27 October 2009 (EDT)

:I humbly defer to your expertise, and "oceans" can be seen as an expansive term, but "ocean" is most commonly seen as a ''body'' of water, and the reference here is clearly to water uncontained and undifferentiated. I still plump for "waters" as the better rendering. [[User:ChrisFV|ChrisFV]] 22:46, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
