Talk:Genesis 1-8 (Translated) (view source)

Reading Genesis 7:11 with Genesis 1:6-10 in mind, what we are to understand is that "creation is being undone", according to the JPS commentary. The waters which were separated by the expanse are coming together again, making the earth again "unformed and void". But "God remembered Noah", and basically created the earth again, in chapter 8. The water above the expanse was "held back", and the waters below the expanse returned to the seas. There is no room here for a "subcrustal ocean", and any hypothesizing to that effect is inane, not only scientifically, but Biblically as well. - Danielitld

== Will vs Shall ==
I suggest replacing "shall" with "will"; after all the purpose of this project is to use more modern language, and "shall" is increasingly becoming obsolete. Furthermore, this change would improve internal consistency, as "will" is used in other instances. So I suggest replacing every instance of "shall" (e.g. 1:6, 1:11) with the more commonly used "will". --[[User:MarcoT|MarcoT]] 08:32, 12 June 2010 (EDT)
