Metaphor
- Ge 1:1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
- Two יs in the Hieroglyphic are the creation of the heaven and the earth. and is represented by the diagonal ו.
- Ge 1:6 ¶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
- The waters are divided by the firmament. Though the waters themselves were not created, the firmament creates the divide and reconciles it. It is the ו between the two creations.
- Ge 1:9 ¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so.
- As in Ge 1:6, two new things are created by the act of dividing.
- Ge 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
- From the waters came fish and birds, two new creations divided by their place of residence. See Ge 1:21 for doctrine.
Not Metaphor
- Ge 1:14 ¶ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years
- The day and night have already been created. The lights are created to help distinguish between them. This metaphor is represented by the letter ו.
