Haiku Scriptures—Genesis One

As promised, tonight I bring you Genesis, Chapter 1. Read it for the rhythm and nuances you might miss from just passive reading or from study. I hope my poet’s eye leads you to even deeper study on your own. The first-born teacher in me would be thrilled to know I’ve stirred up a hunger for even more of God’s Word in my readers.

Note: When I originally used the memorial name of The Almighty, I  used what’s called the tetragrammaton (YHVH) with the vowels inserted. That read YaHVeH. (Or it could be YHWH/YaHWeH, but V and W were the same letter in Hebrew, and I’m drawn to the V because by itself, it means and. So when I read Yahveh vs Yahweh, I see it as “Yah and…” or “God and… ” because He is the beginning of everything. Still, it looked distracting with the capital letters, so I’ve fixed that now.

GENESIS Intro…

Genesis One: One
“Genesis” means “Beginnings”…
Let us start from here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 1…

1:1
In the beginning:
No heavens; no earth, until...
Yahveh creates all!

1:2-5
Darkness divided:
Yahveh says, "Let there be light."
... Eve and morn — “Day One.”

1:6-8
Waters Divided:
Those below from those above.
... Eve and morn — “Day Two.”

1:9-10
The dry lands appear.
They are split by the waters,
Which Yahveh calls “seas.”

1:11-13
Earth starts producing:
Trees, plants, and seed-bearing fruit.
... Eve and morn — “Day Three.”

1:14-19
Great and lesser lights:
To rule the days and the nights;
Sunshine; moon; and stars.

Lights will be for signs,
And for seasons, days and years.
... Eve and morn — “Day Four.”

1:20-23
When birds and fish swarm:
They fill the skies and the seas.
... Eve and morn — “Day Five.”

1:24-25
The earth brings forth life:
Many animals and beasts,
And crawling creatures.
		
So much accomplished:
Most of creation is done...
God says, “It is good.”

1:26
ankind is made:
Created in God's image...
Man is blessed in God.
		
1:27-31
See man; See woman:
The greatest of all creations...
It is very good!

1:28-31
Plants and animals:
Plus humans, to multiply.
... Eve and morn — “Day Six.”

End of Chapter One
