Genesis 1: 1-2 NB Marie Steiner No. 6 (September 4, 1910)

B’raschit bara elohim eth haschamajim v’eth hareths

In what came over from Saturn =, Sun = and Moon existence, the Elohim conceived in cosmic activity that which reveals itself outwardly, that which stirs inwardly.

And over that which stirs inwardly, and through that which stirs, there reigned a dark darkness. But there spread out into it, brooding over it, permeating it with warmth, the creative spirit of the Elohim Ruach.

Genesis 1: 1-3 NZ 172 (1906–1910?)

The gods separated the contents of the old solar realm from the old lunar realm.

In the old lunar realm, the elements were in confusion, and above the confusion was darkness; around it, the spirit of the gods wove a warming web.

wharets hjth tohu wbohu wchjschm
ruach elohim umam.

In the old lunar content, the gods let the light fall through their word.

Genesis 1: 1-3 NB Marie Steiner No. 5 (before 1913?)

In the beginning, the gods, the heavens, and the earth slept.

And the earth was desolate and confused, and darkness was over the floodwaters.

And the spirit of Elohim brooded over the substance, over the waters.

And the gods said, Let there be light. And there was light.

Genesis 1: 1-5 NB 170 (1910)

In the beginning, the gods conceived that which would reveal itself and that which would stir within itself — And that which stirred within itself was confused and desolate, and darkness was all around in the desolation, and the breath of the gods through brooded the dark entity over that which was revealed. In the etheric, upper beings separated from lower beings.

And the gods said, Let there be light; and there was light.

And the gods saw that the light was good, and they separated the light from the darkness

And the gods called the light Day, and the darkness they called Night.

And there was darkness, and there was light, one day.

Genesis 1: 1-5 NB 112 (1907?)

In the beginning, the gods condensed the etheric and the astral.

And the etheric was disordered, it was dark (for the light was only in the astral), and above the etheric was the divine spirit.

And the astral revealed itself in the etheric as light, and those who could not come to the light came forth. The spirits of light made the day; the spirits of darkness made the night.

Genesis 1: 3-5 See lecture from 8 May 1914 in Kassel (GA 69d)

You will be like gods, knowing good and evil.
