Well first in verse 1, we have God who just created the universe. Right?
Then in verse 2, we have the Spirit hovering over the waters, right?
So why would you need something between verses 1 & 2?
Wouldn’t it be natural that God went from creating the universe and then getting right down to forming the earth?
The verse says, And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
God is creating and calling us to look at His glory as Creator and in His creation. And from the Spirit hovering over the water is where we should be focusing our attention and viewpoint.
