Genesis 1 My translation

Time began when Separating (see note) (God) separated (created) time (heaven) and space (earth).  Now, this was a space (earth)  with no objects or extension (without form and void) and a time (deep) with no past (in darkness). Separating produced a wave-like pattern (Spirit of God moving over the deep), the source of the first electromagnetic energy (light), which had an energy gradient symbolized by light and darkness. This energy gradient produced the first plasma (firmament), which in separating by electromagnetic charge (waters above from waters below), produced the first mass, which also existed in a gradient of captured separating energy: the elements. As time extended, a further level of separation (dry land from seas) along an energy gradient related to mass: gravity. Then all of these things began to exploit the energy gradients by forming self-replicating systems, including the potential for biological ones.  Then, stars, galaxies, the sun, the moon. Then higher biological systems separated by the ancients as sea-creatures, birds, animals useful to man, insects, and wild animals. To tend to the sea-creatures, the birds, the animals useful to man, and the insects, Separating separated men from women, who together have the purpose of tending the earth. And humans received the plants to eat and the essential human knowledge: that seeds replicate themselves, yielding fruit; this was the energy gradient for man's use. The earth's systems were well-provided for all creatures.

(Further reflection reveals that at this foundational level of ontology, subject and predicate merge. X could then be described as "Separating" as a gerund. This dual nature of the Logos, as this was later called in Hellenic and Christian theology, found rich resonance throughout human symbology even down to modern times with the wave/particle duality of quantum mechanics and the space/time duality of Eisteinian relativity. Separating is the suitable human term for this act, as separating lies at the basis of human culture, as logic.  Human knowledge rests on a basis of properly framing the environment into objects that can be manipulated by logic. Separating, in other words, is the hallmark of self-consciousness.  Genesis assumed a self-conscious God whose very act of self-consciousness sets the entire world going.)
