GENESIS 1:16 โ EARTH WITHOUT A MOON?
Although I fail to see how (also in view of the context), Job 25:5 can be translated โbefore (there was) a moonโ, it is especially Psalm 72:5 which clearly cannot be referred to for support. Velikovsky translates โbefore (the time of) the moonโ. In Hebrew the word libnay is used, which literally means โin the face ofโ, โin front ofโ, and so primarily means โbeforeโ in a local sense.
It is indeed sometimes used in a temporal sense also, but this is not the common use. Now in Psalm 72:17 the same word is used in connection with the Sun and should, if Dr. Velikovskyโs translation of verse 5 is correct, be translated there the same way. This would mean that there has also been a historical period of time when the Earth was without a Sun. Psalm 72 therefore does not support Dr. Velikovkskyโs thesis.
It is a pity, however, that Dr. Velikovsky dismisses the first chapter of Genesis as a myth, a tale brought down from exotic and later sources. Dr. Velikovsky, in doing this, follows the lead of Bible-critics of the uniformitarian-evolutionist school. It was students of this school who also dismissed Dr. Velikovskyโs discoveries as exotic and mythical. Yet Genesis 1 leaves room for Dr. Velikovskyโs thesis that the earth has been without a moon in historical times.
