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 โ€œbefore (there was) a moonโ€, it is especially Psalm 72:5 which clearly cannot be referred to for support. Velikovsky translates โ€œbefore (the time of) the moonโ€. In Hebrew the word libnay is used, which literally means โ€œin the face ofโ€, โ€œin front ofโ€, and so primarily means โ€œbeforeโ€ 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. Velikovskyโ€™s 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. Velikovkskyโ€™s 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. Velikovskyโ€™s discoveries as exotic and mythical. Yet Genesis 1 leaves room for Dr. Velikovskyโ€™s thesis that the earth has been without a moon in historical times.
