Rachaph — the Hebrew word for "hovering" in Genesis 1:2 — appears only a handful of times in Scripture. Follow the arc from creation to Tabernacle to Yeshua.
I like your “verbifying” rachaph – “And the Ruach is rachaph-ing over all of it.”
The whole narrative arc of the Scripture is missed so easily for us Western, linear-thinkers. We tend to see things in pieces more than the whole. The Eastern (& Mideast) mind is more wholistic than linear. Thanks for bringing out the over-arching narrative element.
Even John 1:1-3 speaks of the “hovering” before the indwelling, incarnation of vs 14.
Oh Rebecca, I am so so sorry. I am praying for you and your family. I cannot imagine the grief you feel but yes, you're correct. God is hovering and is right there with you in your pain. My deepest condolences.

Thank you Trip!!
I learnt a lot from this. Thank you!
I am so glad!!
My son left this world Saturday. And this all consuming grief feels like empty chaos but I can trust that God is hoovering. He is present.
