Rabbi Berechiah said: The upper and lower waters separated from each other in weeping. [Translation by Rabbi Steve Greenberg]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. Why did the waters weep when they were separated?
2. If they did not want to part with each other, why were they separated anyway?
3. What does this text teach us about the process of creation?
Time Period: Rabbinic (Maccabees through the Talmud)
