Keil & Delitzsch , Commentary on the Old Testament, , [0], Gen 1:2b, "And darkness was upon the face of the deep." תּהום, from הוּם, to roar, to rage, denotes the raging waters, the roaring waves (Psa_42:7) or flood (Exo_15:5; Deu_8:7); and hence the depths of the sea (Job_28:14; Job_38:16), and even the abyss of the earth (Psa_71:20). As an old traditional word, it is construed like a proper name without an article (Ewald, Gramm.). The chaotic mass in which the earth and the firmament were still undistinguished, unformed, and as it were unborn, was a heaving deep, an abyss of waters (ἄβυσσος, lxx), and this deep was wrapped in darkness.
