Word Play From Genesis 1.

Check out this word play from Genesis 1. This is a brilliant bit of writing. The writer must’ve been the best of his generation. The puns are flying faster than in a Marx Brothers movie.

God ['elohiym] let the waters [mayim] bring forth [sharats] the crawling creatures [sherets] and the open [paniym] sky [shamayim] brings forth fowl [`owph] that fly [`uwph] above the earth ['erets].
