1
Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
2
He found him in a desert land,
3
And in the waste howling wilderness;
4
He compassed him about, he cared for him,
5
He kept him as the apple of his eye.
6
As an eagle that stirreth up her nest,
7
That fluttereth over her young,
8
He spread abroad his wings, he took them,
9
He bare them on his pinions.
10
Jehovah alone did lead him,
11
And there was no foreign god with him.
12
He made him ride on the high places of the earth,

Ascendit ergo Moyses de campestribus Moab super montem Nebo, in verticem Phasga contra Iericho: ostenditque ei Dominus omnem Terram Galaad usque Dan,
2
et universum Nephthali, terramque Ephraim et Manasse, et omnem terram Iuda usque ad mare novissimum,
3
et australem partem, et latitudinem campi Iericho civitatis palmarum usque Segor.
4
Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Hæc est terra, pro qua iuravi Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob, dicens: Semini tuo dabo eam. Vidisti eam oculis tuis, et non transibis ad illam.
5
Mortuusque est ibi Moyses servus Domini, in terra Moab, iubente Domino:
6
et sepelivit eum in valle Terræ Moab contra Phogor: et non cognovit homo sepulchrum eius usque in præsentem diem.
7
Moyses centum et viginti annorum erat quando mortuus est: non caligavit oculus eius, nec dentes illius moti sunt.
8
Fleveruntque eum filii Israel in campestribus Moab triginta diebus: et completi sunt dies planctus lugentium Moysen.
9
Iosue vero filius Nun repletus est Spiritu sapientiæ, quia Moyses posuit super eum manus suas. Et obedierunt ei filii Israel, feceruntque sicut præcepit Dominus Moysi.
10
Et non surrexit ultra propheta in Israel sicut Moyses, quem nosset Dominus facie ad faciem,
11
in omnibus signis atque portentis, quæ misit per eum, ut faceret in Terra Ægypti Pharaoni, et omnibus servis eius, universæque terræ illius,
12
et cunctam manum robustam, magnaque mirabilia, quæ fecit Moyses coram universo Israel.

Explanations by Age Level
Explain Like I'm 5
A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
