During the time when the sky had not been named, when the earth which lies beneath us kept no name, And primeval Apàsê, the father of those two, and Lawless Têhamat, who birthed them, were not yet conjoined, their water was not twisted, And no field lay, no hills were seen, When the Gods had not named one.
