the Berasit Hebrew Dictionary

רוה

'roeh' is commonly pronounced “ruach”, and thought to mean “the Holy Spirit”.

However, many instances of the word seem to refer to a physical object rather than a spiritual entity.

One such instance is the word's first appearance in Genesis 1:1. Traditional translated as “the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the deep”. Our rendition keeping close to the Hebrew etymology reads as follows:

the Roeh Alehim orbited the edge.

We are presented with an object that is moving in three dimensional space. A physical object on an orbital trajectory. It seems to follow Newtonian physics.
