help. need Hebrew equivalent to "chaos"

Post by geoff »

A Candian band has an album cover with Hebrew writing, which they said meant "Chaos". However, recently they changed the web page and it now says it actually translated to "creation"... so I'm trying to find the Hebrew equivalent of "Chaos"... for integration within a tattoo.

Thanks so much to anyone who can either help me out or direct me somewhere in which i may find out.

Chaos like in the creation myths of the ancient Greeks and of many other people? In the beginning of Genesis ("darkness (was) upon the face of the deep") it is תהום (tehom) "abyss, depths"

I found several Hebrew words for "chaos" in a Polish-Hebrew online dictionary:

- כאוס (kaos)
- אי-סדר (i-seder)
- אנדרלמוסיה (andralamusja)
- בלגן (balagan).

Here's what I found for "creation": עיצוב (icuw).
