JCR: The imagery at this point in the text is of a
water covered land with no seas or oceans and the
heavens (sky/space) above. As the separate oceans
have not yet been formed there is one unified body of
water that covers the whole land, Tehom. As there is
only one body of water it breaks no rules of grammar
to assign it the proper noun Tehom just as there is
only one Jerusalem where David and Solomon ruled.
