The biblical truth claim of the Genesis account of creation is that God is the creator. That is the truth. It is therefore interesting and helpful to note the kind of language or literary device that God inspired to help us know him. Much of the Bible is written in poetry. It utilizes Hebraisms that are colorful, metaphorical, and symbolic to convey the absolute and concrete truth that the one God of the Bible is the creator.
Poetry is addressed to the mind through the heart.
The Lord is our Shepherd. A literal interpretation of Psalm 23 could lead us in such a direction. As stated in other questions and answers about Genesis, God is not giving us a blueprint of how he created the world. If he did, or if that was his purpose, the material is woefully incomplete. Many questions remain if the creation account of Genesis represents a blueprint-like account of how God created the universe.
