2:6 One day R. Joshua was walking in a public square and noticed Ben Zoma coming toward him. Ben Zoma, however, walked past R. Joshua without offering a greeting. R. Joshua inquired about Ben Zoma's apparent preoccupation, to which Ben Zoma responded that he had been deep in thought, considering the intricacies of divine Creation. Ben Zoma revealed that he had been reflecting on the cosmic dimensions and the relative locations of the earthly and heavenly domains. He posited that there was no significant distance separating the upper and lower waters, using two Biblical verses to support his theory. The first was Genesis 1:2 which describes the spirit of God moving above the surface of the waters and second was Deuteronomy 32:11–12 which compares God’s actions to an eagle hovering over its nest. Upon hearing Ben Zoma’s interpretation, R. Joshua cautioned his disciples, suggesting that Ben Zoma's ideas were leading him outside of mainstream Jewish thought. Indeed, it wasn't long after R. Joshua expressed his concern that Ben Zoma died.
