Genesis 1.2 epefereto

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am puzzled by epefereto of Genesis 1.2.  Middle Liddell has "to bring, 
lay, put upon," as well as "to attack."  I feel that epiforew and epifora 
must indicate the direction in which to expand epiferw:  Lampe renders 
epifora as "impact, attack," but allows a gentler "divine visitation," 
whereas epiforew parallels epiferw in meaning "to put upon," but departs in 
indicating "to make pregnant."  Does anyone have anything more solid?
Faithfully, Dan Monroe
