When text is indented, it means that the line of text starts further to the right than the lines of text above and below it that are not indented.
This is done for poetry and some lists, to show that the indented lines form a part of the non-indented line above them. For example:
The first line of each paragraph can be indented to show the beginning of a new paragraph.
>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>1</sup> In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. <sup>2</sup> The earth was without form and empty. Darkness was upon the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving above the surface of the waters.
>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>3</sup> God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. <sup>4</sup> God saw the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness. <sup>5</sup> God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." This was evening and morning, the first day. (Genesis 1:1-5, ULB)
Alternatively, or in addition to the indentation, a full line break can be used to separate paragraphs.

In poetry, phrases can be indented to show that they are the completion of a thought in a previous line or that they are to to be contrasted with or compared to a thought in a previous line. For example:
><sup>1</sup> Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked,
>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;or stand in the pathway with sinners,
>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;or sit in the assembly of mockers.
><sup>2</sup> But his delight is in the law of Yahweh,
>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and on his law he meditates day and night. (Psalm 1:1-2, ULB)
In long or complicated lists, items in the list can be put on indented lines.
><sup>5</sup>These are the names of the leaders who must fight with you:
>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;
>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>6</sup>from the tribe of Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;
