1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2
The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3
Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
4
And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
5
God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
6
Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."
7
Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.
8
And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9
Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so.
