1. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth—
2. Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3. And God said, “Let there be light!” And there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good, and God caused there to be a separation between the light and between the darkness.
