1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2. The earth was formless and void, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water.
3. God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4. God saw that the light was good, and God separated 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 an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”
7. So God made the expanse and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. And it was so.
8. God called the expanse Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
