1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 Then 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. There was an evening, and there was a morning: one day.
6 Then God said, Let there be an expanse between the waters, separating water from water.
7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse. And it was so.
