1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2. And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face 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 divided between the light and the darkness.
5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day.
6. And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters.
7. And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so.
