1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2. Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, but 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, so God separated the light from the darkness.
5. God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” There was evening, and there was morning, marking the first day.
6. God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it separate water from water.
