Genesis 1:1 In-Context

1 First this: God created the Heavens and Earth - all you see, all you don't see.
2 Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.
3 God spoke: "Light!" And light appeared.
4 God saw that light was good and separated light from dark.
5 God named the light Day, he named the dark Night. It was evening, it was morning - Day One.
