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 He called the darkness "night." Evening came, and then morning: the first day.
