And the earthwas without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Godmovedupon the face of the waters.3
And Godsaid , Let there belight: and there was light.4
And Godsaw the light,that it was good: and Goddivided the lightfrom the darkness.5
And Godcalled the lightDay, and the darkness he calledNight. And the eveninga and the morning were the firstday.6
And Godsaid , Let there be a firmamentb in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.7
And Godmade the firmament, and divided the waterswhich were under the firmament from the waterswhich were above the firmament: and it was so.8
And Godcalled the firmamentHeaven. And the evening and the morning were the secondday.9
And Godsaid , Let the waters under the heaven be gathered togetheruntooneplace, and let the dry land appear : and it was so.
