11In the beginning2God3created the heavens and the earth.
2
The earth was [a]4formless and void, and 5darkness was over the [b]surface of the deep, and 6the Spirit of God7was [c]movingover the [d]surface of the waters.
3
Then 8Godsaid, "Let there be light "; and there was light.
4
Godsaw that the light was 9good; and God10separated the light from the darkness.
5
11Godcalled the lightday, and the darkness He callednight. And 12there was evening and there was morning, oneday.
6
Then Godsaid, "Let there be [e]an 13expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."
7
Godmade the [f]expanse, and separated14the waterswhich were below* the [g]expanse from the waters15which were above* the [h]expanse; and it was so.
