1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.
3
And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
4
And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.
5
God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
