Genesis 1:1-8 ▼

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 And the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, 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 the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

6 Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”

7 God made the expanse, and separated the waters that were below the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse; and it was so.

8 God called the expanse “heaven.” And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
