1:1 In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth. 1:2 And the earth
was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters. 1:3 And God said, Let
there be light: and there was light. 1:4
And God saw the light, that it was good:
and God divided the light from the
darkness 1:5 And God called the light
Day, And the evening and the morning
were the first day. 1:6 And God said, Let
there be a firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the waters from
the waters. . 1:7 And God made the
firmament, and divided the waters which
were under the firmament from the
waters which were above the firmament:
and it was so. 1:8 And God called the
firmament Heaven. And the evening and
the morning were the second day. 1:9
And God said, Let the waters under the
heaven be gathered together unto one
place, and let the dry land appear: and it
was so. 1:10 And God called the dry land
Earth; and the gathering together of the
waters called the Seas: and God saw that
it was good. 1:11 And God said, Let the
earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after
his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the
earth: and it was so. 1:12 And the earth
brought forth grass, and herb yielding
seed after his kind, and the tree yielding
fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his
kind: and God saw that it was good. 1:13
And the evening and the morning were
the third day.
