n the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the
earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface
of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, “Let t here be light,” and t here was light. God saw
that the light was good, and he separated the light from the
darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called
“night.” And there was evening, and there was morning — the
f irst day.
And God said, “Let t here be a v ault between the waters to sep
arate water from water.” So God made the v ault and separat
ed the water under the v ault from the water above it. And it
was so. God called the v ault “sky.” And t here was evening, and
there was morning — the second day.
And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one
place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. God called the
dry g round “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.”
And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bear
ing plants and t rees on the land that bear fruit with seed in
it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land
produced vegetat ion: plants bear ing seed according to t heir
kinds and trees bearing f ruit with seed in it according to t heir
kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening,
and there was morning — the third day.
And God said, “Let t here be l ights in the v ault of the sky to sepa
rate the day from the n
ight, and let them s erve as s igns to mark
sacred times, and days and y ears, and let them be l ights in the
vault of the sky to give light on the e arth.” And it was so. God
made two g reat l ights — the greater light to govern the day and
the lesser light to govern the nigh �H[ ��XYH H0�\�\�ˈ����] [H[� H �0�H][ و H ��H ��]�H0�HY� ۈ HH0�H\� �ݰ�Y\�� H^H[� H���HY� [� � �\0�Xp�\�]H0�[Y� ���H\��B��\�ˈ[��� �]� ]] �\���� �[� 0�H\�H �\�]�p�[�[���[�0�]\�H �\�[ܛ��Z[���"x�%8�"x�"�H0�Y��\�^K��N�x�$�N�N
