Genesis 1:1-8

1In the beginningH7225 GodH430 createdH1254 the heavensH8064 andH853 the earthH776.

2Now the earthH776 wasH1961 formlessH8414 and voidH922, and darknessH2822 was overH5921 the surfaceH6440 of the deepH8415. And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 was hoveringH7363 overH5921 the surfaceH6440 of the watersH4325.

3And GodH430 saidH559, “Let there beH1961 lightH216,”1 and there wasH1961 lightH216. 4And GodH430 sawH7200 thatH3588 the lightH216 was goodH2896, andH430 He separatedH914 the lightH216 fromH996 the darknessH2822. 5GodH430 calledH7121 the lightH216 “dayH3117,” and the darknessH2822 He calledH7121 “nightH3915.”

And there wasH1961 eveningH6153, and there wasH1961 morningH1242—the firstH259 dayH3117.2

6And GodH430 saidH559, “Let there beH1961 an expanseH75493 betweenH8432 the watersH4325, toH1961 separateH914H996 the watersH4325 from the watersH4325.” 7So GodH430 madeH6213 the expanseH7549 and separatedH914H996 the watersH4325 beneathH8478 it fromH996 the watersH4325 aboveH5921. And it wasH1961 soH3651. 8GodH430 calledH7121 the expanseH7549 “skyH8064.”

And there wasH1961 eveningH6153, and there wasH1961 morningH1242—the secondH8145 dayH3117.
