Genesis 1:1-10

1In the beginning God created heaven and earth.

2The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep water. The Spirit of God was hovering over the water.

3Then God said, “Let there be light!” So there was light.

4God saw the light was good. So God separated the light from the darkness.

5God named the light day, and the darkness he named night. There was evening, then morning—the first day.

6Then God said, “Let there be a horizon in the middle of the water in order to separate the water.”

7So God made the horizon and separated the water above and below the horizon. And so it was.

8God named ⌞what was above⌟ the horizon sky. There was evening, then morning—a second day.

9Then God said, “Let the water under the sky come together in one area, and let the dry land appear.” And so it was.

10God named the dry land earth. The water which came together he named sea. God saw that it was good.
