Genesis 1:2-5

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.
