Genesis 1:1-8

11In the beginning 2God 3created the heavens and the earth. 2The earth was 45formless and void, and 6darkness was over the 7surface of the deep, and 8the Spirit of God 9was 10moving over the 11surface of the waters. 3Then 12God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4God saw that the light was 13good; and God 14separated the light from the darkness. 515God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And 16there was evening and there was morning, one day.

6Then God said, “Let there be 17an 18expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7God made the 19expanse, and separated 20the waters which were below the 21expanse from the waters 22which were above the 23expanse; and it was so. 8God called the 24expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
