11In the beginningH7225 2GodH430 3createdH1254 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776. 2The earthH776 was 45formlessH8414 and voidH922, and 6darknessH2822 was overH5921 the 7surfaceH6440 of the deepH8415, and 8the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 9was 10movingH7363 overH5921 the 11surfaceH6440 of the watersH4325. 3Then 12GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be lightH216”; and there was lightH216. 4GodH430 sawH7200 that the lightH216 was 13goodH2896; and GodH430 14separatedH914 the lightH216 from the darknessH2822. 515GodH430 calledH7121 the lightH216 dayH3117, and the darknessH2822 He calledH7121 nightH3915. And 16there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, oneH259 dayH3117.

6Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be 17an 18expanseH7549 in the midstH8432 of the watersH4325, and let it separateH914 the watersH4325 from the watersH4325.” 7GodH430 madeH6213 the 19expanseH7549, and separatedH914 20the watersH4325 whichH834 were belowH4480H8478 the 21expanseH7549 from the watersH4325 22whichH834 were aboveH4480H5921 the 23expanseH7549; and it was soH3651. 8GodH430 calledH7121 the 24expanseH7549 heavenH8064. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a secondH8145 dayH3117.
