Genesis 1:2-6

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

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

4And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.

5God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.

6Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.”
