1In the beginningH7225 GodH430 createdH853 H1254 the heavenH8064 andH853 the earthH776. 2And the earthH776 wasH1961 without formH8414, and voidH922; and darknessH2822 was upon the faceH6440 of the deepH8415. And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 movedH7363 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the watersH4325. 3And GodH430 saidH559, Let there beH1961 lightH216: and there was lightH216. 4And GodH430 sawH853 H7200 the lightH216, thatH3588 it was goodH2896: and GodH430 dividedH996 H914 the lightH216 fromH996 the darknessH2822.1 5And GodH430 calledH7121 the lightH216 DayH3117, and the darknessH2822 he calledH7121 NightH3915.
