创1:1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

创1:2And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

创1:3And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.

创1:4And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.

创1:5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day.

创1:6And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters.

创1:7And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so.

创1:8And God called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning -- a second day.

创1:9And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry [land] appear. And it was so.

创1:10And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

创1:11And God said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth. And it was so.

创1:12And the earth brought forth grass, herb producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in them, after their kind. And God saw that it was good.

创1:13And there was evening, and there was morning -- a third day.

创1:14And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;

创1:15and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.

创1:16And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, -- and the stars.

创1:17And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth,

创1:18and to rule during the day and during the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

创1:19And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fourth day.

创1:20And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens.
