1 | GEN 1:1 | In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. |
2 | GEN 1:2 | The earth was without form and empty. Darkness was upon the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving above the surface of the waters. |
3 | GEN 1:3 | God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. |
4 | GEN 1:4 | God saw the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness. |
5 | GEN 1:5 | God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” This was evening and morning, the first day. |
6 | GEN 1:6 | God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” |
7 | GEN 1:7 | God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. It was so. |
8 | GEN 1:8 | God called the expanse “sky.” This was evening and morning, the second day. |
9 | GEN 1:9 | God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear.” It was so. |
10 | GEN 1:10 | God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” He saw that it was good. |
11 | GEN 1:11 | God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit whose seed is in the fruit, each according to its own kind.” It was so. |
12 | GEN 1:12 | The earth produced vegetation, plants producing seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit whose seed was in it, after their kind. God saw that it was good. |
13 | GEN 1:13 | This was evening and morning, the third day. |
14 | GEN 1:14 | God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to divide the day from the night and let them be as signs, for seasons, for days and years. |
15 | GEN 1:15 | Let them be lights in the sky to give light upon the earth.” It was so. |
