In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, ÒLet there be light,Ó and there was light. God
saw that the light was good, and he separated the
light from the darkness. God
called the light Òday,Ó and the darkness he
called Ònight.Ó And there was evening, and there was morning Ð one day.
