    1In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

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

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

    4God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

    5God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night.' And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

    6Then God said, 'Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.'

    7So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.

    8God called the vault 'sky.' And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

    9Then God said, 'Let the waters under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.' And it was so.

    10God called the dry ground 'land,' and the gathered waters he called 'seas.' And God saw that it was good.

    11Then God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their kinds, on the earth.' And it was so.
