1In the beginning God created the sky and the earth. ²The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and God’s Spirit was moving over the water.

³Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. ⁴God saw that the light was good, so he divided the light from the darkness. ⁵God named the light “day” and the darkness “night.” Evening passed, and morning came. This was the first day.

⁶Then God said, “Let there be something to divide the water in two.” ⁷So God made the air and placed some of the water above the air and some below it. ⁸God named the air “sky.” Evening passed, and morning came. This was the second day.

⁹Then God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered together so the dry land will appear.” And it happened. ¹⁰God named the dry land “earth” and the water that was gathered together “seas.” God saw that this was good.

¹¹Then God said, “Let the earth produce plants—some to make grain for seeds and others to make fruits with seeds in them. Every seed will produce more of its own kind of plant.” And it happened.
