1Inthe beginning a God b creat-ed c the heavens and theearth. d

2 Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and there was darkness uponthe surface of the watery deep; e and God’s ac-tive force was moving to and fro fover the surface of the waters. g

3 And God proceeded to say: h“Let light come to be.” Then there came to be light. i 4 After that God saw that the light was good, and God brought about a division between the light and the darkness. j 5 And God be-gan calling the light Day, k but the darkness he called Night. l And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a first day.

6 And God went on to say:“Let an expanse m come to be in between the waters and let a di-viding occur between the waters and the waters.” n 7 Then God proceeded to make the expanse and to make a division between the waters that should be be-neath the expanse and the wa-ters that should be above the ex-panse. o And it came to be so.8 And God began to call the ex-panse Heaven. p And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a second day.

9 And God went on to say:“Let the waters under the heav-ens be brought together into one
place and let the dry land ap-pear.” q And it came to be so.10 And God began calling the dry land Earth, r but the bringing together of the waters he called Seas. s Further, God saw that it was good. t
