Verses 1–10
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night: and the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament; and divided the waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven: and the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered into one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the collection of waters he called Seas: and God saw that it [was] good.
