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

    2 Now 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.

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

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

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

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

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

    11 Then 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.
