In the Beginning

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
The earth was formless and empty
And darkness covered the deep waters
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters

Then God said "Let there be light"
And there was light
And God saw that the light was good
Then he separated the light from the darkness
God called the light "day" and the darkness "night"

And evening passed and morning came
Marking the first day

Then God said "Let there be a space between the waters
To separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth"
And that is what happened
God made this space to separate the waters of the earth
From the waters of the heavens
God called the space "sky"

And evening passed and morning came
Marking the second day

The God said "Let the waters beneath the sky flow together
Into one place so dry ground may appear"
And that is what happened
God called the dry ground "land" and the waters "seas"
And God saw that it was good

Then God said "Let the land sprout with vegetation
Every sort of seed bearing plant
And trees that grow seed bearing fruit
These seeds will then produce
The kinds of plants and trees from which they came"

And that is what happened
The land produced vegetation
All sorts of seed bearing plants
And trees with seed bearing fruit
Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind

And God saw that it was good
