The Creation

1 In the beginning God created heaven and earth.

² The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep water. The Spirit of God was hovering over the water.

⁶ Then God said, “Let there be a horizon in the middle of the water in order to separate the water.” ⁷ So God made the horizon and separated the water above and below the horizon. And so it was. ⁸ God named ⌞what was above⌟ the horizon sky. There was evening, then morning—a second day.
