1 In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth --

² the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,

³ and God saith, `Let light be;' and light is.

⁴ And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness,

⁵ and God calleth to the light `Day,' and to the darkness He hath called `Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day one.
