1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

²⁶ For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

¹² Huram said moreover, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the Lord, and an house for his kingdom.

⁶ Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

⁸ Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
