Genesis 1:1-5

Lexham English Bible

The Creation

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth— ² Now^[a] the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. ³ And God said, “Let there be light!” And there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good, and God caused there to be a separation between the light and between the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
