Summary
GENESIS 1:1–2:3 CREATION OVERTURE
(1:1) In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth,
(1:2) the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
(1:3) Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
(1:4) And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.
(1:5) God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
(1:6) And God said, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”
(1:7) So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so.
(1:8) God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
(1:9) And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.
(1:10) God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
