The Creation of the World

In the beginning God said, ‘Let there be light’, and there was light; and God saw that the light was good, and he separated light from darkness. He called the light day, and the darkness night. So evening came, and morning came, the first day.
And on the second God made the heaven. Evening came, and morning came, a second day.
God said, ‘Let the waters under heaven be gathered into one place, so that dry land may appear’; and so it was. God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters he called seas; and God saw that it was good. Evening came, and morning came, a third day.
God said, ‘Let there be lights in the vault of heaven to separate day from night, and let them serve as signs both for festivals and for seasons and years. Let them also shine in the vault of heaven to give light on earth. ’So it was ; God made the two great lights, the greater to govern the day and the lesser to govern the night; and with them he made the stars. Evening came, and morning came, a fourth day.
God, said, ‘Let the waters teem with countless living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of heaven. ’ Evening came, and morning came, a fifth day.
God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures, according to their kind:cattle, reptiles, and wild animals, all according to their kind. ’So it was; Evening came, and morning came, a sixth day.
Thus heaven and earth were completed with al their mighty throng. On the sixth day God completed all the work he had been doing, and on the seventh day he ceased from al his work. This is the story of the making of heaven and earth when they were created.
