10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good. 9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning-the second day. 6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
