The creation story

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.

God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
