Genesis 1:2-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
2 And the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. 3 Then God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light 'day,' and the darkness He called 'night.' And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6
Then God said, 'Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.'
7
God made the expanse, and separated the waters that were below the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse; and it was so.
8
God called the expanse 'heaven.' And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
King James Version
Chapter 1
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face 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 divided the light from the darkness.
5
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
