Creation of Light and Darkness

the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 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. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good, and he 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—the first day.
