In the beginning, God created heaven and the earth
The earth was without form and void, darkness upon her deep
Upon the face of the water, His spirit walked
God said let there be light and there was light
The evening and the morning is the first day
He made two lights to shine upon the world
One by the day another by the night
God made the firmament, the water He divided
The firmament is heaven, He called
The evening and the morning is the second day
In one place the water under heaven gathered
There sprung up grass and trees on dry land
The water became the sea, the dry land earth
God made the earth yield fruits after his kind
The evening and the morning is the third day
Under the firmament of heaven, God made the light
To distinguish the day from the night
By the day, He made the sun the greater light
The lesser light, the moon He made by the night
The evening and the morning is the fourth day
God created great whales and every living creature that moveth
In the water came fishes of every kind
Birds were created and blessed to multiply the earth
The world is beautiful and good in the sight of God
The evening and the morning is the fifth day
On the sixth day, the earth bringeth forth
Cattle and creeping thing, living creature after his kind
God created man in His image
Man became a living soul, gave man life and breath
Gave man and woman dominion over the earth
God blessed the seventh day and satisfy it
The greatness of all the work which He had made
These mark the generations of heaven and the earth
God rested on the seventh day
Which is called the sabbath day
