In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. |
|
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. |
|
And God said, |
|
Let there be light |
|
and there was light. |
|
And God saw the light, |
|
that it was good... |
