In context

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

2 Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

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

4 And 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.

6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
