In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. But the earth had no shape. It was empty, covered with only darkness and water.

Then God divided the light from the darkness and He called the light the daytime and the darkness He called night time. This was the first day.

God divided the waters below from the waters above to make the sky and the sea. This was the second day.

After this God said, "Let the water under the heaven be gathered together in one place,

and let the dry land appear, " and it happened.

On the third day God said, "Let the earth produce grass, and plants, and fruit trees, " and it happened; And God saw that it was good.

and the moon to rule by night. He also made the stars.

On the fifth day God made the whales and fish

and the birds.

On the sixth day God made all of the animals and insects. God saw that it was good.
