Genesis 1:1 In-Context
1
In 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.
