1 In the beginning [1] God [2] created [3] the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void [4]; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 and God saw the light, that is was [*] good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and die darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters form the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament form the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God colled the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and is was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that is was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after hin kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

[1] In the beginning (Heb. bereshit): Creation marks the absolute beginning of the temporal and material world. The traditional Jewish and Christina belief is tha Genesis 1:1 declares that Gog created the original heaven and earth from nothing (Lat. ex nihilo) and that verse 2 clarifies that when it came from the Creator's hand, the mass was "without form, and void," unformed and without any life.
[2] God (Heb. Elohim): This form of the divine name occurs 2,570 times in the Old Testament. The plural ending im indicates a plural of majesty and takes a singular verb.
[3] Created (Heb. bara): This verb is used exclusively with God as its subject. It refers to the instantaneous and miraculous art of God by which He brought the universe into existence. [...]
[4] Without form, and void (Heb. tohu wabohu, "unformed and unfilled") describes the condition of earth after the initial act of Creation. It does not describe a chaotic condition as a result of judgment.
