Genesis 1:1-10

New International Version

³ And God said,^(J) “Let there be light,” and there was light.^{(K) 4} God saw that the light was good,^(L) and he separated the light from the darkness.^{(M) 5} God called^(N) the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”^(O) And there was evening, and there was morning^(P)—the first day.

⁶ And God said,^(Q) “Let there be a vault^(R) between the waters^(S) to separate water from water.” ⁷ So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it.^(T) And it was so.^{(U) 8} God called^(V) the vault “sky.”^(W) And there was evening, and there was morning^(X)—the second day.

⁹ And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place,^(Y) and let dry ground^(Z) appear.” And it was so.^{(AA) 10} God called^(AB) the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters^(AC) he called “seas.”^(AD) And God saw that it was good.^(AE)
