Bereshit/In the beginning/Genesis
Chapter 1
In the beginning, ELOHIM/God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was upon the face of the abyss. And a spirit of ELOHIM/GOD hovered over the face of the waters. ELOHIM said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. ELOHIM saw that the light was good, and ELOHIM separated the light from the darkness. ELOHIM called the light Day and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning, ONE day.
And ELOHIM said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, that it may separate waters from waters.” And ELOHIM made the expanse/firmament/sky/heavens, and it separated the waters which was below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. And it was so. And ELOHIM called the expanse Shamayim/Skies/heavens/visible heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning, second day.
And ELOHIM said, “Let the waters collect from under the shamayim/heavens/kies to ONE place/location/region, and you may see the dry land.” And it was so. And called ELOHIM, the dry land Earth, and the gathering of waters He called Seas. And ELOHIM saw that this was good. And ELOHIM said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: seed-bearing plants, fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants of every kind and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in them. And ELOHIM saw that this was good. And there was evening, and there was morning, third day.
And ELOHIM said, “Let there be lights inside the expanse, the heavens, to separate day from night; they shall serve as signs for the set times—the days and the years; and they will be for lights inside the expanse, the skies, to shine upon the earth.” And it was so. And ELOHIM made the two great lights, the biggest light to dominate the day and the small light to dominate the night and the stars. And ELOHIM set them inside the expanse, the heavens/skies, to shine upon the earth, to rule the day and in the night, and to separate between the light and the darkness. And ELOHIM saw that this was good. And there was evening, and there was morning, fourth day.
