the beginning God
created the heaven
and the earth. |
||
|
|
|
In the first times the Lord created the heavens and the earth. |
And the earthwas
without form,
and void; and darkness
was upon the face
of the deep. And the Spirit
of God moved
upon the face
of the waters. Jer.

there be light:

divided the light
from the darkness. |
