And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I ^areveal unto you concerning this ^bheaven, and this ^cearth; ^dwrite the words which I speak. I am the Beginning and the End, the ^eAlmighty God; by mine ^fOnly Begotten I ^gcreated these things; yea, in the beginning I ^hcreated the ⁱheaven, and the earth upon which thou standest.

 2 And the earth was without ^aform, and void; and I caused ^bdarkness to come up upon the face of the deep; and my ^cSpirit ^dmoved upon the face of the water; for I am God.

 3 And I, God, said: Let there be ^alight; and there was light.

 4 And I, God, saw the light; and that light was ^agood. And I, God, divided the ^blight from the darkness.

 5 And I, God, called the light Day; and the darkness, I called Night; and this I did by the ^aword of my power, and it was done as I ^bspake; and the evening and the morning were the first ^cday.

 6 And again, I, God, said: Let there be a ^afirmament in the midst of the water, and it was so, even as I spake; and I said: Let it divide the waters from the waters; and it was done;

 7 And I, God, made the firmament and divided the ^awaters, yea, the great waters under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament, and it was so even as I spake.

 8 And I, God, called the firmament ^aHeaven; and the evening and the morning were the second day.

 9 And I, God, said: Let the ^awaters under the heaven be gathered together unto ^bone place, and it was so; and I, God, said: Let there be dry land; and it was so.

 10 And I, God, called the dry land ^aEarth; and the gathering together of the waters, called I the Sea; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good.

 11 And I, God, said: Let the earth bring forth ^agrass, the herb yielding seed, the fruit tree yielding fruit, after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself upon the earth, and it was so even as I spake.

 12 And the earth brought forth grass, every herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself, after his ^akind; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good;

 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

 14 And I, God, said: Let there be ^alights in the firmament of the heaven, to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years;
