1. The Creation of the World
by God

2. Sunday In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
God said ‘Let there be light, and there was light.

4. Monday
God said ‘Let there be an expanse to separate water from water …’

5. God called the expanse ‘sky’.

6. Tuesday
God said ‘Let the dry ground appear …’

7. God called the dry land ‘earth’ and the mass of the waters ‘seas’, and God saw that it was good.

8. Wednesday
God said ‘Let the land produce vegetation: seed bearing plants, and fruit trees on earth, bearing fruit with their seed inside …’

9. and God saw that it was good.

10. Thursday
God said ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night …’

11. And it was so. God made two great lights - the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

12. Friday
God said
‘Let the water teem with living creatures,

13. and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky…

14. … let the earth produce every kind of living creature in its own species: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals of all kinds.’

15. God said ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves,

16. and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals, and all the creatures that creep along the ground.’

17. Saturday
The heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

18. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing: so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
