1. In the beginning Elohim created hashomayim (the heavens, Himel) and haaretz (the earth).
2. And the earth was tohu vavohu (without form, and void); and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Ruach Elohim was hovering upon the face of the waters.
3. And Elohim said, Let there be light: and there was light [Tehillim 33:6,9].
4. And Elohim saw the light, that it was tov (good); and Elohim divided the ohr (light) from the choshech (darkness).
