Genesis 1 & 2

ꤘꤣꤦ꤮ꤢ꤬ꤚꤣꤧ꤬ꤔꤢꤦ꤬ꤋꤢ

Long before there was any earth, sun or stars, God was living. Always He was living. The very first story in the Bible tells us how God made the world and everything in it. In the beginning, God made the heavens and the earth.

1:1

At first the earth had no shape and was empty. Everything was dark. But the Spirit of God was there.

God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. Then God separated the light and the darkness. He called the light "day" and He called the darkness "night." This was what God did on the first day. And He saw that what He had done was good.

1:3-5

Next God separated the waters and put a space between them. God called this space the "sky." He did this on the second day. And God saw that this was good.

1:6-8

On the third day, God caused the waters to come together so that dry ground would appear. He called the dry ground "land" and he called the waters that came together “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

1:9-10

That same day God said, "Let the land be filled with many kinds of trees and plants," and that’s what happened. All the plants made seeds, and all the trees had fruit with seeds so that there would always be plants and trees. And God saw that it was good.

On the fourth day God made lights in the sky—the sun and the moon and the stars, which made light for the earth and marked the seasons. The sun was for the day and the moon and stars for the night. And God saw that it was good.

God also made very many kinds of birds to fly in the sky. He blessed the fish and the birds saying,
