In the beginning God created. And said
God, Let there be light. And God said,
Let there be a firmament. And God said, Let be collected
the waters. And God said, Bring forth grass
the earth. And God said, Let there be
lights. And God said, Let swarm
the water. And God said, Bring forth
the earth. And God said, Let us make
man. And God said, Behold I have given you.
And God saw all that
he had made, and behold it was very good. And he said, I
am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham
and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
YHVH, YHVH, a God merciful and gracious, the Existent, YHVH.
