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. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
