And there was evening and there was morning, one day. ⁶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. ⁷ And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. ⁸ And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. ⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear.

And it was so. ¹⁶ And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, also the stars. ¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth, ¹⁸ and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. ²⁰ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. ²¹ And God created the great sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. ²³ And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. ²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kind.

And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and have power over it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you it shall be for food, ³⁰ and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth in which there is life, for food-every green herb. And it was so. ³¹ And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city setting on a hill cannot be hid,

¹ And the agent who talked with me came again, and awoke me, as a man who is awakened out of his sleep. ² And he said to me, What do thou see? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top of it, ³ and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side of it. ⁴ And I answered and spoke to the agent who talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? ⁵ Then the agent who talked with me answered and said to me, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord. ⁶ Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says LORD of hosts. ⁷ Who are thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shall become a plain, and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, to it. ⁸ Moreover the word of LORD came to me, saying, ⁹ The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it. And thou shall know that LORD of hosts has sent me to you. ¹⁰ For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, the eyes of LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. ¹¹ Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the lampstand and upon the left side of it? ¹² And I answered the second time, and said to him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that empty the golden oil out of themselves? ¹³ And he answered me and said, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord. ¹⁴ Then he said, These are the two anointed ones, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city setting on a hill cannot be hid, ¹⁵ nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all in the house. ¹⁶ Thus your light should shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in the heavens.

⁵ Remember therefore from where thou have fallen, and repent and do the first works. And if not, I come to thee quickly, and will move thy lampstand out of its place, if thou do not repent.
