1 In [the] beginning*+ God*+ created+ the heavens and the earth.+

2 Thus the heavens and the earth and all their army came to their completion.+

13 Moreover, my own hand laid the foundation of the earth,+ and my own right hand extended out the heavens.+ I am calling to them, that they may keep standing together.+

12 A pronouncement:

“The word of Jehovah concerning Israel,” is the utterance of Jehovah, the One who is stretching out [the] heavens+ and laying the foundation of [the] earth+ and forming the spirit+ of man* inside him.
