By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”
By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
When you send forth your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts! Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars! Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the Lord! For he commanded and they were created.
And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.
And they shall be spread before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and served, which they have gone after, and which they have sought and worshiped. And they shall not be gathered or buried. They shall be as dung on the surface of the ground.
