ויאמר אלהים יהי רקיע בתוך המים ויהי מבדיל בין מים למים

ויעש אלהים את־הרקיע ויבדל בין המים אשר מתחת לרקיע ובין המים אשר מעל לרקיע ויהי־כן

ויקרא אלהים לרקיע שמים ויהי־ערב ויהי־בקר יום שני

And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. (ESV)

“As for you, you whitewash with lies;
     worthless physicians are you all.

Oh that you would keep silent,
     and it would be your wisdom!

Hear now my argument
     and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

Will you speak falsely for God
     and speak deceitfully for him?

Will you show partiality toward him?
     Will you plead the case for God?

Will it be well with you when he searches you out?
     Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man?

He will surely rebuke you
     if in secret you show partiality.

Will not his majesty terrify you,
     and the dread of him fall upon you?

Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
     your defenses are defenses of clay.”

-Job 13: 4-12

ויאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי אור

וירא אלהים את האור כי טוב ויבדל אלהים בין האור ובין החשך

ויקרא אלהים לאור יום ולחשך קרא לילה ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום אחד

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. (ESV)

The Prologue to the Book of Sirach: verses 1-3

1 Of the many great things given to us through the law and the prophets and through others who followed them, we should praise Israel for instruction and wisdom. Not only should those who read gain understanding, but also those who love learning should be able to help outsiders understand both through speaking and writing.

2 Thus my grandfather Jesus especially devoted himself to reading the law and the prophets and other books of the fathers. So he acquired sufficient skill in these, and himself was led to write something fitting for instruction and wisdom, that lovers of learning might become involved in these things as well, and especially, in addition to this, might live a life according to the law.

3 Therefore you are encouraged to read with good will and attention and to do your reading with allowances made in cases where, although we worked hard in translating, we may seem to render a phrase inadequately. For what was said in Hebrew in itself does not have equal force when it is translated into another language. Not only this, but also the law itself and the prophets and the rest of the books differ not a little as originally spoken.
