In the beginning...

when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God* swept over the face of the waters. Then 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.

Genesis 1:1 starts with "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

This is mirrored in Psalm 102 and the first chapter in book of John.

Psalm 102:25

"In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands."

John 1:1-3

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made."
