Torah Reading
Genesis 1 : 1 – 6 : 8
Creation in Six Days
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was chaos and waste, darkness was on the surface of the deep, and the Ruach Elohim was hovering upon the surface of the water.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good. So God distinguished the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” So there was evening and there was morning—one day.
6 Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the water! Let it be for separating water from water.”
7 So God made the expanse and it separated the water that was below the expanse from the water that was over the expanse. And it happened so.
8 God called the expanse “sky.” So there was evening and there was morning—a second day.
9 Then God said, “Let the water below the sky be gathered to one place. Let the dry ground appear.” And it happened so.
10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the collection of the water He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

Haftarah Reading
Isaiah 42: 5 – 43 : 10
5 Thus says God, Adonai, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it, and Ruach to those who walk in it—
6 “I, Adonai, called You in righteousness, I will take hold of Your hand, I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the nations,
7 by opening blind eyes, bringing prisoners out of the dungeon, and those sitting in darkness out of the prison house.
8 “I am Adonai—that is My Name! My glory I will not give to another, Or My praise to graven images.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I announce them to you.”
10 Sing to Adonai a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea with all its fullness, islands and their inhabitants.
11 Let the desert and its cities exult— the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the dwellers of Sela sing for joy. Let them shout for joy from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory to Adonai and declare His praise in the islands.
13 Adonai goes out as a mighty one. He stirs up His zeal like a man of war. He will shout, yes, raise a war cry! He will prevail over His enemies.
14 “I have held My peace a long time, I have been still and restrained Myself. Now like a woman in labor I groan, gasping and panting at once.

Brit Chadashah Reading
John 1 : 1 – 14
The Word Becomes Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 All things were made through Him, and apart from Him nothing was made that has come into being.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that through him everyone might believe.
8 He was not the light, but he came to bear witness concerning the light.
9 The true light, coming into the world, gives light to every man.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him; but the world did not know Him.

Colossians 1 : 15 – 17
Ben-Elohim Is Supreme
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 For by Him all things were created— in heaven and on earth, the seen and the unseen, whether thrones or angelic powers or rulers or authorities. All was created through Him and for Him.
17 He exists before everything, and in Him all holds together.

Hebrews 1 : 1 – 3
Superiority of the Son
1 At many times and in many ways, God spoke long ago to the fathers through the prophets.
2 In these last days He has spoken to us through a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things and through whom He created the universe.
3 This Son is the radiance of His glory and the imprint of His being, upholding all things by His powerful word. When He had made purification for our sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
