I am using the Septuagint of the Complutensian Polyglot.

ἐν ἀρχῆ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν ὀυρανὸν κὰι τὴν γῆν.
In a beginning, the God created the heaven and the earth.

- God created heaven and earth for living creatures. It is understood that heaven was created and was inhabited by angels, and so Genesis describes how earth was created for habitation.

ἡ δὲ γῆ ἦν ἀόρατος κὰι ἀκατασκεύαστος.
But the earth was invisible and unformed.

- The earth was invisible because it was unlit, and unformed because its surface was a flat plane, not yet tectonically changed.

κὰι σκὸτος ἐπάνω τῆς αβύσσου.
And darkness [was] above the abyssal.

- The planar surface of earth was covered by water many miles deep, and above the water was the darkness that we see above the troposphere.

κὰι πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἐπεφέρετο ἐπάνω τοῦ ὕδατος.
And God's spirit brought [him] with himself and placed [him] upon the water.

- God arrives on the scene. God's spirit of truth brought and placed, like one brings and places an offering, the Lamb of God, he who walked upon the water. (See John 1:1-5).

κὰι ἐῖπεν ὁ θεὸς γενηθήτω φῶς. κὰι ἐγένετο φῶς.
And the God said, let a light be produced [(transformed)]. And light itself was produced [(transformed)].

- God's deep voice resonated in the water, and by cavitation and sonoluminescence produced the sunlight. In the darkness, the word of God is our light and transforms us into sons and daughters of light.

κὰι ἐῖδεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ φῶς, ὅτι καλόν.
And the God saw that the light was beautiful.

- God makes his creation beautiful.

κὰι διεχώρισεν ὁ θεὸς ἀναμέσον τοῦ φωτός, κὰι ἀναμέσον τοῦ σκότους.
And the God separated between the light and the darkness.

- God's hand occluded and moved the light, which would later be assigned to the sun. Boundaries!

κὰι ἐκάλεσεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ φῶς ἡμέραν, κὰι τὸ σκότος ἐκάλεσε νύκτα.
And the God named the light day, and he named the darkness night.

- God would later have the man, who God created in his likeness, name the animals.

κὰι ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα, κὰι ἐγένετο πρωΐ, ἡμέρα μία.
And evening happened, and morning happened, one day.

- God set the path of movement, possibly the solar analemma, as an example for the future. All this became the process of laboring within a day.

κὰι ἐῖπεν ὁ θεὸς γενηθήτω στερέωμα ἐν μέσω τοῦ ὕδατος.
And the God said, let a solid be transformed in [the] middle of the water.

- God's voice transformed some of the water into a solid, versus a liquid or gas, in the context of sunlight being present, possibly by sonofusion. My hypothesis is that the solid sky is deuterium or tritium amorphous ice.

κὰι ἔστω διαχωρίζον ἀναμέσον ὕδατος κὰι ὕδατος.
And let it [continue to] be [as] parting between a water and a water.

- God lifted the solid sky up, separating it from possibly three miles of water left upon the flat terrain. The solid sky is very thick and meant to be impenetrable by mortal creatures.

κὰι ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ στερέωμα.
And the God created the solid.

κὰι διεχώρισεν ὁ θεὸς ἀναμέσον τοῦ ὕδατος, ὃ ἦν ὑποκάτω τοῦ στερεώματος, κὰι ἀναμέσον τοῦ ὕδατος, τοῦ ἐπάνω τοῦ στερεώματος.
And the God separated between the water which was under the solid and the water above the solid.

κὰι ἐκάλεσεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ στερέωμα ὀυρανόν.
And the God named the solid sky.

κὰι ἐῖδεν ὁ θεὸς ὅτι καλόν.
And the God saw that it was beautiful.

κὰι ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα, κὰι ἐγένετο πρωΐ, ἡμέρα δευτέρα.
And evening happened, and morning happened, a second day.
