In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
|
2 |
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
|
3 |
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
|
4 |
And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
|
5 |
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
|
6 |
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
|
7 |
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the firmament: and it was so.
|
8 |
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
|
9 |
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so.
|
10 |
And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that [it was] good.
|
11 |
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
|
12 |
And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
|
13 |
And the evening and the morning were the third day.
|
14 |
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
|
15 |
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
|
16 |
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
|
17 |
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
|
18 |
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good.
|
19 |
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
|
20 |
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
|
21 |
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
|
22 |
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
|
23 |
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
|
24 |
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
|
25 |
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
|
26 |
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
|
27 |
So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
|
28 |
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over ever
|
29 |
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for m
|
30 |
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein [there is] life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was so.
|
31 |
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
