Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.
4 And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning — the first day.
6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters.
7 So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so.
8 God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
And God called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning — a second day.
9 And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.
And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry [land] appear. And it was so.
10 God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.” And it was so.
And God said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth. And it was so.
12 The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
And the earth brought forth grass, herb producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in them, after their kind. And God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
And there was evening, and there was morning — a third day.
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and years.
And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
15 And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.
and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.
16 God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well.
And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, — and the stars.
17 God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,
And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth,
18 to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
and to rule during the day and during the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
And there was evening, and there was morning — a fourth day.
20 And God said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”
And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens.
21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every bird of flight after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
And God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply on the earth.
23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
And there was evening, and there was morning — a fifth day.
24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth living souls after their kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth, after their kind. And it was so.
25 God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”
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 heavens, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth.
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.”
And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth.
29 Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you;
30 And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.
31 And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning — the sixth day.
