Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning God created heaven, and 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 void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
And God said: Be light made. And light was made.
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 he divided the light from 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 he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one 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 a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, 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 firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the 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.
God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done.
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 he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.
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 the green herb, and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit, having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
And the evening and the morning were the 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 made in the firmament of heaven, to divide 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.
To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.
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 two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser 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 he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon 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 the day and the night, and to divide 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 the evening and morning were the 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.”
God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven.
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 whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to 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 he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth.
23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
And the evening and morning were the 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 the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.
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 beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth 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 he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon 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 to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created 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, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon 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 bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat:
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 all beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done.
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 all the things that he had made, and they were very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth day.
