Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
2 But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.
and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters,
3 And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.
and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness.
And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates between the light and the darkness,
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
and God calls the light “Day,” and the darkness He has called “Night”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—day one.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.
And God says, “Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.”
7 And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
And God makes the expanse, and it separates between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
And God calls the expanse “Heavens”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] second day.
9 And God said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.
And God says, “Let the waters under the heavens be collected to one place, and let the dry land be seen”: and it is so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.
And God calls the dry land “Earth,” and the collection of the waters He has called “Seas”; and God sees that [it is] good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so.
And God says, “Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth”: and it is so.
12 And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God saw that it was good.
And the earth brings forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God sees that [it is] good;
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.
And God says, “Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for appointed times, and for days and years,
15 And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so.
and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”: and it is so.
16 And God made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.
And God makes the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary—and the stars—for the rule of the night;
17 And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth,
and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God sees that [it is] good;
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so.
And God says, “Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and let [the] bird fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.”
21 And God made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were good.
And God creates the great dragons, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every bird with wing, after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
22 And God blessed them saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth.
And God blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in the earth”:
23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so.
And God says, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, livestock and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind”: and it is so.
25 And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were good.
And God makes the beast of the earth after its kind, and the livestock after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
26 And God said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
And God says, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.”
27 And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them.
And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created them.
28 And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
And God blesses them, and God says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping on the earth.”
29 And God said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food.
And God says, “Behold, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] on the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;
30 And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was so.
and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food”: and it is so.
31 And God saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
And God sees all that He has done, and behold, [it is] very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—the sixth day.
