Genesis 1
1 In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.
2 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,
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 says, “Let light be”; and light is.
And God said: Be light made. And light was made.
4 And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates between the light and the darkness,
And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.
5 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.
And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.
6 And God says, “Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.”
And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 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.
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 And God calls the expanse “Heavens”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] second day.
And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.
9 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.
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 And God calls the dry land “Earth,” and the collection of the waters He has called “Seas”; and God sees that [it is] 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 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.
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 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;
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 is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] third day.
And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 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,
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 they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”: and it is so.
To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.
16 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;
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 and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth.
18 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;
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 is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day.
And the evening and morning were the fourth day.
20 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.”
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 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.
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 And God blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in 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 is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fifth day.
And the evening and morning were the fifth day.
24 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a 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 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.”
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
And God saw all the things that he had made, and they were very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth day.
