Genesis 1
1 In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
At the first God made the heaven and the 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 waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters.
3 and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates between the light and the darkness,
And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,
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.
Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first 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 solid arch stretching over the waters, parting 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 the arch for a division between the waters which were under the arch and those which were over it: 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 gave the arch the name of Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, 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.
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.
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 gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named 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 God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so.
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 grass came up on the earth, and every plant producing seed of its sort, and every tree producing fruit, in which is its seed, of its sort: and God saw that it was good.
13 and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] third day.
And there was evening and there was morning, 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 in the arch of heaven, for a division between the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for marking the changes of the year, and for days and for years:
15 and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”: and it is so.
And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
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 the two great lights: the greater light to be the ruler of the day, and the smaller light to be the ruler of the night: and he made the stars.
17 and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on 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;
To have rule over the day and the night, and for a division between the light and the dark: and God saw that it was good.
19 and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day.
And there was evening and there was morning, 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.”
And God said, Let the waters be full of living things, and let birds be in flight over the earth under the arch 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 made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: 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 God gave them his blessing, saying, Be fertile and have increase, making all the waters of the seas full, and let the birds be increased in the earth.
23 and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fifth day.
And there was evening and there was morning, 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 give birth to all sorts of living things, cattle and all things moving on the earth, and beasts of the earth after their sort: and it was so.
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 beast of the earth after its sort, and the cattle after their sort, and everything moving on the face of the earth after its sort: 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 God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on 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 made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made 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 gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on 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, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your food:
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 every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.
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 everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
