Genesis 1
1 In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
IN THE beginning God created 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,
Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over 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 saw the light, that it was good; and God 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 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was 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 in the midst of 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 the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which 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 there was evening and there was morning, a 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 be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.' 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 called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called He 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 the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' 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 the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind; 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, a 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 firmament of the heaven to divide the day from 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.
and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon 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 rule the day, and the 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 God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light 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 over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; 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, a 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 swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open 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 sea-monsters, and every living creature that creepeth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged fowl after 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 God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply 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, a 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 after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind.' 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 kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground 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 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 air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth 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 in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He 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; and God said unto them: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creepeth 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 yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed — to you it shall be for 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 fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb 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 every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
