Genesis 1
1 In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
In the beginning Elohim 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,
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters.
3 and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
And Elohim 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 Elohim saw the light, that it was good: and Elohim 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 Elohim called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were 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 Elohim 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 Elohim 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 Elohim called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the 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.
And Elohim 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 Elohim called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and Elohim 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 Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, 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, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and Elohim 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 Elohim 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 Elohim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
And Elohim 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 Elohim saw that it was good.
19 and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day.
And the evening and the 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.”
And Elohim said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may 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 Elohim created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and Elohim 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 Elohim 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 the evening and the 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 Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his 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 Elohim made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and Elohim 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 Elohim 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.
So Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of Elohim 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 Elohim blessed them, and Elohim 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 moveth 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 Elohim said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for 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 every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: 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 Elohim saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
