Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was on the surface of the watery depths. And God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
Now, the earth, had become waste and wild, and darkness, was on the face of the roaring deep, —but, the Spirit of God, was brooding on the face of the waters,
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
And God said—Light, be, And light was.
4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
And God saw the light, that it was, good, and God divided the light, from the, darkness;
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.
and God called the light, day, but the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening—and it was morning, one day.
6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And it was so.
And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a means of dividing, between waters and waters,
7 And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse.
And God made the expanse, and it divided between the waters that were under the expanse and the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.
8 And God called the expanse Sky. And God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
And God called the expanse, heavens. So it was evening—and it was morning, a, second day.
9 And God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered to one gathering, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. And the waters under the sky gathered to their gatherings, and the dry land appeared.
And God said—Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together, into one place, and let the dry—ground appear. And it was 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 called, the dry-ground, land, but the gathering together of the waters, called he seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, "Let the earth produce vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth." And it was so.
And God said—Let the land put-forth vegetation—herb yielding seed, fruit-tree, bearing fruit after its kind, whose seed is within it on the land. And it was so,
12 And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth. And God saw that it was good.
And the land brought-forth vegetation—herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, whose seed is within it, after its kind, And God saw that it was good.
13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
So it was evening—and it was morning, a third day.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky for the illumination of the day, to give light on the earth, and to rule the day and the night, and to separate between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years,
And God said—Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night, —and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
15 and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
yea let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.
16 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.
And God made the two great luminaries, —the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars.
17 And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth,
And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, —to give light on the earth;
18 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.
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 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
So it was evening—and it was morning, a fourth day.
20 And God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let flying creatures fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky." And it was so.
And God said—Let the waters swarm with an abundance of living soul, and, birds, shall fly over the earth, over the face of the expanse of the heavens.
21 And God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged flying creature after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
And God created the great sea-monsters, —and every living soul that moveth—[with] which the waters swarmed after their kind and every winged bird—after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the flying creatures multiply on the earth."
And God blessed them, saying, —Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let, the birds, multiply in the land.
23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
So it was evening—and it was morning, a fifth day.
24 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after its kind: tame animals, and crawling creatures, and wild animals of the earth after its kind." And it was so.
And God said—Let the land, bring forth, living soul, after its kind, tame-beast and creeping thing and wild-beast, of the land, after its kind. And it was so.
25 And God made the wild animals of the earth after its kind, and the tame animals after its kind, and everything that crawls on the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
And God made the wild-beast of the land after its kind, and the tame-beast after its kind, and every creeping thing of the ground, after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creature that crawls on the earth." And it was so.
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 bird of the heavens and over the tame-beast—and over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land.
27 And God created humankind in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
And God created the man in his own image, In the image of God, created he him, —Male and female, created he, them.
28 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over all the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over all the creatures that crawl on the earth."
And God blessed them, and God said to them Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, —and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.
29 And God said, "Look, I have given you every plant yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.
And God said—Lo! I have given to you—every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, —to you, shall it be, for food;
30 And to every wild animal of the earth, and to every tame animal of the earth, and to every flying creature of the sky, and to every creature that crawls on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green plant for food."
and to every living thing of the land—and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and look, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
And God saw every thing which he had made, and lo! it was very good. So it was evening—and it was morning, the sixth day.
