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, 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,
Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 And God said—Light, be, And light was.
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was, good, and God divided the light, from the, darkness;
And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
5 and God called the light, day, but the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening—and it was morning, one day.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6 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,
And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
7 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.
So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
8 And God called the expanse, heavens. So it was evening—and it was morning, a, second day.
God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9 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.
And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.
10 And God called, the dry-ground, land, but the gathering together of the waters, called he seas. And God saw that it was good.
God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11 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,
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.” And it was so.
12 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.
The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
13 So it was evening—and it was morning, a third day.
And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
14 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;
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and years.
15 yea let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.
And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.
16 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.
God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well.
17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, —to give light on the earth;
God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon 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.
to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 So it was evening—and it was morning, a fourth day.
And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
20 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.
And God said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”
21 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.
So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every bird of flight 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 birds, multiply in the land.
Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
23 So it was evening—and it was morning, a fifth day.
And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
24 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.
And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.
25 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.
God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 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.
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”
27 And God created the man in his own image, In the image of God, created he him, —Male and female, created he, them.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
28 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.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.”
29 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;
Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food.
30 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.
And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31 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.
And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
