+ Genesis 1 >

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning God made the heaven 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,
But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.
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 the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and 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.
And 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 a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.
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.
And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
8 And God called the expanse, heavens. So it was evening—and it was morning, a, second day.
And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, 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 water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.
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.
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the 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,
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit-tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, 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.
And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, 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 firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for 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 be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as 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.
And God made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.
17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, —to give light on the earth;
And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as 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.
and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and 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 bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so.
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.
And God made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were 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.
And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied 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 the living creature according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, 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.
And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were 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.
And God said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
27 And God created the man in his own image, In the image of God, created he him, —Male and female, created he, them.
And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made 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.
And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on 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;
And God said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be 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 all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even 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 saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
