Genesis 1
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning God created heaven, and 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,
And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.
3 And God said—Light, be, And light was.
And God said: Be light made. And light was made.
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 he divided 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.
And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one 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 made amidst the waters: and let it divide 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.
And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.
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 the evening and morning were 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.
God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done.
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 gathering together 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 he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.
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 green herb, and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit, having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
13 So it was evening—and it was morning, a third day.
And the evening and the morning were 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 made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for 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.
To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.
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 two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars.
17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, —to give light on the earth;
And he set them in the firmament of heaven 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 rule the day and the night, and to divide 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 the evening and morning were 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.
God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven.
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 created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to 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.
And he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth.
23 So it was evening—and it was morning, a fifth day.
And the evening and morning were 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 in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.
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 beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after 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.
And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon 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 created man to his own image: to 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.
And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move 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;
And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat:
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 beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done.
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 they were very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth day.
