Genesis 1
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth —
2 The earth was without form and empty. Darkness was upon the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving above the surface of the waters.
the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,
3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
and God saith, 'Let light be;' and light is.
4 God saw the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness.
And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness,
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” This was evening and morning, the first day.
and God calleth to the light 'Day,' and to the darkness He hath called 'Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day one.
6 God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
And God saith, 'Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.'
7 God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. It was so.
And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
8 God called the expanse “sky.” This was evening and morning, the second day.
And God calleth to the expanse 'Heavens;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day second.
9 God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear.” It was so.
And God saith, 'Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so.
10 God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” He saw that it was good.
And God calleth to the dry land 'Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called 'Seas;' and God seeth that [it is] good.
11 God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit whose seed is in the fruit, each according to its own kind.” It was so.
And God saith, '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.
12 The earth produced vegetation, plants producing seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit whose seed was in it, after their kind. God saw that it was good.
And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that [it is] good;
13 This was evening and morning, the third day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day third.
14 God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to divide the day from the night and let them be as signs, for seasons, for days and years.
And God saith, '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 seasons, and for days and years,
15 Let them be lights in the sky to give light upon the earth.” It was so.
and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:' and it is so.
16 God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
And God maketh 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;
17 God set them in the sky to give light upon the earth,
and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,
18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that [it is] good;
19 This was evening and morning, the fourth day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day fourth.
20 God said, “Let the waters be filled with great numbers of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the expanse of the sky.”
And God saith, 'Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and fowl let fly on the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.'
21 God created the great sea creatures, as well as every living creature after its kind, creatures that move and which fill the waters everywhere, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
And God prepareth the great monsters, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every fowl with wing, after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.
22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas. Let birds multiply on the earth.”
And God blesseth them, saying, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl let multiply in the earth:'
23 This was evening and morning, the fifth day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day fifth.
24 God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures, each according to its own kind, livestock, creeping things, and beasts of the earth, each according to its own kind.” It was so.
And God saith, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind:' and it is so.
25 God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, the livestock after their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground after its kind. He saw that it was good.
And God maketh the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.
26 God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
And God saith, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.'
27 God created man in his own image. In his own image he created him. Male and female he created them.
And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply. Fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.'
29 God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the surface of all the earth, and every tree with fruit which has seed in it. They will be food to you.
And God saith, 'Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] upon 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;
30 To every beast of the earth, to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, and to every creature that has the breath of life I have given every green plant for food.” It was so.
and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl 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.
31 God saw everything that he had made. Behold, it was very good. This was evening and morning, the sixth day.
And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day the sixth.
