Genesis 1
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
In [the] beginning God created 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.
and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters,
3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
4 God saw the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness.
And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates 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 calls the light “Day,” and the darkness He has 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 says, “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 makes the expanse, and it separates 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 calls the expanse “Heavens”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] second day.
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 says, “Let the waters under the heavens be collected to 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 calls the dry land “Earth,” and the collection of the waters He has called “Seas”; and God sees 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 says, “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 brings forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God sees that [it is] good;
13 This was evening and morning, the third day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] third day.
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 says, “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 appointed times, 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 on 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 makes 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 gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on 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 sees that [it is] good;
19 This was evening and morning, the fourth day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day.
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 says, “Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and let [the] bird fly above 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 creates the great dragons, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every bird with wing, after its kind, and God sees 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 blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in the earth”:
23 This was evening and morning, the fifth day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fifth day.
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 says, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, livestock 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 makes the beast of the earth after its kind, and the livestock after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God sees 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 says, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, 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 creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created 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 blesses them, and God says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping on 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 says, “Behold, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] on 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 bird 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 sees all that He has done, and behold, [it is] very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—the sixth day.
