In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God [was] brooding upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Light be: and light was.
And God saw the light that [it was] good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning, one day.
And God said, Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and dividing be between waters and waters.
And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that [are] under the expanse and the waters that [are] above the expanse: and it was so.
And God called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day,
And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry [land] appear. And it was so.
And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that [it was] good.
And God said, Let the earth sprout grass, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which [is] in them, on the earth. And it was so.
And the earth sprouted grass , herb producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which [is] in them after their kind. And God saw that [it was] good.
And there was evening, and there was morning, a third day.
And God said, Let there be light-bearers in [the] expanse of the heavens to divide between the day and between the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;
and let them be for light-bearers in [the] expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth. And it was so.
And God made the two great lights, the greater light for ruling the day, and the lesser light for ruling the night (the stars also).
And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that [it was] good.
And there was evening, and there was morning, a fourth day.
And God said, Let the waters swarm a swarm of living creatures , and let birds fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.
And God created the great whales and every living creature 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 blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the field, after its kind. And it was so.
And God made beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after its kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind. And God saw that [it was] good.
And God said, Let Us make men in Our image, after Our likeness; and let them have dominion over fish of the sea, and over bird of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
And God created Man in his image, in God’s image created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over fish of the sea and bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that creepeth on the earth.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree producing seed: to you it shall be for food;
and to every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, in which [is] a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.
And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
