Gen. 1:1‑2:25• 1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2And 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.
3And God said, Light be: and light was.
4And God saw the light that [it was] good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning, one day.
6And God said, Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and dividing be between waters and waters.
7And 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.
8And God called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day,
9And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry [land] appear. And it was so.
10And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that [it was] good.
11And 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.
12And 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.
13And there was evening, and there was morning, a third day.
14And 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;
15and let them be for light-bearers in [the] expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth. And it was so.
16And God made the two great lights, the greater light for ruling the day, and the lesser light for ruling the night (the stars also).
17And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth
18and 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.
19And there was evening, and there was morning, a fourth day.
20And 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.
21And 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.
22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.
23And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24And 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.
25And 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.
26And 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.
27And God created Man in his image, in God's image created he him; male and female created he them.
28And 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.
29And 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;
30and 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.
31And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
1And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
2And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it; because that on it he had rested from all his work which God had created in making .
4These [are]; the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens.
5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground,
6but a mist went up from the earth and moistened all the surface of the ground.
7And Jehovah Elohim formed Man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils breath of life; and Man became a living soul.
8And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put Man whom he had formed.
9And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowing good and evil.
10And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from thence it was parted and became four heads.
11The name of the one [is] Pison, that which compasseth all the land of Havilah, where the gold [is],
12and the gold of that land is good; there [is] the bdellium and the onyx stone .
13And the name of the second river [is] Gihon, that which encompasseth all the land of Cush.
14And the name of the third [is] Hiddekel, that which goeth forth before Assyria. And the fourth river [is] Euphrates.
15And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden to till it and to keep it.
16And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;
17but of the tree of knowing good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it thou shalt surely die.
18And Jehovah Elohim said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone: I will make him a help answering to him.
19And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the heavens, and brought them to the man, to see what he would call them; and all that the man called a living creature , that was its name.
20And the man gave names to all the cattle, and to bird of the heavens, and to every animal of the field; but for Adam was not found a help answering to him.
21And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs, and closed up flesh in its stead.
22And the rib which Jehovah Elohim had taken from the man he built into a woman, and. brought her unto the man.
23And the man said, This time [it is] bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh this shall be called Woman [Ishshah], because out of man [Ish] was taken this.
24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
25And they were both of them naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. (Gen. 1:1‑2:25)
