| 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 And
the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters 3 And God said, Let
there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was
good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the
light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there
was morning, one day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament,
and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which
were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament
Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto
one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called
the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas:
and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, Let the earth put forth
grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their
kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And
the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and
trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God
saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, a
third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide
the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for
days and years: 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven
to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And 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. 17 And God set them in the
firmament of heaven to give light 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. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, a
fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and
let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God
created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth,
wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after
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 birds
multiply on the earth. 23 And there was evening and there was morning, a
fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their
kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind:
and it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind,
and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground
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 birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth. 27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them:
and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,
and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds
of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which
is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a
tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food: 30 and to every beast of
the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth
upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb
for food: and it was so. 31 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.
