Gen 1
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 to 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 its seed, 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 its seed, 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 moves, 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 creeps 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 creeps 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 to 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 moves 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 creeps 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.
