1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was]
upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters.
1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
1:4 And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided
the light from the darkness.
1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called
Night: and the evening and the morning were the first day.
1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
1:7 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.
1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven: and the evening and the
morning were the second day.
1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered
into one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so.
1:10 And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the collection of
waters he called Seas: and God saw that it [was] good.
1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb
yielding seed, [and] the fruit-tree yielding fruit after its
kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed
after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was]
in itself, after its kind: and God saw that it [was] good.
1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the
heaven, to divide the day from the night: and let them be for
signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven,
to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule
the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the
stars also.
1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven, to give
light upon the earth.
1:18 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.
1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the
moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above
the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature
that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after
their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw
that [it was] good.
1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply,
and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the
earth.
1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature
after his kind, cattle, and the creeping animal, and the beast
of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and
cattle after their kind, and every animal that creepeth upon
the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
1:26 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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all
the earth, and over every creeping animal that creepeth upon
the earth.
1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female created he them.
1:28 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 fowl of the
air, and over every living animal that moveth upon the earth.
1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing
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.
1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the
air, and to every animal that creepeth upon the earth, in which
[is] life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was
so.
1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, [it
was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth
day.
