Gen 1:1-31
1 In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth.
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.
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 the evening and the morning
were the first 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 the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters
under the heaven 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 bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding
fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was
so.
12 And the earth brought
forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding
fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was
good.
13 And the evening and the
morning were the third day.
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:
15 And let them be for lights
in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was
so.
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.
17 And God set them in the
firmament of the 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 the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
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.
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.
22 And God blessed them,
saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and
let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the
morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the
earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping
thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast
of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing
that creepeth upon the earth after his 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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth.
27 So 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
fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
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 the which is the fruit of a tree yielding
seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of
the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth
upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for
meat: and it was so.
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.
