Chapter 1 | |
1 | In the
1beginning God 2created the heaven and the earth.
|
2 | And the earth was 1without 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,
1Let 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 1Heaven. And the evening and the morning were
the second day.
|
9 | And God
said, Let the 1waters 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 1herb 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, 1Let 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 1rule 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 1waters 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 1fruitful, 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 1kind,
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 1us 2make
man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have 3dominion 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 1image of God created he him; 2male and female created he them.
|
28 | And God 1blessed them, and
God said unto them, Be 2fruitful, 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
1,ameat.
|
30 | And to every
1beast 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 1made, and, behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
