1In
the
beginning
God created
the heaven
and the
earth.
2And
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.
3And
God said,
Let there be
light: and
there was
light.
4And
God saw the
light, that it
was good:
and God
divided the
light from
the
darkness.
5And
God called
the light
Day, and the
darkness he
called
Night. And
the evening
and the
morning were
the first
day.
6And
God said,
Let there be
a firmament
in the midst
of the
waters, and
let it
divide the
waters from
the waters.
7And
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.
8And
God called
the
firmament
Heaven. And
the evening
and the
morning were
the second
day.
9And
God said,
Let the
waters under
the heaven
be gathered
together
unto one
place, and
let the dry land appear:
and it was
so.
10And
God called
the dry land Earth;
and the
gathering
together of
the waters
called he
Seas: and
God saw
that it
was good.
11And
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.
12And
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.
13And
the evening
and the
morning were
the third
day.
14And
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:
15And
let them be
for lights
in the
firmament of
the heaven
to give
light upon
the earth:
and it was
so.
16And
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.
17And
God set them
in the
firmament of
the heaven
to give
light upon
the earth,
18And
to rule over
the day and
over the
night, and
to divide
the light
from the
darkness:
and God saw
that it
was good.
19And
the evening
and the
morning were
the fourth
day.
20And
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.
21And
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.
22And
God blessed
them,
saying, Be
fruitful,
and
multiply,
and fill the
waters in
the seas,
and let fowl
multiply in
the earth.
23And
the evening
and the
morning were
the fifth
day.
24And
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.
25And
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.
26And
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.
27So
God created
man in his own image,
in the image
of God
created he
him; male
and female
created he
them.
28And
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.
29And
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.
30And
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.
31And
God saw
every thing
that he had
made, and,
behold, it
was very
good. And
the evening
and the
morning were
the sixth
day.
