Genesis 1
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.
