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.
