1:1 In the beginning Elohim made the heaven and
the earth.
1:2 But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the
deep, and the Spirit of Elohim moved over the water.
1:3 And Elohim said, Let there be light, and there was light.
1:4 And Elohim saw the light that it was good, and Elohim divided between the
light and the darkness.
1:5 And Elohim called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and
there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
1:6 And Elohim said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and
let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.
1:7 And Elohim made the firmament, and Elohim divided between the water which was
under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
1:8 And Elohim called the firmament Heaven, and Elohim saw that it was good, and
there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
1:9 And Elohim said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into
one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which
was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land
appeared.
1:10 And Elohim called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he
called Seas, and Elohim saw that it was good.
1:11 And Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed
according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit-tree
bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and
it was so.
1:12 And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to
its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit
whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and Elohim saw that it
was good.
1:13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
1:14 And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to
give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be
for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.
1:15 And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to
shine upon the earth, and it was so.
1:16 And Elohim made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the
day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.
1:17 And Elohim placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon
the earth,
1:18 and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the
darkness. And Elohim saw that it was good.
1:19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
1:20 And Elohim said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and
winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it
was so.
1:21 And Elohim made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters
brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with
wings according to its kind, and Elohim saw that they were good.
1:22 And Elohim blessed them saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters
in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth.
1:23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
1:24 And Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according
to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according
to their kind, and it was so.
1:25 And Elohim made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and
cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according
to their kind, and Elohim saw that they were good.
1:26 And Elohim said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying
creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the
reptiles that creep on the earth.
1:27 And Elohim made man, according to the image of Elohim he made him, male and
female he made them.
1:28 And Elohim blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth
and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying
creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the
reptiles that creep on the earth.
1:29 And Elohim said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing
seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the
fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food.
1:30 And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying
creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has
in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was
so.
1:31 And Elohim saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were
very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. |
1:1 In the beginning Elohim created the heaven
and the earth. 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness
was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of
the waters.
1:3 And Elohim said, Let there be light: and there was light.
1:4 And Elohim saw the light, that it was good: and Elohim divided the light from
the darkness.
1:5 And Elohim called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the
evening and the morning were the first day.
1:6 And Elohim said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters from the waters.
1:7 And Elohim made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the
firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
1:8 And Elohim called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning
were the second day.
1:9 And Elohim said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto
one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
1:10 And Elohim called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the
waters called he Seas: and Elohim saw that it was good.
1:11 And Elohim 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.
1:12 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 Elohim saw that it was good.
1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
1:14 And Elohim 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:
1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth: and it was so.
1:16 And Elohim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and
the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
1:17 And Elohim set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
earth,
1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light
from the darkness: and Elohim saw that it was good.
1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
1:20 And Elohim 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.
1:21 And Elohim 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 Elohim saw that it was good.
1:22 And Elohim blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the
waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
1:24 And Elohim 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.
1:25 And Elohim 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
Elohim saw that it was good.
1:26 And Elohim 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.
1:27 So Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of Elohim created he
him; male and female created he them.
1:28 And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim 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.
1:29 And Elohim 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.
1:30 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.
1:31 And Elohim saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very
good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. |
