Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth —
2 But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.
the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,
3 And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.
and God saith, 'Let light be;' and light is.
4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness.
And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness,
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
and God calleth to the light 'Day,' and to the darkness He hath called 'Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day one.
6 And God 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.
And God saith, 'Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.'
7 And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
And God calleth to the expanse 'Heavens;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day second.
9 And God 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.
And God saith, 'Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.
And God calleth to the dry land 'Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called 'Seas;' and God seeth that [it is] good.
11 And God 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.
And God saith, 'Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so.
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 God saw that it was good.
And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that [it is] good;
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day third.
14 And God 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.
And God saith, 'Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years,
15 And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so.
and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:' and it is so.
16 And God made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.
And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary — and the stars — for the rule of the night;
17 And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth,
and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,
18 and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that [it is] good;
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day fourth.
20 And God 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.
And God saith, 'Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and fowl let fly on the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.'
21 And God 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 God saw that they were good.
And God prepareth the great monsters, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every fowl with wing, after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth.
And God blesseth them, saying, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl let multiply in the earth:'
23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day fifth.
24 And God 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.
And God saith, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind:' and it is so.
25 And God 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 God saw that they were good.
And God maketh the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.
26 And God 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.
And God saith, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.'
27 And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them.
And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.
28 And God 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.
And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.'
29 And God 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.
And God saith, 'Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;
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.
and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food:' and it is so.
31 And God 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.
And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day the sixth.
