+ Genesis 1 >

1 In the beginning God created the heauen and the earth.
In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without forme and void, and darkenesse was vpon the deepe, and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the waters.
But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.
3 Then God said, Let there be light: And there was light.
And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.
4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated the light from the darkenes.
And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness.
5 And God called the Light, Day, and the darkenes, he called Night. So the euening and the morning were the first day.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 Againe God said, Let there be a firmament in the mids of the waters: and let it separate the waters from the waters.
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.
7 Then God made the firmament, and separated the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters which were aboue the firmament: and it was so.
And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
8 And God called the firmament Heauen. So the Euening and the morning were the second day.
And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9 God said againe, Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appeare. and it was so.
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.
10 And God called the dry land, Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters, Seas: and God saw that it was good.
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, Let the earth bud forth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seed, the fruitfull tree, which beareth fruite according to his kinde, which hath his seede in it selfe vpon the earth: and it was so.
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.
12 And the earth brought foorth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seede according to his kind, also the tree that beareth fruit, which hath his seed in it selfe according to his kinde: and God saw that it was good.
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.
13 So the euening and the morning were the third day.
And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heauen, to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signes, and for seasons, and for dayes and yeeres.
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.
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heauen to giue light vpon the earth: and it was so.
And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so.
16 God then made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesse light to rule the night: he made also the starres.
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.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to shine vpon the earth,
And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth,
18 And to rule in the day, and in the night, and to separate the light from the darkenesse: and God saw that it was good.
and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 So the euening and the morning were the fourth day.
And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
20 Afterward God said, Let the waters bring foorth in abundance euery creeping thing that hath life: and let the foule flie vpon the earth in the open firmament of the heauen.
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.
21 Then God created the great whales, and euery thing liuing and mouing, which the waters brought foorth in abundance according to their kinde, and euery fethered foule according to his kinde: and God sawe that it was good.
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.
22 Then God blessed them, saying, Bring foorth fruite and multiplie, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the foule multiplie in the earth.
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.
23 So the euening and the morning were the fifte day.
And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
24 Moreouer God said, Let the earth bring foorth the liuing thing according to his kinde, cattel, and that which creepeth, and the beast of the earth, according to his kinde. and it was so.
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.
25 And God made the beast of the earth according to his kinde, and the cattell according to his kinde, and euery creeping thing of the earth according to his kind: and God saw that it was good.
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.
26 Furthermore God said, Let vs make man in our image according to our likenes, and let them rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer the beastes, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery thing that creepeth and moueth on the earth.
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.
27 Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female.
And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, Bring forth fruite and multiplie, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer euery beast that moueth vpon the earth.
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.
29 And God said, Beholde, I haue giuen vnto you euery herbe bearing seede, which is vpon al the earth, and euery tree, wherein is the fruite of a tree bearing seede: that shall be to you for meate.
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.
30 Likewise to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the heauen, and to euery thing that moueth vpon the earth, which hath life in it selfe, euery greene herbe shall be for meate. and it was so.
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.
31 And God sawe all that he had made, and loe, it was very good. So the euening and the morning were the sixt day.
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.
