+ Genesis 1 >

1 At the first God made the heaven and the earth.
In the beginning God created the heauen and the earth.
2 And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters.
And the earth was without forme and void, and darkenesse was vpon the deepe, and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Then God said, Let there be light: And there was light.
4 And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,
And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated the light from the darkenes.
5 Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
And God called the Light, Day, and the darkenes, he called Night. So the euening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.
Againe God said, Let there be a firmament in the mids of the waters: and let it separate the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the arch for a division between the waters which were under the arch and those which were over it: and it was so.
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.
8 And God gave the arch the name of Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
And God called the firmament Heauen. So the Euening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.
God said againe, Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appeare. and it was so.
10 And God gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named Seas: and God saw that it was good.
And God called the dry land, Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters, Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so.
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.
12 And grass came up on the earth, and every plant producing seed of its sort, and every tree producing fruit, in which is its seed, of its sort: and God saw that it was good.
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.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
So the euening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the arch of heaven, for a division between the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for marking the changes of the year, and for days and for years:
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.
15 And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heauen to giue light vpon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made the two great lights: the greater light to be the ruler of the day, and the smaller light to be the ruler of the night: and he made the stars.
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.
17 And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;
And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to shine vpon the earth,
18 To have rule over the day and the night, and for a division between the light and the dark: and God saw that it was good.
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.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
So the euening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters be full of living things, and let birds be in flight over the earth under the arch of heaven.
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.
21 And God made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: and God saw that it was good.
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.
22 And God gave them his blessing, saying, Be fertile and have increase, making all the waters of the seas full, and let the birds be increased in the earth.
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.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
So the euening and the morning were the fifte day.
24 And God said, Let the earth give birth to all sorts of living things, cattle and all things moving on the earth, and beasts of the earth after their sort: and it was so.
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.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after its sort, and the cattle after their sort, and everything moving on the face of the earth after its sort: and God saw that it was good.
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.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.
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.
27 And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them.
Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female.
28 And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.
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.
29 And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your food:
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.
30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.
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.
31 And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
And God sawe all that he had made, and loe, it was very good. So the euening and the morning were the sixt day.
