+ Genesis 1 >

1 In the beginning God created the heauen and the earth.
In the beginning God created 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.
And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God was waving over the face of the waters.
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 it was evening and it 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 an expansion in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between waters and waters.
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 expansion, and divided between the waters which were under the expansion and the waters which were above the expansion: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heauen. So the Euening and the morning were the second day.
And God called the expansion Heaven. And it was evening and it 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 waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land be visible: and it was so.
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 gathering together 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 grass, herbs yielding seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, in which its seed is upon 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 grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees yielding fruit, in which its seed is after their kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 So the euening and the morning were the third day.
And it was evening and it 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 expansion of the heaven to divide between the day and 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 heauen to giue light vpon the earth: and it was so.
And let them be for lights in the expansion of the heaven, to give light 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 to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to shine vpon the earth,
And God set them in the expansion of the heaven to give light 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 rule by day and by 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 it was evening and it 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 abundantly moving creatures that have life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open expansion of the heaven.
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 created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind: and God saw that it was 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, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply on the earth.
23 So the euening and the morning were the fifte day.
And it was evening and it 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 living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after 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 beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind: and God saw that it was 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 in our image, after our likeness; and they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon 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 created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he 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, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every living thing that moveth upon 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 unto you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree on which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; 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 every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heaven, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb 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 every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day.
