1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the
earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of
the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
“3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God
saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the
darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called
Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
“6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the
firmament, and divided the waters which [were] under the firmament from
the waters which [were] above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God
called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the
second day.”
“9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together
unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so. 10 And God
called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together of the waters
called he Seas: and God saw that [it was] good. 11 And God 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. 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 God saw that [it was] good. 13 And
the evening and the morning were the third day.”
“14 And God 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: 15 And let them be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and
the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also. 17 And God
set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light
from the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good. 19 And the evening
and the morning were the fourth day.”
“20 And God 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. 21 And God 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 God saw that
[it was] good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the
earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.”
“24 And God 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. 25 And God 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 God saw that [it was] good.”
“26 And God 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. 27 So God created man in
his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female
created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God 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.”
“29 And God 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. 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.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the
evening and the morning were the sixth day.” (Ge 1:1-31 AV)
