Chapter 1
- 1:1
- In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
- 1:2
- 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.
- 1:3
- And God
said, Let there be light: and there was light.
- 1:4
- And God
saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the
darkness.
- 1:5
- And God
called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the
evening and the morning were the first day.
- 1:6
- And God
said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it
divide the waters from the waters.
- 1:7
- 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.
- 1:8
- And God
called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the
second day.
- 1:9
- 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.
- 1:10
- And God
called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters
called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
- 1:11
- 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.
- 1:12
- 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.
- 1:13
- And the
evening and the morning were the third day.
- 1:14
- 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:
- 1:15
- And let
them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon
the earth: and it was so.
- 1:16
- 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.
- 1:17
- And God
set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
- 1:18
- 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.
- 1:19
- And the
evening and the morning were the fourth day.
- 1:20
- 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.
- 1:21
- 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.
- 1:22
- And God
blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters
in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
- 1:23
- And the
evening and the morning were the fifth day.
- 1:24
- 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.
- 1:25
- 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.
- 1:26
- 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.
- 1:27
- So God
created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them.
- 1:28
- 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.
- 1:29
- 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.
- 1:30
- 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.
- 1:31
- 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.
