11In
the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2Now the
earth became without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face
of the deep. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3And
God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4God saw
the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning were day one.
6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7And
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. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and
the morning were the second day.
9And
God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one
place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so. 10And
God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together of the waters
called he Seas: and God saw that [it was] good. 11And 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. 12And 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. 13And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14And
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:
15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16And 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. 17And God set
them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18And
to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from
the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good. 19And the evening
and the morning were the fourth day.
20And 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. 21And 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. 22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in
the earth. 23And the evening and the morning were the fifth
day.
24And
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. 25And 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. 26And
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.
27So
God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them. 28And 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.
29And 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.
30And 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. 31And
God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
21Thus the heavens and the earth,
and all the host of them, were finished. 2And on the seventh
day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh
day from all His work which He had done. 3Then God blessed
the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His
work which God created and made.
