Genesis~Chapter 1

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.
