*
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth .
*
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 .
*
And God said ,
Let there be light ,
and there was light .
*
And God saw the light ,
that it was good .
And God divided the light from the darkness .
*
And God called the light Day ,
and the darkness he called Night .
And there was evening and there was morning ,
one day .
*
And God said ,
Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters ,
and let it divide the waters from the waters .
*
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 .
*
And God called the firmament Heaven .
And there was evening and there was morning ,
a second day .
*
And God said ,
Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place ,
and let the dry land appear .
And it was so .
*
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 said ,
Let the earth put forth grass ,
herbs yielding seed , [
and ]
fruit trees bearing fruit according to their kind (
in which is the seed of them )
upon the earth .
And it was so .
*
And the earth brought forth grass ,
herbs yielding seed according to their kind ,
and trees bearing fruit in which is the seed of it ,
according to their kind .
And God saw that it was good .
*
And there was evening and there was morning ,
a third day .
*
And God said ,
Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night ,
and let them be for signs ,
and for seasons ,
and for days and years .
*
And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth .
And it was so .
*
And God made the two great lights ,
the greater light to rule the day ,
and the lesser light to rule the night ,
also the stars .
*
And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth ,
*
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 .
*
And there was evening and there was morning ,
a fourth day .
*
And God said ,
Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures ,
and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven .
*
And God created the great sea creatures ,
and every living creature that moves ,
which the waters brought forth abundantly ,
according to their kind ,
and every winged bird according to its kind .
And God saw that it was good .
*
And God blessed them ,
saying ,
Be fruitful ,
and multiply ,
and fill the waters in the seas ,
and let birds multiply on the earth .
*
And there was evening and there was morning ,
a fifth day .
*
And God said ,
Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind ,
cattle ,
and creeping things ,
and beasts of the earth according to their kind .
And it was so .
*
And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind ,
and the cattle according to their kind ,
and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind .
And God saw that it was good .
*
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 birds of the heavens ,
and over the cattle ,
and over all the earth ,
and over every creeping thing that
*
And God created man in his own image ,
in the image of God he created him ,
male and female he created them .
*
And God blessed them .
And God said to them ,
Be fruitful ,
and multiply and replenish the earth ,
and subdue it ,
and have dominion over the fish of the sea ,
and over the birds of the heavens ,
and over every living thing that moves upo
