Genesis:1
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the beginning God created heaven ,
and earth .
*
And the earth was void and empty ,
and darkness was upon the face of the deep ;
and the spirit of God moved over the waters .
*
And God said :
Be light made .
And light was made .
*
And God saw the light that it was good ;
and he divided the light from the darkness .
*
And he called the light Day ,
and the darkness Night ;
and there was evening and morning one day .
*
And God said :
Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters :
and let it divide the waters from the waters .
*
And God made a firmament ,
and divided the waters that were under the firmament ,
from those that were above the firmament ,
and it was so .
*
And God called the firmament ,
Heaven ;
and the evening and morning were the second day .
*
God also said :
Let the waters that are under the heaven ,
be gathered together into one place :
and let the dry land appear .
And it was so done .
*
And God called the dry land ,
Earth ;
and the gathering together of the waters ,
he called Seas .
And God saw that it was good .
*
And he said :
Let the earth bring forth the green herb ,
and such as may seed ,
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind ,
which may have seed in itself upon the earth .
And it was so done .
*
And the earth brought forth the green herb ,
and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind ,
and the tree that beareth fruit having seed each one according to its kind .
And God saw that it was good .
*
And the evening and the morning were the third day .
*
And God said :
Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven ,
to divide the day and the night ,
and let them be for signs ,
and for seasons ,
and for days and years :
*
To shine in the firmament of heaven ,
and to give light upon the earth .
And it was so done .
*
And God made two great lights :
a greater light to rule the day ;
and a lesser light to rule the night :
and the stars .
*
And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth .
*
And to rule the day and the night ,
and to divide the light and the darkness .
And God saw that it was good .
*
And the evening and morning were the fourth day .
*
God also said :
Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life ,
and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven .
*
And God created the great whales ,
and every living and moving creature ,
which the waters brought forth ,
according to their kinds ,
and every winged fowl according to its kind .
And God saw that it was good .
*
And he blessed them ,
saying :
Increase and multiply ,
and fill the waters of the sea :
and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth .
*
And the evening and morning were the fifth day .
*
And God said :
Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind ,
cattle and creeping things ,
and beasts of the earth ,
according to their kinds .
And it was so done .
*
And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds ,
and cattle ,
and every thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind .
And God saw that it was good .
*
And he said :
Let us make man to our image and likeness :
and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea ,
and the fowls of the air ,
and the beasts ,
and the whole earth ,
and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth .
*
And God created man to his own image :
to the image of God he created him :
male and female he created them .
*
And God blessed them ,
saying :
Increase and multiply ,
and fill the earth ,
and subdue it ,
and rule over the fishes of the sea ,
and the fowls of the air ,
and all living creatures that move upon the earth .
*
And God said :
Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth ,
and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind ,
to be your meat :
*
And to all the beasts of the earth ,
and to every fowl of the air ,
and to all that move upon the earth ,
and wherein there is life ,
that they may have to feed upon .
And it was so done .
*
And God saw all the things that he had made ,
and they were very good .
And the evening and morning were the sixth day .
