Genesis:1-2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the beginning God created the heaven 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 the evening and the morning were the first 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 the evening and the morning were the second day .
*
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 .
*
And God called the dry land Earth ;
and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas :
and God saw that it was good .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the evening and the morning were the third day .
*
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 :
*
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth :
and it was so .
*
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 .
*
And God set them in the firmament of the 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 the evening and the morning were the fourth day .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And God blessed them ,
saying ,
Be fruitful ,
and multiply ,
and fill the waters in the seas ,
and let fowl multiply in the earth .
*
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
So God created man in his own image ,
in the image of God created he him ;
male and female created he them .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished ,
and all the host of them .
*
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made ;
and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made .
*
And God blessed the seventh day ,
and sanctified it :
because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made .
*
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created ,
in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens ,
*
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth ,
and every herb of the field before it grew :
for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth ,
and there was not a man to till the ground .
*
But there went up a mist from the earth ,
and watered the whole face of the ground .
*
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground ,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life ;
and man became a living soul .
*
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden ;
and there he put the man whom he had formed .
*
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight ,
and good for food ;
the tree of life also in the midst of the garden ,
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil .
*
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden ;
and from thence it was parted ,
and became into four heads .
*
The name of the first is Pison :
that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah ,
where there is gold ;
*
And the gold of that land is good :
there is bdellium and the onyx stone .
*
And the name of the second river is Gihon :
the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia .
*
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel :
that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria .
And the fourth river is Euphrates .
*
And the LORD God took the man ,
and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it .
*
And the LORD God commanded the man ,
saying ,
Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat :
*
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ,
thou shalt not eat of it :
for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die .
*
And the LORD God said ,
It is not good that the man should be alone ;
I will make him an help meet for him .
*
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field ,
and every fowl of the air ;
and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them :
and whatsoever Adam called every living creature ,
that was the name thereof .
*
And Adam gave names to all cattle ,
and to the fowl of the air ,
and to every beast of the field ;
but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him .
*
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam ,
and he slept :
and he took one of his ribs ,
and closed up the flesh instead thereof ;
*
And the rib ,
which the LORD God had taken from man ,
made he a woman ,
and brought her unto the man .
*
And Adam said ,
This is now bone of my bones ,
and flesh of my flesh :
she shall be called Woman ,
because she was taken out of Man .
*
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother ,
and shall cleave unto his wife :
and they shall be one flesh .
*
And they were both naked ,
the man and his wife ,
and were not ashamed .
*
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made .
And he said unto the woman ,
Yea ,
hath God said ,
Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden ?
