*
And God said , "
Let there be light ";
and there was light .
*
And God saw that the light was good ;
and God separated the light from the darkness .
*
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 separate the waters from the waters ."
*
And God made the firmament and separated 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 into one place ,
and let the dry land appear ."
And it was so .
*
God called the dry land Earth ,
and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas .
And God saw that it was good .
*
And God said , "
Let the earth put forth vegetation ,
plants yielding seed ,
and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed ,
each according to its kind ,
upon the earth ."
And it was so .
*
The earth brought forth vegetation ,
plants yielding seed according to their own kinds ,
and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed ,
each according to its 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 the heavens to separate the day from the night ;
and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years ,
*
and let them be lights in the firmament of the heavens 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 ;
he made the stars also .
*
And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth ,
*
to rule over the day and over the night ,
and to separate 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 bring forth swarms of living creatures ,
and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens ."
*
So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves ,
with which the waters swarm ,
according to their kinds ,
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 kinds :
cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds ."
And it was so .
*
And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds ,
and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind .
And God saw that it was good .
*
Then 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 air ,
and over the cattle ,
and over all the earth ,
and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth ."
