    10God called the dry ground 'land,' and the gathered waters he called 'seas.' And God saw that it was good.

    11Then God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their kinds, on the earth.' And it was so.

    12The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

    13And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

    14Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days, and years,

    15and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.' And it was so.

    16God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

    17God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,

    18to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.

    19And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

    20Then God said, 'Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.'

    21So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teem, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

    22God blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.'

    23And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

    24Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth living beings according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.' And it was so.

    25God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

    26Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, after our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and all the creatures that move along the ground.'

    27So God created mankind in his own image; in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

    28God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and every living creature that moves on the ground.'

    1In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

    2Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

    3Then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.

    4God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

    5God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night.' And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

    6Then God said, 'Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.'

    7So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.

    8God called the vault 'sky.' And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
