  • Gen 1:1-2:1 : 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now 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. 3 Then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night.' And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 6 Then God said, 'Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.' 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault 'sky.' And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 9 Then God said, 'Let the waters under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.' And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground 'land,' and the gathered waters he called 'seas.' And God saw that it was good. 11 Then 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. 12 The 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. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. 14 Then 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, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.' And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. 20 Then God said, 'Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.' 21 So 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. 22 God blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.' 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. 24 Then 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. 25 God 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. 26 Then 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.' 27 So God created mankind in his own image; in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God 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.' 29 Then God said, 'Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that bears fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth, all the birds in the sky, and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.' And it was so. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. 1 So the heavens, the earth, and everything in them were completed.
