Kejadian 1
The Creation of the World
1In the abeginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2The earth was bwithout form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3And God said, c“Let there be light,” and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good. And God 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. 6And God said, d“Let there be an expanse ▼▼Or a canopy; also verses 7, 8, 14, 15, 17, 20
in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7And God made ▼▼Or fashioned; also verse 16
the expanse and gseparated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were habove the expanse. And it was so. 8And God called the expanse Heaven. ▼▼Or Sky; also verses 9, 14, 15, 17, 20, 26, 28, 30; 2:1
And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 9And God said, j“Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10God called the dry land Earth ▼▼Or Land; also verses 11, 12, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30; 2:1
and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11And God said, l“Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants ▼▼Or small plants; also verses 12, 29
yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12The 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. 13And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 14And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for nsigns and for oseasons, ▼▼Or appointed times
and for days and years, 15and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16And God qmade the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18to rrule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. 20And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds ▼▼Or flying things; see Leviticus 11:19–20
fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21So tGod created the great sea creatures 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. 22And God blessed them, saying, u“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26Then God said, v“Let us make man ▼▼The Hebrew word for man (adam) is the generic term for mankind and becomes the proper name Adam
in our image, xafter our likeness. And ylet them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image,in the image of God he created him;
zmale and female he created them.
28And God blessed them. And God said to them, aa“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. abYou shall have them for food. 30And acto every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 adAnd God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
