Genesis 1

CHAPTER 1 The Creation

1 In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth. 2 But the earth was unseen and unready, and darkness was upon the abyss, and spirit of God bore upon the water. 3 And God said, Let there be light! And there was light. 4 And God beheld the light that it was good. And God parted between the light and between the darkness. 5 And God called the light, Day, and the darkness he called, Night; and there was evening and there was morning, day one. 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be for parting between water and water! 7 And God made the firmament, and God parted between the water which was underneath the firmament, and between the water above the firmament. 8 And God called the firmament, Heaven. And God beheld that it was good; and there was evening and there was morning, [²day ¹the second]. 9 And God said, Let [⁶come together ¹the ²water ³underneath ⁴the ⁵heaven] into [²gathering ¹one], and let [³appear ¹the ²dry land]! And it was so. And [⁶gathered together ¹the ²water ³underneath ⁴the ⁵heaven] into their gatherings, and [³appeared ¹the ²dry land]. 10 And God called the dry land, Earth; and the collections of the waters he called, Seas. And God beheld that it was good. 11 And God said, Let [³grow ¹the ²earth] pasturage of grass sowing seed according to type, and according to likeness, and [²tree ¹the fruitful] producing fruit which the seed of it is in it, according to type upon the earth! And it was so. 12 And [³brought forth ¹the ²earth] pasturage of grass sowing seed, according to type, and according to likeness; and [²tree ¹the fruitful] producing fruit which the seed of it is in it, according to type upon the earth. 13 And God beheld that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, [²day ¹the third]. 14 And God said, Let there be luminaries in the firmament of the heaven for giving light upon the earth, to part between the day and between the night! And let them be for signs, and for times, and for days, and for years! 15 And let them be for giving light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth! And it was so. 16 And God made the two [²luminaries ¹great]; the [²luminary ¹greater] for beginnings of the day, and the [²luminary ¹lesser] for beginnings of the night, and the stars. 17 And [²put ³them ¹God] in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, 18 and to begin the day and the night, and to part between the light and between the darkness. And God beheld that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, [²day ¹the fourth]. 20 And God said, Let [³bring forth ¹the ²waters] reptiles [²lives ¹of living], and [²winged creatures ¹flying] upon the earth below the firmament of the heaven! And it was so. 21 And God made the [²whales ¹great], and every life of living creatures of reptiles which [³brought forth ¹the ²waters] according to their types; and every [²winged creature ¹feathered] according to type. And God beheld that it was good. 22 And [²blessed ³them ¹God], saying, Grow and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas! And [²the ³winged creatures ¹let] be multiplied upon the earth! 23 And there was evening and there was morning, [²day ¹the fifth]. 24 And God said, Let [³bring forth ¹the ²earth ⁵life ⁴living] according to its type -- four-footed, and reptiles, and wild beasts of the earth according to type! And it was so. 25 And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to type, and the cattle according to their type, and all the reptiles of the earth according to type. And God beheld that it was good. 26 And God said, Let us make man according to [²image ¹our], and according to likeness! And let them control the fishes of the sea, and the winged creatures of the heaven, and the cattle, and all the earth, and all the reptiles of the ones crawling upon the earth! 27 And God made man. According to the image of God he made him. Male and female he made them. 28 And [²blessed ³them ¹God], saying, Grow and multiply, and fill the earth, and dominate it! And control the fishes of the sea, and the winged creatures of the heaven, and all the cattle, and all of the earth, and all of the reptiles of the ones crawling upon the earth! 29 And God said, Behold, I have given to you every grass fit for sowing a sowing of seed which is upon the earth, and every tree which has in itself a fruit seed fit for sowing; to you it will be for food, 30 and to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the winged creatures of the heaven, and to every reptile crawling upon the earth, which has in itself breath of life, even every [²grass ¹green] for food. And it was so. 31 And God beheld all as much as he made. And behold, it was [²good ¹exceedingly]. And there was evening and there was morning, [²day ¹the sixth].
