aIn the beginning bGod
ccreated
the heavens
and the earth
.
The earth was 1 aformless
and void
, and bdarkness
was over
the 2surface
of the deep
, and cthe Spirit
of God
dwas 3moving
over
the 2surface
of the waters
.
Then aGod said
, "Let there be light
"; and there was light
.
God saw
that the light
was agood
; and God
bseparated
the light
from the darkness
.
aGod called
the light
day
, and the darkness
He called
night
. And bthere was evening
and there was morning
, one
day
.
Then God said
, "Let there be 1an aexpanse
in the midst
of the waters
, and let it separate
the waters
from the waters
."
God made
the 1expanse
, and separated
athe waters
which
were below
the 1expanse
from the waters
bwhich
were above
the 1expanse
; and it was so
.
God called
the 1expanse
heaven
. And there was evening
and there was morning
, a second
day
.
Then God said
, " aLet the waters
below
the heavens
be gathered
into one
place
, and let bthe dry
land
appear
"; and it was so
.
God called
the dry
land
earth
, and the agathering
of the waters
He called
seas
; and God
saw
that it was good
.
Then God said
, "Let the earth
sprout
1 avegetation
, 2plants
yielding
seed
, and fruit
trees
on the earth
bearing
fruit
after 3their kind
4with seed
in them"; and it was so
.
The earth brought
forth
1vegetation
, 2plants
yielding
seed
after 3their kind
, and trees
bearing
fruit
4with seed
in them, after 3their kind
; and God
saw
that it was good
.
There was evening and there was morning
, a third
day
.
Then God said
, "Let there be 1 alights
in the 2 bexpanse
of the heavens
to separate
the day
from the night
, and let them be for csigns
and for dseasons
and for days
and years
;
and let them be for 1lights in the 2expanse
of the heavens
to give
light
on the earth
"; and it was so
.
God made
the two
1great
lights
, the agreater
2light
3to govern
the day
, and the lesser
2light
3to govern
the night
; He made bthe stars
also.
aGod placed
them in the 1expanse
of the heavens
to give
light
on the earth
,
and 1to agovern the day
and the night
, and to separate
the light
from the darkness
; and God
saw
that it was good
.
There was evening and there was morning
, a fourth
day
.
Then God said
, "Let the waters
1teem
with swarms
of living
creatures
, and let birds
fly
above
the earth
2in the open
3expanse
of the heavens
."
God created
athe great
sea
monsters
and every
living
creature
that moves
, with which
the waters
swarmed
after their kind
, and every
winged
bird
after its kind
; and God
saw
that it was good
.
God blessed
them, saying
, "Be fruitful
and multiply
, and fill
the waters
in the seas
, and let birds
multiply
on the earth
."
There was evening and there was morning
, a fifth
day
.
aThen God said
, "Let the earth
bring
forth
living
creatures
after 1their kind
: cattle
and creeping
things
and beasts
of the earth
after 1their kind
"; and it was so
.
God made
the abeasts
of the earth
after 1their kind
, and the cattle
after 1their kind
, and everything
that creeps
on the ground
after its kind
; and God
saw
that it was good
.
Then God said
, "Let aUs make
bman
in Our image
, according to Our likeness
; and let them crule
over the fish
of the sea
and over the birds
of the 1sky
and over the cattle
and over all
the earth
, and over every
creeping
thing
that creeps
on the earth
."
God created
man
ain His own image
, in the image
of God
He created
him; bmale
and female
He created
them.
God blessed
them; and God
said
to them, " aBe fruitful
and multiply
, and fill
the earth
, and subdue
it; and rule
over the fish
of the sea
and over the birds
of the 1sky
and over every
living
thing
that 2moves
on the earth
."
Then God said
, "Behold
, aI have given
you every
plant
yielding
seed
that is on the 1surface
of all
the earth
, and every
tree
2which
has fruit
yielding
seed
; it shall be food
for you;
and ato every beast
of the earth
and to every
bird
of the 1sky
and to every
thing
that 2moves
on the earth
3which
has life
, I have given every
green
plant
for food
"; and it was so
.
God saw
all
that He had made
, and behold
, it was very
agood
. And there was evening
and there was morning
, the sixth
day
.
