Genesis 1

1In the beginning GodH430 createdH1254 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776. 2And the earthH776 wasH1961 waste and void; and darknessH2822 wasH1961 upon the faceH6440 of the deepH8415: and the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 moved upon the faceH6440 of the watersH4325. 3And GodH430 saidH559, Let there beH1961 lightH216: and there wasH1961 lightH216. 4And GodH430 sawH7200 the lightH216, that it was goodH2896: and GodH430 divided the lightH216 from the darknessH2822. 5And GodH430 calledH7121 the lightH216 DayH3117, and the darknessH2822 he calledH7121 NightH3915. And there wasH1961 eveningH6153 and there wasH1961 morningH1242, oneH259 dayH3117.

6And GodH430 saidH559, Let there beH1961 a firmamentH7549 in the midstH8432 of the watersH4325, and let it divide the watersH4325 from the watersH4325. 7And GodH430 madeH6213 the firmamentH7549, and divided the watersH4325 which were under the firmamentH7549 from the watersH4325 which were above the firmamentH7549: and it wasH1961 soH3651. 8And GodH430 calledH7121 the firmamentH7549 HeavenH8064. And there wasH1961 eveningH6153 and there wasH1961 morningH1242, a secondH8145 dayH3117.

9And GodH430 saidH559, Let the watersH4325 under the heavensH8064 beH1961 gathered together unto oneH259 placeH4725, and let the dryH3004 landH3004 appearH7200: and it wasH1961 soH3651. 10And GodH430 calledH7121 the dryH3004 landH776 EarthH776; and the gathering together of the watersH4325 calledH7121 he SeasH3220: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 11And GodH430 saidH559, Let the earthH776 put forth grassH1877, herbs yielding seedH2233, and fruit-trees bearing fruitH6529 after their kindH4327, wherein is the seedH2233 thereof, upon the earthH776: and it wasH1961 soH3651. 12And the earthH776 broughtH3318 forthH3318 grassH1877, herbs yielding seedH2233 after their kindH4327, and treesH6086 bearing fruitH6529, wherein is the seedH2233 thereof, after their kindH4327: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 13And there wasH1961 eveningH6153 and there wasH1961 morningH1242, a thirdH7992 dayH3117.

14And GodH430 saidH559, Let there beH1961 lightsH3974 in the firmamentH7549 of heavenH8064 to divide the dayH3117 from the nightH3915; and let them beH1961 for signsH226, and for seasons, and for daysH3117 and yearsH8141: 15and let them beH1961 for lightsH3974 in the firmamentH7549 of heavenH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 upon the earthH776: and it wasH1961 soH3651. 16And GodH430 madeH6213 the twoH8147 greatH1419 lightsH3974; the greaterH1419 lightH3974 to rule the dayH3117, and the lesser lightH3974 to rule the nightH3915: he madeH6213the starsH3556 also. 17And GodH430 setH5414 them in the firmamentH7549 of heavenH8064 to giveH5414 lightH215 upon the earthH776, 18and to ruleH4910 over the dayH3117 and over the nightH3915, and to divide the lightH216 from the darknessH2822: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 19And there wasH1961 eveningH6153 and there wasH1961 morningH1242, a fourthH7243 dayH3117.

20And GodH430 saidH559, Let the watersH4325 swarmH8317 with swarmsH8317 of living creaturesH5315, and let birdsH5775 flyH5774 above the earthH776 in the open firmamentH7549 of heavenH8064. 21And GodH430 createdH1254 the greatH1419 sea-monsters, and every living creatureH5315 that moveth, wherewith the watersH4325 swarmedH8317, after their kindH4327, and every wingedH3671 birdH5775 after its kindH4327: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 22And GodH430 blessedH1288 them, sayingH559, Be fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the watersH4325 in the seasH3220, and let birdsH5775 multiplyH7235 on the earthH776. 23And there wasH1961 eveningH6153 and there wasH1961 morningH1242, a fifthH2549 dayH3117.

24And GodH430 saidH559, Let the earthH776 bringH3318 forthH3318 living creaturesH5315 after their kindH4327, cattleH929, and creepingH7431 thingsH7431, and beasts of the earthH776 after their kindH4327: and it wasH1961 soH3651. 25And GodH430 madeH6213 the beasts of the earthH776 after their kindH4327, and the cattleH929 after their kindH4327, and everythingH3605 that creepeth upon the groundH776 after its kindH4327: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 26And GodH430 saidH559, Let us makeH6213 manH120 in our imageH6754, after our likenessH1823: and let them have dominion over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220, and over the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064, and over the cattleH929, and over all the earthH776, and over every creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepeth upon the earthH776. 27And GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 in his own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 createdH1254 he him; maleH2145 and femaleH5347 createdH1254 he them. 28And GodH430 blessedH1288 them: and GodH430 saidH559 unto them, Be fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235, and replenish the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and have dominion over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220, and over the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earthH776. 29And GodH430 saidH559, Behold, I have givenH5414 you every herb yielding seedH2233, which is upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776, and every treeH6086, in which is the fruitH6529 of a treeH6086 yielding seedH2233; to you it shall beH1961 for foodH402: 30and to every beast of the earthH776, and to every birdH5775 of the heavensH8064, and to everythingH3605 that creepeth upon the earthH776, wherein there is lifeH5315, I have given every green herb for foodH402: and it wasH1961 soH3651. 31And GodH430 sawH7200 everythingH3605 that he had madeH6213, and, behold, it wasH1961 veryH3966 goodH2896. And there wasH1961 eveningH6153 and there wasH1961 morningH1242, the sixthH8345 dayH3117.
