Genesis Chapter 1

The Creation

11In the beginningH7225 2GodH430 3createdH1254 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776. 2The earthH776 was 45formlessH8414 and voidH922, and 6darknessH2822 was overH5921 the 7surfaceH6440 of the deepH8415, and 8the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 9was 10movingH7363 overH5921 the 11surfaceH6440 of the watersH4325. 3Then 12GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be lightH216”; and there was lightH216. 4GodH430 sawH7200 that the lightH216 was 13goodH2896; and GodH430 14separatedH914 the lightH216 from the darknessH2822. 515GodH430 calledH7121 the lightH216 dayH3117, and the darknessH2822 He calledH7121 nightH3915. And 16there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, oneH259 dayH3117.

6Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be 17an 18expanseH7549 in the midstH8432 of the watersH4325, and let it separateH914 the watersH4325 from the watersH4325.” 7GodH430 madeH6213 the 19expanseH7549, and separatedH914 20the watersH4325 whichH834 were belowH4480H8478 the 21expanseH7549 from the watersH4325 22whichH834 were aboveH4480H5921 the 23expanseH7549; and it was soH3651. 8GodH430 calledH7121 the 24expanseH7549 heavenH8064. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a secondH8145 dayH3117.

9Then GodH430 saidH559, “25Let the watersH4325 belowH4480H8478 the heavensH8064 be gatheredH6960 into oneH259 placeH4725, and let 26the dryH3004 landH3004 appearH7200”; and it was soH3651. 10GodH430 calledH7121 the dryH3004 landH3004 earthH776, and the 27gatheringH4723 of the watersH4325 He calledH7121 seasH3220; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 11Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 sproutH1876 2829vegetationH1877, 30plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233, and fruitH6529 treesH6086 on the earthH776 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 after 31their kindH4327 32with seedH2233 in them”; and it was soH3651. 12The earthH776 broughtH3318 forthH3318 33vegetationH1877, 34plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 after 35their kindH4327, and treesH6086 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 36with seedH2233 in them, after 37their kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 13There was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a thirdH7992 dayH3117.

14Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be 3839lightsH3974 in the 4041expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to separateH914 the dayH3117 from the nightH3915, and let them be for 42signsH226 and for 43seasonsH4150 and for daysH3117 and yearsH8141; 15and let them be for 44lightsH3974 in the 45expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776”; and it was soH3651. 16GodH430 madeH6213 the twoH8147 46greatH1419 lightsH3974, the 47greaterH1419 48lightH3974 49to governH4475 the dayH3117, and the lesserH6996 50lightH3974 51to governH4475 the nightH3915; He made 52the starsH3556 also. 1753GodH430 placedH5414 them in the 54expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776, 18and 55to 56governH4910 the dayH3117 and the nightH3915, and to separateH914 the lightH216 from the darknessH2822; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 19There was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a fourthH7243 dayH3117.

20Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the watersH4325 57teemH8317 with swarmsH8318 of livingH2416 creaturesH5315, and let birdsH5775 flyH5774 aboveH5921 the earthH776 58in the openH6440 59expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064.” 21GodH430 createdH1254 60the greatH1419 seaH8577 monstersH8577 and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that movesH7430, with whichH834 the watersH4325 swarmedH8317 after their kindH4327, and everyH3605 wingedH3671 birdH5775 after its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 22GodH430 blessedH1288 them, sayingH559, “Be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the watersH4325 in the seasH3220, and let birdsH5775 multiplyH7235 on the earthH776.” 23There was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a fifthH2549 dayH3117.

2461Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 bringH3318 forthH3318 livingH2416 creaturesH5315 after 62their kindH4327: cattleH929 and creepingH7431 thingsH7431 and beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 63their kindH4327”; and it was soH3651. 25GodH430 madeH6213 the 64beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 65their kindH4327, and the cattleH929 after 66their kindH4327, and everythingH3605 that creepsH7431 on the groundH127 after its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.

26Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let 67Us makeH6213 68manH120 in Our imageH6754, according to Our likenessH1823; and let them 69ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 70skyH8064 and over the cattleH929 and over allH3605 the earthH776, and over everyH3605 creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepsH7430 on the earthH776.” 27GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 71in His own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 He createdH1254 him; 72maleH2145 and femaleH5347 He createdH1254 them. 28GodH430 blessedH1288 them; and GodH430 saidH559 to them, “73Be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 74skyH8064 and over everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416 that 75movesH7430 on the earthH776.” 29Then GodH430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 76I have givenH5414 you everyH3605 plantH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 that is on the 77surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and everyH3605 treeH6086 78whichH834 has fruitH6529 yieldingH2232 seedH2233; it shall be foodH402 for you; 30and 79to everyH3605 beastH2421 of the earthH776 and to everyH3605 birdH5775 of the 80skyH8064 and to everyH3605 thingH3605 that 81movesH7430 on the earthH776 82whichH834 has lifeH5315H2421, I have given everyH3605 greenH3418 plantH6212 for foodH402”; and it was soH3651. 31GodH430 sawH7200 allH3605 that He had madeH6213, and beholdH2009, it was veryH3966 83goodH2896. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, the sixthH8345 dayH3117.
