Genesis 1:11-31

11Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 sproutH1876 12vegetationH1877, 3plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233, and fruitH6529 treesH6086 on the earthH776 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 after 4their kindH4327 5with seedH2233 in them”; and it was soH3651. 12The earthH776 broughtH3318 forthH3318 6vegetationH1877, 7plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 after 8their kindH4327, and treesH6086 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 9with seedH2233 in them, after 10their kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 13There was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a thirdH7992 dayH3117.

14Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be 1112lightsH3974 in the 1314expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to separateH914 the dayH3117 from the nightH3915, and let them be for 15signsH226 and for 16seasonsH4150 and for daysH3117 and yearsH8141; 15and let them be for 17lightsH3974 in the 18expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776”; and it was soH3651. 16GodH430 madeH6213 the twoH8147 19greatH1419 lightsH3974, the 20greaterH1419 21lightH3974 22to governH4475 the dayH3117, and the lesserH6996 23lightH3974 24to governH4475 the nightH3915; He made 25the starsH3556 also. 1726GodH430 placedH5414 them in the 27expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776, 18and 28to 29governH4910 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 30teemH8317 with swarmsH8318 of livingH2416 creaturesH5315, and let birdsH5775 flyH5774 aboveH5921 the earthH776 31in the openH6440 32expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064.” 21GodH430 createdH1254 33the 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.

2434Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 bringH3318 forthH3318 livingH2416 creaturesH5315 after 35their kindH4327: cattleH929 and creepingH7431 thingsH7431 and beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 36their kindH4327”; and it was soH3651. 25GodH430 madeH6213 the 37beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 38their kindH4327, and the cattleH929 after 39their kindH4327, and everythingH3605 that creepsH7431 on the groundH127 after its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.

26Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let 40Us makeH6213 41manH120 in Our imageH6754, according to Our likenessH1823; and let them 42ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 43skyH8064 and over the cattleH929 and over allH3605 the earthH776, and over everyH3605 creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepsH7430 on the earthH776.” 27GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 44in His own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 He createdH1254 him; 45maleH2145 and femaleH5347 He createdH1254 them. 28GodH430 blessedH1288 them; and GodH430 saidH559 to them, “46Be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 47skyH8064 and over everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416 that 48movesH7430 on the earthH776.” 29Then GodH430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 49I have givenH5414 you everyH3605 plantH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 that is on the 50surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and everyH3605 treeH6086 51whichH834 has fruitH6529 yieldingH2232 seedH2233; it shall be foodH402 for you; 30and 52to everyH3605 beastH2421 of the earthH776 and to everyH3605 birdH5775 of the 53skyH8064 and to everyH3605 thingH3605 that 54movesH7430 on the earthH776 55whichH834 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 56goodH2896. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, the sixthH8345 dayH3117.
