Genesis 1:12-29

12The earthH776 broughtH3318 forthH3318 1vegetationH1877, 2plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 after 3their kindH4327, and treesH6086 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 4with seedH2233 in them, after 5their kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 13There was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a thirdH7992 dayH3117.

14Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be 67lightsH3974 in the 89expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to separateH914 the dayH3117 from the nightH3915, and let them be for 10signsH226 and for 11seasonsH4150 and for daysH3117 and yearsH8141; 15and let them be for 12lightsH3974 in the 13expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776”; and it was soH3651. 16GodH430 madeH6213 the twoH8147 14greatH1419 lightsH3974, the 15greaterH1419 16lightH3974 17to governH4475 the dayH3117, and the lesserH6996 18lightH3974 19to governH4475 the nightH3915; He made 20the starsH3556 also. 1721GodH430 placedH5414 them in the 22expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776, 18and 23to 24governH4910 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 25teemH8317 with swarmsH8318 of livingH2416 creaturesH5315, and let birdsH5775 flyH5774 aboveH5921 the earthH776 26in the openH6440 27expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064.” 21GodH430 createdH1254 28the 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.

2429Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 bringH3318 forthH3318 livingH2416 creaturesH5315 after 30their kindH4327: cattleH929 and creepingH7431 thingsH7431 and beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 31their kindH4327”; and it was soH3651. 25GodH430 madeH6213 the 32beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 33their kindH4327, and the cattleH929 after 34their kindH4327, and everythingH3605 that creepsH7431 on the groundH127 after its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.

26Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let 35Us makeH6213 36manH120 in Our imageH6754, according to Our likenessH1823; and let them 37ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 38skyH8064 and over the cattleH929 and over allH3605 the earthH776, and over everyH3605 creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepsH7430 on the earthH776.” 27GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 39in His own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 He createdH1254 him; 40maleH2145 and femaleH5347 He createdH1254 them. 28GodH430 blessedH1288 them; and GodH430 saidH559 to them, “41Be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 42skyH8064 and over everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416 that 43movesH7430 on the earthH776.” 29Then GodH430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 44I have givenH5414 you everyH3605 plantH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 that is on the 45surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and everyH3605 treeH6086 46whichH834 has fruitH6529 yieldingH2232 seedH2233; it shall be foodH402 for you;
