Genesis 1:3-16

3Then 1GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be lightH216”; and there was lightH216. 4GodH430 sawH7200 that the lightH216 was 2goodH2896; and GodH430 3separatedH914 the lightH216 from the darknessH2822. 54GodH430 calledH7121 the lightH216 dayH3117, and the darknessH2822 He calledH7121 nightH3915. And 5there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, oneH259 dayH3117.

6Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be 6an 7expanseH7549 in the midstH8432 of the watersH4325, and let it separateH914 the watersH4325 from the watersH4325.” 7GodH430 madeH6213 the 8expanseH7549, and separatedH914 9the watersH4325 whichH834 were belowH4480H8478 the 10expanseH7549 from the watersH4325 11whichH834 were aboveH4480H5921 the 12expanseH7549; and it was soH3651. 8GodH430 calledH7121 the 13expanseH7549 heavenH8064. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a secondH8145 dayH3117.

9Then GodH430 saidH559, “14Let the watersH4325 belowH4480H8478 the heavensH8064 be gatheredH6960 into oneH259 placeH4725, and let 15the dryH3004 landH3004 appearH7200”; and it was soH3651. 10GodH430 calledH7121 the dryH3004 landH3004 earthH776, and the 16gatheringH4723 of the watersH4325 He calledH7121 seasH3220; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 11Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 sproutH1876 1718vegetationH1877, 19plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233, and fruitH6529 treesH6086 on the earthH776 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 after 20their kindH4327 21with seedH2233 in them”; and it was soH3651. 12The earthH776 broughtH3318 forthH3318 22vegetationH1877, 23plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 after 24their kindH4327, and treesH6086 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 25with seedH2233 in them, after 26their kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 13There was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a thirdH7992 dayH3117.

14Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be 2728lightsH3974 in the 2930expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to separateH914 the dayH3117 from the nightH3915, and let them be for 31signsH226 and for 32seasonsH4150 and for daysH3117 and yearsH8141; 15and let them be for 33lightsH3974 in the 34expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776”; and it was soH3651. 16GodH430 madeH6213 the twoH8147 35greatH1419 lightsH3974, the 36greaterH1419 37lightH3974 38to governH4475 the dayH3117, and the lesserH6996 39lightH3974 40to governH4475 the nightH3915; He made 41the starsH3556 also.
