Genesis 1:3-31
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. 1742GodH430 placedH5414 them in the 43expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776, 18and 44to 45governH4910 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 46teemH8317 with swarmsH8318 of livingH2416 creaturesH5315, and let birdsH5775 flyH5774 aboveH5921 the earthH776 47in the openH6440 48expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064.” 21GodH430 createdH1254 49the 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.
2450Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 bringH3318 forthH3318 livingH2416 creaturesH5315 after 51their kindH4327: cattleH929 and creepingH7431 thingsH7431 and beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 52their kindH4327”; and it was soH3651. 25GodH430 madeH6213 the 53beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 54their kindH4327, and the cattleH929 after 55their kindH4327, and everythingH3605 that creepsH7431 on the groundH127 after its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.
26Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let 56Us makeH6213 57manH120 in Our imageH6754, according to Our likenessH1823; and let them 58ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 59skyH8064 and over the cattleH929 and over allH3605 the earthH776, and over everyH3605 creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepsH7430 on the earthH776.” 27GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 60in His own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 He createdH1254 him; 61maleH2145 and femaleH5347 He createdH1254 them. 28GodH430 blessedH1288 them; and GodH430 saidH559 to them, “62Be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 63skyH8064 and over everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416 that 64movesH7430 on the earthH776.” 29Then GodH430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 65I have givenH5414 you everyH3605 plantH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 that is on the 66surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and everyH3605 treeH6086 67whichH834 has fruitH6529 yieldingH2232 seedH2233; it shall be foodH402 for you; 30and 68to everyH3605 beastH2421 of the earthH776 and to everyH3605 birdH5775 of the 69skyH8064 and to everyH3605 thingH3605 that 70movesH7430 on the earthH776 71whichH834 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 72goodH2896. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, the sixthH8345 dayH3117.
