Genesis 1:12-29

12The earth produced 1vegetation, 2plants yielding seed according to 3their kind, and trees bearing fruit 4with seed in them, according to 5their kind; and God saw that it was good. 13And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.

14Then God said, “Let there be 67lights in the 89expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and they shall 10serve as 11signs and for 12seasons, and for days and years; 15and they 13shall serve as lights in the 14expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16God made the two great lights, the 15greater light 16to govern the day, and the lesser light 17to govern the night; He made 18the stars also. 1719God placed them in the 20expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18and 21to 22govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. 19And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

20Then God said, “Let the waters 23teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth 24in the open 25expanse of the heavens.” 21And God created 26the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind; and God saw that it was good. 22God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

2427Then God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures according to 28their kind: livestock and crawling things and animals of the earth according to 29their kind”; and it was so. 25God made the 30animals of the earth according to 31their kind, and the livestock according to 32their kind, and everything that crawls on the ground according to its kind; and God saw that it was good.

26Then God said, “33Let 34Us make 35mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and 36let them 37rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth.” 27So God created man 38in His own image, in the image of God He created him; 39male and female He created them. 28God blessed them; and God said to them, “40Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that 41moves on the earth.” 29Then God said, “Behold, 42I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the 43surface of all the earth, and every tree 44which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;
