Genesis Chapter 1

The Creation

11In the beginningH7225 2GodH430 3createdH1254 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776. 2And the earthH776 was a 45formlessH8414 and desolateH922 emptinessH922, and 6darknessH2822 was overH5921 the 7surfaceH6440 of the deepH8415, and 8the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 9was hoveringH7363 overH5921 the 10surfaceH6440 of the watersH4325. 3Then 11GodH430 saidH559, “12Let there be lightH216”; and there was lightH216. 4GodH430 sawH7200 that the lightH216 was 13goodH2896; and GodH430 14separatedH914 the lightH216 from the darknessH2822. 515GodH430 calledH7121 the lightH216 “dayH3117,” and the darknessH2822 He calledH7121 “nightH3915.” And 16there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, oneH259 dayH3117.

6Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be 17an 18expanseH7549 in the midstH8432 of the watersH4325, and let it separateH914 the watersH4325 from the watersH4325.” 7GodH430 madeH6213 the 19expanseH7549, and separatedH914 20the watersH4325 thatH834 were belowH4480H8478 the 21expanseH7549 from the watersH4325 22thatH834 were aboveH4480H5921 the 23expanseH7549; and it was soH3651. 8GodH430 calledH7121 the 24expanseH7549 “heavenH8064.” And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a secondH8145 dayH3117.

9Then GodH430 saidH559, “25Let the watersH4325 belowH4480H8478 the heavensH8064 be gatheredH6960 into oneH259 placeH4725, and let 26the dryH3004 landH3004 appearH7200”; and it was soH3651. 10And GodH430 calledH7121 the dryH3004 landH3004 “earthH776,” and the 27gatheringH4723 of the watersH4325 He calledH7121 “seasH3220”; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 11Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 sproutH1876 2829vegetationH1877, 30plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233, and fruitH6529 treesH6086 on the earthH776 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 according to 31their kindH4327 32with seedH2233 in them”; and it was soH3651. 12The earthH776 producedH3318 33vegetationH1877, 34plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 according to 35their kindH4327, and treesH6086 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 36with seedH2233 in them, according to 37their kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 13And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a thirdH7992 dayH3117.

14Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be 3839lightsH3974 in the 4041expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to separateH914 the dayH3117 from the nightH3915, and they shall 42serve as 43signsH226 and for 44seasonsH4150, and for daysH3117 and yearsH8141; 15and they 45shall serve as lightsH3974 in the 46expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776”; and it was soH3651. 16GodH430 madeH6213 the twoH8147 greatH1419 lightsH3974, the 47greaterH1419 lightH3974 48to governH4475 the dayH3117, and the lesserH6996 lightH3974 49to governH4475 the nightH3915; He made 50the starsH3556 also. 1751GodH430 placedH5414 them in the 52expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776, 18and 53to 54governH4910 the dayH3117 and the nightH3915, and to separateH914 the lightH216 from the darknessH2822; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 19And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a fourthH7243 dayH3117.

20Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the watersH4325 55teemH8317 with swarmsH8318 of livingH2416 creaturesH5315, and let birdsH5775 flyH5774 aboveH5921 the earthH776 56in the openH6440 57expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064.” 21And GodH430 createdH1254 58the greatH1419 seaH8577 creaturesH8577 and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that movesH7430, with whichH834 the watersH4325 swarmedH8317, according to their kindH4327, and everyH3605 wingedH3671 birdH5775 according to its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 22GodH430 blessedH1288 them, sayingH559, “BeH6509 fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the watersH4325 in the seasH3220, and let birdsH5775 multiplyH7235 on the earthH776.” 23And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a fifthH2549 dayH3117.

2459Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 produceH3318 livingH2416 creaturesH5315 according to 60their kindH4327: livestockH929 and crawlingH7431 thingsH7431 and animalsH2421 of the earthH776 according to 61their kindH4327”; and it was soH3651. 25GodH430 madeH6213 the 62animalsH2421 of the earthH776 according to 63their kindH4327, and the livestockH929 according to 64their kindH4327, and everythingH3605 that crawlsH7431 on the groundH127 according to its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.

26Then GodH430 saidH559, “65Let 66Us makeH6213 67mankindH120 in Our imageH6754, according to Our likenessH1823; and 68let them 69ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and over the livestockH929 and over allH3605 the earthH776, and over everyH3605 crawlingH7431 thingH7431 that crawlsH7430 on the earthH776.” 27So GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 70in His own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 He createdH1254 him; 71maleH2145 and femaleH5347 He createdH1254 them. 28GodH430 blessedH1288 them; and GodH430 saidH559 to them, “72BeH6509 fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and over everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416 that 73movesH7430 on the earthH776.” 29Then GodH430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 74I have givenH5414 you everyH3605 plantH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 that is on the 75surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and everyH3605 treeH6086 76whichH834 has fruitH6529 yieldingH2232 seedH2233; it shall be foodH402 for you; 30and 77to everyH3605 animalH2421 of the earthH776 and to everyH3605 birdH5775 of the skyH8064 and to everythingH3605 that 78movesH7430 on the earthH776 79whichH834 has lifeH5315H2421, I have given everyH3605 greenH3418 plantH6212 for foodH402”; and it was soH3651. 31And GodH430 sawH7200 allH3605 that He had madeH6213, and beholdH2009, it was veryH3966 80goodH2896. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, the sixthH8345 dayH3117.
