Genesis 1:12-29
12The earthH776 producedH3318 1vegetationH1877, 2plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 according to 3their kindH4327, and treesH6086 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 4with seedH2233 in them, according to 5their 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 67lightsH3974 in the 89expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to separateH914 the dayH3117 from the nightH3915, and they shall 10serve as 11signsH226 and for 12seasonsH4150, and for daysH3117 and yearsH8141; 15and they 13shall serve as lightsH3974 in the 14expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776”; and it was soH3651. 16GodH430 madeH6213 the twoH8147 greatH1419 lightsH3974, the 15greaterH1419 lightH3974 16to governH4475 the dayH3117, and the lesserH6996 lightH3974 17to governH4475 the nightH3915; He made 18the starsH3556 also. 1719GodH430 placedH5414 them in the 20expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776, 18and 21to 22governH4910 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 23teemH8317 with swarmsH8318 of livingH2416 creaturesH5315, and let birdsH5775 flyH5774 aboveH5921 the earthH776 24in the openH6440 25expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064.” 21And GodH430 createdH1254 26the 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.
2427Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 produceH3318 livingH2416 creaturesH5315 according to 28their kindH4327: livestockH929 and crawlingH7431 thingsH7431 and animalsH2421 of the earthH776 according to 29their kindH4327”; and it was soH3651. 25GodH430 madeH6213 the 30animalsH2421 of the earthH776 according to 31their kindH4327, and the livestockH929 according to 32their kindH4327, and everythingH3605 that crawlsH7431 on the groundH127 according to its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.
26Then GodH430 saidH559, “33Let 34Us makeH6213 35mankindH120 in Our imageH6754, according to Our likenessH1823; and 36let them 37ruleH7287 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 38in His own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 He createdH1254 him; 39maleH2145 and femaleH5347 He createdH1254 them. 28GodH430 blessedH1288 them; and GodH430 saidH559 to them, “40BeH6509 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 41movesH7430 on the earthH776.” 29Then GodH430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 42I have givenH5414 you everyH3605 plantH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 that is on the 43surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and everyH3605 treeH6086 44whichH834 has fruitH6529 yieldingH2232 seedH2233; it shall be foodH402 for you;
