Genesis 1:3-16

3Then 1GodH430 saidH559, “2Let there be lightH216”; and there was lightH216. 4GodH430 sawH7200 that the lightH216 was 3goodH2896; and GodH430 4separatedH914 the lightH216 from the darknessH2822. 55GodH430 calledH7121 the lightH216 “dayH3117,” and the darknessH2822 He calledH7121 “nightH3915.” And 6there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, oneH259 dayH3117.

6Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let there be 7an 8expanseH7549 in the midstH8432 of the watersH4325, and let it separateH914 the watersH4325 from the watersH4325.” 7GodH430 madeH6213 the 9expanseH7549, and separatedH914 10the watersH4325 thatH834 were belowH4480H8478 the 11expanseH7549 from the watersH4325 12thatH834 were aboveH4480H5921 the 13expanseH7549; and it was soH3651. 8GodH430 calledH7121 the 14expanseH7549 “heavenH8064.” And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a secondH8145 dayH3117.

9Then GodH430 saidH559, “15Let the watersH4325 belowH4480H8478 the heavensH8064 be gatheredH6960 into oneH259 placeH4725, and let 16the dryH3004 landH3004 appearH7200”; and it was soH3651. 10And GodH430 calledH7121 the dryH3004 landH3004 “earthH776,” and the 17gatheringH4723 of the watersH4325 He calledH7121 “seasH3220”; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 11Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 sproutH1876 1819vegetationH1877, 20plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233, and fruitH6529 treesH6086 on the earthH776 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 according to 21their kindH4327 22with seedH2233 in them”; and it was soH3651. 12The earthH776 producedH3318 23vegetationH1877, 24plantsH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 according to 25their kindH4327, and treesH6086 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 26with seedH2233 in them, according to 27their 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 2829lightsH3974 in the 3031expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to separateH914 the dayH3117 from the nightH3915, and they shall 32serve as 33signsH226 and for 34seasonsH4150, and for daysH3117 and yearsH8141; 15and they 35shall serve as lightsH3974 in the 36expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 on the earthH776”; and it was soH3651. 16GodH430 madeH6213 the twoH8147 greatH1419 lightsH3974, the 37greaterH1419 lightH3974 38to governH4475 the dayH3117, and the lesserH6996 lightH3974 39to governH4475 the nightH3915; He made 40the starsH3556 also.
