Genesis Chapter 1
Revised Version 1895
1In the beginningH7225 GodH430 createdH1254 the heavenH8064 and the earthH776. 2And the earthH776 was wasteH8414 and voidH922; and darknessH2822 was uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the deepH8415: and the spiritH7307 of GodH430 movedH7307 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the watersH4325. 3And GodH430 saidH559, LetH1961 there be lightH216: and there was lightH216. 4And GodH430 sawH7200 the lightH216, that it was goodH2896: and GodH430 dividedH914 the lightH216 from the darknessH2822. 5And GodH430 calledH7121 the lightH216 DayH3117, and the darknessH2822 he calledH7121 NightH3915. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, one dayH3117. 6And GodH430 saidH559, LetH1961 there be a firmamentH7549 in the midstH8432 of the watersH4325, and letH1961 it divideH914 the watersH4325 from the watersH4325. 7And GodH430 madeH6213 the firmamentH7549, and dividedH914 the watersH4325 whichH834 were underH8478 the firmamentH7549 from the watersH4325 whichH834 were aboveH5921 the firmamentH7549: and it was soH3651. 8And GodH430 calledH7121 the firmamentH7549 HeavenH8064. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a secondH8145 dayH3117. 9And GodH430 saidH559, LetH1961 the watersH4325 underH8478 the heavenH8064 be gatheredH6960 togetherH259 unto one placeH4725, and letH1961 the dryH3004 landH3004 appearH7200: and it was soH3651. 10And GodH430 calledH7121 the dryH3004 landH776 EarthH776; and the gatheringH4723 togetherH3220 of the watersH4325 calledH7121 he SeasH3220: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 11And GodH430 saidH559, LetH1961 the earthH776 put forth grassH1877, herbH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233, and fruitH6529 treeH6086 bearingH6213 fruitH6529 afterH5921 itsH5921 kindH4327, whereinH834 is the seedH2233 thereof, uponH5921 the earthH776: and it was soH3651. 12And the earthH776 broughtH3318 forthH3318 grassH1877, herbH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 afterH3588 itsH3588 kindH4327, and treeH6086 bearingH6213 fruitH6529, whereinH834 is the seedH2233 thereof, afterH3588 itsH3588 kindH4327: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 13And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a thirdH7992 dayH3117. 14And GodH430 saidH559, LetH1961 there be lightsH3974 in the firmamentH7549 of the heavenH8064 to divideH914 the dayH3117 from the nightH3915; and letH1961 them be for signsH226, and for seasonsH4150, and for daysH3117 and yearsH8141: 15and letH1961 them be for lightsH3974 in the firmamentH7549 of the heavenH8064 to giveH215 lightH215 uponH5921 the earthH776: and it was soH3651. 16And GodH430 madeH6213 the twoH8147 greatH1419 lightsH3974; the greaterH1419 lightH3974 to ruleH4475 the dayH3117, and the lesserH6996 lightH3974 to ruleH4475 the nightH3915: he madeH6213 the starsH3556 also. 17And GodH430 setH5414 them in the firmamentH7549 of the heavenH8064 to giveH5414 lightH215 uponH5921 the earthH776, 18and to ruleH4910 over the dayH3117 and over the nightH3915, and to divideH914 the lightH216 from the darknessH2822: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 19And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a fourthH7243 dayH3117. 20And GodH430 saidH559, LetH5315 the watersH4325 bring forth abundantlyH8317 the moving creatureH5315 that hath lifeH5315, and letH5315 fowlH5775 flyH5774 aboveH5921 the earthH776 in the openH6440 firmamentH7549 of heavenH8064. 21And GodH430 createdH1254 the greatH1419 sea-monsters, and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that moveth, whichH834 the watersH4325 brought forth abundantlyH8317, afterH3588 their kindsH4327, and everyH3605 wingedH3671 fowlH5775 afterH3588 itsH3605 kindH4327: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 22And GodH430 blessedH1288 them, sayingH559, Be fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the watersH4325 in the seasH3220, and let fowlH5775 multiplyH7235 in the earthH776. 23And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a fifthH2549 dayH3117. 24And GodH430 saidH559, LetH1961 the earthH776 bringH3318 forthH3318 the livingH2416 creatureH5315 afterH1961 itsH1961 kindH4327, cattleH929, and creepingH7431 thingH7431, and beastH929 of the earthH776 afterH1961 itsH1961 kindH4327: and it was soH3651. 25And GodH430 madeH6213 the beastH929 of the earthH776 afterH3588 itsH3605 kindH4327, and the cattleH929 afterH3588 their kindH4327, and everyH3605 thingH7431 that creepeth uponH7200 the groundH776 afterH3588 itsH3605 kindH4327: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 26And GodH430 saidH559, Let usH5921 makeH6213 manH120 in our imageH6754, afterH5921 our likenessH1823: and let them have dominionH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220, and over the fowlH5775 of the air, and over the cattleH929, and over allH3605 the earthH776, and over everyH3605 creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepeth uponH5921 the earthH776. 27And GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 in his own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 createdH1254 he him; maleH2145 and femaleH5347 createdH1254 he them. 28And GodH430 blessedH1288 them: and GodH430 saidH559 unto them, Be fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235, and replenish the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and have dominionH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220, and over the fowlH5775 of the air, and over everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH3605 that moveth uponH5921 the earthH776. 29And GodH430 saidH559, BeholdH2009, I have givenH5414 youH834 everyH3605 herbH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233, whichH834 is uponH5921 the faceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and everyH3605 treeH6086, in the whichH834 is the fruitH6529 of a treeH6086 yieldingH2232 seedH2233; to youH834 it shall be for meat: 30and to everyH3605 beastH2416 of the earthH776, and to everyH3605 fowlH5775 of the air, and to everyH3605 thingH3651 that creepeth uponH5921 the earthH776, whereinH834 there is lifeH5315, I have given everyH3605 greenH3418 herbH6212 for meat: and it was soH3651. 31And GodH430 sawH7200 everyH3605 thingH3605 that he had madeH6213, and, beholdH2009, it was veryH3966 goodH2896. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, the sixthH8345 dayH3117.
