Genesis 1:1-24
1In the 1beginningH7225 GodH430 createdH1254H853 the heavenH8064 andH853 the earthH776. 2And the earthH776 wasH1961 without formH8414, and voidH922; and darknessH2822 was upon the faceH6440 of the deepH8415. And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 movedH7363 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the watersH4325.
3And GodH430 saidH559,2 Let there beH1961 lightH216: and there was lightH216. 4And GodH430 sawH7200H853 the lightH216, thatH3588 it was goodH2896: and GodH430 dividedH914H996 the lightH216 fromH996 the darknessH2822.3 5And GodH430 calledH7121 the lightH216 DayH3117, and the darknessH2822 he calledH7121 NightH3915. And the eveningH6153 and the morningH1242 were the firstH259 dayH3117.4
6And GodH430 saidH559,5 Let there be a firmamentH7549 in the midstH8432 of the watersH4325, and let it divideH914 the watersH4325 from the watersH4325.6 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 the7 firmamentH7549 HeavenH8064. And the eveningH6153 and the morningH1242 were the secondH8145 dayH3117.8
9And GodH430 saidH559, Let the watersH4325 under the heavenH8064 be gathered togetherH6960 intoH413 oneH259 placeH4725, and let the dryH3004 land appearH7200: and it was so. 10And GodH430 calledH7121 the dryH3004 land EarthH776; and the gathering togetherH4723 of the watersH4325 he calledH7121 SeasH3220: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 11And GodH430 saidH559, Let the earthH776 bring forthH1876 grassH1877, the herbH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233, and the fruitH6529 treeH6086 yieldingH6213 fruitH6529 after its kindH4327, whoseH834 seedH2233 is in itself, upon the earthH776: and it was so.9 12And the earthH776 brought forthH3318 grassH1877, and herbH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 after its kindH4327, and the treeH6086 yieldingH6213 fruitH6529, whose seedH2233 was in itself, after its kindH4327: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 13And the eveningH6153 and the morningH1242 were the thirdH7992 dayH3117.10
14And GodH430 saidH559, Let there be lightsH3974 in the firmamentH7549 of the heavenH8064 to divideH914 the dayH3117 from the nightH3915; and let them be for signsH226, and for seasonsH4150, and for daysH3117, and yearsH8141:11 15And let them be for lightsH3974 in the firmamentH7549 of the heavenH8064 to give lightH215 upon the earthH776: and it was so. 16And GodH430 madeH6213 twoH8147 greatH1419 lightsH3974; the greaterH1419 lightH3974 to ruleH4475 the dayH3117, and the lesserH6996 lightH3974 to ruleH4475 the nightH3915: he made the starsH3556 also.12 17And GodH430 setH5414 them in the firmamentH7549 of the heavenH8064 to give lightH215 upon 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 the eveningH6153 and the morningH1242 were the fourthH7243 dayH3117.13
20And GodH430 saidH559, Let the watersH4325 bring forth abundantlyH8317 the moving creatureH8318 that hathH5315 lifeH2416, and fowlH5775 that may flyH5774 aboveH5921 the earthH776 in the openH6440 firmamentH7549 of heavenH8064.14151617 21And GodH430 createdH1254 greatH1419 sea creaturesH8577, and every livingH2416 creatureH5315 that movethH7430, which the watersH4325 brought forth abundantlyH8317, after their kindH4327, and every wingedH3671 fowlH5775 after his 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 the eveningH6153 and the morningH1242 were the fifthH2549 dayH3117.18
24And GodH430 saidH559, Let the earthH776 bring forthH3318 the livingH2416 creatureH5315 after his kindH4327, cattleH929, and creeping thingH7431, and the beastH2416 of the earthH776 after his kindH4327: and it was so.
