Genesis Chapter 1

Genesis Chapter 1
1 In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form and
void, and darkness was upon the deep,
and the Spirit of God moved upon the
waters.
3 Then God said, Let there be light: And
there was light.
4 And God saw the light that it was
good, and God separated the light from
the darkness.
5 And God called the light, Day, and the
darkness, he called Night. So the
evening and the morning were the first
day.
6 Again God said, Let there be a
firmament in the midst of the waters: and
let it separate the waters from the
waters.
7 Then God made the firmament, and
parted the waters, which were under the
firmament, from the waters which were
above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven.
So the evening and the morning were the
second day.
9 God said again, Let the waters under
the heaven be gathered into one place,
and let the dry land appear. and it was
so.
10 And God called the dry land, Earth,
and he called the gathering together of
the waters, Seas: and God saw that it
was good.
11 Then God said, Let the earth bud
forth the bud of the herb, that seedeth
seed, the fruitful tree, which beareth fruit
according to his kind, which may have
his seed in itself upon the earth: and it
was so.
12 And the earth brought forth the bud of
the herb, that seedeth seed according to
his kind, also the tree that yieldeth fruit,
which hath his seed in itself according to
his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 So the evening and the morning were
the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in
the firmament of the heaven, to separate
the day from the night, and let them be
for signs, and for seasons, and for days
and years.
15 And let them be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth. and it was so.
16 God then made two great lights: the
greater light to rule the day, and the less
light to rule the night: he made also the
stars.
17 And God set them in the firmament of
the heaven, to shine upon the earth, 18
And to rule in the day, and in the night,
and to separate the light from the
darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 So the evening and the morning were
the fourth day.
20 Afterward God said, Let the waters
bring forth in
abundance every creeping thing that hath
life: and let the foul fly upon the earth in
the open firmament of the heaven.
21 Then God created the great whales,
and every thing living and moving,
which the waters brought forth in
abundance, according to their kind, and
every feathered foul according to his
kind: and God saw that it was good. 22
Then God blessed them, saying, Bring
forth fruit and multiply, and fill the
waters in the seas, and let the foul
multiply in the earth.
23 So the evening and the morning were
the fifth day.
24 Moreover God said, Let the earth
bring forth the living thing according to
his kind, cattle, and that which creepeth,
and the beast of the earth, according to
his kind. And it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth
according to his kind, and the cattle
according to his kind, and every
creeping thing of the earth according to
his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 Furthermore God said, Let us make
man in our image according to our
likeness, and let them rule over the fish
of the sea, and over the foul of the
heaven, and over the beasts, and over all
the earth, and over every thing that
creepeth and moveth on the earth.
27 Thus God created the man in his
image: in the image of God created he
him: he created them male and female.
28 And God blessed them, and God said
to them, Bring forth fruit and multiply,
and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule
over the fish of the sea, and over the foul
of the heaven, and over every beast that
moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said,
Behold, I have given unto you every herb
bearing seed, which is upon all the earth,
and every tree, wherein is the fruit of a
tree bearing seed: that shall be to you
for meat.
30 Likewise to every beast of the earth,
and to every foul of the heaven, and to
every thing that moveth upon the earth,
which hath life in itself, every green
herb shall be for meat. And it was so.
31 And God saw all that he had made,
and lo, it was very good. So the evening
and the morning were the sixth day.
