Genesis 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 face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved * upon the face of the waters.

3.  And God said * , Let there be * light: and there was light.

4.  And God saw * the light,that it was good: and God divided * the light from the darkness.

5.  And God called * the light Day, and the darkness he called * Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6.  And God said * , Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide * the waters from the waters.

7.  And God made * the firmament, and divided * 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. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9.  And God said * , Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together * unto one place, and let the dry land appear * : and it was so.

10.  And God called * the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called * he Seas: and God saw * that it was good.

11.  And God said * , Let the earth bring forth * grass, the herb yielding * seed, and the fruit tree yielding * fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12.  And the earth brought forth * grass, and herb yielding * seed after his kind, and the tree yielding * fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw * that it was good.

13.  And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14.  And God said * , Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide * 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.  And God made * two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17.  And God set * them in the firmament of the heaven to give light * upon the earth,

18.  And to rule * over the day and over the night, and to divide * the light from the darkness: and God saw * that it was good.

19.  And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20.  And God said * , Let the waters bring forth abundantly * the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly * above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21.  And God created * great whales, and every living creature that moveth * , which the waters brought forth abundantly * , after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw * that it was good.

22.  And God blessed * them, saying * , Be fruitful * , and multiply * , and fill * the waters in the seas,and let fowl multiply * in the earth.

23.  And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24.  And God said * , Let the earth bring forth * the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25.  And God made * the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw * that it was good.

26.  And God said * , Let us make * man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion * over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth * upon the earth.

27.  So God created * man in his own image, in the image of God created * he him; male and female created * he them.

28.  And God blessed * them, and God said * unto them, Be fruitful * , and multiply * , and replenish * the earth, and subdue it * : and have dominion * over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth * upon the earth.

29.  And God said * , Behold, I have given * you every herb bearing * seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding * seed;to you it shall be * for meat.

30.  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth * upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31.  And God saw * every thing that he had made * , and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
