ChristianBibleGenesis|One

1In the beginning God created the heaven and the

earth.

2And 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.

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

4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God

divided the light from the darkness.

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he

called Night. And the evening and the morning were

the first day.

6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst

of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the

waters.

7And 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.

8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the

evening and the morning were the second day.

9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be

gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land

appear: and it was so.

10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering

together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw

that it was good.

11And 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.

12And 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.

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

14And 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:

15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the

heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16And 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.

17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to

give light upon the earth,

18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to

divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that

it was good.

19And the evening and the morning were the fourth

day.

20And 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.

21And 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.

22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and

multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl

multiply in the earth.

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

24And 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.

25And 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.

26And 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.

27So God created man in his own image, in the image of

God created he him; male and female created he

them.

28And 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.

29And 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.

30And 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.

31And God saw every thing that he had made, and,

behold, it was very good. And the evening and the

morning were the sixth day.
