Genesis

GENESIS 1

The Creation of the World

In the beginning, God created the heavens

and the earth. The earth was without

form and void, and darkness was over the

face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was

hovering over the face of the waters.

And God said, "Let there be light," and

there was light. And God saw that the light

was good. And God separated the light from

the darkness. God called the light Day, and

the darkness he called Night. And there was

evening and there was morning, the first day.

And God said, "Let there be an expanse

in the midst of the waters, and let it separate

the waters from the waters." And God

made the expanse and separated the waters

that were above the expanse. And it was so,

And God called the expanse Heaven. And

there was evening and there was morning,

the second day.

And God said, "Let the waters under the

heavens be gathered together into one place,

and let the dry land appear." And it was so,

God called the dry land Earth, and the

waters that were gathered together he called

Seas. And God saw that it was good...

1:26

Then God said, "Let us make man in our

image, after our likeness. And let them have

dominion over the fish of the sea and of the

birds of the heavens and over the livestock

and over all the earth and over every creeping

thing that creeps on the earth."

So God created man in his own image,

in the image of God he created him;

male and female he created them.

And God blessed them. And God said

to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill

the earth and subdue it, and have dominion

over the fish of the sea and over the birds

of the heavens and over every living thing

that moves on the earth. And God said,

"Behold, I have given you every plant yielding

seed that is on the face of all the earth,

and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall

have food for them. And to every beast of

the earth and to every bird of the heavens

and to everything that has the breath of life, I have

given every green plant for food." And it was

so. And God saw everything that he had

made, and behold, it was very good. And

there was evening and there was morning,

the sixth day.
