11 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth . 2 The earth was [1] formless and void , and darkness was over the [2]surface of the deep , and the Spirit of God was [3]moving over the [2]surface of the waters .
3 Then God said , "Let there be light "; and there was light . 4 God saw that the light was good ; and God separated the light from the darkness . 5 God called the light day , and the darkness He called night . And there was evening and there was morning , one day .
6 Then God said , "Let there be [5]an expanse in the midst of the waters , and let it separate the waters from the waters ." 7 God made the [6]expanse , and separated the waters which were below e the [6]expanse from the waters which were above e the [6]expanse ; and it was so . 8 God called the [9]expanse heaven . And there was evening and there was morning , a second day .
9 Then God said , " Let the waters below e the heavens be gathered into one place , and let the dry land appear "; and it was so . 10 God called the dry land earth , and the gathering of the waters He called seas ; and God saw that it was good . 11 Then God said , "Let the earth sprout [10] vegetation : [11]plants yielding seed , and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after [12]their kind [13]with seed in them"; and it was so . 12 The earth brought forth [14]vegetation , [15]plants yielding seed after [16]their kind , and trees bearing fruit [17]with seed in them, after [16]their kind ; and God saw that it was good . 13 There was evening and there was morning , a third day .
14 Then God said , "Let there be [19] lights in the [20] expanse of the heavens 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 [21]lights in the [22]expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth "; and it was so . 16 God made the two [23]great lights , the greater [24]light [25]to govern the day , and the lesser [24]light [25]to govern the night ; He made the stars also. 17 God placed them in the [28]expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth , 18 and [29]to govern the day and the night , and to separate the light from the darkness ; and God saw that it was good . 19 There was evening and there was morning , a fourth day .
20 Then God said , "Let the waters [30]teem with swarms of living creatures , and let birds fly above the earth [31]in the open [32]expanse of the heavens ." 21 God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves , with which the waters swarmed after their kind , and every winged bird after its kind ; and God saw that it was good . 22 God blessed them, saying , "Be fruitful and multiply , and fill the waters in the seas , and let birds multiply on the earth ." 23 There was evening and there was morning , a fifth day .
24 Then God said , "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after [33]their kind : cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after [33]their kind "; and it was so . 25 God made the beasts of the earth after [35]their kind , and the cattle after [35]their kind , and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind ; and God saw that it was good .
26 Then 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 birds of the [37]sky and over the cattle and over all the earth , and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth ." 27 God created man in His own image , in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, " Be fruitful and multiply , and fill the earth , and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [38]sky and over every living thing that [39]moves on the earth ."
29 Then God said , "Behold , I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the [40]surface of all the earth , and every tree [41]which has fruit yielding seed ; it shall be food for you; 30 and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the [42]sky and to every thing that [43]moves on the earth [44]which has life , I have given every green plant for food "; and it was so .
31 God saw all that He had made , and behold , it was very good . And there was evening and there was morning , the sixth day .
