1. In the beginning God created the sky and the earth.
|
1. In the beginning H7225 God H430 created H1254 H853 the heaven H8064 and the earth H776 .
|
|
2. The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and God's Spirit was moving over the water.
|
2. And the earth H776 was H1961 without form H8414 , and void H922 ; and darkness H2822 was upon H5921 the face H6440 of the deep H8415 . And the Spirit H7307 of God H430 moved H7363 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the waters H4325 .
|
|
3. Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
|
3. And God H430 said H559 , Let there be H1961 light H216 : and there was H1961 light H216 .
|
|
4. God saw that the light was good, so he divided the light from the darkness.
|
4. And God H430 saw H7200 H853 the light H216 , that H3588 it was good H2896 : and God H430 divided H914 H996 the light H216 from H996 the darkness H2822 .
|
|
5. God named the light "day" and the darkness "night." Evening passed, and morning came. This was the first day.
|
5. And God H430 called H7121 the light H216 Day H3117 , and the darkness H2822 he called H7121 Night H3915 . And the evening H6153 and the morning H1242 were H1961 the first H259 day H3117 .
|
|
6. Then God said, "Let there be something to divide the water in two."
|
6. And God H430 said H559 , Let there be H1961 a firmament H7549 in the midst H8432 of the waters H4325 , and let H1961 it divide H914 H996 the waters H4325 from the waters H4325 .
|
|
7. So God made the air and placed some of the water above the air and some below it.
|
7. And God H430 made H6213 H853 the firmament H7549 , and divided H914 H996 the waters H4325 which H834 were under H4480 H8478 the firmament H7549 from H996 the waters H4325 which H834 were above H4480 H5921 the firmament H7549 : and it was H1961 so H3651 .
|
|
8. God named the air "sky." Evening passed, and morning came. This was the second day.
|
8. And God H430 called H7121 the firmament H7549 Heaven H8064 . And the evening H6153 and the morning H1242 were H1961 the second H8145 day H3117 .
|
|
9. Then God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered together so the dry land will appear." And it happened.
|
9. And God H430 said H559 , Let the waters H4325 under H4480 H8478 the heaven H8064 be gathered together H6960 unto H413 one H259 place H4725 , and let the dry H3004 land appear H7200 : and it was H1961 so H3651 .
|
|
10. God named the dry land "earth" and the water that was gathered together "seas." God saw that this was good.
|
10. And God H430 called H7121 the dry H3004 land Earth H776 ; and the gathering together H4723 of the waters H4325 called H7121 he Seas H3220 : and God H430 saw H7200 that H3588 it was good H2896 .
|
|
11. Then God said, "Let the earth produce plants -- some to make grain for seeds and others to make fruits with seeds in them. Every seed will produce more of its own kind of plant." And it happened.
|
11. And God H430 said H559 , Let the earth H776 bring forth H1876 grass H1877 , the herb H6212 yielding H2232 seed H2233 , and the fruit H6529 tree H6086 yielding H6213 fruit H6529 after his kind H4327 , whose H834 seed H2233 is in itself, upon H5921 the earth H776 : and it was H1961 so H3651 .
|
|
12. The earth produced plants with grain for seeds and trees that made fruits with seeds in them. Each seed grew its own kind of plant. God saw that all this was good.
|
12. And the earth H776 brought forth H3318 grass H1877 , and herb H6212 yielding H2232 seed H2233 after his kind H4327 , and the tree H6086 yielding H6213 fruit H6529 , whose H834 seed H2233 was in itself , after his kind H4327 : and God H430 saw H7200 that H3588 it was good H2896 .
|
|
13. Evening passed, and morning came. This was the third day.
|
13. And the evening H6153 and the morning H1242 were H1961 the third H7992 day H3117 .
|
|
14. Then God said, "Let there be lights in the sky to separate day from night. These lights will be used for signs, seasons, days, and years.
|
14. And God H430 said H559 , Let there be H1961 lights H3974 in the firmament H7549 of the heaven H8064 to divide H914 H996 the day H3117 from H996 the night H3915 ; and let them be H1961 for signs H226 , and for seasons H4150 , and for days H3117 , and years H8141 :
|
|
15. They will be in the sky to give light to the earth." And it happened.
|
15. And let them be H1961 for lights H3974 in the firmament H7549 of the heaven H8064 to give light H215 upon H5921 the earth H776 : and it was H1961 so H3651 .
|
|
16. So God made the two large lights. He made the brighter light to rule the day and made the smaller light to rule the night. He also made the stars.
|
16. And God H430 made H6213 H853 two H8147 great H1419 lights H3974 ; H853 the greater H1419 light H3974 to rule H4475 the day H3117 , and the lesser H6996 light H3974 to rule H4475 the night H3915 : he made the stars H3556 also.
|
|
17. God put all these in the sky to shine on the earth,
|
17. And God H430 set H5414 them in the firmament H7549 of the heaven H8064 to give light H215 upon H5921 the earth H776 ,
|
|
18. to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. God saw that all these things were good.
|
18. And to rule H4910 over the day H3117 and over the night H3915 , and to divide H914 H996 the light H216 from H996 the darkness H2822 : and God H430 saw H7200 that H3588 it was good H2896 .
|
|
19. Evening passed, and morning came. This was the fourth day.
|
19. And the evening H6153 and the morning H1242 were H1961 the fourth H7243 day H3117 .
|
|
20. Then God said, "Let the water be filled with living things, and let birds fly in the air above the earth."
|
20. And God H430 said H559 , Let the waters H4325 bring forth abundantly H8317 the moving creature H8318 that hath life H5315 H2416 , and fowl H5775 that may fly H5774 above H5921 the earth H776 in H5921 the open H6440 firmament H7549 of heaven H8064 .
|
|
21. So God created the large sea animals and every living thing that moves in the sea. The sea is filled with these living things, with each one producing more of its own kind. He also made every bird that flies, and each bird produced more of its own kind. God saw that this was good.
|
21. And God H430 created H1254 H853 great H1419 whales H8577 , and every H3605 living H2416 creature H5315 that moveth H7430 , which H834 the waters H4325 brought forth abundantly H8317 , after their kind H4327 , and every H3605 winged H3671 fowl H5775 after his kind H4327 : and God H430 saw H7200 that H3588 it was good H2896 .
|
|
22. God blessed them and said, "Have many young ones so that you may grow in number. Fill the water of the seas, and let the birds grow in number on the earth."
|
22. And God H430 blessed H1288 them, saying H559 , Be fruitful H6509 , and multiply H7235 , and fill H4390 H853 the waters H4325 in the seas H3220 , and let fowl H5775 multiply H7235 in the earth H776 .
|
|
23. Evening passed, and morning came. This was the fifth day.
|
23. And the evening H6153 and the morning H1242 were H1961 the fifth H2549 day H3117 .
|
|
24. Then God said, "Let the earth be filled with animals, each producing more of its own kind. Let there be tame animals and small crawling animals and wild animals, and let each produce more of its kind." And it happened.
|
24. And God H430 said H559 , Let the earth H776 bring forth H3318 the living H2416 creature H5315 after his kind H4327 , cattle H929 , and creeping thing H7431 , and beast H2416 of the earth H776 after his kind H4327 : and it was H1961 so H3651 .
|
|
25. So God made the wild animals, the tame animals, and all the small crawling animals to produce more of their own kind. God saw that this was good.
|
25. And God H430 made H6213 H853 the beast H2416 of the earth H776 after his kind H4327 , and cattle H929 after their kind H4327 , and every thing H3605 that creepeth H7431 upon the earth H127 after his kind H4327 : and God H430 saw H7200 that H3588 it was good H2896 .
|
|
26. Then God said, "Let us make human beings in our image and likeness. And let them rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the tame animals, over all the earth, and over all the small crawling animals on the earth."
|
26. And God H430 said H559 , Let us make H6213 man H120 in our image H6754 , after our likeness H1823 : and let them have dominion H7287 over the fish H1710 of the sea H3220 , and over the fowl H5775 of the air H8064 , and over the cattle H929 , and over all H3605 the earth H776 , and over every H3605 creeping thing H7431 that creepeth H7430 upon H5921 the earth H776 .
|
|
27. So God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female.
|
27. So God H430 created H1254 H853 man H120 in his own image H6754 , in the image H6754 of God H430 created H1254 he him; male H2145 and female H5347 created H1254 he them.
|
|
28. God blessed them and said, "Have many children and grow in number. Fill the earth and be its master. Rule over the fish in the sea and over the birds in the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
|
28. And God H430 blessed H1288 them , and God H430 said H559 unto them , Be fruitful H6509 , and multiply H7235 , and replenish H4390 H853 the earth H776 , and subdue H3533 it : and have dominion H7287 over the fish H1710 of the sea H3220 , and over the fowl H5775 of the air H8064 , and over every H3605 living thing H2416 that moveth H7430 upon H5921 the earth H776 .
|
|
29. God said, "Look, I have given you all the plants that have grain for seeds and all the trees whose fruits have seeds in them. They will be food for you.
|
29. And God H430 said H559 , Behold H2009 , I have given H5414 you H853 every H3605 herb H6212 bearing H2232 seed H2233 , which H834 is upon H5921 the face H6440 of all H3605 the earth H776 , and every H3605 tree H6086 , in the which H834 is the fruit H6529 of a tree H6086 yielding H2232 seed H2233 ; to you it shall be H1961 for meat H402 .
|
|
30. I have given all the green plants as food for every wild animal, every bird of the air, and every small crawling animal." And it happened.
|
30. And to every H3605 beast H2416 of the earth H776 , and to every H3605 fowl H5775 of the air H8064 , and to every thing H3605 that creepeth H7430 upon H5921 the earth H776 , wherein H834 there is life H5315 H2416 , I have given H853 every H3605 green H3418 herb H6212 for meat H402 : and it was H1961 so H3651 .
|
|
31. God looked at everything he had made, and it was very good. Evening passed, and morning came. This was the sixth day.
|
31. And God H430 saw H7200 H853 every thing H3605 that H834 he had made H6213 , and, behold H2009 , it was very H3966 good H2896 . And the evening H6153 and the morning H1242 were H1961 the sixth H8345 day H3117 .
