¹ In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.² Now, the earth, had become waste and wild, and darkness, was on the face of the roaring deep, - but, the Spirit of God, was brooding on the face of the waters,

³ And God said - Light, be, And light was.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, but the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening - and it was morning, one day.

⁶ And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a means of dividing, between waters and waters,⁷ And God made the expanse, and it divided between the waters that were under the expanse and the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.⁸ And God called the expanse, heavens. So it was evening - and it was morning, a, second day.

⁹ And God said - Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together, into one place, and let the dry - ground appear. And it was so.¹⁰ And God called, the dry-ground, land, but the gathering together of the waters, called he seas. And God saw that it was good.¹¹ And God said - Let the land put-forth vegetation-herb yielding seed, fruit-tree, bearing fruit, after its kind, whose seed is within it on the land. And it was so,¹² And the land brought-forth vegetation - herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, whose seed is within it, after its kind, And God saw that it was good.¹³ So it was evening - and it was morning, a third day.

¹⁴ And God said - Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night, - and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;¹⁵ yea let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.¹⁶ And God made the two great luminaries, - the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars.¹⁷ And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, - to give light on 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 So it was evening - and it was morning, a fourth day.

²⁰ And God said - Let the waters swarm with an abundance of living soul, and, birds, shall fly over the earth, over the face of the expanse of the heavens.²¹ And God created the great sea-monsters, - and every living soul that moveth - with which the waters swarmed after their kind and every winged bird - after its 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, the birds, multiply in the land.²³ So it was evening - and it was morning, a fifth day.

²⁴ And God said - Let the land, bring forth, living soul, after its kind, tame-beast and creeping thing and wild-beast, of the land, after its kind. And it was so.²⁵ And God made the wild-beast of the land after its kind, and the tame-beast after its kind, and every creeping thing of the ground, after its 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 bird of the heavens and over the tame-beast - and over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land.²⁷ And God created the 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 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 bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.

²⁹ And God said - Lo! I have given to you - every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, - to you, shall it be, for food;³⁰ and to every living thing of the land - and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it wins so.

³¹ And God saw every thing which he had made, and lo! it was very good. So it was evening - and it was morning, the sixth day.
