Chapter
1
In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And
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.
And
God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And
God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the
darkness.
And
God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and
the morning were the first day.
And
God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it
divide the waters from the waters.
And
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.
And
God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the
second day.
And
God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place,
and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And
God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called
he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
And
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.
And
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.
And
the evening and the morning were the third day.
And
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:
And
let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
earth: and it was so.
And
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.
And
God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
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.
And
the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
And
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.
And
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.
And
God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the
seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
And
the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
And
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.
And
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.
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 fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth.
So God
created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Matt 19:4 Mark 10:6
And
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.
And
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.
And 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.
And
God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the
evening and the morning were the sixth day.
