1In the beginning, God had created the heavens and the earth.
2The earth had become without form and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. Now the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the water.
3Then God said, “There shall come to be light,” and there was coming to be light. 4And God was observing that the light was good. And God was separating the light from the darkness. 5God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 1.
6Then God said, “There shall come to be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and it shall separate the water from the water.” 7So God was making the expanse and separating the water that was under the expanse from the water that was above the expanse. And it was becoming so. 8And God called the expanse Heaven. Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 2.
9Then God said, “The water under heaven shall be gathering together into one place, and the dry land shall be appearing.” And it was becoming so. 10God called the dry land Earth, and the water that was gathered together He called Oceans. And God was observing that it was good.
11And God said, “The ground shall cause vegetation to be sprouting forth, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was becoming so. 12The ground was causing vegetation to be brought forth, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God was observing that it was good. 13Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 3.
14Then God said, “There shall become lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And they shall be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15and they shall be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was becoming so. 16Now God was furnishing the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light (and the stars) to rule the night. 17So God appointed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God was observing that it was good. 19Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 4.
20Then God said, “The waters shall swarm with swarms of living souls, and birds shall fly above the earth across the face of the expanse of heaven.” 21So God was creating the great sea creatures and every living soul that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God was observing that it was good. 22Then God blessed them by saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the water in the oceans! And, birds shall multiply on the earth.” 23Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 5.
24Then God said, “The earth shall be bringing forth living souls according to their kinds: livestock and creeping animals and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was becoming so. 25So God was making the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and the livestock according to their kinds, and every animal that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God was observing that it was good.
26And God said, “We shall make man in Our image, after Our likeness. And they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping animal that creeps on the earth.” 27So God was creating man in His Own image. In the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
28And 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 heaven and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29And 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 them for food. 30And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of heaven and to every animal that creeps on the earth, everything that has the living soul, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good. Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 6.
2The earth had become without form and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. Now the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the water.
3Then God said, “There shall come to be light,” and there was coming to be light. 4And God was observing that the light was good. And God was separating the light from the darkness. 5God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 1.
6Then God said, “There shall come to be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and it shall separate the water from the water.” 7So God was making the expanse and separating the water that was under the expanse from the water that was above the expanse. And it was becoming so. 8And God called the expanse Heaven. Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 2.
9Then God said, “The water under heaven shall be gathering together into one place, and the dry land shall be appearing.” And it was becoming so. 10God called the dry land Earth, and the water that was gathered together He called Oceans. And God was observing that it was good.
11And God said, “The ground shall cause vegetation to be sprouting forth, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was becoming so. 12The ground was causing vegetation to be brought forth, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God was observing that it was good. 13Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 3.
14Then God said, “There shall become lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And they shall be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15and they shall be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was becoming so. 16Now God was furnishing the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light (and the stars) to rule the night. 17So God appointed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God was observing that it was good. 19Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 4.
20Then God said, “The waters shall swarm with swarms of living souls, and birds shall fly above the earth across the face of the expanse of heaven.” 21So God was creating the great sea creatures and every living soul that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God was observing that it was good. 22Then God blessed them by saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the water in the oceans! And, birds shall multiply on the earth.” 23Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 5.
24Then God said, “The earth shall be bringing forth living souls according to their kinds: livestock and creeping animals and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was becoming so. 25So God was making the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and the livestock according to their kinds, and every animal that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God was observing that it was good.
26And God said, “We shall make man in Our image, after Our likeness. And they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping animal that creeps on the earth.” 27So God was creating man in His Own image. In the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
28And 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 heaven and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29And 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 them for food. 30And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of heaven and to every animal that creeps on the earth, everything that has the living soul, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good. Then there was dusk and there was dawn. –Period 6.
