| In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over
the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God
was hovering over the waters.
God said, "Let there be
light" and there was light. God saw that the light was good,
and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light
"day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and
there was morning - the first day. God said, "Let the land produce
vegetation: seed - bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it,
according to their various kinds." And it was so. The land produced vegetation:
plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it
according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there
was evening, and there was morning - the third day. God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful
and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the
earth." And there was evening, and there was morning - the fifth day. God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." God said, "I give you every seed - bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground - everything that has the breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning - the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
