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.
