The Beginning

In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth. In the beginning, the earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the surface of the deep, and god hovered over the waters. And God said Let light exist, and there was light, and God saw that the light was good. And he separated the light from the darkness, and there was evening, and there was morning the first day.

And God said Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water. So he made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. He called the expanse sky. There was evening, and there was morning the second day.


And God said Let the water under the expanse be gathered in to one place. And let dry ground appear, it was so, and the ground he called land, and the water he called sea.

Then God said let the land produce vegetation seed bearing plants and trees that bear fruit with seeds in it according to their various kinds. And it was so the land produces vegetation, plants that bore seeds and trees that bore fruit with seeds in them. And God saw that it was good and was evening and there was morning, the third day.

And God said let there be light s in the expanse of the Sky to separate the Day from the Night. And let them serve as signs to mark the seasons and says and years. Let them be lights in the expanse of the Sky to illuminate the earth. God made two great lights the greater one to govern the Day and the lesser one to govern the Night.he also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the Sky to govern the Day and the Night and to separate Light from Darkness. And God saw that it was good and there was Evening and there was Morning the fourth Day

And God said let the water teen with living creatures and let birds fly above the earth and across the expanse of the Sky and so God created every living and moving things with which the water teems according to their kind and every bird according to it's kind.
And God saw that it was good. And he blessed them and said "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the waters of the seas and let the birds increase in number. And there was Evening and there was Morning the fifth Day.

Then God said let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds. Livestock, creatures that move along the ground and wild creatures according to their kind. And it was so God made live stock according to their kinds, wild animals according to their kinds and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Then God said let us make Man in our imageand let them rule over the creatures of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the livestock and all the earth.and over all the creatures that move along the ground.

God created Man in his own image
In the image of he created him
Male and Female he created them.


God blessed them and said "Be fruitful and increase in number fill the earth and sudue it. Rule over the Fish of the Sea the Birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground."

And God said bearing plant and every tree that bears fruit with seeds in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth all the birds of the air all the creatures that move on ground I give every green plant for food.

And there was Evening and there was morning the Sixth Day
