1.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2.

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.

3.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6.

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7.

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.

8.

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9.

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.

10.

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11.

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.

12.

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.

13.

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14.

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:

15.

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16.

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.

17.

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18.

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.

19.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20.

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.

21.

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.

22.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23.

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24.

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.

25.

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.

26.

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.

27.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28.

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.

29.

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.

30.

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.

12.

And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.

13.

And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.

14.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

15.

and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16.

25.

And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.

26.

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 birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27.

And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28.

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 birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:

30.

and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so.

And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which are under the expanse, and the waters which are above the expanse: and it is so.

8.

And God calleth to the expanse `Heavens;` and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day second.

3.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4.

And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,

5.

Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

6.

And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.

7.

And God made the arch for a division between the waters which were under the arch and those which were over it: and it was so.

8.

And God gave the arch the name of Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

9.

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.

10.

And God gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11.

And God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so.

14.

And God said, Let there be lights in the arch of heaven, for a division between the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for marking the changes of the year, and for days and for years:

15.

And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.

16.

And God made the two great lights: the greater light to be the ruler of the day, and the smaller light to be the ruler of the night: and he made the stars.

17.

And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;

18.

To have rule over the day and the night, and for a division between the light and the dark: and God saw that it was good.

19.

And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

20.

And God said, Let the waters be full of living things, and let birds be in flight over the earth under the arch of heaven.

21.

And God made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: and God saw that it was good.

22.

And God gave them his blessing, saying, Be fertile and have increase, making all the waters of the seas full, and let the birds be increased in the earth.

23.

And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

24.

And God said, Let the earth give birth to all sorts of living things, cattle and all things moving on the earth, and beasts of the earth after their sort: and it was so.

25.

And God made the beast of the earth after its sort, and the cattle after their sort, and everything moving on the face of the earth after its sort: and God saw that it was good.

26.

27.

And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them.

28.

And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.

29.

And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your food:

30.

And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.

31.

And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

1.

In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth --

2.

the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness is on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,

3.

and God saith, 'Let light be;' and light is.

4.

And God seeth the light that it is good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness,

5.

and God calleth to the light 'Day,' and to the darkness He hath called `Night;` and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day one.

6.

And God saith, 'Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.'

7.

And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which are under the expanse, and the waters which are above the expanse: and it is so.

8.

And God calleth to the expanse 'Heavens;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day second.

9.

And God saith, 'Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so.

10.

And God calleth to the dry land 'Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called 'Seas;' and God seeth that it is good.

11.

And God saith, 'Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed is in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so.

12.

And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed is in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that it is good;

13.

and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day third.

14.

And God saith, 'Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years,

15.

and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:' and it is so.

16.

And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary -- and the stars -- for the rule of the night;

17.

and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,

18.

and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that it is good;

19.

and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day fourth.

20.

And God saith, 'Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and fowl let fly on the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.'

21.

And God prepareth the great monsters, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every fowl with wing, after its kind, and God seeth that it is good.

22.

And God blesseth them, saying, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl let multiply in the earth:'

23.

and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day fifth.

24.

And God saith, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind:' and it is so.

25.

And God maketh the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God seeth that it is good.

26.

And God saith, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.'

27.

And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.

28.

And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.'

29.

And God saith, 'Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;

30.

and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which is breath of life, every green herb is for food:' and it is so.

31.

And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day the sixth.

1.

In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.

2.

And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.

3.

And God said: Be light made. And light was made.

4.

And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.

5.

And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.

6.

And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7.

And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.

8.

And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.

9.

God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done.

10.

And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

11.

And he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.

12.

And the earth brought forth the green herb, and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

13.

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14.

And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

15.

To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.

16.

And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars.

17.

And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth.

18.

And to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

19.

And the evening and morning were the fourth day.

20.

God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven.

21.

And God created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

22.

And he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth.

23.

And the evening and morning were the fifth day.

24.

And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.

25.

And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

26.

And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth.

27.

And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them.

28.

And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth.

29.

And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat:

30.

And to all the beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done.

31.

And God saw all the things that he had made, and they were very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth day.

1.

in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram

2.

terra autem erat inanis et vacua et tenebrae super faciem abyssi et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas

3.

dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est lux

4.

et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona et divisit lucem ac tenebras

5.

appellavitque lucem diem et tenebras noctem factumque est vespere et mane dies unus

6.

dixit quoque Deus fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum et dividat aquas ab aquis

7.

et fecit Deus firmamentum divisitque aquas quae erant sub firmamento ab his quae erant super firmamentum et factum est ita

8.

vocavitque Deus firmamentum caelum et factum est vespere et mane dies secundus

9.

dixit vero Deus congregentur aquae quae sub caelo sunt in locum unum et appareat arida factumque est ita

10.

et vocavit Deus aridam terram congregationesque aquarum appellavit maria et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

11.

et ait germinet terra herbam virentem et facientem semen et lignum pomiferum faciens fructum iuxta genus suum cuius semen in semet ipso sit super terram et factum est ita

12.

et protulit terra herbam virentem et adferentem semen iuxta genus suum lignumque faciens fructum et habens unumquodque sementem secundum speciem suam et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

13.

factumque est vespere et mane dies tertius

14.

dixit autem Deus fiant luminaria in firmamento caeli ut dividant diem ac noctem et sint in signa et tempora et dies et annos

15.

ut luceant in firmamento caeli et inluminent terram et factum est ita

16.

fecitque Deus duo magna luminaria luminare maius ut praeesset diei et luminare minus ut praeesset nocti et stellas

17.

et posuit eas in firmamento caeli ut lucerent super terram

18.

et praeessent diei ac nocti et dividerent lucem ac tenebras et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

19.

et factum est vespere et mane dies quartus

20.

dixit etiam Deus producant aquae reptile animae viventis et volatile super terram sub firmamento caeli

21.

creavitque Deus cete grandia et omnem animam viventem atque motabilem quam produxerant aquae in species suas et omne volatile secundum genus suum et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

22.

benedixitque eis dicens crescite et multiplicamini et replete aquas maris avesque multiplicentur super terram

23.

et factum est vespere et mane dies quintus

24.

dixit quoque Deus producat terra animam viventem in genere suo iumenta et reptilia et bestias terrae secundum species suas factumque est ita

25.

et fecit Deus bestias terrae iuxta species suas et iumenta et omne reptile terrae in genere suo et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

26.

et ait faciamus hominem ad imaginem et similitudinem nostram et praesit piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli et bestiis universaeque terrae omnique reptili quod movetur in terra

27.

et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem suam ad imaginem Dei creavit illum masculum et feminam creavit eos

28.

benedixitque illis Deus et ait crescite et multiplicamini et replete terram et subicite eam et dominamini piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli et universis animantibus quae moventur super terram

29.

dixitque Deus ecce dedi vobis omnem herbam adferentem semen super terram et universa ligna quae habent in semet ipsis sementem generis sui ut sint vobis in escam

30.

et cunctis animantibus terrae omnique volucri caeli et universis quae moventur in terra et in quibus est anima vivens ut habeant ad vescendum et factum est ita

31.

viditque Deus cuncta quae fecit et erant valde bona et factum est vespere et mane dies sextus
