“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
An 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.

“And God said, ‘Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.’ God called the expanse ‘sky.’ 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.’ God called the expanse ‘sky.’ And there was evening, and there was morning–the second day.
“And God said, ‘Let the water under the sky be gathere to one place, and let dry groun appear.’ And it was so, God called the dry ground ‘land’ and the gathered waters he called ‘seas’ And God saw that it was good.

“Then God said, ‘Let the land produc vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees i=on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.’ An it was so. An there was evening, and there was morning–the third day.

“And Go said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years,’  God made two great lights–the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth. And there was evening , and thre was morning–the fourth day.

“And God said, ‘Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.’ So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winge bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning–the fifth day.

“And God said, ‘Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.’ And it was so.

“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in out likeness, and let them rule over the fishe 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.’

So 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 earch 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 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 be doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work, And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.”
