Old Testament
The First Book of Moses, called
Genesis
CHAPTER 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
