The Creation of the World
Genesis
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
In the beginning of creation, when God made heaven and earth, the
earth was without form and void, with darkness over the face of the abyss,
and a mighty wind that swept over the surface of the waters. God said, 'Let
there be light', and there was light; and God saw that the light was good,
and he separated light from darkness. He called the light day, and the
darkness night. So evening came, and morning came, the first day.
God said, 'Let there be a vault between the waters, to separate water
fromwater. 'So God made the vault, and separated the water under the
vault from the water above it, and so it was; and God called the vault
heaven. Evening came, and morning came, a second day.
God said, 'Let the waters under heaven be gathered into one place, so
that dry land may appear'; and so it was. God called the dry land earth,
and the gathering of the waters he called seas; and God saw that it was good.
Then God said, 'Let the earth produce fresh growth, let there be on the
earth plants bearing seed, fruit-trees bearing fruit each with seed according
to its kind. 'So it was; the earth yielded fresh growth, plants bearing
seed according to their kind and trees bearing fruit each with seed according
to its king; and God saw that it was good. Evening came, and morning came, a
third day.
God said, 'Let there be lights in the vault of heaven to separate day
from night, and let them serve as signs both for festivals and for seasons
and years. Let them also shine in the vault of heaven to give light on earth.
'So it was ; God made the two great lights, the greater to govern the day
and the lesser to govern the night; and with them he made the stars. God
put these lights in the vault of heaven to give light on earth, to govern day
and night, and to separate light from darkness; and God saw that it was good.
Evening came, and morning came, a fourth day.
God, said, 'Let the waters teem with countless living creatures, and
let birds fly above the earth across the vault of heaven. 'god then created
the great sea-monsters and all living creatures that move and swarm in the
waters, according to their kind, and every kind of bird; and God saw that it
was good. So he blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and increase, fill the
waters of the seas; and let the birds increase on land. 'Evening came, and
morning came, a fifth day.
God said, 'Let the earth bring forth living creatures, according to
their kind:cattle, reptiles, and wild animals, all according to their kind. '
So it was; God made wild animals, cattle, and all reptiles, each according to
its kind; and he saw that it was good. Then God said, 'Let us make man
it ourimage and likeness to rule the fish in the sea , the birds of heaven,
the cattle, all wild animals on earth, and all reptiles that crawl upon the
earth. '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, fill the earth and subdue it, rule over the fish
in the sea, the birds of heaven, and every living thing that moves upon the
earth.'god also said, 'I give you all plants that bear seed everywhere on
earth, and every tree bearing fruit which yields seed:they shall be yours
for food. All green plants I give for food to the wild animals, to all the
birds of heaven, and to all reptiles on earth, every living creature. 'So it
was; and God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. Evening came,
and morning came, a sixth day.
Thus heaven and earth were completed with al their mighty throng. On the
sixth day God completed all the work he had been doing, and on the
seventh day he ceased from al his work. God blessed the seventh day and made
it holy, because on that day he ceased from all the work he had set himself to
do.
This is the story of the making of heaven and earth when they were created.
