¶ In the beginning YAHUAH created the heavens and the earth.
2 And the earth became without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of YAHUAH moved upon the face of the
waters.
3 ¶ And YAHUAH said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And YAHUAH saw the light, that [it was] good: and YAHUAH divided the light
from the darkness.
5 And YAHUAH called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the
evening and the morning were the first day.
6 ¶ And YAHUAH said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were
the second day.
9 ¶ And YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together of the
waters called he Seas: and YAHUAH saw that [it was] good.
11 And YAHUAH 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
YAHUAH saw that [it was] good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 ¶ And YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH saw that [it was] good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 ¶ And YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH saw that [it was] good.
22 And YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH
saw that [it was] good.
26 ¶ And YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH created man in his [own] image, in the image of Himself created he
him; male and female created he them.
28 And YAHUAH blessed them, and YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH 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.
31 ¶ And YAHUAH saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very
good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
