The Creation
(John 1:1–5; Hebrews 11:1–3)

1In the beginning God formed the heavens and the earth. 2And the earth was desolation and emptiness, and darkness over the face of the deep: and the spirit of God moved over the face of the waters.

The First Day

3And God will say there shall be light, and there shall be light. 4And God will see the light that it is good, and God will separate between the light and between the darkness. 5And God will call to the light day, and to the darkness he called night: and the evening shall be, and the morning shall be one day.

The Second Day

6And God will say there shall be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and there shall be a separating between waters to waters. 7And God shall make a firmament, and he shall separate between the waters which are from the lower part of the firmament and between the waters which are from the upper part of the firmament: and it shall be so. 8And God will call to the firmament the heavens: and the evening shall be, and the morning shall be the second day.

The Third Day

9And God will say the waters shall be gathered together from the under part of the heavens to one place, and the dry shall be seen: and it shall be so. 10And God will call to the dry, earth; and to the gathering of the waters he called seas: and God will see that it is good. 11And God will say the earth shall bring forth the tender grass, and the green herb bearing seed, and the fruit tree making fruit according to its kind, in which is the seed in it upon the earth: and it shall be so. 12And the earth shall bring forth the tender grass, the green herb bearing seed according to its kind, and the tree making fruit in which the seed is in it, according to its kind: and God will see that it is good. 13And the evening shall be, and the morning shall be the third day.

The Fourth Day

14And God will say there shall be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate between the day and between the night: and they shall be for signs and for set times, and for days and for years. 15And they shall be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth: and it shall be so. 16And God will make two great lights; the great light for the rule of the day, and the small light for the rule of the night and the stars. 17And God will give them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth. 18And to rule in the day and in the night, and to separate between the light and between the darkness: And God will see that it is good. 19And the evening shall be, and the morning shall be the fourth day.

The Fifth Day

20And God will say the waters shall breed abundantly creeping things, the living soul, and birds shall fly over the earth, over the face of the firmament of the heavens. 21And God will form great sea monsters and every living soul creeping, which the waters bred abundantly according to their kind, and every bird of wing according to its kind: and God will see that it is good. 22And God will praise them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and birds shall multiply in the earth. 23And the evening shall be, and the morning shall be the fifth day.

The Sixth Day

24And God will say, the earth shall bring forth the living soul according to its kind, cattle and creeping things, and living things of the earth after its kind: and it shall be so. 25And God will make the living thing of the earth according to its kind, and cattle according to its kind, and every creeping thing of the earth according to its kind: and God will see that it is.

26And God will say, We will make man in our image according to our likeness, and they shall rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and every creeping thing creeping upon the earth. 27And God will form man in his image, in the image of God he formed him; male and female he formed them. 28And God will praise them, and God will say to them, be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing creeping upon the earth. 29And God will say, Lo, I gave to you every green herb scattering seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree scattering seed; to you it shall be for food. 30And to every living thing of the earth, and to all the birds of the heavens and to every thing creeping upon the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food: and it shall be so. 31And God will see every thing which he made: and lo, very good and the evening shall be, and the morning shall be the sixth day.
