^aIn the beginning  ^bGod  ^ccreated the heavens and the earth.

The earth was  ^1 aformless and void, and  ^bdarkness was over the  ²surface of the deep, and  ^cthe Spirit of God  ^dwas  ³moving over the  ²surface of the waters.

Then  ^aGod said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

God saw that the light was  ^agood; and God  ^bseparated the light from the darkness.

 ^aGod called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And  ^bthere was evening and there was morning, one day.

Then God said, "Let there be  ¹an  ^aexpanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."

God made the  ¹expanse, and separated  ^athe waters which were below the  ¹expanse from the waters  ^bwhich were above the  ¹expanse; and it was so.

God called the  ¹expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

Then God said, " ^aLet the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let  ^bthe dry land appear"; and it was so.

God called the dry land earth, and the  ^agathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good.

Then God said, "Let the earth sprout  ^1 avegetation,  ²plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after  ³their kind  ⁴with seed in them"; and it was so.

The earth brought forth  ¹vegetation,  ²plants yielding seed after  ³their kind, and trees bearing fruit  ⁴with seed in them, after  ³their kind; and God saw that it was good.

There was evening and there was morning, a third day.

Then God said, "Let there be  ^1 alights in the  ^2 bexpanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for  ^csigns and for  ^dseasons and for days and years;

and let them be for  ¹lights in the  ²expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so.

God made the two  ¹great lights, the  ^agreater  ²light  ³to govern the day, and the lesser  ²light  ³to govern the night; He made  ^bthe stars also.

 ^aGod placed them in the  ¹expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,

and  ¹to  ^agovern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.

There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

Then God said, "Let the waters  ¹teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth  ²in the open  ³expanse of the heavens."

God created  ^athe great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

 ^aThen God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after  ¹their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after  ¹their kind"; and it was so.

God made the  ^abeasts of the earth after  ¹their kind, and the cattle after  ¹their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

Then God said, "Let  ^aUs make  ^bman in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them  ^crule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the  ¹sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

God created man  ^ain His own image, in the image of God He created him;  ^bmale and female He created them.

God blessed them; and God said to them, " ^aBe fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the  ¹sky and over every living thing that  ²moves on the earth."

Then God said, "Behold,  ^aI have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the  ¹surface of all the earth, and every tree  ²which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;

and  ^ato every beast of the earth and to every bird of the  ¹sky and to every thing that  ²moves on the earth  ³which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so.

God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very  ^agood. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
