1 | GEN 1:1 | In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. |
2 | GEN 1:2 | The earth was without form and empty. Darkness was upon the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving above the surface of the waters. |
5 | GEN 1:5 | God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” This was evening and morning, the first day. |
7 | GEN 1:7 | God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. It was so. |
8 | GEN 1:8 | God called the expanse “sky.” This was evening and morning, the second day. |
9 | GEN 1:9 | God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear.” It was so. |
10 | GEN 1:10 | God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” He saw that it was good. |
11 | GEN 1:11 | God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit whose seed is in the fruit, each according to its own kind.” It was so. |
12 | GEN 1:12 | The earth produced vegetation, plants producing seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit whose seed was in it, after their kind. God saw that it was good. |
20 | GEN 1:20 | God said, “Let the waters be filled with great numbers of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the expanse of the sky.” |
21 | GEN 1:21 | God created the great sea creatures, as well as every living creature after its kind, creatures that move and which fill the waters everywhere, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. |
24 | GEN 1:24 | God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures, each according to its own kind, livestock, creeping things, and beasts of the earth, each according to its own kind.” It was so. |
25 | GEN 1:25 | God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, the livestock after their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground after its kind. He saw that it was good. |
26 | GEN 1:26 | God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” |
27 | GEN 1:27 | God created man in his own image. In his own image he created him. Male and female he created them. |
29 | GEN 1:29 | God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the surface of all the earth, and every tree with fruit which has seed in it. They will be food to you. |
30 | GEN 1:30 | To every beast of the earth, to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, and to every creature that has the breath of life I have given every green plant for food.” It was so. |
33 | GEN 2:2 | On the seventh day God came to the end of his work which he had done, and so he rested on the seventh day from all his work. |
34 | GEN 2:3 | God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he rested from all his work which he had done in his creation. |
35 | GEN 2:4 | These were the events concerning the heavens and the earth, when they were created, on the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens. |
36 | GEN 2:5 | No bush of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground. |
37 | GEN 2:6 | But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. |
38 | GEN 2:7 | Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being. |
40 | GEN 2:9 | Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. This included the tree of life that was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. |
41 | GEN 2:10 | A river went out of Eden to water the garden. From there it divided and became four rivers. |
42 | GEN 2:11 | The name of the first is Pishon. It is the one which flows throughout the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. |
44 | GEN 2:13 | The name of the second river is Gihon. This one flows throughout the whole land of Cush. |
45 | GEN 2:14 | The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Ashur. The fourth river is the Euphrates. |
47 | GEN 2:16 | Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree in the garden you may freely eat. |
50 | GEN 2:19 | Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the sky. Then he brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. |
51 | GEN 2:20 | The man gave names to all the livestock, to all the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field. But for the man himself there was found no helper suitable for him. |
52 | GEN 2:21 | Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, so the man slept. Yahweh God took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh where he took the rib. |
54 | GEN 2:23 | The man said, “This time, this one is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken out of man.” |
55 | GEN 2:24 | Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, he will be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. |
57 | GEN 3:1 | Now the serpent was more shrewd than any other beast of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, 'You must not eat from any tree of the garden'?” |
59 | GEN 3:3 | but concerning the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God said, 'You may not eat it, nor may you touch it, or you will die.'” |
63 | GEN 3:7 | The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. |
64 | GEN 3:8 | They heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, so the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. |
65 | GEN 3:9 | Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” |
66 | GEN 3:10 | The man said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. So I hid myself.” |
67 | GEN 3:11 | God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” |
70 | GEN 3:14 | Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you alone among all the livestock and all the beasts of the field. It is on your stomach that you will go, and it is dust that you will eat all the days of your life. |
72 | GEN 3:16 | To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in having children; it is in pain that you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, but he will rule over you.” |
73 | GEN 3:17 | To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree, concerning which I commanded you, saying, 'You may not eat from it,' cursed is the ground because of you; through painful work you will eat from it all the days of your life. |
74 | GEN 3:18 | It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. |
75 | GEN 3:19 | By the sweat of your face you will eat bread, until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you will return.” |
76 | GEN 3:20 | The man called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all the living. |
77 | GEN 3:21 | Yahweh God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. |
78 | GEN 3:22 | Yahweh God said, “Now the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now he must not be allowed to reach out with his hand, take from the tree of life, eat it, and live forever.” |
79 | GEN 3:23 | Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. |
80 | GEN 3:24 | So God drove the man out of the garden, and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword that turned every way, in order to guard the way to the tree of life. |
81 | GEN 4:1 | The man slept with Eve his wife. She conceived and gave birth to Cain. She said, “I have produced a man with Yahweh's help.” |
82 | GEN 4:2 | Then she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel became a shepherd, but Cain cultivated the soil. |
83 | GEN 4:3 | It came about that in the course of time Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground as an offering to Yahweh. |
