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. |
4 | GEN 1:4 | God saw the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness. |
5 | GEN 1:5 | God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” This was evening and morning, the first day. |
6 | GEN 1:6 | God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” |
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. |
13 | GEN 1:13 | This was evening and morning, the third day. |
14 | GEN 1:14 | God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to divide the day from the night and let them be as signs, for seasons, for days and years. |
15 | GEN 1:15 | Let them be lights in the sky to give light upon the earth.” It was so. |
16 | GEN 1:16 | God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. |
17 | GEN 1:17 | God set them in the sky to give light upon the earth, |
18 | GEN 1:18 | to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. |
19 | GEN 1:19 | This was evening and morning, the fourth day. |
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. |
22 | GEN 1:22 | God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas. Let birds multiply on the earth.” |
23 | GEN 1:23 | This was evening and morning, the fifth day. |
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. |
28 | GEN 1:28 | God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply. Fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” |
31 | GEN 1:31 | God saw everything that he had made. Behold, it was very good. This was evening and morning, the sixth day. |
32 | GEN 2:1 | Then the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the living things that filled them. |
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. |
39 | GEN 2:8 | Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. |
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. |
43 | GEN 2:12 | The gold of that land is good. There are also bdellium and the onyx stone. |
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. |
46 | GEN 2:15 | Yahweh God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and to maintain it. |
47 | GEN 2:16 | Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree in the garden you may freely eat. |
48 | GEN 2:17 | But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not eat, for on the day that you eat from it, you will surely die.” |
49 | GEN 2:18 | Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper suitable for him.” |
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. |
53 | GEN 2:22 | With the rib that Yahweh God had taken from the man, he made a woman and brought her to the man. |
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. |
56 | GEN 2:25 | They were both naked, the man and his wife, but were not ashamed. |
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'?” |
