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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
23 | GEN 1:23 | This was evening and morning, the fifth day. |
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.” |
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.” |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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.” |
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. |
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. |
61 | GEN 3:5 | For God knows that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” |
62 | GEN 3:6 | When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. Then she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. |
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. |
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?” |
68 | GEN 3:12 | The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” |
69 | GEN 3:13 | Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent lied to me, and I ate.” |
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. |
76 | GEN 3:20 | The man called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all the living. |
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.” |
