n the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2The earth was formless and


empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering
over the surface of the waters.
3Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4And God saw that the
light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the
light “day” and the darkness “night.”
And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.
6Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of
the heavens from the waters of the earth.” 7And that is what happened. God made
this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. 8God
called the space “sky.”
And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day.
9Then God said, “Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so
dry ground may appear.” And that is what happened. 10God called the dry ground
“land” and the waters “seas.” And God saw that it was good. 11Then God said, “Let
the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that
grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and
trees from which they came.” And that is what happened. 12The land produced
vegetation—all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit.
Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was
good.
13And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day.
14Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night.
Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days, and years. 15Let these lights in the
sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what happened. 16God made two great
lights—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night.
He also made the stars. 17God set these lights in the sky to light the earth, 18to
govern the day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw
that it was good.
19And evening passed and morning came, marking the fourth day.
20Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be
filled with birds of every kind.” 21So God created great sea creatures and every
living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—each
producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. 22Then God
blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and
let the birds multiply on the earth.”
23And evening passed and morning came, marking the fifth day.
24Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing
offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground,
and wild animals.” And that is what happened. 25God made all sorts of wild animals,
livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And
God saw that it was good.
26Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will
reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild
animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
27So God created human beings in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and
govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the
animals that scurry along the ground.”
29Then God said, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the
earth and all the fruit trees for your food. 30And I have given every green plant
as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that
scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened.
31Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!
And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.
