KJVIn the beginning^H7225 God^H430 created^H1254^(H8804)^H853 the heaven^H8064 and^H853 the earth^H776.

² And the earth was without forme and voide, and darkenesse was vpon the deepe, and the Spirit of God moued vpon ye waters.

KJVAnd the earth^H776 was^H1961^(H8804) without form^H8414, and void^H922; and darkness^H2822 was upon the face^H6440 of the deep^H8415. And the Spirit^H7307 of God^H430 moved^H7363^(H8764) upon^H5921 the face^H6440 of the waters^H4325.

³ Then God saide, Let there be light: And there was light.

KJVAnd God^H430 said^H559^(H8799), Let there be^H1961^(H8799) light^H216: and there was light^H216.

⁴ And God sawe the light that it was good, and God separated the light from the darkenes.

KJVAnd God^H430 saw^H7200^(H8799)^H853 the light^H216, that^H3588 it was good^H2896: and God^H430 divided^H914^(H8686)^H996 the light^H216 from^H996 the darkness^H2822.

⁵ And God called the light, Day, and the darkenes, he called Night. So the euening and the morning were the first day.

KJVAnd God^H430 called^H7121^(H8799) the light^H216 Day^H3117, and the darkness^H2822 he called^H7121^(H8804) Night^H3915. And the evening^H6153 and the morning^H1242 were the first^H259 day^H3117.

⁶ Againe God saide, Let there be a firmament in the middes of the waters: and let it separate the waters from the waters.

KJVAnd God^H430 said^H559^(H8799), Let there be a firmament^H7549 in the midst^H8432 of the waters^H4325, and let it divide^H914^(H8688) the waters^H4325 from the waters^H4325.

⁷ Then God made the firmament, and separated the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters which were aboue the firmament; it was so.

KJVAnd God^H430 made^H6213^(H8799) the firmament^H7549, and divided^H914^(H8686) the waters^H4325 which^H834 were under^H8478 the firmament^H7549 from the waters^H4325 which^H834 were above^H5921 the firmament^H7549: and it was so^H3651.

⁸ And God called the firmament Heauen. So the Euening and the morning were the seconde day.

KJVAnd God^H430 called^H7121^(H8799) the firmament^H7549 Heaven^H8064. And the evening^H6153 and the morning^H1242 were the second^H8145 day^H3117.

⁹ God saide againe, Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appeare; it was so.

KJVAnd God^H430 said^H559^(H8799), Let the waters^H4325 under the heaven^H8064 be gathered together^H6960^(H8735) unto^H413 one^H259 place^H4725, and let the dry^H3004 land appear^H7200^(H8735): and it was so.

¹⁰ And God called the dry land, Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters, Seas: and God sawe that it was good.

KJVAnd God^H430 called^H7121^(H8799) the dry^H3004 land Earth^H776; and the gathering together^H4723 of the waters^H4325 called^H7121^(H8804) he Seas^H3220: and God^H430 saw^H7200^(H8799) that it was good^H2896.

¹¹ Then God said, Let the earth bud foorth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seede, the fruitfull tree, which beareth fruite according to his kinde, which hath his seede in it selfe vpon the earth; it was so.

KJVAnd God^H430 said^H559^(H8799), Let the earth^H776 bring forth^H1876^(H8686) grass^H1877, the herb^H6212 yielding^H2232^(H8688) seed^H2233, and the fruit^H6529 tree^H6086 yielding^H6213^(H8802) fruit^H6529 after his kind^H4327, whose^H834 seed^H2233 is in itself, upon the earth^H776: and it was so.

¹² And the earth brought foorth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seede according to his kind, also the tree that beareth fruite, which hath his seede in it selfe according to his kinde: and God sawe that it was good.

KJVAnd the earth^H776 brought forth^H3318^(H8686) grass^H1877, and herb^H6212 yielding^H2232^(H8688) seed^H2233 after his kind^H4327, and the tree^H6086 yielding^H6213^(H8802) fruit^H6529, whose seed^H2233 was in itself, after his kind^H4327: and God^H430 saw^H7200^(H8799) that it was good^H2896.

¹³ So the euening and the morning were the third day.

KJVAnd the evening^H6153 and the morning^H1242 were the third^H7992 day^H3117.

¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lightes in the firmament of the heauen, to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signes, and for seasons, and for dayes and yeeres.

KJVAnd God^H430 said^H559^(H8799), Let there be lights^H3974 in the firmament^H7549 of the heaven^H8064 to divide^H914^(H8687) the day^H3117 from the night^H3915; and let them be for signs^H226, and for seasons^H4150, and for days^H3117, and years^H8141:

¹⁵ And let them be for lightes in the firmament of the heauen to giue light vpon the earth; it was so.

KJVAnd let them be for lights^H3974 in the firmament^H7549 of the heaven^H8064 to give light^H215^(H8687) upon the earth^H776: and it was so.

¹⁶ God then made two great lightes: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesse light to rule the night: he made also the starres.

KJVAnd God^H430 made^H6213^(H8799) two^H8147 great^H1419 lights^H3974; the greater^H1419 light^H3974 to rule^H4475 the day^H3117, and the lesser^H6996 light^H3974 to rule^H4475 the night^H3915: he made the stars^H3556 also.

¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to shine vpon the earth,

KJVAnd God^H430 set^H5414^(H8799) them in the firmament^H7549 of the heaven^H8064 to give light^H215^(H8687) upon the earth^H776,

¹⁸ And to rule in the day, and in the night, and to separate the light from the darkenes: and God sawe that it was good.

KJVAnd to rule^H4910^(H8800) over the day^H3117 and over the night^H3915, and to divide^H914^(H8687) the light^H216 from the darkness^H2822: and God^H430 saw^H7200^(H8799) that it was good^H2896.

¹⁹ So the euening and the morning were the fourth day.

KJVAnd the evening^H6153 and the morning^H1242 were the fourth^H7243 day^H3117.

²⁰ Afterward God said, Let the waters bring foorth in abundance euery creeping thing that hath life: and let the foule flie vpon the earth in the open firmament of the heauen.

KJVAnd God^H430 said^H559^(H8799), Let the waters^H4325 bring forth abundantly^H8317^(H8799) the moving creature^H8318 that hath^H5315 life^H2416, and fowl^H5775 that may fly^H5774^(H8787) above^H5921 the earth^H776 in the open^H6440 firmament^H7549 of heaven^H8064.

²¹ Then God created the great whales, and euery thing liuing and mouing, which the waters brought foorth in abundance according to their kinde, and euery fethered foule according to his kinde: and God sawe that it was good.

KJVAnd God^H430 created^H1254^(H8799) great^H1419 whales^H8577, and every living^H2416 creature^H5315 that moveth^H7430^(H8802), which the waters^H4325 brought forth abundantly^H8317^(H8804), after their kind^H4327, and every winged^H3671 fowl^H5775 after his kind^H4327: and God^H430 saw^H7200^(H8799) that it was good^H2896.

²² Then God blessed them, saying, Bring foorth fruite and multiplie, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the foule multiplie in the earth.

KJVAnd God^H430 blessed^H1288^(H8762) them, saying^H559^(H8800), Be fruitful^H6509^(H8798), and multiply^H7235^(H8798), and fill^H4390^(H8798) the waters^H4325 in the seas^H3220, and let fowl^H5775 multiply^H7235^(H8799) in the earth^H776.

²³ So the euening and the morning were the fift day.

KJVAnd the evening^H6153 and the morning^H1242 were the fifth^H2549 day^H3117.

²⁴ Moreouer God said, Let the earth bring foorth the liuing thing according to his kinde, cattell, and that which creepeth, and the beast of the earth, according to his kinde; it was so.

KJVAnd God^H430 said^H559^(H8799), Let the earth^H776 bring forth^H3318^(H8686) the living^H2416 creature^H5315 after his kind^H4327, cattle^H929, and creeping thing^H7431, and beast^H2416 of the earth^H776 after his kind^H4327: and it was so.

²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth according to his kinde, and the cattell according to his kinde, & euery creeping thing of the earth according to his kind: & God saw that it was good.

KJVAnd God^H430 made^H6213^(H8799) the beast^H2416 of the earth^H776 after his kind^H4327, and cattle^H929 after their kind^H4327, and every thing that creepeth^H7431 upon the earth^H127 after his kind^H4327: and God^H430 saw^H7200^(H8799) that it was good^H2896.

²⁶ Furthermore God said, Let vs make man in our image according to our likenes, and let them rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer the beastes, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery thing that creepeth and moueth on the earth.

KJVAnd God^H430 said^H559^(H8799), Let us make^H6213^(H8799) man^H120 in our image^H6754, after our likeness^H1823: and let them have dominion^H7287^(H8799) over the fish^H1710 of the sea^H3220, and over the fowl^H5775 of the air^H8064, and over the cattle^H929, and over all the earth^H776, and over every creeping thing^H7431 that creepeth^H7430^(H8802) upon the earth^H776.

²⁷ Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female.

KJVSo God^H430 created^H1254^(H8799) man^H120 in his own image^H6754, in the image^H6754 of God^H430 created^H1254^(H8804) he him; male^H2145 and female^H5347 created^H1254^(H8804) he them.

²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said to them, Bring forth fruite and multiplie, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, & ouer euery beast that moueth vpon the earth.

KJVAnd God^H430 blessed^H1288^(H8762) them, and God^H430 said^H559^(H8799) unto them, Be fruitful^H6509^(H8798), and multiply^H7235^(H8798), and replenish^H4390^(H8798) the earth^H776, and subdue it^H3533^(H8798): and have dominion^H7287^(H8798) over the fish^H1710 of the sea^H3220, and over the fowl^H5775 of the air^H8064, and over every living thing^H2416 that moveth^H7430^(H8802) upon the earth^H776.

²⁹ And God said, Beholde, I haue giuen vnto you euery herbe bearing seede, which is vpon al the earth, and euery tree, wherein is the fruite of a tree bearing seede: that shall be to you for meate.

KJVAnd God^H430 said^H559^(H8799), Behold^H2009, I have given^H5414^(H8804) you every herb^H6212 bearing^H2232^(H8802) seed^H2233, which is upon the face^H6440 of all the earth^H776, and every tree^H6086, in the which is the fruit^H6529 of a tree^H6086 yielding^H2232^(H8802) seed^H2233; to you it shall be^H1961^(H8799) for meat^H402.

³⁰ Likewise to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the heauen, and to euery thing that moueth vpon the earth, which hath life in it selfe, euery greene herbe shall be for meate; it was so.

KJVAnd to every beast^H2416 of the earth^H776, and to every fowl^H5775 of the air^H8064, and to every thing that creepeth^H7430^(H8802) upon the earth^H776, wherein there is life^H2416^H5315, I have given every green^H3418 herb^H6212 for meat^H402: and it was so.

³¹ And God sawe all that he had made, and loe, it was very good. So the euening and the morning were the sixt day.

KJVAnd God^H430 saw^H7200^(H8799) every thing that^H834 he had made^H6213^(H8804), and, behold, it was very^H3966 good^H2896. And the evening^H6153 and the morning^H1242 were the sixth^H8345 day^H3117.
