¹ And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. ² And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. ³ And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made. ⁴ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that LORD God made earth and heaven. ⁵ And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up, for LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth. And there was not a man to till the ground, ⁶ but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. ⁷ And LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. ⁸ And LORD God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. ⁹ And out of the ground LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, also the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. ¹⁰ And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it was divided, and became four heads. ¹¹ The name of the first is Pishon. That is it which encompasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. ¹² And the gold of that land is good. There is bdellium and the onyx stone. ¹³ And the name of the second river is Gihon. The same is it which encompasses the whole land of Cush. ¹⁴ And the name of the third river is Hiddekel [Tigris]. That is it which goes in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. ¹⁵ And LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. ¹⁶ And LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou may freely eat, ¹⁷ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat of it. For in the day that thou eat of it thou shall surely die. ¹⁸ And LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, I will make a help meet for him. ¹⁹ And out of the ground LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and whatever the man called every living creature, that was the name of it. ²⁰ And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field, but for man there was not found a help meet for him. ²¹ And LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept. And [God] took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in place of it. ²² And the rib, which LORD God had taken from the man, he made a woman, and brought her to the man. ²³ And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. ²⁴ Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his wife, and {the two (LXX/NT)} shall be one flesh. ²⁵ And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image--after our likeness--and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that ²⁷ And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them. ²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upo

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. ³ And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. ⁶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. ⁷ And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. ⁸ And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. ⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear. And it was so. ¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters Seas. And God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, [and] fruit trees bearing fruit according to their kind (in which is the seed of them) upon the earth. And it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed according to their kind, and trees bearing fruit in which is the seed of it, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good. ¹³ And there was evening and there was morning, a third day. ¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years. ¹⁵ And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth. And it was so. ¹⁶ And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, also the stars. ¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth, ¹⁸ and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. ²⁰ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. ²¹ And God created the great sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. ²³ And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. ²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kind. And it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind, and the cattle according to their kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image--after our likeness--and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that ²⁷ And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them. ²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upo ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you it shall be for food, ³⁰ and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth in which there is life, for food--every green herb. And it was so. ³¹ And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

¹ The earth is LORD's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell therein.

¹⁴ I will give thanks to thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are thy works, and that my soul knows right well.

⁹ But as it is written, What an eye has not seen, and an ear has not heard, and have not arisen in a heart of a man, are things that God prepared for those who love him.

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

² He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. ³ He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

⁷ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee. ⁸ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee, and the fishes of the sea shall declare to thee. ⁹ Who does not know in all these, that the hand of LORD has wrought this,

²⁶ Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their host by number. He calls them all by name, by the greatness of his might. And because he is strong in power, not one is lacking.

¹ Bless LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou are very great. Thou are clothed with honor and majesty, ² who covers thyself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, ³ who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind, ⁴ who makes his [heavenly] agents spirits, his ministers a flame of fire, ⁵ who laid the foundations of the earth that it should not be moved forever. ⁶ Thou covered it with the deep as with a vesture. The waters stood above the mountains. ⁷ At thy rebuke they fled. At the voice of thy thunder they hastened away. ⁸ The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which thou had founded for them. ⁹ Thou have set a bound that they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth. ¹⁰ He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains. ¹¹ They give drink to every beast of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst. ¹² By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation. They sing among the branches. ¹³ He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works. ¹⁴ He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbage for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth, ¹⁵ and wine that makes glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart. ¹⁶ The trees of LORD are full, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted, ¹⁷ where the birds make their nests. As for the stork, the fir trees are her house. ¹⁸ The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the conies. ¹⁹ He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows his going down. ²⁰ Thou make darkness, and it is night, during which all the beasts of the forest creep forth. ²¹ The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. ²² The sun arises; they get away, and lay down in their dens. ²³ Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening. ²⁴ O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom have thou made them all. The earth is full of thy riches. ²⁵ Yonder is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts. ²⁶ There go the ships. There is leviathan, whom thou have formed to play in it. ²⁷ These all wait for thee, that thou may give them their food in due season. ²⁸ Thou give to them, they gather. Thou open thy hand, they are satisfied with good. ²⁹ Thou hide thy face, they are troubled. Thou take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. ³⁰ Thou send forth thy Spirit, they are created, and thou renew the face of the ground. ³¹ Let the glory of LORD endure forever. Let LORD rejoice in his works, ³² who looks on the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. ³³ I will sing to LORD as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. ³⁴ Let thy meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in LORD. ³⁵ Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless LORD, O my soul. Praise ye LORD.

⁵ He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of LORD.

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows his handiwork.
