The Story of Creation

1In the beginning, when God created the universe,H7225H430H1254H853H8064H853H776 2the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water.H776H1961H8414H922H2822H6440H8415H7307H430H7363H5921H6440H4325 3Then God commanded, "Let there be light" - and light appeared.H430H559H1961H216H216 4God was pleased with what he saw. Then he separated the light from the darkness,H430H7200H853H216H3588H2896H430H914H996H216H996H2822 5and he named the light "Day" and the darkness "Night." Evening passed and morning came - that was the first day.H430H7121H216H3117H2822H7121H3915H6153H1242H259H3117 6Then God commanded, "Let there be a dome to divide the water and to keep it in two separate places" -H430H559H7549H8432H4325H914H4325H4325 7and it was done. So God made a dome, and it separated the water under it from the water above it.H430H6213H7549H914H4325H834H8478H7549H4325H834H5921H7549H3651 8He named the dome "Sky." Evening passed and morning came - that was the second day.H430H7121H7549H8064H6153H1242H8145H3117 9Then God commanded, "Let the water below the sky come together in one place, so that the land will appear" - and it was done.H430H559H4325H8064H6960H413H259H4725H3004H7200 10He named the land "Earth," and the water which had come together he named "Sea." And God was pleased with what he saw.H430H7121H3004H776H4723H4325H7121H3220H430H7200H2896 11Then he commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds of plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit" - and it was done.H430H559H776H1876H1877H6212H2232H2233H6529H6086H6213H6529H4327H834H2233H776 12So the earth produced all kinds of plants, and God was pleased with what he saw.H776H3318H1877H6212H2232H2233H4327H6086H6213H6529H2233H4327H430H7200H2896 13Evening passed and morning came - that was the third day.H6153H1242H7992H3117 14Then God commanded, "Let lights appear in the sky to separate day from night and to show the time when days, years, and religious festivals begin;H430H559H3974H7549H8064H914H3117H3915H226H4150H3117H8141 15they will shine in the sky to give light to the earth" - and it was done.H3974H7549H8064H215H776 16So God made the two larger lights, the sun to rule over the day and the moon to rule over the night; he also made the stars.H430H6213H8147H1419H3974H1419H3974H4475H3117H6996H3974H4475H3915H3556 17He placed the lights in the sky to shine on the earth,H430H5414H7549H8064H215H776 18to rule over the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God was pleased with what he saw.H4910H3117H3915H914H216H2822H430H7200H2896 19Evening passed and morning came - that was the fourth day.H6153H1242H7243H3117 20Then God commanded, "Let the water be filled with many kinds of living beings, and let the air be filled with birds."H430H559H4325H8317H8318H2416H5315H5775H5774H5921H776H6440H7549H8064 21So God created the great sea monsters, all kinds of creatures that live in the water, and all kinds of birds. And God was pleased with what he saw.H430H1254H1419H8577H2416H5315H7430H4325H8317H4327H3671H5775H4327H430H7200H2896 22He blessed them all and told the creatures that live in the water to reproduce and to fill the sea, and he told the birds to increase in number.H430H1288H559H6509H7235H4390H4325H3220H5775H7235H776 23Evening passed and morning came - that was the fifth day.H6153H1242H2549H3117 24Then God commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds of animal life: domestic and wild, large and small" - and it was done.H430H559H776H3318H2416H5315H4327H929H7431H2416H776H4327 25So God made them all, and he was pleased with what he saw.H430H6213H2416H776H4327H929H4327H7431H127H4327H430H7200H2896 26Then God said, "And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish, the birds, and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small."H430H559H6213H120H6754H1823H7287H1710H3220H5775H8064H929H776H7431H7430H776 27So God created human beings, making them to be like himself. He created them male and female,H430H1254H120H6754H6754H430H1254H2145H5347H1254 28blessed them, and said, "Have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth and bring it under their control. I am putting you in charge of the fish, the birds, and all the wild animals.H430H1288H430H559H6509H7235H4390H776H3533H7287H1710H3220H5775H8064H2416H7430H776 29I have provided all kinds of grain and all kinds of fruit for you to eat;H430H559H2009H5414H6212H2232H2233H6440H776H6086H6529H6086H2232H2233H1961H402 30but for all the wild animals and for all the birds I have provided grass and leafy plants for food" - and it was done.H2416H776H5775H8064H7430H776H2416H5315H3418H6212H402 31God looked at everything he had made, and he was very pleased. Evening passed and morning came - that was the sixth day.H430H7200H834H6213H3966H2896H6153H1242H8345H3117
