Genesis 1
1In the beginning, when God created the universe,H7225H430H1254H853H8064H853H7762the 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.H776H1961H8414H922H2822H6440H8415H7307H430H7363H5921H6440H43253Then God commanded, "Let there be light" - and light appeared.H430H559H1961H216H2164God was pleased with what he saw. Then he separated the light from the darkness,H430H7200H853H216H3588H2896H430H914H996H216H996H28225and he named the light "Day" and the darkness "Night." Evening passed and morning came - that was the first day.H430H7121H216H3117H2822H7121H3915H6153H1242H259H31176Then God commanded, "Let there be a dome to divide the water and to keep it in two separate places" -H430H559H7549H8432H4325H914H4325H43257and it was done. So God made a dome, and it separated the water under it from the water above it.H430H6213H7549H914H4325H834H8478H7549H4325H834H5921H7549H36518He named the dome "Sky." Evening passed and morning came - that was the second day.H430H7121H7549H8064H6153H1242H8145H31179Then God commanded, "Let the water below the sky come together in one place, so that the land will appear" - and it was done.H430H559H4325H8064H6960H413H259H4725H3004H720010He named the land "Earth," and the water which had come together he named "Sea." And God was pleased with what he saw.H430H7121H3004H776H4723H4325H7121H3220H430H7200H289611Then he commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds of plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit" - and it was done.H430H559H776H1876H1877H6212H2232H2233H6529H6086H6213H6529H4327H834H2233H77612So the earth produced all kinds of plants, and God was pleased with what he saw.H776H3318H1877H6212H2232H2233H4327H6086H6213H6529H2233H4327H430H7200H289613Evening passed and morning came - that was the third day.H6153H1242H7992H311714Then 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;H430H559H3974H7549H8064H914H3117H3915H226H4150H3117H814115they will shine in the sky to give light to the earth" - and it was done.H3974H7549H8064H215H77616So 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.H430H6213H8147H1419H3974H1419H3974H4475H3117H6996H3974H4475H3915H355617He placed the lights in the sky to shine on the earth,H430H5414H7549H8064H215H77618to rule over the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God was pleased with what he saw.H4910H3117H3915H914H216H2822H430H7200H289619Evening passed and morning came - that was the fourth day.H6153H1242H7243H311720Then God commanded, "Let the water be filled with many kinds of living beings, and let the air be filled with birds."H430H559H4325H8317H8318H2416H5315H5775H5774H5921H776H6440H7549H806421So 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.H430H1254H1419H8577H2416H5315H7430H4325H8317H4327H3671H5775H4327H430H7200H289622He 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.H430H1288H559H6509H7235H4390H4325H3220H5775H7235H77623Evening passed and morning came - that was the fifth day.H6153H1242H2549H311724Then God commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds of animal life: domestic and wild, large and small" - and it was done.H430H559H776H3318H2416H5315H4327H929H7431H2416H776H432725So God made them all, and he was pleased with what he saw.H430H6213H2416H776H4327H929H4327H7431H127H4327H430H7200H289626Then 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."H430H559H6213H120H6754H1823H7287H1710H3220H5775H8064H929H776H7431H7430H77627So God created human beings, making them to be like himself. He created them male and female,H430H1254H120H6754H6754H430H1254H2145H5347H125428blessed 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.H430H1288H430H559H6509H7235H4390H776H3533H7287H1710H3220H5775H8064H2416H7430H77629I have provided all kinds of grain and all kinds of fruit for you to eat;H430H559H2009H5414H6212H2232H2233H6440H776H6086H6529H6086H2232H2233H1961H40230but for all the wild animals and for all the birds I have provided grass and leafy plants for food" - and it was done.H2416H776H5775H8064H7430H776H2416H5315H3418H6212H40231God looked at everything he had made, and he was very pleased. Evening passed and morning came - that was the sixth day.H430H7200H834H6213H3966H2896H6153H1242H8345H3117
