¹IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

²And 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.

³And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

⁴And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

⁵And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first 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.

⁷And 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.

⁸And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

⁹¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

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

¹¹And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

¹⁵And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

¹⁶And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

¹⁷And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

¹⁸And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

¹⁹And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

²⁰And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

²¹And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

²²And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

²³And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

²⁴¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

²⁸And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

²⁹¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

³⁰And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

³¹And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

¹¶ In ^*the beginning God created the Heauen, and the Earth.

²And the earth was without forme, and voyd, and darkenesse was vpon the face of the deepe: and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the face of the waters.

³And God said, ^*Let there be light: and there was light.

⁴And God saw the light, that it was good: and God diuided the ^†light from the darkenesse.

⁵And God called the light, Day, and the darknesse he called Night: ^†and the euening and the morning were the first day.

⁶¶ And God said, ^*Let there be a ^†firmament in the midst of the waters: and let it diuide the waters from the waters.

⁸And God called the ^*firmament, Heauen: and the euening and the morning were the second day.

⁹¶ And God said, ^*Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered together vnto one place, and let the dry land appeare: and it was so.

¹⁰And God called the drie land, Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called hee, Seas: and God saw that it was good.

¹¹And God said, Let the Earth bring foorth ^†grasse, the herbe yeelding seed, and the fruit tree, yeelding fruit after his kinde, whose seed is in it selfe, vpon the earth: and it was so.

¹²And the earth brought foorth grasse, and herbe yeelding seed after his kinde, and the tree yeelding fruit, whose seed was in it selfe, after his kinde: and God saw that it was good.

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

¹⁴¶ And God said, Let there bee ^*lights in the firmament of the heauen, to diuide ^†the day from the night: and let them be for signes and for seasons, and for dayes and yeeres.

¹⁵And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heauen, to giue light vpon the earth: and it was so.

¹⁶And God made two great lights: the greater light ^†to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the starres also.

¹⁷And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to giue light vpon the earth:

¹⁸And to ^*rule ouer the day, and ouer the night, and to diuide the light from the darkenesse: and God saw that it was good.

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

²⁰And God said, ^*Let the waters bring foorth aboundantly the ^‖mouing creature that hath ^†life, and foule that may flie aboue the earth in the ^†open firmament of heauen.

²¹And God created great whales, and euery liuing creature that moueth, which the waters brought forth aboundantly after their kinde, and euery winged foule after his kinde: and God saw that it was good.

²²And God blessed them, saying, ^*Be fruitfull, and multiply, and fill the waters in the Seas, and let foule multiply in the earth.

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

²⁴¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the liuing creature after his kinde, cattell, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kinde: and it was so.

²⁵And God made the beast of the earth after his kinde, and cattell after their kinde, and euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth, after his kinde: and God saw that it was good.

²⁶¶ And God said, ^*Let vs make man in our Image, after our likenesse: and let them haue dominion ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer the cattell, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth.

²⁷So God created man in his owne Image, in the Image of God created hee him; ^*male and female created hee them.

²⁸And God blessed them, and God said vnto them, ^*Be fruitfull, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and haue dominion ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer euery liuing thing that ^†mooueth vpon the earth.

²⁹¶ And God said, Behold, I haue giuen you euery herbe ^†bearing seede, which is vpon the face of all the earth, and euery tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yeelding seed, ^*to you it shall be for meat:

³⁰And to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the aire, and to euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth, wherein there is ^†life, I haue giuen euery greene herbe for meat: and it was so.

³¹And ^*God saw euery thing that hee had made: and behold, it was very good. And the euening and the morning were the sixth day.

²²It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

^22‖* It is he that sitteth vpon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grashoppers; that stretcheth out the heauens as a curtaine, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwel in:

⁹Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

⁹Thou hast set a bound that they may not passe ouer: that they turne not againe to couer the earth.

²²Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

^22*Feare yee not mee, saith the LORD? Will yee not tremble at my presence, which haue placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetuall decree that it cannot passe it, and though the waues thereof tosse themselues, yet can they not preuaile, though they roare, yet can they not passe ouer it?
