Q. 9
Genesis 1 (ESV) Back
1In the beginning, God created the heavens
and the earth. 2The earth was without form and void, and darkness
was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face
of the waters. 3And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was
light. 4And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the
darkness. 5God called the light Day, and the darkness he
called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6And God
said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate
the waters from the waters.” 7And God made the expanse and separated the
waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse.
And it was so. 8And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was
evening and there was morning, the second day. 9And God said, “Let the waters under the
heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And
it was so. 10God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that
were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11And God
said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees
bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the
earth.” And it was so. 12The earth brought forth vegetation, plants
yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is
their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13And
there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 14And God said, “Let there be lights in the
expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for
signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15and let them be lights in the expanse of
the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16And God made the two great lights—the
greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the
stars. 17And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18to rule
over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness.
And God saw that it was good. 19And there was evening and there was
morning, the fourth day. 20And God said, “Let the waters swarm with
swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the
expanse of the heavens.” 21So God created the great sea creatures and
every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to
their kinds, and every winged bird according to its 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 birds multiply on the earth.” 23And
there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24And God said, “Let the earth bring forth
living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and
beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25And God
made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock
according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to
its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26Then 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 livestock and over all the earth
and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27So God created man in his own image, in
the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28And God
blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill 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 on the earth.” 29And God
said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face
of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them
for food. 30And to every beast of the earth and to every bird
of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has
the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31And God
saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was
evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Genesis 1 (KJ3) Back
1¶ In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth;
2 and the earth being without form and empty,
and darkness being on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God
hovering on the face of the waters,
3¶ and God said, Let light be! And there was
light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good,
and God separated between the light and between the darkness.
5 And God called the light, Day. And He called
the darkness, Night. And it was evening, and it was morning, day one.
6¶ And God said, Let an expanse be in the midst
of the waters, and let it be dividing between the waters and waters.
7 And God made the expanse, and He separated
between the waters which were under the expanse and the waters which were
above the expanse. And it was so.
8 And God called the expanse, Heavens. And it
was evening, and it was morning, a second day.
9¶ And God said, Let the waters under the
heavens be collected to one place, and let the dry land be seen. And it was so.
10 And God called the dry land, Earth. And He
called the collection of the waters, Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth cause to sprout
grass, the plant seeding seed, the fruit tree producing fruit according to its
kind, which seed is in it on the earth. And it was so.
12 And the earth bore grass, the green plant
seeding seed according to its kind, and the fruit tree producing fruit
according to its kind, which seed is in it. And God saw that it was good.
13 And it was evening, and it was morning, a
third day.
14¶ And God said, Let luminaries be in the
expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and between the night. And
let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years.
15 And let them be for luminaries in the
expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.
16 And God made the two great luminaries: the
great luminary to rule the day, and the small luminary and the stars to rule
the night.
17 And God set them in the expanse of the
heavens, to give light on the earth,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night;
and to divide between the light and between the darkness. And God saw that it
was good.
19 And it was evening, and it was morning, a
fourth day.
20¶ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarmers
having a soul of life; and let the birds fly over the earth and the
expanse of the heavens.
21 And God created the great sea monsters, and
all that moves, having a living body, which abounds the waters, according to
its kind; and every bird with wing 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 the birds multiply in
the earth.
23 And it was evening, and it was morning, a
fifth day.
24¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the
living soul according to its kind: cattle, and creepers, and the living
things of the earth, according to their kind. And it was so.
25 And God made the beasts of the earth
according to its kind, and cattle according to its kind, and every creeping
thing of the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26¶ And God said, let Us make man in Our image,
according to 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 creeping on the earth.
27 And God created the man in His own image; in
the image of God He created him. He created them male and female.
28 And God blessed them; and God said to them,
Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion
over the fish of the seas, and over birds of the heavens, and over every living
creature moving on the earth.
29¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you
every green plant seeding seed which is on the face of all the earth,
and every tree which is in it, the fruit of the tree
seeding seed; it shall be food for you.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to all
birds of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth which is in
it having a living soul, every green plant is for food. And it
was so.
31¶ And God saw all that He had made and
behold, it was very good. And it was evening, and it was morning, the
sixth day.
Genesis 1 (NASB95) Back
1In the beginning God created the heavens

over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface
of the waters. 3Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was

darkness. 5God called the light day, and the darkness He
called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. 6Then God
said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate
the waters from the waters.” 7God made the expanse, and separated the
waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the
expanse; and it was so. 8God called the expanse heaven. And there was
evening and there was morning, a second day. 9Then God said, “Let the waters below the
heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was
so. 10God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called
seas; and God saw that it was good. 11Then God said, “Let the earth sprout
vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit
after their kind with seed in them”; and it was so. 12The earth brought forth vegetation, plants
yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them,
after their kind; and God saw that it was good. 13There was evening and there was morning, a
third day. 14Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse
of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs
and for seasons and for days and years; 15and let them be for lights in the expanse
of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so.
16God made the two
great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to
govern the night; He made the stars also. 17God placed them in the expanse of the
heavens to give light on the earth, 18and to govern the day and the night, and
to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. 19There
was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. 20Then God said, “Let the waters teem with
swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open
expanse of the heavens.” 21God created the great sea monsters and
every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their
kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 22God
blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the
seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23There was evening and there was morning, a
fifth day. 24Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living
creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth
after their kind”; and it was so. 25God made the beasts of the earth after
their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the
ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 26Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our
image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea
and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and
over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27God created man in His own image, in the
image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28God
blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the

God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the
surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it
shall be food for you; 30and to every beast of the earth and to every bird
of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have
given every green plant for food”; and it was so. 31God saw all that He had made, and behold,
it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Genesis 1 (WEB) Back
1 In the beginning, God* created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was formless and empty. Darkness
was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface
of the waters.
3 God said, “Let there be light,” and
there was light.
4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good.
God divided the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day”, and the darkness
he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in
the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters
which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and
it was so.
8 God called the expanse “sky”. There was
evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 God said, “Let the waters under the
sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was
so.
10 God called the dry land “earth”, and the
gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. God saw that it was good.
11 God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs
yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their
seeds in it, on the earth;” and it was so.
12 The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed
after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their
kind; and God saw that it was good.
13 There was evening and there was morning, a
third day.
14 God said, “Let there be lights in the
expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs
to mark seasons, days, and years;
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of
the sky to give light on the earth;” and it was so.
16 God made the two great lights: the greater
light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the
stars.
17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to
give light to the earth,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night,
and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
19 There was evening and there was morning, a
fourth day.
20 God said, “Let the waters abound with
living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the
sky.”
21 God created the large sea creatures and
every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their
kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the
earth.”
23 There was evening and there was morning, a
fifth day.
24 God said, “Let the earth produce
living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of
the earth after their kind;” and it was so.
25 God made the animals of the earth after
their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on
the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.
26 God said, “Let’s make man in our
image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and
over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 God created man in his own image. In God’s
image he created him; male and female he created them.

fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish
of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves
on the earth.”
29 God said, “Behold,† I have given you every herb yielding
seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears
fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.
30 To every animal of the earth, and to every
bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is
life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.
