⥃The Creation ^{[ John 1:1–5 † Hebrews 11:1–3 ]}

[1] In the beginning³ God⁴ created the heaven and the earth.⁵ [2] And the earth was without⁶ form and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit⁷ of God moved upon the face of the waters.

⥃The First Day

[3] And God⁸ said, Let⁹ there be light: and there was light. [4] And God saw the light, that¹⁰ [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness¹¹. [5] And¹² God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were¹³ the first day.

⥃The Second Day

[6] And God said, Let there¹⁴ be a firmament¹⁵ in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. [7] And God made the firmament, and divided¹⁶ the waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above¹⁷ the firmament: and it¹⁸ was so. [8] And God¹⁹ called the firmament Heaven. And the evening²⁰ and the morning were the second day.

⥃The Third 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.²¹ [10] And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw²² that [it was] good. [11] And God said, Let the²³ earth bring forth grass²⁴, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit²⁵ tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [12] And the earth²⁶ brought forth grass, [and] herb²⁷ yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good. [13] And the evening and the morning were the third day.

⥃The Fourth Day

[14] And God said, Let there²⁸ be lights²⁹ in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night³⁰; and let³¹ them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. [16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule³² the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also³³. [17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,³⁴ [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.³⁵ [19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

⥃The Fifth Day

[20] And God said, Let the waters³⁶ bring forth abundantly the moving³⁷ creature that hath life³⁸, and fowl [that] may fly³⁹ above the earth in the open firmament⁴⁰ of heaven. [21] And God created great⁴¹ whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought⁴² forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw⁴³ that [it was] good. [22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.⁴⁴ [23] And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

⥃The Sixth Day

[24] And God said, Let⁴⁵ 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. [25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.⁴⁶

[26] And God said, Let us⁴⁷ make man⁴⁸ in our⁴⁹ image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion⁵⁰ over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. [27] So God created man in his [own] image, in the image⁵¹ of God created he him; male⁵² and female created he them.⁵³ [28] And 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 moveth⁵⁴ upon the earth.⁵⁵

[29] And God said, Behold, I have⁵⁶ given you every herb bearing⁵⁷ 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 you⁵⁸ it shall be for meat. [30] And 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] life⁵⁹, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was so.⁶⁰ [31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good⁶¹. And the⁶² evening and the morning were the sixth day.
