Genesis 1:1-31 (KJV)
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And 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.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and
God divided the light from the darkness.
[5] And 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.
[7] And 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.
[8] And 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.
[10] And God called the dry land Earth; and the
gathering together of the waters called he Seas:
and God saw that it was good.
[11] And 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.
[12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb
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.
[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from
the night; and let 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 rule the day, and the lesser light to
rule the night: he made the stars also.
[17] And God set them in the firmament of the
heaven to give light upon the earth,
[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.
[19] And the evening and the morning were the
fourth day.
[20] And 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.
[21] And 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.
[22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas,
and let fowl multiply in the earth.
[23] And 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.
[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.
[26] And 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 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
image of God created he him; male and female
created he them.
[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 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.
[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 life, I have
given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
[31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and,
behold, it was very good. And the evening and
the morning were the sixth day.
