Chapter 1
|
|
1:1 |
In the beginning God created the heaven
and the earth. |
1:2 |
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. |
1:3 |
And God said, Let there be light: and
there was light. |
1:4 |
And God saw the light, that it was good:
and God divided the light from the darkness. |
1:5 |
And God called the light Day, and the
darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first
day. |
1:6 |
And God said, Let there be a firmament
in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. |
1:7 |
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. |
1:8 |
And God called the firmament Heaven. And
the evening and the morning were the second day. |
1:9 |
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. |
1:10 |
And God called the dry land Earth; and
the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it
was good. |
1:11 |
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. |
1:12 |
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. |
1:13 |
And the evening and the morning were the
third day. |
1:14 |
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: |
1:15 |
And let them be for lights in the firmament
of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. |
1:16 |
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. |
1:17 |
And God set them in the firmament of the
heaven to give light upon the earth, |
1:18 |
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. |
1:19 |
And the evening and the morning were the
fourth day. |
1:20 |
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. |
1:21 |
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. |
1:22 |
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in
the earth. |
1:23 |
And the evening and the morning were the
fifth day. |
1:24 |
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. |
1:25 |
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. |
1:26 |
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. |
1:27 |
So God created man in his own image, in
the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. |
1:28 |
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. |
1:29 |
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. |
1:30 |
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. |
1:31 |
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. |
Chapter 2
|
|
2:1 |
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished,
and all the host of them. |
2:2 |
And on the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which
he had made. |
2:3 |
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified
it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created
and made. |
2:4 |
These are the generations of the heavens
and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made
the earth and the heavens, |
2:5 |
And every plant of the field before it
was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD
God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to
till the ground. |
2:6 |
But there went up a mist from the earth,
and watered the whole face of the ground. |
2:7 |
And the LORD God formed man of the dust
of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul. |
2:8 |
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward
in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. |
2:9 |
And out of the ground made the LORD God
to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the
tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge
of good and evil. |
2:10 |
And a river went out of Eden to water
the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. |
2:11 |
The name of the first is Pison: that is
it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; |
2:12 |
And the gold of that land is good: there
is bdellium and the onyx stone. |
2:13 |
And the name of the second river is Gihon:
the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. |
2:14 |
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel:
that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river
is Euphrates. |
2:15 |
And the LORD God took the man, and put
him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. |
2:16 |
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying,
Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: |
2:17 |
But of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die. |
2:18 |
And the LORD God said, It is not good
that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. |
2:19 |
And out of the ground the LORD God formed
every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto
Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living
creature, that was the name thereof. |
2:20 |
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and
to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there
was not found an help meet for him. |
2:21 |
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to
fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up
the flesh instead thereof; |
2:22 |
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken
from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. |
2:23 |
And Adam said, This is now bone of my
bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was
taken out of Man. |
2:24 |
Therefore shall a man leave his father
and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. |
2:25 |
And they were both naked, the man and
his wife, and were not ashamed. |
Chapter 3
|
|
3:1 |
Now the serpent was more subtle than any
beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? |
3:2 |
And the woman said unto the serpent, We
may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: |
3:3 |
But of the fruit of the tree which is
in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither
shall ye touch it, lest ye die. |
3:4 |
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
shall not surely die: |
3:5 |
For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing
good and evil. |
3:6 |
And when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired
to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. |
3:7 |
And the eyes of them both were opened,
and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together,
and made themselves aprons. |
3:8 |
And they heard the voice of the LORD God
walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid
themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. |
3:9 |
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and
said unto him, Where art thou? |
3:10 |
And he said, I heard thy voice in the
garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. |
3:11 |
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast
naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou
shouldest not eat? |
3:12 |
And the man said, The woman whom thou
gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. |
3:13 |
And the LORD God said unto the woman,
What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled
me, and I did eat. |
3:14 |
And the LORD God said unto the serpent,
Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above
every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt
thou eat all the days of thy life: |
3:15 |
And I will put enmity between thee and
the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head,
and thou shalt bruise his heel. |
3:16 |
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly
multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth
children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
thee. |
3:17 |
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which
I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground
for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; |
3:18 |
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring
forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; |
3:19 |
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken:
for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. |
3:20 |
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because
she was the mother of all living. |
3:21 |
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the
LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. |
3:22 |
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man
is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth
his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: |
3:23 |
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth
from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. |
3:24 |
So he drove out the man; and he placed
at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which
turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. |
