The Creation
1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת בָּרָ֣א הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ bə·rê·šîṯ ’ĕ·lō·hîm ’êṯ bā·rā haš·šā·ma·yim wə·’êṯ hā·’ā·reṣ — WLC · 1
ΕΝ ΑΡΧΗ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν. — LXX Swete · 1
2
Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָיְתָ֥ה תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ עַל־ פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹם וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים מְרַחֶ֖פֶת עַל־ פְּנֵ֥י הַמָּֽיִם׃ wə·hā·’ā·reṣ hā·yə·ṯāh ṯō·hū wā·ḇō·hū wə·ḥō·šeḵ ‘al- pə·nê ṯə·hō·wm wə·rū·aḥ ’ĕ·lō·hîm mə·ra·ḥe·p̄eṯ ‘al- pə·nê ham·mā·yim — WLC · 2
ἡ δὲ γῆ ἦν ἀόρατος καὶ ἀκατασκεύαστος, καὶ σκότος ἐπάνω τῆς ἀβύσσου· καὶ πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἐπεφέρετο ἐπάνω τοῦ ὕδατος. — LXX Swete · 2
The First Day
3
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
אֱלֹהִ֖ים וַיֹּ֥אמֶר יְהִ֣י א֑וֹר וַֽיְהִי־ אֽוֹר׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yō·mer yə·hî ’ō·wr way·hî- ’ō·wr — WLC · 3
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός Γενηθήτω φῶς· καὶ ἐγένετο φῶς. — LXX Swete · 3
4
And God saw that the light [was] good, and [He] separated the light from… the darkness.
אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֶת־ וַיַּ֧רְא כִּי־ הָא֖וֹר ט֑וֹב אֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיַּבְדֵּ֣ל הָא֖וֹר וּבֵ֥ין בֵּ֥ין הַחֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm ’eṯ- way·yar kî- hā·’ō·wr ṭō·wḇ ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yaḇ·dêl hā·’ō·wr ū·ḇên bên ha·ḥō·šeḵ — WLC · 4
καὶ ἴδεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ φῶς ὅτι καλόν· καὶ διεχώρισεν ὁ θεὸς ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ φωτὸς καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σκότους. — LXX Swete · 4
5
God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning— the first day.
אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ וַיִּקְרָ֨א לָאוֹר֙ י֔וֹם וְלַחֹ֖שֶׁךְ קָ֣רָא לָ֑יְלָה וַֽיְהִי־ עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי־ בֹ֖קֶר אֶחָֽד׃פ י֥וֹם ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yiq·rā lā·’ō·wr yō·wm wə·la·ḥō·šeḵ qā·rā lā·yə·lāh way·hî- ‘e·reḇ way·hî- ḇō·qer ’e·ḥāḏ yō·wm — WLC · 5
καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ φῶς ἡμέραν, καὶ τὸ σκότος ἐκάλεσεν νύκτα. καὶ ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα καὶ ἐγένετο πρωί, ἡμέρα μία. — LXX Swete · 5
The Second Day
6
And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate… the waters from the waters.”
אֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהִ֥י רָקִ֖יעַ בְּת֣וֹךְ הַמָּ֑יִם וִיהִ֣י מַבְדִּ֔יל בֵּ֥ין מַ֖יִם לָמָֽיִם׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yō·mer yə·hî rā·qî·a‘ bə·ṯō·wḵ ham·mā·yim wî·hî maḇ·dîl bên ma·yim lā·mā·yim — WLC · 6

7
So God made the expanse and separated… the waters beneath [it] from the waters above -. And it was so.
אֱלֹהִים֮ אֶת־ וַיַּ֣עַשׂ הָרָקִיעַ֒ וַיַּבְדֵּ֗ל בֵּ֤ין הַמַּ֙יִם֙ אֲשֶׁר֙ מִתַּ֣חַת לָרָקִ֔יעַ וּבֵ֣ין הַמַּ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֖ר מֵעַ֣ל לָרָקִ֑יעַ וַֽיְהִי־ כֵֽן׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm ’eṯ- way·ya·‘aś hā·rā·qî·a‘ way·yaḇ·dêl bên ham·ma·yim ’ă·šer mit·ta·ḥaṯ lā·rā·qî·a‘ ū·ḇên ham·ma·yim ’ă·šer mê·‘al lā·rā·qî·a‘ way·hî- ḵên — WLC · 7

8
God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning— the second day.
אֱלֹהִ֛ים וַיִּקְרָ֧א לָֽרָקִ֖יעַ שָׁמָ֑יִם וַֽיְהִי־ עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי־ בֹ֖קֶר שֵׁנִֽי׃פ י֥וֹם ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yiq·rā lā·rā·qî·a‘ šā·mā·yim way·hî- ‘e·reḇ way·hî- ḇō·qer šê·nî yō·wm — WLC · 8

The Third Day
9
And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry [land] may appear.” And it was so.
אֱלֹהִ֗ים וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמַּ֜יִם מִתַּ֤חַת הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ יִקָּו֨וּ אֶל־ אֶחָ֔ד מָק֣וֹם הַיַּבָּשָׁ֑ה וְתֵרָאֶ֖ה וַֽיְהִי־ כֵֽן׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yō·mer ham·ma·yim mit·ta·ḥaṯ haš·šā·ma·yim yiq·qā·wū ’el- ’e·ḥāḏ mā·qō·wm hay·yab·bā·šāh wə·ṯê·rā·’eh way·hî- ḵên — WLC · 9
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός Συναχθήτω τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ὑποκάτω τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εἰς συναγωγὴν μίαν, καὶ ὀφθήτω ἡ ξηρά· καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως. καὶ συνήχθη τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ὑποκάτω τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ ὤφθη ἡ ξηρά. — LXX Swete · 9
10
God called the dry [land] “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that [it was] good.
אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ וַיִּקְרָ֨א לַיַּבָּשָׁה֙ אֶ֔רֶץ וּלְמִקְוֵ֥ה הַמַּ֖יִם קָרָ֣א יַמִּ֑ים אֱלֹהִ֖ים וַיַּ֥רְא כִּי־ טֽוֹב׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yiq·rā lay·yab·bā·šāh ’e·reṣ ū·lə·miq·wêh ham·ma·yim qā·rā yam·mîm ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yar kî- ṭō·wḇ — WLC · 10

11
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing… plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind - -.” And it was so.
אֱלֹהִ֗ים וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ תַּֽדְשֵׁ֤א דֶּ֔שֶׁא מַזְרִ֣יעַ זֶ֔רַע עֵ֚שֶׂב פְּרִ֞י עֵ֣ץ עֹ֤שֶׂה פְּרִי֙ זַרְעוֹ־ לְמִינ֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר ב֖וֹ עַל־ הָאָ֑רֶץ וַֽיְהִי־ כֵֽן׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yō·mer hā·’ā·reṣ taḏ·šê de·še maz·rî·a‘ ze·ra‘ ‘ê·śeḇ pə·rî ‘êṣ ‘ō·śeh pə·rî zar·‘ōw- lə·mî·nōw ’ă·šer ḇōw ‘al- hā·’ā·reṣ way·hî- ḵên — WLC · 11

12
The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing… plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed… according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

The Fourth Day
14
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark [the] seasons and days and years.
אֱלֹהִ֗ים וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהִ֤י מְאֹרֹת֙ בִּרְקִ֣יעַ הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַיּ֖וֹם וּבֵ֣ין הַלָּ֑יְלָה וְהָי֤וּ לְאֹתֹת֙ וּלְמ֣וֹעֲדִ֔ים וּלְיָמִ֖ים וְשָׁנִֽים׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yō·mer yə·hî mə·’ō·rōṯ bir·qî·a‘ haš·šā·ma·yim lə·haḇ·dîl bên hay·yō·wm ū·ḇên hal·lā·yə·lāh wə·hā·yū lə·’ō·ṯōṯ ū·lə·mō·w·‘ă·ḏîm ū·lə·yā·mîm wə·šā·nîm — WLC · 14

15
And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.

καὶ ἔστωσαν εἰς φαῦσιν ἐν τῷ στερεώματι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ὥστε φαίνειν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως. — LXX Swete · 15
16
God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And [He made] the stars {as well}.

17
God set [these lights] in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,

And there was evening, and there was morning— the fourth day.

The Fifth Day
20
And God said, “Let the waters teem with living… creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”
אֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמַּ֔יִם יִשְׁרְצ֣וּ נֶ֣פֶשׁ חַיָּ֑ה שֶׁ֖רֶץ וְעוֹף֙ יְעוֹפֵ֣ף עַל־ הָאָ֔רֶץ עַל־ פְּנֵ֖י רְקִ֥יעַ הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yō·mer ham·ma·yim yiš·rə·ṣū ne·p̄eš ḥay·yāh še·reṣ wə·‘ō·wp̄ yə·‘ō·w·p̄êp̄ ‘al- hā·’ā·reṣ ‘al- pə·nê rə·qî·a‘ haš·šā·mā·yim — WLC · 20

21
So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, [with] which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every winged bird after its kind. And God saw that [it was] good.
אֶת־ אֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיִּבְרָ֣א הַגְּדֹלִ֑ים וְאֵ֣ת הַתַּנִּינִ֖ם כָּל־ הַֽחַיָּ֣ה׀ נֶ֣פֶשׁ הָֽרֹמֶ֡שֶׂת אֲשֶׁר֩ הַמַּ֜יִם שָׁרְצ֨וּ לְמִֽינֵהֶ֗ם וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־ כָּנָף֙ ע֤וֹף לְמִינֵ֔הוּ אֱלֹהִ֖ים וַיַּ֥רְא כִּי־ טֽוֹב׃ ’eṯ- ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yiḇ·rā hag·gə·ḏō·lîm wə·’êṯ hat·tan·nî·nim kāl- ha·ḥay·yāh ne·p̄eš hā·rō·me·śeṯ ’ă·šer ham·ma·yim šā·rə·ṣū lə·mî·nê·hem wə·’êṯ kāl- kā·nāp̄ ‘ō·wp̄ lə·mî·nê·hū ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yar kî- ṭō·wḇ — WLC · 21

22
Then God blessed them [and] said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

The Sixth Day
24
And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.
אֱלֹהִ֗ים וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הָאָ֜רֶץ תּוֹצֵ֨א חַיָּה֙ נֶ֤פֶשׁ לְמִינָ֔הּ בְּהֵמָ֥ה וָרֶ֛מֶשׂ וְחַֽיְתוֹ־ אֶ֖רֶץ לְמִינָ֑הּ וַֽיְהִי־ כֵֽן׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yō·mer hā·’ā·reṣ tō·w·ṣê ḥay·yāh ne·p̄eš lə·mî·nāh bə·hê·māh wā·re·meś wə·ḥay·ṯōw- ’e·reṣ lə·mî·nāh way·hî- ḵên — WLC · 24

25
- God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that [it was] good.
אֶת־ אֱלֹהִים֩ וַיַּ֣עַשׂ חַיַּ֨ת הָאָ֜רֶץ לְמִינָ֗הּ וְאֶת־ הַבְּהֵמָה֙ לְמִינָ֔הּ וְאֵ֛ת כָּל־ רֶ֥מֶשׂ הָֽאֲדָמָ֖ה לְמִינֵ֑הוּ אֱלֹהִ֖ים וַיַּ֥רְא כִּי־ טֽוֹב׃ ’eṯ- ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·ya·‘aś ḥay·yaṯ hā·’ā·reṣ lə·mî·nāh wə·’eṯ- hab·bə·hê·māh lə·mî·nāh wə·’êṯ kāl- re·meś hā·’ă·ḏā·māh lə·mî·nê·hū ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yar kî- ṭō·wḇ — WLC · 25

26
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon [it].”
אֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיֹּ֣אמֶר נַֽעֲשֶׂ֥ה אָדָ֛ם בְּצַלְמֵ֖נוּ כִּדְמוּתֵ֑נוּ וְיִרְדּוּ֩ בִדְגַ֨ת הַיָּ֜ם וּבְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם וּבַבְּהֵמָה֙ וּבְכָל־ הָאָ֔רֶץ וּבְכָל־ הָרֶ֖מֶשׂ הָֽרֹמֵ֥שׂ עַל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ ’ĕ·lō·hîm way·yō·mer na·‘ă·śeh ’ā·ḏām bə·ṣal·mê·nū kiḏ·mū·ṯê·nū wə·yir·dū ḇiḏ·ḡaṯ hay·yām ū·ḇə·‘ō·wp̄ haš·šā·ma·yim ū·ḇab·bə·hê·māh ū·ḇə·ḵāl hā·’ā·reṣ ū·ḇə·ḵāl hā·re·meś hā·rō·mêś ‘al- hā·’ā·reṣ — WLC · 26

27
So God created man in His [own] image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

28
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.”

Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every vvv seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains… seed. They will be yours for food.

And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth— everything that has the breath of life in it— [I have given] every green plant for food.” And it was so.

And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, [it was] very good. And there was evening, and there was morning— the sixth day.
