1 בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָֽרֶץ
2 וְהָאָרֶץ הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ וְחֹשֶׁךְ עַל פְּנֵי תְהוֹם וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים מְרַחֶפֶת עַל פְּנֵי הַמָּֽיִם
3 וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יְהִי אוֹר וַֽיְהִי אֽוֹר
4 וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים אֶת הָאוֹר כִּי טוֹב וַיַּבְדֵּל אֱלֹהִים בֵּין הָאוֹר וּבֵין הַחֹֽשֶׁךְ
5 וַיִּקְרָא אֱלֹהִים לָאוֹר יוֹם וְלַחֹשֶׁךְ קָרָא לָיְלָה וַֽיְהִי עֶרֶב וַֽיְהִי בֹקֶר יוֹם אֶחָֽד
6 וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יְהִי רָקִיעַ בְּתוֹךְ הַמָּיִם וִיהִי מַבְדִּיל בֵּין מַיִם לָמָֽיִם
7 וַיַּעַשׂ אֱלֹהִים אֶת הָרָקִיעַ וַיַּבְדֵּל בֵּין הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר מִתַּחַת לָרָקִיעַ וּבֵין הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר מֵעַל לָרָקִיעַ וַֽיְהִי כֵֽן
8 וַיִּקְרָא אֱלֹהִים לָֽרָקִיעַ שָׁמָיִם וַֽיְהִי עֶרֶב וַֽיְהִי בֹקֶר יוֹם שֵׁנִֽי
9 וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יִקָּווּ הַמַּיִם מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמַיִם אֶל מָקוֹם אֶחָד וְתֵרָאֶה הַיַּבָּשָׁה וַֽיְהִי כֵֽן
10 וַיִּקְרָא אֱלֹהִים לַיַּבָּשָׁה אֶרֶץ וּלְמִקְוֵה הַמַּיִם קָרָא יַמִּים וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים כִּי טֽוֹב
11 וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים תַּֽדְשֵׁא הָאָרֶץ דֶּשֶׁא עֵשֶׂב מַזְרִיעַ זֶרַע עֵץ פְּרִי עֹשֶׂה פְּרִי לְמִינוֹ אֲשֶׁר זַרְעוֹ בוֹ עַל הָאָרֶץ וַֽיְהִי כֵֽן
12 וַתּוֹצֵא הָאָרֶץ דֶּשֶׁא עֵשֶׂב מַזְרִיעַ זֶרַע לְמִינֵהוּ וְעֵץ עֹֽשֶׂה פְּרִי אֲשֶׁר זַרְעוֹ בוֹ לְמִינֵהוּ וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים כִּי טֽוֹב
13 וַֽיְהִי עֶרֶב וַֽיְהִי בֹקֶר יוֹם שְׁלִישִֽׁי
14 וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יְהִי מְאֹרֹת בִּרְקִיעַ הַשָּׁמַיִם לְהַבְדִּיל בֵּין הַיּוֹם וּבֵין הַלָּיְלָה וְהָיוּ לְאֹתֹת וּלְמוֹעֲדִים וּלְיָמִים וְשָׁנִֽים
15 וְהָיוּ לִמְאוֹרֹת בִּרְקִיעַ הַשָּׁמַיִם לְהָאִיר עַל הָאָרֶץ וַֽיְהִי כֵֽן
16 וַיַּעַשׂ אֱלֹהִים אֶת שְׁנֵי הַמְּאֹרֹת הַגְּדֹלִים אֶת הַמָּאוֹר הַגָּדֹל לְמֶמְשֶׁלֶת הַיּוֹם וְאֶת הַמָּאוֹר הַקָּטֹן לְמֶמְשֶׁלֶת הַלַּיְלָה וְאֵת הַכּוֹכָבִֽים
17 וַיִּתֵּן אֹתָם אֱלֹהִים בִּרְקִיעַ הַשָּׁמָיִם לְהָאִיר עַל הָאָֽרֶץ
18 וְלִמְשֹׁל בַּיּוֹם וּבַלַּיְלָה וּֽלְהַבְדִּיל בֵּין הָאוֹר וּבֵין הַחֹשֶׁךְ וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים כִּי טֽוֹב
19 וַֽיְהִי עֶרֶב וַֽיְהִי בֹקֶר יוֹם רְבִיעִֽי
20 וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁרְצוּ הַמַּיִם שֶׁרֶץ נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה וְעוֹף יְעוֹפֵף עַל הָאָרֶץ עַל פְּנֵי רְקִיעַ הַשָּׁמָֽיִם
21 וַיִּבְרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶת הַתַּנִּינִם הַגְּדֹלִים וְאֵת כׇּל נֶפֶשׁ הַֽחַיָּה הָֽרֹמֶשֶׂת אֲשֶׁר שָׁרְצוּ הַמַּיִם לְמִֽינֵהֶם וְאֵת כׇּל עוֹף כָּנָף לְמִינֵהוּ וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים כִּי טֽוֹב
22 וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתָם אֱלֹהִים לֵאמֹר פְּרוּ וּרְבוּ וּמִלְאוּ אֶת הַמַּיִם בַּיַּמִּים וְהָעוֹף יִרֶב בָּאָֽרֶץ
23 וַֽיְהִי עֶרֶב וַֽיְהִי בֹקֶר יוֹם חֲמִישִֽׁי
24 וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים תּוֹצֵא הָאָרֶץ נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה לְמִינָהּ בְּהֵמָה וָרֶמֶשׂ וְחַֽיְתוֹ אֶרֶץ לְמִינָהּ וַֽיְהִי כֵֽן
25 וַיַּעַשׂ אֱלֹהִים אֶת חַיַּת הָאָרֶץ לְמִינָהּ וְאֶת הַבְּהֵמָה לְמִינָהּ וְאֵת כׇּל רֶמֶשׂ הָֽאֲדָמָה לְמִינֵהוּ וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים כִּי טֽוֹב
26 וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים נַֽעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ וְיִרְדּוּ בִדְגַת הַיָּם וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וּבַבְּהֵמָה וּבְכׇל הָאָרֶץ וּבְכׇל הָרֶמֶשׂ הָֽרֹמֵשׂ עַל הָאָֽרֶץ
27 וַיִּבְרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶת הָֽאָדָם בְּצַלְמוֹ בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים בָּרָא אֹתוֹ זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה בָּרָא אֹתָֽם
28 וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתָם אֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אֱלֹהִים פְּרוּ וּרְבוּ וּמִלְאוּ אֶת הָאָרֶץ וְכִבְשֻׁהָ וּרְדוּ בִּדְגַת הַיָּם וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וּבְכׇל חַיָּה הָֽרֹמֶשֶׂת עַל הָאָֽרֶץ
29 וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים הִנֵּה נָתַתִּי לָכֶם אֶת כׇּל עֵשֶׂב זֹרֵעַ זֶרַע אֲשֶׁר עַל פְּנֵי כׇל הָאָרֶץ וְאֶת כׇּל הָעֵץ אֲשֶׁר בּוֹ פְרִי עֵץ זֹרֵעַ זָרַע לָכֶם יִֽהְיֶה לְאׇכְלָֽה
30 וּֽלְכׇל חַיַּת הָאָרֶץ וּלְכׇל עוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וּלְכֹל רוֹמֵשׂ עַל הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר בּוֹ נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה אֶת כׇּל יֶרֶק עֵשֶׂב לְאׇכְלָה וַֽיְהִי כֵֽן
31 וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים אֶת כׇּל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וְהִנֵּה טוֹב מְאֹד וַֽיְהִי עֶרֶב וַֽיְהִי בֹקֶר יוֹם הַשִּׁשִּֽׁי
1 When God began to create heaven and earth—
2 The earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind from God sweeping over the water—
3 God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light Day—and called the darkness Night. And there was evening and there was morning, a first day.
6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the water, that it may separate water from water.”
7 God made the expanse, and it separated the water that was below the expanse from the water that was above the expanse. And it was so.
8 God called the expanse Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 God said, “Let the water below the sky be gathered into one area, that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.
10 God called the dry land Earth—and called the gathering of waters Seas. And God saw that this was good.
11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: seed-bearing plants, fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.” And it was so.
12 The earth brought forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that this was good.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate day from night; they shall serve as signs for the set times—the days and the years;
15 And they shall serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.
16 God made the two great lights, the greater light to dominate the day and the lesser light to dominate the night, and the stars.
17 And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,
18 To dominate the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that this was good.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 God said, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and birds that fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.”
21 God created the great sea monsters, and all the living creatures of every kind that creep, which the waters brought forth in swarms, and all the winged birds of every kind. And God saw that this was good.
22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fertile and increase, fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 God said, “Let the earth bring forth every kind of living creature: cattle, creeping things, and wild beasts of every kind.” And it was so.
25 God made wild beasts of every kind and cattle of every kind, and all kinds of creeping things of the earth. And God saw that this was good.
26 And God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness. They shall rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the cattle, the whole earth, and all the creeping things that creep on earth.”
27 And God created humankind in the divine image, creating it in the image of God— creating them male and female.
28 God blessed them and God said to them, “Be fertile and increase, fill the earth and master it; and rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and all the living things that creep on earth.”
29 God said, “See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food.
30 And to all the animals on land, to all the birds of the sky, and to everything that creeps on earth, in which there is the breath of life, [I give] all the green plants for food.” And it was so.
31 And God saw all that had been made, and found it very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
