Gênesis 1

The History of Creation

1 In the *Ps. 102:25; Is. 40:21; (John 1:1–3; Heb. 1:10)beginning *Gen. 2:4; (Ps. 8:3; 89:11; 90:2); Is. 44:24; Acts 17:24; Rom. 1:20; (Heb. 1:2; 11:3); Rev. 4:11God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was *Jer. 4:23without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. *(Gen. 6:3); Job 26:13; Ps. 33:6; 104:30; Is. 40:13, 14And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 *Ps. 33:6, 9Then God said, *2 Cor. 4:6"Let there be *(Heb. 11:3)light"; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that itwas good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the *Job 37:18; Ps. 19:2; 33:6; 74:16; 104:20; 136:5; Jer. 10:12darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

6 Then God said, *Job 37:18; Jer. 10:12; 2 Pet. 3:5"Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." 7 Thus God made the firmament, *Job 38:8–11; Prov. 8:27–29and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were*Ps. 148:4above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 Then God said, *Job 26:10; Ps. 104:6–9; Prov. 8:29; Jer. 5:22; 2 Pet. 3:5"Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and *Ps. 24:1, 2; 33:7; 95:5let the dry land appear"; and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that itwas good.

11 Then God said, "Let the earth *Ps. 65:9–13; 104:14; Heb. 6:7bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the *2 Sam. 16:1; Luke 6:44fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that itwas good. 13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.

14 Then God said, "Let there be *Deut. 4:19; Ps. 74:16; 136:5–9lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and *Ps. 104:19seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great lights: the *Ps. 136:8greater light to rule the day, and the *Deut. 17:3; Ps. 8:3lesser light to rule the night. Hemade*Deut. 4:19; Job 38:7; Is. 40:26the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the *Gen. 15:5; Jer. 33:20, 25heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to *Jer. 31:35rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that itwas good. 19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20 Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens." 21 So *Ps. 104:25–28God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that itwas good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, *Gen. 8:17"Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." 23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that itwas good.

26 Then God said, *Gen. 9:6; Ps. 100:3; Eccl. 7:29; (Eph. 4:24); James 3:9"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; *Gen. 9:2; Ps. 8:6–8let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God created man *Gen. 5:2; 1 Cor. 11:7in His own image; in the image of God He created him; *Matt. 19:4; (Mark 10:6–8)male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, *Gen. 9:1, 7; Lev. 26:9"Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and *1 Cor. 9:27subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

29 And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; *Gen. 9:3; Ps. 104:14, 15to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to *Ps. 145:15every beast of the earth, to every *Job 38:41bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which thereis life, Ihavegiven every green herb for food"; and it was so. 31 Then *(Ps. 104:24; 1 Tim. 4:4)God saw everything that He had made, and indeed itwas very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
