1 In the beginning of creation, Elohim Gods, created the heavens and the earth.
1 And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
2 And the earth was then a waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of Tiamat, the deep, and the Wind of Elohim was blowing over the face of the waters.
3 And Elohim Gods, said, "Let there be light." And there was light.
4 And Elohim Gods, saw the light and was pleased with what he saw; and Elohim Gods, divided between the light and the darkness.
5 And Elohim Gods, called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day.
6 And Elohim Gods, said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters."
7 And Elohim Gods, hammered metal into a sheet forming the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so. And Elohim Gods was pleased with what he saw.
8 And Elohim Gods, called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning -- a second day.
9 And Elohim Gods, said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so.
10 And Elohim Gods, called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And Elohim Gods, and was pleased with what he saw.
11 And Elohim Gods, said, "Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth." And it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, herb producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in them, after their kind. And Elohim, Gods, and was pleased with what he saw.
13 And there was evening, and there was morning -- a third day.
14 And Elohim Gods, said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons, to mark the fixed times of the days and years;
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth." And it was so.
16 And Elohim Gods, made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, -- and the stars.
17 And Elohim Gods, set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth,
18 and to rule during the day and during the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And Elohim Gods was pleased with what he saw.
19 And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fourth day.
20 And Elohim Gods, said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens", and it was so.
21 And Elohim Gods, created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And Elohim Gods, and was pleased with what he saw.
22 And Elohim Gods, blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply on the earth."
23 And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fifth day.
24 And Elohim Gods, said, "Let the earth bring forth living souls after their kind, domestic animals, and creeping things, and beast of the earth, after their kind." And it was so.
25 And Elohim Gods, made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the domestic animals after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind. And Elohim Gods was pleased with what he saw.
26 And Elohim Gods 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 heavens, and over the domestic animals, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
27 And Elohim Gods, created human beings in his image, in the image of Elohim, Gods, created he them; male and female created he them.
28 And Elohim Gods blessed them; Elohim Gods said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moves on the earth."
29 And Elohim Gods said, "Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you;
30 and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food." And it was so.
31 And Elohim Gods, saw everything that he had made, and was pleased with what he saw. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the sixth day.
2 And Elohim Gods, had finished by the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And Elohim Gods blessed the seventh day and hallowed it; because on that day he rested from all the work which Elohim Gods haddone in creating it.
4 This was the story of heaven and the earth, when they were created.
