Genesis 1:1 - 2:3 in the King James Bible

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.

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.
