1	In the begynnynge God created heaven and erth.	In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.	In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2	The erth was voyde and emptie ad darcknesse was vpon the depe and the spirite of god moved vpon the water	The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.	Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3	Than God sayd: let there be lyghte and there was lyghte.	And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.	And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4	And God sawe the lyghte that it was good: and devyded the lyghte from the darcknesse	And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.	God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5	and called the lyghte daye and the darcknesse nyghte: and so of the evenynge and mornynge was made the fyrst daye	God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.	God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6	And God sayd: let there be a fyrmament betwene the waters ad let it devyde the waters a sonder.	And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”	And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”
7	Than God made the fyrmament and parted the waters which were vnder the fyrmament from the waters that were above the fyrmament: And it was so.	And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.	So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.
8	And God called the fyrmament heaven And so of the evenynge and morninge was made the seconde daye	And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.	God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9	And God sayd let the waters that are vnder heaven gather them selves vnto one place that the drye londe may appere: And it came so to passe.	And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.	And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
10	And god called the drye lande the erth and the gatheringe togyther of waters called he the see. And God sawe that it was good	God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.	God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11	And God sayd: let the erth bringe forth herbe and grasse that sowe seed and frutefull trees that bere frute every one in his kynde havynge their seed in them selves vpon the erth. And it came so to passe:	And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.	Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.
12	ad the erth brought forth herbe and grasse sowenge seed every one in his kynde and trees berynge frute and havynge their seed in the selves every one in his kynde. And God sawe that it was good:	The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.	The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years,	And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,
15	And let them be lyghtes in the fyrmament of heave to shyne vpon the erth. and so it was.	and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so.	and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
16	And God made two great lyghtes A greater lyghte to rule the daye and a lesse lyghte to rule the nyghte and he made sterres also.	And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.	God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17	And God put them in the fyrmament of heaven to shyne vpon the erth	And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,	God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,
18	and to rule the daye and the nyghte ad to devyde the lyghte from darcknesse. And god sawe yt it was good:	to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.	to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.

21	And God created greate whalles and all maner of creatures that lyve and moue which the waters brought forth in their kindes ad all maner of federed foules in their kyndes. And God sawe that it was good:	So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.	So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.

Then 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 birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”	Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
