Genesis 1:1-18 ▼

1 In the beginnyng GOD created ye heauen and the earth.

2 And the earth was without fourme, and was voyde: & darknes was vpon the face of the deepe, and the spirite of God moued vpon the face of the waters.

3 And God sayde, let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God sawe the lyght that it was good: and God deuided the lyght from the darknes.

5 And God called the light day, and the darknes night: and the euenyng & the mornyng were the first day.

6 And God said: let there be a firmament betwene the waters, and let it make a diuision betwene waters and waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and set the diuision betwene the waters which were vnder the firmament, and the waters that were aboue the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament the heauen: and the euenyng and the mornyng were the seconde day.

9 And God saide: let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered together into one place, and let the drye lande appeare: and it was so.

10 And God called the drie lande ye earth, and the gatheryng together of waters called he the seas: and God sawe that it was good.

11 And God sayde: let the earth bryng foorth both budde and hearbe apt to seede, and fruitfull trees yeeldyng fruite after his kynde, which hath seede in it selfe vpon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth both bud and hearbe apt to seede after his kynde, and tree yeeldyng fruite, whiche hath seede in it selfe, after his kynde. And God sawe that it was good.

13 And the euenyng and the mornyng were the thirde day.

14 And God sayde: let there be lyghtes in the firmament of the heauen, that they may deuide the day and the nyght, and let them be for signes, & seasons, and for dayes, and yeres.

15 And let them be for lyghtes in the firmament of the heauen, that they maye geue light vpo the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lyghtes: a greater lyght to rule the day, and a lesse lyght to rule the nyght, and he made starres also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to shyne vpon the earth,

18 And to rule the day and nyght, and to make difference betweene the lyght and the darknesse: and God saw that it was good.
