How God built the sky and the land
1 |
the sky and the land
2 the land was not yet arranged
darkness over depths
wind of God fluttering
on the face of the water
3 then said God there should be light
and there came to be light
4 God liked the light
God separated light and darkness
5 the light he called Day
and the darkness he called Night
night fell, morning dawned, one day
6 God said there should be made
an expanse amidst the water
separating water from water
7 God made the expanse
that separated the water under the expanse
from the water over the expanse
and so it was
8 and the expanse he called Sky
night fell, morning dawned, another day
9 God said there should be a gathering
of the water under the air
for dry land to appear
and so it was
10 the dry land he called Land
the gathered water he called Ocean
and God liked it
11 God said there should be a flourishing
of the land with grasses
sprouting and seeding
trees producing fruit
bearing fruit like them
having a seed inside
and so it was
12 the earth brought forth grasses
whose seed was like them
trees producing fruit
bearing fruit like them
and God liked it
13 night fell, morning dawned, three days
14 God said there should be made
lights in the expanse of the sky
separating day and night
for the knowing of holidays
days and years
15 lights in the expanse of the sky
to light up the land
and so it was
16 God made two big lights
the big one master of the day
the small one master of the night
also the stars
17 God put them in the expanse of the sky
to light up the land
18 command day and night
and separate light and darkness
and God liked it
19 night fell, morning dawned, four days
20 God said the water should swarm
with swarming life
that flying things should fly
on land, on the expanse of the air
21 God built the great water-serpents
and all moving life
that swarms in the water each like each
and the flying things with wings each like each
and God liked it
22 God blessed them and said:
bear fruit, proliferate
fill up the waters
and let the birds be many over the land
23 night fell, morning dawned, five days
24 God said the land should bear
living things each like each,
animals and moving things
and wildlife each like each
and so it was
25 God made wild beasts
of the land each like each
and the animals each like each
and all that moves on the ground, each like each
and God liked it
26 said God: let us make
Man similar to ourselves
to rule over the fishes
birds of the air
animals, and all the land
and all that moves on the ground
27 God built Man like Himself
similar to God he made him
male and female he made them
28 God blessed them and said to them:
bear fruit, proliferate
fill the earth
become its masters
rule over the fishes
the birds of the air
and all that moves on the ground
29 God said: I give you
all the seeding grasses
that are on all the land
and all the trees
bearing fruit with seeds
they are yours to eat
30 and for all the animals, to eat
and all the birds of the air
and all that moves on the ground
in which the breath of life is
I give them the vegetation
and so it was
31 God saw all he had done
and liked it very much
night fell, morning dawned, six days
2 |
and all the earth
2 and God finished on the sixth day
the work he had done
and rested on the seventh
because all his work was completed
3 God blessed the seventh day
and called that day great
for on it his work ended
of making everything he built
4 and this is the story of the sky and the land
when they came to be made
