YLT
Young's Literal Translation
In the beginning God
created
the heavens and the earth .
In the beginning of
God's
preparing
the heavens and the earth --
Now
the earth was
formless
and void, and darkness was
over
the surface
of the deep .
And the Spirit of God was
hovering
over
the surface
of the waters .
the earth hath
existed
waste
and void, and darkness `is'
on
the face
of the deep ,
and the Spirit of God fluttering
on
the face
of the waters ,
And God said
, “
Let there
be
light ,”
and there
was
light.
and God saith
, `
Let light be;'
and light is
.
And God saw
that
the light was
good, and He
separated
the light from
the darkness .
And God seeth
the light that
`it
is'
good, and God
separateth
between
the light and
the darkness ,
God called
the light “
day, ”
and the darkness He called “
night .”
And there was
evening, and there was
morning —the
first
day.
and
God calleth
to
the light `
Day, '
and to
the darkness He hath
called `
Night ;'
and there is
an
evening, and there is
a
morning --
day one
.
And God said
, “
Let there
be
an expanse between
the waters, to
separate
the
waters from
the
waters. ”
And God saith
, `
Let an expanse be
in
the midst
of
the
waters, and
let
it
be
separating
between
waters and
waters. '
So
God made
the expanse and separated
the waters beneath
it
from
the waters above .
And it was
so.
And
God maketh
the expanse ,
and it
separateth
between
the waters which
`are'
under
the expanse,
and
the
waters which
`are'
above the
expanse:
and it is
so.
God called
the expanse “sky.”
And there was
evening, and there was
morning —the
second
day.
And
God calleth
to
the expanse `Heavens;'
and there is
an
evening, and there is
a
morning --
day second
.
And God said
, “
Let the waters under the sky
be gathered
into
one place, so
that
the dry land may
appear.”
And it was
so.
And God saith
, `
Let the waters under the heavens
be collected
unto
one place, and
let
the dry land be
seen:'
and it is
so.
God called
the dry land “
earth, ”
and the gathering
of waters He called “
seas .”
And God saw
that it was
good.
And
God calleth
to
the dry land `
Earth, '
and to
the collection
of the
waters He hath
called `
Seas ;'
and God seeth
that `
it is'
good.
Then
God said
, “
Let the earth bring
forth
vegetation:
seed -bearing
plants
and
fruit
trees
, each
bearing
fruit with
seed according
to
its kind .”
And it was
so.
And
God saith
, `
Let the earth yield
tender
grass,
herb
sowing
seed, fruit -tree
(whose
seed `is'
in
itself)
making
fruit
after
its kind ,
on
the
earth:'
and it is
so.
The earth produced
vegetation:
seed -bearing
plants
according
to
their
kinds
and trees
bearing
fruit with
seed according
to
their
kinds.
And God saw
that it was
good .
And
the earth bringeth
forth
tender
grass,
herb
sowing
seed after
its
kind,
and tree
making
fruit (whose
seed `is'
in
itself)
after
its
kind;
and God seeth
that `
it is'
good ;
And there was
evening, and there was
morning —the
third
day.
and there is
an
evening, and there is
a
morning --
day third
.
And God said
, “
Let there
be lights
in the expanse of the sky
to distinguish
between the day and the night, and
let
them
be
signs to
mark
the
seasons and days and years .
And God saith
, `
Let luminaries
be in the expanse of the heavens,
to make
a
separation
between the day and the night, then
they
have
been
for
signs ,
and
for
seasons ,
and for
days and years ,
And let
them
serve
as
lights
in the expanse of the sky
to shine
upon the earth .”
And it was
so.
and they
have
been
for
luminaries
in the expanse of the heavens
to give
light
upon the earth :'
and it is
so.
God made
two great lights:
the greater
light
to
rule the day and the lesser
light
to
rule
the
night.
And He
made
the stars as
well.
And
God maketh
the
two great luminaries,
the great
luminary
for
the
rule of
the day ,
and the small
luminary
--
and the stars --
for
the
rule
of
the
night;
God set
these
lights
in the expanse of the sky
to shine
upon the earth,
and
God giveth
them
in the expanse of the heavens
to give
light
upon the earth,
to preside
over the
day and the
night, and to separate
the light from
the darkness .
And God saw
that it was
good .
and
to rule
over day and over
night, and to make
a
separation
between
the light and
the darkness ;
and God seeth
that `
it is'
good ;
And there was
evening, and there was
morning —the
fourth
day.
and there is
an
evening, and there is
a
morning --
day fourth
.
And God said
, “
Let the waters teem with living creatures
, and let birds
fly above
the earth in
the open
expanse of the sky
. ”
And God saith
, `
Let the waters teem with the
teeming
living creature
, and fowl
let fly on
the earth on
the face
of
the
expanse of the heavens
. '
So
God created
the great sea
creatures
and every living thing
that moves
, with
which the waters teemed according
to
their kinds
, and every bird
of
flight
after its kind .
And God saw
that it was
good.
And
God prepareth
the great monsters,
and every living creature
that is
creeping
, which the waters have
teemed with,
after
their kind
, and every fowl
with
wing,
after its kind ,
and God seeth
that `
it is'
good.
Then
God blessed
them and
said
, “
Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of
the seas, and let birds
multiply on
the earth .”
And
God blesseth
them, saying,
`
Be fruitful ,
and multiply ,
and fill the waters in
the seas, and the
fowl
let multiply in
the earth :'
And there was
evening, and there was
morning —the
fifth
day.
and there is
an
evening, and there is
a
morning --
day fifth
.
And God said
, “
Let the earth bring forth living creatures
according
to
their
kinds:
livestock
, land
crawlers
, and beasts
of the earth according
to
their
kinds.”
And it was
so.
And God saith
, `
Let the earth bring forth the
living creature
after
its
kind
, cattle
and
creeping
thing
, and beast
of the earth after
its
kind:'
and it is
so.
God made
the beasts
of the earth according
to
their
kinds
, the livestock
according
to
their kinds
, and everything
that
crawls
upon
the earth
according
to
its kind .
And God saw
that it was
good.
And
God maketh
the beast
of the earth after
its
kind
, and
the cattle
after
their kind
, and every
creeping
thing
of
the ground
after
its kind ,
and God seeth
that `
it is'
good.
Then
God said
, “
Let Us make man in Our image, after
Our likeness, to
rule over the
fish of the sea and the
birds
of the air
, over the
livestock
, and over all the earth itself
and every creature
that crawls
upon
it
. ”
And
God saith
, `
Let Us make man in Our image, according
to
Our likeness, and
let
them
rule over fish of the sea ,
and over
fowl
of the heavens
, and
over cattle
, and over all the earth ,
and over
every creeping
thing
that is
creeping
on
the
earth
. '
So
God created
man in His own
image; in the image of God He created
him ;
male and female He created
them.
And
God prepareth
the
man in His image; in the image of God He prepared
him ,
a
male and a
female He prepared
them.
God blessed
them and said
to them, “
Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it ;
rule over the
fish of the sea and the
birds
of the air
and every creature
that crawls
upon the earth. ”
And
God blesseth
them ,
and God
saith
to them, `
Be fruitful ,
and multiply, and fill the earth ,
and subdue it ,
and
rule over fish of the sea ,
and over
fowl
of the heavens,
and over
every living
thing
that is
creeping
upon the earth. '
Then
God said
, “Behold
, I have given you every seed -bearing
plant
on
the face of all the earth, and every tree whose
fruit contains
seed .
They
will
be
yours
for food .
And
God saith
, `Lo
, I have given to
you every herb
sowing
seed ,
which
`is'
upon
the face of all the earth, and every tree in
which
`is'
the
fruit of
a
tree
sowing
seed ,
to
you
it
is
for food ;
And to every beast of the earth and every bird
of the air
and every creature
that
crawls
upon
the earth —everything
that
has
the
breath of life in
it—I
have
given
every green plant
for food .”
And it was
so.
and to every beast of the earth ,
and to
every fowl
of the heavens,
and to
every creeping
thing
on
the earth ,
in
which
`is'
breath of life ,
every green herb
`is'
for food :'
and it is
so.
And God looked
upon
all that He had
made
, and indeed
, it
was
very good .
And there was
evening, and there was
morning —
the sixth day
.
And God seeth
all that He hath
done
, and lo
, very good ;
and there is
an
evening, and there is
a
morning --
day
the sixth.
