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 vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
-
And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
-
And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
-
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. And God saw that it was good.
-
And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
-
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
-
Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
-
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
-
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Adam and Eve
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
-
Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.
-
Cain and Abel
Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.”
-
The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
-
I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.
-
Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.
-
You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
-
Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
-
Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,
-
and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
-
Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”
-
They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings.
-
The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in.
-
Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.
-
Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.
