God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
-
God called the expanse “heaven.” And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
-
And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
-
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and they shall serve as signs and for seasons, and for days and years;
-
God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.
-
and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.
-
And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
-
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
-
And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
-
By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
-
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

The Creation of Man and Woman
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.
-
but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for on the day that you eat from it you will certainly die.”
-
For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing good and evil.”
-
Now they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

Then the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all the livestock, And more than any animal of the field; On your belly you shall go, And dust you shall eat All the days of your life;
-
Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’; Cursed is the ground because of you; With hard labor you shall eat from it All the days of your life.
-
Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and I will be hidden from Your face, and I will be a wanderer and a drifter on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
