Genesis 1 - I.Moses 1.
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens (Universe(s), with galxies, our galaxy:Milky-way, in it with our Solar system) and the Earth.
|
|
|
God created the Universe through a "big bang" as it is called today, then the galaxies, our galaxy:Milky-way, in it with our Solar system with our Sun and Earth these latests from the interstellar dust and particles. |
2 Now the Earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the
Spirit* of God was hovering over the waters.
|
|
The forming Earth is covered in darkness since the contracting and heating up Sun is not shining yet. |
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
|
The Sun started to shine! |
4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night."
|
Days and nights |
And there was evening, and there was morning—the first
"day*".
(The end of the first age / interval / section.)
6 And God said, "Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water."
7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.
8 God called the vault "sky."
|
|
God separated the waters through the sky => Created the Athmosphere |
And there was evening, and there was morning—the second
"day*".
(End of second interval.)
9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.
10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.
|
God separated the land from oceans. |
11 Then God said, "Let the
Earth* produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so.
12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
|
|
God created both the water and dryland plants. |
13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third
"day*".
(End of third interval.)
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark days and seasons and years,
15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
16 God made two great lights — the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.
17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,
18 to rule the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.

|
|
Finally the clouds start to break up and give way to the Sunshine that never has been seen before except as a dim twilight. Through even larger clearing the Sun, Moon and stars starts to shine through! |
19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth
"day*".
(End of fourth interval.)
20 And God said, "Let the waters bring forth and swarm with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky."
21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and all the crawling animals, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 God
blessed* them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth."
|
|
|
God created all the living creatures in the seas, the crawling animals and the birds. |
23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth
"day*".
(End of fifth interval.)
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the herbivores, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so.
25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the
herbivores* according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
|
|
|
God created all the creatures that move along the ground, all the herbivores and wild animals. |
26 Then God said, "Let Us make humankind in
Our image, in Our likeness*, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the earth (ground)."
27   So God created
humankind* in His own image,
in the image of God He created humankind;
male and female he created them.
28 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."
29 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.
30 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 (spirit) in it — I give every green plant for food." And it was so.
|
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. |
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning — the sixth
"day*".
(End of sixth interval.)
