      Part I

      Genesis 1:1—11:26

      1:1 When Elohim first began to form1 the heavens and the earth,

      2 The earth was devastation and desolation,2

      Darkness was over [the] deep,3

      The wind of Elohim was storming over the waters,4

      3 Elohim said:

      “Let there be light.”

      There was light.

      4 Elohim saw that the light was good.

      Elohim divided between the light and between the darkness.

      5 Elohim called the light day.

      The darkness he called night.

      There was evening.

      There was morning:

      Day one.5

      6 Elohim said:

      “Let there be a vault in the midst of the waters.

      Let there be a division between waters and waters.”

      7 Elohim made the vault.

      He divided between the waters that were under the vault,

      and between the waters that were above the vault.

      So it was.6

      8 Elohim called the vault heaven.

      There was evening.

      There was morning:

      A second day.7

      9 Elohim said:

      “Let the waters under the heavens be pooled into one place.

      Let the dry land appear.”

      So it was.

      10 Elohim called the dry land earth.

      The pools8 of waters he called seas.

      Elohim saw that it was good.

      11 Elohim said:

      “Let the earth produce vegetation

      (plants that scatter seed, [and] fruit trees that bear fruit

      of their kind in which is their seed)9 upon the earth.”

      So it was.

      12 The earth brought forth vegetation

      (plants that scatter seed of their kind, and trees

      that bear fruit in which is their seed of their kind).

      Elohim saw that it was good.

      13 There was evening.

      There was morning:

      A third day.

      14 Elohim said:

      “Let there be lights in the vault of the heavens

      to divide between the day and between the night;

      they will be for signs and seasons and for days and years;

      15 they will be for lights in the vault of the heavens to give

      light upon the earth.”

      So it was.

      16 Elohim made the two great lights,

      the greater light to rule the day

      and the lesser light to rule the night,

      and the stars.

      17 Elohim placed them in the vault of the heavens,

      to give light upon the earth,

      18 to rule in the day and in the night,

      and to divide between the light and between the darkness.

      Elohim saw that it was good.

      19 There was evening.

      There was morning:
