The Showtime

aneIn the starting time(A) God created(B) the heavens(C) and the earth.(D) 2Now the earth was formless(East) and empty,(F) darkness was over the surface of the deep,(G) and the Spirit of God(H) was hovering(I) over the waters.

iiiAnd God said,(J) "Allow there be light," and there was light.(K) 4God saw that the light was good,(Fifty) and he separated the lite from the darkness.(Thou) 5God chosen(North) the light "day," and the darkness he chosen "night."(O) And there was evening, and there was morning(P)—the offset day.

6And God said,(Q) "Let in that location be a vault(R) between the waters(Due south) to split up water from h2o." 7So God made the vault and separated the h2o under the vault from the water above it.(T) And it was so.(U) 8God chosen(V) the vault "sky."(Due west) And there was evening, and there was morning time(X)—the second day.

9And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place,(Y) and let dry footing(Z) appear." And it was so.(AA) 10God chosen(AB) the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters(Air conditioning) he called "seas."(Advertising) And God saw that it was good.(AE)

elevenThen God said, "Let the country produce vegetation:(AF) seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that comport fruit with seed in it, co-ordinate to their various kinds.(AG)" And information technology was so.(AH) 12The land produced vegetation: plants begetting seed according to their kinds(AI) and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that information technology was good.(AJ) 13And there was evening, and there was morning(AK)—the third day.

xivAnd God said, "Let there be lights(AL) in the vault of the sky to dissever the day from the night,(AM) and allow them serve as signs(AN) to mark sacred times,(AO) and days and years,(AP) 15and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give low-cal on the earth." And it was so.(AQ) 16God made two great lights—the greater low-cal(AR) to govern(AS) the day and the lesser lite to govern(AT) the night.(AU) He also made the stars.(AV) 17God prepare them in the vault of the sky to give lite on the earth, 18to govern the day and the night,(AW) and to split up light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.(AX) nineteenAnd there was evening, and there was morning time(AY)—the fourth twenty-four hour period.

twentyAnd God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures,(AZ) and permit birds fly above the world across the vault of the sky."(BA) 21So God created(BB) the nifty creatures of the sea(BC) and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it,(BD) according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.(Be) And God saw that information technology was good.(BF) 22God blessed them and said, "Exist fruitful and increment in number and fill the h2o in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."(BG) 23And at that place was evening, and in that location was forenoon(BH)—the fifth day.

24And God said, "Allow the country produce living creatures(BI) according to their kinds:(BJ) the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild fauna, each according to its kind." And it was so.(BK) 25God fabricated the wild fauna(BL) co-ordinate to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the footing according to their kinds.(BM) And God saw that it was good.(BN)

26And then God said, "Permit us(BO) make mankind(BP) in our image,(BQ) in our likeness,(BR) so that they may rule(BS) over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky,(BT) over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

27So God created(BU) mankind(BV) in his own prototype,(BW)
in the epitome of God(BX) he created them;
male and female person(BY) he created them.(BZ)

28God blessed them and said to them,(CA) "Exist fruitful and increase in number;(CB) make full the earth(CC) and subdue it. Rule over(CD) the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the footing.(CE)"

29And then God said, "I give you lot every seed-bearing constitute on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will exist yours for nutrient.(CF) xxxAnd to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move forth the footing—everything that has the breath of life(CG) in it—I requite every green found for nutrient.(CH)" And it was so.

31God saw all that he had made,(CI) and it was very good.(CJ) And there was evening, and there was morning(CK)—the sixth day.
