1In the beginning God
created the heavens
and the earth.
2The earth was barren,
with no form of life;
it was under a roaring ocean
covered with darkness.
But the Spirit of God
was moving over the water.
The first day3God said, “I command light to shine!” And light started shining.The second day
6God said, “I command a dome to separate the water above it from the water below it.” to rule the night. He also made the stars.
17Then God put these lights in the sky to shine on the earth,
18to rule day and night, and to separate light from darkness. God looked at what he had done, and it was good.
19Evening came and then morning—that was the fourth day.
The fifth day20God said, “I command the sea to be full of living creatures, and I command birds to fly above the earth.”
21So God made the giant sea monsters and all the living creatures that swim in the sea. He also made every kind of bird. God looked at what he had done, and it was good.
22Then he gave the living creatures his blessing—he told the sea creatures to live everywhere in the sea and the birds to live everywhere on earth.
23Evening came and then morning—that was the fifth day.
The sixth day24God said, “I command the earth to give life to all kinds of tame animals, wild animals, and reptiles.” And that's what happened.
25God made every one of them. Then he looked at what he had done, and it was good.
26God said, “Now we will make humans, and they will be like us. We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures.”
27So God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women.Gn 5.1,2.
Mt 19.4; Mk 10.6.28God gave them his blessing and said:
Have a lot of children! Fill the earth with people and bring it under your control. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and every animal on the earth.
29I have provided all kinds of fruit and grain for you to eat.
30And I have given the green plants as food for everything else that breathes. These will be food for animals, both wild and tame, and for birds.
31God looked at what he had done. All of it was very good! Evening came and then morning—that was the sixth day.
