waters, and it was so, even as I spake; and I said, let it divide the waters from the waters, and it was done; and I, God, made the firmament, and divided the waters, yea, the great waters under the firmament, from the waters which were above the firmament, and it was so even as I spake; and I, God, called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and the morning were the second Day.

And I, God, said, let the waters under heaven be gathered together into one place, and it was so; and I, God, said, let there be dry land, and it was so; and I, God, called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, called I the Seas; and I, God, saw that all things that I had made were good. And I, God, said, let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yield­ing seed, the fruit tree yielding fruit, after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself upon the earth, and it was so even as I spake; and the earth brought forth grass, every herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself, after his kind; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good; and the evening and the morning were the third Day.

And I, God, said, let there be lights in the firmament of the Heaven to divide the Day from the Night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the Heaven to give light upon the Earth, and it was so. And I, God, made two great lights; the greater light to rule the Day, and the lesser light to rule the Night, and the greater light was the Sun, and the lesser light was the Moon; and the stars were made even according to my word.

And I, God, blessed them, saying, be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the Seas; and let fowl multiply in the earth: and the evening and the morning were the fifth Day.

And I, God, said, let the Earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kinds, and it was so: and I, God, made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing which creepeth upon the earth after his kind; And I, God saw that all these things were good. And I, God, said unto mine Only Begotten, which was with me from the beginning, let us make man in our own image, after our likeness; and it was so. And I, God, said, let them have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over the
