And
then
the
Lord
said:
Let
us
go
down.
And
they
went
down
at
the
beginning,
and
they,
that
is
the
a
Gods,
b
organized
and
formed
the
c
heavens
and
the
earth.
2 And
the
earth,
after
it
was
formed,
was
empty
and
desolate,
because
they
had
not
formed
anything
but
the
earth;
and
a
darkness
reigned
upon
the
face
of
the
deep,
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Gods
b
was
brooding
upon
the
face
of
the
waters.
3 And
they
(the
Gods)
said:
Let
there
be
light;
and
there
was
light.
4 And
they
(the
Gods)
comprehended
the
light,
for
it
was
a
bright;
and
they
divided
the
light,
or
caused
it
to
be
divided,
from
the
darkness.
5 And
the
Gods
called
the
light
Day,
and
the
darkness
they
called
Night.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
from
the
evening
until
morning
they
called
a
night;
and
from
the
morning
until
the
evening
they
called
day;
and
this
was
the
first,
or
the
beginning,
of
that
which
they
called
day
and
night.
6 And
the
Gods
also
said:
Let
there
be
an
a
expanse
in
the
midst
of
the
waters,
and
it
shall
divide
the
waters
from
the
waters.
7 And
the
Gods
ordered
the
expanse,
so
that
it
divided
the
waters
which
were
under
the
expanse
from
the
waters
which
were
above
the
expanse;
and
it
was
so,
even
as
they
ordered.
8 And
the
Gods
called
the
expanse,
Heaven.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
it
was
from
evening
until
morning
that
they
called
night;
and
it
came
to
pass
that
it
was
from
morning
until
evening
that
they
called
day;
and
this
was
the
second
a
time
that
they
called
night
and
day.
9 And
the
Gods
ordered,
saying:
Let
the
a
waters
under
the
heaven
be
gathered
together
unto
b
one
place,
and
let
the
earth
come
up
dry;
and
it
was
so
as
they
ordered;
10 And
the
Gods
pronounced
the
dry
land,
Earth;
and
the
gathering
together
of
the
waters,
pronounced
they,
a
Great
Waters;
and
the
Gods
saw
that
they
were
obeyed.
11 And
the
Gods
said:
Let
us
prepare
the
earth
to
bring
forth
a
grass;
the
herb
yielding
seed;
the
fruit
tree
yielding
fruit,
after
his
kind,
whose
seed
in
itself
yieldeth
its
own
likeness
upon
the
earth;
and
it
was
so,
even
as
they
ordered.
12 And
the
Gods
organized
the
a
earth
to
bring
forth
grass
from
its
own
seed,
and
the
herb
to
bring
forth
herb
from
its
own
seed,
yielding
seed
after
his
kind;
and
the
earth
to
bring
forth
the
tree
from
its
own
seed,
yielding
fruit,
whose
seed
could
only
bring
forth
the
same
in
itself,
after
his
kind;
and
the
Gods
saw
that
they
were
obeyed.
13 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
numbered
the
days;
from
the
evening
until
the
morning
they
called
night;
and
it
came
to
pass,
from
the
morning
until
the
evening
they
called
day;
and
it
was
the
third
time.
14 And
the
Gods
organized
the
a
lights
in
the
expanse
of
the
heaven,
and
caused
them
to
divide
the
day
from
the
night;
and
organized
them
to
be
for
signs
and
for
seasons,
and
for
days
and
for
years;
15 And
organized
them
to
be
for
lights
in
the
expanse
of
the
heaven
to
give
light
upon
the
earth;
and
it
was
so.
16 And
the
Gods
organized
the
two
great
lights,
the
a
greater
light
to
rule
the
day,
and
the
lesser
light
to
rule
the
night;
with
the
lesser
light
they
set
the
stars
also;
17 And
the
Gods
set
them
in
the
expanse
of
the
heavens,
to
give
light
upon
the
earth,
and
to
rule
over
the
day
and
over
the
night,
and
to
cause
to
divide
the
light
from
the
a
darkness.
18 And
the
Gods
watched
those
things
which
they
had
a
ordered
until
they
obeyed.
19 And
it
came
to
pass
that
it
was
from
evening
until
morning
that
it
was
night;
and
it
came
to
pass
that
it
was
from
morning
until
evening
that
it
was
day;
and
it
was
the
fourth
time.
20 And
the
Gods
said:
Let
us
prepare
the
waters
to
bring
forth
abundantly
the
moving
creatures
that
have
life;
and
the
fowl,
that
they
may
fly
above
the
earth
in
the
open
expanse
of
heaven.
21 And
the
Gods
prepared
the
waters
that
they
might
bring
forth
great
a
whales,
and
every
living
creature
that
moveth,
which
the
waters
were
to
bring
forth
abundantly
after
their
kind;
and
every
winged
fowl
after
their
kind.
And
the
Gods
saw
that
they
would
be
obeyed,
and
that
their
plan
was
good.
22 And
the
Gods
said:
We
will
bless
them,
and
cause
them
to
be
fruitful
and
multiply,
and
fill
the
waters
in
the
seas
or
a
great
waters;
and
cause
the
fowl
to
multiply
in
the
earth.
23 And
it
came
to
pass
that
it
was
from
evening
until
morning
that
they
called
night;
and
it
came
to
pass
that
it
was
from
morning
until
evening
that
they
called
day;
and
it
was
the
fifth
time.
24 And
the
Gods
prepared
the
earth
to
bring
forth
the
living
creature
after
his
kind,
cattle
and
creeping
things,
and
beasts
of
the
earth
after
their
kind;
and
it
was
so,
as
they
had
said.
25 And
the
Gods
organized
the
earth
to
bring
forth
the
beasts
after
their
kind,
and
cattle
after
their
kind,
and
every
thing
that
creepeth
upon
the
earth
after
its
kind;
and
the
Gods
saw
they
would
obey.
26 And
the
Gods
took
a
counsel
among
themselves
and
said:
Let
us
go
down
and
b
form
man
in
our
c
image,
after
our
likeness;
and
we
will
give
them
dominion
over
the
fish
of
the
sea,
and
over
the
fowl
of
the
air,
and
over
the
cattle,
and
over
all
the
earth,
and
over
every
creeping
thing
that
creepeth
upon
the
earth.
27 So
the
a
Gods
went
down
to
organize
man
in
their
own
b
image,
in
the
image
of
the
Gods
to
form
they
him,
male
and
female
to
form
they
them.
28 And
the
Gods
said:
We
will
bless
them.
And
the
Gods
said:
We
will
cause
them
to
be
fruitful
and
multiply,
and
replenish
the
earth,
and
subdue
it,
and
to
have
dominion
over
the
fish
of
the
sea,
and
over
the
fowl
of
the
air,
and
over
every
living
thing
that
moveth
upon
the
earth.
29 And
the
Gods
said:
Behold,
we
will
give
them
every
herb
bearing
seed
that
shall
come
upon
the
face
of
all
the
earth,
and
every
tree
which
shall
have
fruit
upon
it;
yea,
the
fruit
of
the
tree
yielding
seed
to
them
we
will
give
it;
it
shall
be
for
their
a
meat.
30 And
to
every
beast
of
the
earth,
and
to
every
fowl
of
the
air,
and
to
every
thing
that
creepeth
upon
the
earth,
behold,
we
will
give
them
life,
and
also
we
will
give
to
them
every
green
herb
for
meat,
and
all
these
things
shall
be
thus
organized.
31 And
the
Gods
said:
We
will
do
everything
that
we
have
said,
and
organize
them;
and
behold,
they
shall
be
very
obedient.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
it
was
from
evening
until
morning
they
called
night;
and
it
came
to
pass
that
it
was
from
morning
until
evening
that
they
called
day;
and
they
numbered
the
a
sixth
time.
