4004 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH, AND THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID. ON THE 1st DAY GOD CREATED LIGHT AND DARKNESS, WHICH HE CALLED DAY AND NIGHT. ON THE 2nd DAY GOD MADE THE FIRMAMENT, AND DIVIDED THE WATERS WHICH WERE UNDER IT, FROM THE WATERS WHICH WERE ABOVE IT. AND THE FIRMAMENT HE CALLED HEAVEN. ON THE 3rd DAY GOD GATHER`D TOGETHER Ye WATERS WHICH HE CALL`D SEA, & Ye DRY LAND HE CALL`D EARTH. ON THE 4th DAY GOD MADE TWO GREAT LIGHTS, THE SUN TO RULE THE DAY, AND THE MOON TO RULE THE NIGHT. HE MADE THE STARS ALSO. ON THE 5th DAY GOD CREATED THE FISHES OF THE SEA, AND EVERY WINGED FOWL OR WINGED CREATURE WHICH FLY ABOVE THE EARTH. ON THE 6th DAY GOD MADE THE BEASTS AND CATTLE & EVERY CREEPING THING WHICH CREEPETH UPON Ye EARTH. ON THE 7th DAY GOD RESTED AND BLESSED THE 7th DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT. AND THE LORD GOD FORM`D MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND BREATH`D INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE, AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL. IN THE IMAGE OF GOD CREATED HE HIM AND GAVE HIM DOMINION OVER ALL THE EARTH. AND THE LORD GOD PLANTED A GARDEN EASTWARD IN EDEN, AND THERE HE PUT THE MAN WHOM HE HAD FORMED, TO DRESS IT AND KEEP IT. |
