TOJB2011 ▾BereshisBereshis 11In the beginning Elohim bara hashomayim (the heavens) and haaretz (the earth) .2And the earth was tohu vavohu (without form, and void) ; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Ruach Elohim was hovering upon the face of the waters.3And Elohim said, Let there be light: and there was light.4And Elohim saw the light, that it was tov (good) ; and Elohim divided the ohr (light) from the choshech (darkness) .5And Elohim called the light Yom (Day) , and the darkness He called Lailah (Night) . And the erev (evening) and the boker (morning) were Yom Echad (Day One, the First Day) .6And Elohim said, Let there be a raki'a (expanse, dome, firmament) in the midst of the mayim (waters) , and let it divide the mayim from the mayim.7And Elohim made the raki'a, and divided the waters under the raki'a from the waters which were above the raki'a; and it was so.8And Elohim called the raki'a Shomayim (Heaven) . And the erev and the boker were Yom Sheni (Day Two, the Second Day) .9And Elohim said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the yabashah (dry land) appear; and it was so.10And Elohim called the yabashah Eretz (Earth) ; and the mikveh (gathering together of the waters) called He Seas; and Elohim saw that it was tov.11And Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth vegetation, the herb yielding zera (seed) , and the fruit tree yielding pri (fruit) after its kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth; and it was so.12And the earth brought forth vegetation, and herb yielding zera (seed) after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after its kind; and Elohim saw that it was tov (good) .13And the erev and the boker were Yom Shlishi (Day Three, the Third Day) .14And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the raki'a of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for otot (signs) , and for mo'adim (seasons) , and for yamim (days) , and shanim (years) ;15And let them be for lights in the raki'a of the heaven to give light upon the earth; and it was so.16And Elohim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; He made the kokhavim (stars) also.17And Elohim set them in the raki'a of the heaven to give light upon the earth,18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and Elohim saw that it was tov.19And the erev and the boker were Yom Revi'i (Day Four, the Fourth Day) .20And Elohim said, Let the waters bring forth an abundance of living creatures, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open raki'a of heaven.21And Elohim created great sea creatures, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth in abundance, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind; and Elohim saw that it was tov.22And Elohim blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.23And the erev and the boker were Yom Chamishi (Day Five, the Fifth Day) .24And G-d said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind; and it was so.25And G-d made the beast of the earth after its kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind; and G-d saw that it was tov.26And G-d said, Let Us make man in Our tzelem, after Our demut: and let them have 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 ha'aretz (the earth) .27So G-d created humankind in His own tzelem, in the tzelem Elohim (image of G-d) created He him; zachar (male) and nekevah (female) created He them.28And G-d blessed them, and G-d said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it: and 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.29And G-d said, Hinei, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of kol ha'aretz (all the earth) , and every etz (tree) , in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food; and it was so.31And G-d saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was tov me'od (very good) . And the erev and the boker were Yom Shishi (Day Six, the Sixth Day) .Bereshis 2
