1 When, at the beginning of all things,Elohiym selected, cut and formed, and created the heavens above and the earthbeneath out feet. 2 the earth beneath our feet was a wasted,desolate and worthless thing, an undistinguishable vacuum. Darkness obscured its surging mass ofwater. When it was in this condition,the Spirit of Elohiym, the unsubantiatable breath of God brooded over thiswatery void.
3 And Elohiym declared: Light!
And illumination—bright and clear—appeared. 4 Elohiym observed Light and sawthat it met His satisfaction. Then Heseparated the light from the darkness. 5And Elohiym addressed Light as “Day”, and the darkness He addressed as“Night”. There was an evening and amorning and together they became the first day.

24 And Elohiym declared: dry ground, bringforth breathing creatures of various kinds and species, strong, fresh, andalive! Bring forth large animals—quadrupeds—likecattle and such; and reptiles and things that creep; and various breathingcreatures of the earth in their various kinds and species. And it was so.
25 Elohiym made all the breathing things ofthe earth in their various specifies of quadrupeds, and all the various kindsof creeping things and reptiles on the earth, and Elohiym saw it all andobserved that it was all done well.
26 And Elohiym declared:
We will make human beings in ourresemblance as a representation of us. An illusion to resemble us in ourcharacter and natures. they will havelegal power and authority over the fish of the seas and the birds that fly inthe sky above, and all the animals, and over absolutely all the earth and overabsolutely all reptiles and creeping things that swarm, glide, and crawl on theearth.
27 So Elohiym crafted and formed the humanspecies as a spirit or phantom to resemble Him and represent Him, patterningthem after Himself, Elohiym fashioned and created them. He fashioned them as male and female. 28 And Elohiym blessed them andgave them these instructions:
Bear fruit, increase, multiplyabundantly so that your children will fill the entire earth and by doing so canconquer it. Your rule extends over thefish of the sea and over the birds in the air, and over every breathingcreature that glides, crawls, swarms, and creeps on the earth.
