Tree Of Life Version

Genesis 1:15-24 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

15. They will be for lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the land.” And it happened so.

16. Then God made the two great lights—the greater light for dominion over the day, and the lesser light as well as the stars for dominion over the night.

17. God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine on the land

18. and to have dominion over the day and over the night and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

19. So there was evening and there was morning—a fourth day.

20. Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures! Let flying creatures fly above the land across the expanse of the sky.”

21. Then God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that crawls, with which the water swarms, according to their species, as well as every winged flying creature, according to their species. And God saw that it was good.

22. Then God blessed them by saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the water in the seas. Let the flying creatures multiply on the land.”

23. So there was evening and there was morning—a fifth day.

24. Then God said, “Let the land bring forth living creatures according to their species—livestock, crawling creatures and wild animals, according to their species.” And it happened so.
