Genesis 1:1-31 Divine name highlighted
1) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2)
The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God
was moving over the surface of the waters. 3) Then God said, "Let there
be light"; and there was light. 4) God saw that the light was good; and
God separated the light from the darkness. 5) God
called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one
day. 6) Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters,
and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7) God made the expanse,
and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and
it was so. 8) God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and
there was morning, a second day. 9) Then God said, "Let the waters below
the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. 10)
God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas;
and God saw that it was good. 11) Then God said,
"Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after
their kind with seed in them"; and it was so. 12) The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding
seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God
saw that it was good. 13) There was evening and there was morning, a third day. 14) Then
God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day
from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; 15) and let them
be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. 16)
God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser
light to govern the night; He made the stars also. 17) God placed them in
the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18) and to govern the day and the night, and
to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. 19)
There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. 20) Then God said,
"Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse
of the heavens." 21) God created the great sea monsters and every living
creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind;
and God saw that it was good. 22) God blessed
them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the
earth." 23) There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. 24) Then God
said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts
of the earth after their kind"; and it was so. 25) God made the beasts of
the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after
its kind; and God saw that it was good. 26) Then God
said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the
sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creeps on the earth." 27) God created man in His own image, in the
image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28) God
blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth,
and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing
that moves on the earth." 29) Then God said, "Behold, I have given you
every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding
seed; it shall be food for you; 30) and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky
and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and
it was so. 31) God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Genesis 2:1-25 Divine name highlighted
1) Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. 2) By the seventh
day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day
from all His work which He had done. 3) Then God blessed the seventh day
and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created
and made. 4) This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day
that the LORD God made earth and heaven. 5) Now no shrub of the field was
yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God
had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground. 6) But a mist used
to rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground. 7) Then the LORD God
formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living being. 8) The LORD God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden;
and there He placed the man whom He had formed. 9) Out of the ground the LORD God
caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the
midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10) Now a river flowed out
of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. 11) The name of
the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12) The gold
of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13) The name of the second river
is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush. 14) The name of the third river is Tigris; it
flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 15) Then the LORD God
took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. 16) The
LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat
freely; 17) but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day
that you eat from it you will surely die." 18) Then the LORD God said,
"It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him." 19) Out of
the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the
sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living
creature, that was its name. 20) The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky,
and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. 21)
So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He
took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22) The LORD God
fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 23)
The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because
she was taken out of Man." 24) For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and
be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25) And the man and his wife were both
naked and were not ashamed.
