Genesis Chapter 1 Text and Audio

Genesis Chapter 1, the first chapter of the Bible, describes the creation of the world by God in six days and rests on the seventh day. It starts with the creation of light and darkness, and each day, God creates different aspects of the world, including the sky, land, sea, vegetation, celestial bodies (sun, moon, and stars), aquatic creatures, birds, land animals, and finally, humans, created in His own image. The chapter emphasizes the systematic and orderly process of creation, with God seeing everything He made as good. It concludes with God blessing the seventh day and making it holy, as He rested from all His work of creation.
