Then God said, "Let there be light";

Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."

Then God said, "Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear";

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; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth "; and it was so.

hen 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."

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.

and there was light.

And 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.

and it was so.

And God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; the stars also. And God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness;

And 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 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 called the expanse heaven.

And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas;

And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on heearth."

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. And 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.

Creation statistics: 7 days of Creation. 7 times God (Elochim) “saw”. (ELOHIM ET HA'OR) is found - First time God is described as 'seeing'. In the creation story " God saw" is repeated seven times. Sefer Yetzira explains that these seven repetitions parallel the seven double letters( letters which can be pronounced hard or soft ) and the seven days of the week. This first mention of Saw (and fourth mention of ELOHIM) is therefore the root of the first double letter which is Bet (and/or Vet). It is according to Luria, the path between Chachma and Chesed. 35 times God (Elochim) is found. 7 times "On the Earth (Hebrew only)" is found. 21 times "Earth, earth, or land" are found. 7 times "heaven(s), sky (excluding “heavenly sky”)" are found. 7 times "Good" is found. 7 times "Water(s) (beneath the heavens)" are found. 7 times "flying, fly, or birds" are found. 7 times "crawls, walks, land animals" are found. 14 times "day or days" are found.

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."

And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their kind;

And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

And 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." 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; 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.
