Genesis 1-50Rendered into E-Prime by Dr. David F. Maas
NASB Copyright 1995 by The
Lockman FoundationE-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all ³to be´ verbs (is,are were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the ³is of identity´ (instead of ³John isa teacher,´ we use ³John teaches.´ ), the ³is of predication´ (instead of ³The apple is sweet,´ weuse ³The apple tastes sweet.´), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of ³Blessed is the man,´ we use ³God blesses the man.´ ). By performing these linguisticprocedures, we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.
Th
e Creation
1(A)
In the beginning
(B)
God
(C)
created the heavens and the earth.
2
The earth appeared
[a](D)
formless and void, and
(E)
darkness covered overthe surface of the deep, and
(F)
the Spirit of God moved over the surface of the waters.
3
Then
(H)
God said, "Let light come"; and light came.
4
God saw that the light appeared
(I)
good; and God
(J)
separated the lightfrom the darkness.
5(K)
God called the light day, and the darkness He called night And
(L)
thereHe marked evening and there He marked morning, one day.
6
Then God said, "Let there emerge an
(M)
expanse in the midst of the waters,and let it separate the waters from the waters."
7
God made the
[c]
expanse, and separated
(N)
the waters which located belowthe expanse from the waters
(O)
which located above the expanse; and itcame to pass.
8
God called the expanse heaven. And there He marked evening and thereHe marked morning, a second day.
9
Then God said, "
(P)
Let the waters below the heavens gather into one place,and let
(Q)
the dry land appear"; and it came to pass.
10
God called the dry land earth, and the
(R)
gathering of the waters He calledseas; and God saw that it seemed good.
11
Then God said, "Let the earth sprout
(S)
vegetation, plants yielding seed,and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them";and it came to pass.
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 thatit appeared good.
13
There He marked evening and there He marked morning, a third day.
14
Then God said, "Let there become
(T)
lights in the
(U)
expanse of theheavens to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as
(V)
signsand for
(W)
seasons and for days and years;
15
and let them serve for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light onthe earth"; and it came to pass.
16
God made the two great lights, the
(X)
greater light to govern the day, andthe lesser light to govern the night; He made
(Y)
the stars also.
17(Z)
God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on theearth,
18
and to
(AA)
govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from thedarkness; and God saw that it appeared good.
19
There He marked evening and there He marked morning, a fourth day.
20
Then God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, andlet birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens."
21
God created
(AB)
the great sea monsters and every living creature thatmoves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every wingedbird after its kind; and God saw that it appeared good.
22
God blessed them, saying, "Become fruitful and multiply, and fill thewaters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."
23
There He marked evening and there He marked morning, a fifth day.
24(AC)
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after theirkind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind";and it came to pass.
25
God made the
(AD)
beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle aftertheir kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and Godsaw that it appeared good.
26
Then God said, "Let
(AE)
Us make
(AF)
man in Our image, according to Ourlikeness; and let them
(AG)
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 creepingthing that creeps on the earth."
27
God created man
(AH)
in His own image, in the image of God He createdhim;
(AI)
male and female He created them.
28
God blessed them; and God said to them, "
(AJ)
Become fruitful andmultiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the seaand over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on theearth."
29
Then God said, "Behold,
(AK)
I have given you every plant yielding seedthat grows on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruityielding seed; it shall serve as food for you;
30
and
(AL)
to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and toevery thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every greenplant for food"; and it came to pass.
31
God saw all that He had made, and behold, it seemed very
(AM)
good. Andthere He marked evening and there He marked morning, the sixth day.
