Strong's G2316 θεός (theos)

In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.

But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.

And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.

And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.

And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.

And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

And God said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.

And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so.

And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.

And God made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.

And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth,

and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so.

And God made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were good.

And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so.

And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were good.

And God said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth.

And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them.

And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.

And God said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food.

And God saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

And God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his works which he made.

And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.

This is the book of the generation of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth,

and every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it.

And God formed the man of dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.

And God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and placed there the man whom he had formed.

And God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of learning the knowledge of good and evil.

And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it.

And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden thou mayest freely eat,

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, let us make for him a help suitable to him.

And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it.

And God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and filled up the flesh instead thereof.

And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.

Now the serpent was the most crafty of all the brutes on the earth, which the Lord God made, and the serpent said to the woman, Wherefore has God said, Eat not of every tree of the garden?

but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

For God knew that in whatever day ye should eat of it your eyes would be opened, and ye would be as gods, knowing good and evil.

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the afternoon; and both Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of the garden.

And the Lord God called Adam and said to him, Adam, where art thou?

And the Lord God said to the woman, Why hast thou done this? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me and I ate.

And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this thou art cursed above all cattle and all the brutes of the earth, on thy breast and belly thou shalt go, and thou shalt eat earth all the days of thy life.

And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skin, and clothed them.

And God said, Behold, Adam is become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now lest at any time he stretch forth his hand, and take of the tree of life and eat, and so he shall live forever—

So the Lord God sent him forth out of the garden of Delight to cultivate the ground out of which he was taken.

And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God.

And Abel also brought of the firstborn of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts,

And the Lord God said to Cain, Why art thou become very sorrowful and why is thy countenance fallen?

And the Lord God said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother’s keeper?

And the Lord said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood cries to me out of the ground.

And the Lord God said to him, Not so, anyone that slays Cain shall suffer sevenfold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might slay him.

So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Eden.

And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enosh: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.

This is the genealogy of men in the day in which God made Adam; in the image of God he made him:

And Enoch was well-pleasing to God after his begetting Methuselah, two hundred years, and he begot sons and daughters.

And Enoch was well-pleasing to God, and was not found, because God translated him.

And he called his name Noah, saying, This one will cause us to cease from our works, and from the toils of our hands, and from the earth, which the Lord God has cursed.

that the sons of God having seen the daughters of men that they were beautiful, took to themselves wives of all whom they chose.

And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain among these men forever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore children to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown.

And the Lord God having seen that the wicked actions of men were multiplied upon the earth, and that every one in his heart was intently brooding over evil continually,

then God laid it to heart that he had made man upon the earth, and he pondered it deeply.

And God said, I will blot out man whom I have made from the face of the earth, even man with cattle, and reptiles with flying creatures of the sky, for I am grieved that I have made them.

But Noah found grace before the Lord God.

And these are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noah was well-pleasing to God.

But the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with iniquity.

And the Lord God saw the earth, and it was corrupted; because all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.

And the Lord God said to Noah, A period of all men is come before me; because the earth has been filled with iniquity by them, and, behold, I destroy them and the earth.

And Noah did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him, so did he.

And the Lord God said to Noah, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

And Noah did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.

pairs went in to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

And they that entered went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded Noah, and the Lord God shut the ark outside of him.

And God remembered Noah, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.

And the Lord God spoke to Noah, saying,

And Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt offering upon the altar.

And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not anymore curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore anymore smite all living flesh as I have done.

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it.

He that sheds man’s blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man.

And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

And the Lord God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations.

And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth.

And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, And Canaan shall be his bondservant.

May God make room for Japheth, And let him dwell in the habitations of Shem, And let Canaan be his servant.

He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nimrod the giant hunter before the Lord.

On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.

And God afflicted Pharaoh with great and severe afflictions, and his house, because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until thou come to Zoar.

But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.

And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with thine eyes, and behold from the place where thou now art northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth loaves and wine, and he was the priest of the most high God.

And he blessed Abram, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, who made heaven and earth,

and blessed be the most high God who delivered thine enemies into thy power. And Abram gave him the tithe of all.

And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I will stretch out my hand to the Lord the most high God, who made the heaven and the earth,

And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

And he said to him, I am God that brought thee out of the land of the Chaldeans, so as to give thee this land to inherit.

And Sarai said to Abram, I am injured by thee; I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and when I saw that she was with child, I was dishonored before her. The Lord judge between me and thee.

And she called the name of the Lord God who spoke to her, Thou art God who seest me; for she said, For I have openly seen him that appeared to me.

And Abram was ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am thy God, be well-pleasing before me, and be blameless.

And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying,

And I will establish my covenant between thee and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be thy God, and the God of thy seed after thee.

And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land wherein thou sojournest, even all the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.

And God said to Abraham, Thou also shalt fully keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee for their generations.

And God said to Abraham, Sarai thy wife—her name shall not be called Sarai, Sarah shall be her name.

And Abraham said to God, Let this Ishmael live before thee.

And God said to Abraham, Yea, behold, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to him and to his seed after him.

And he left off speaking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all his homeborn servants, and all those bought with money, and every male of the men in the house of Abraham, and he circumcised their foreskins in the time of that day, according as God spoke to him.

And God appeared to him by the oak of Mamre, as he sat by the door of his tent at noon.

Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to thee seasonably, and Sarah shall have a son.

And it came to pass that when God destroyed all the cities of the region round about, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when the Lord overthrew those cities in which Lot dwelt.

And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, thou diest for the woman, whom thou hast taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.

And God said to him in sleep, Yea, I knew that thou didst this with a pure heart, and I spared thee, so that thou shouldest not sin against me, therefore I suffered thee not to touch her.

And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness thou shalt perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.

And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.
