'Earth' in the Bible

In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth

the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness is on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,

And God calleth to the dry land 'Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called 'Seas;' and God seeth that it is good.

And God saith, 'Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed is in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so.

And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed is in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that it is good;

and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:' and it is so.

and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,

And God saith, 'Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and fowl let fly on the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.'

And God blesseth them, saying, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl let multiply in the earth:'

And God saith, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind:' and it is so.

And God maketh the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God seeth that it is good.

And God saith, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.'

And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.'

And God saith, 'Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;

and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which is breath of life, every green herb is for food:' and it is so.

And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;

These are births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making earth and heavens;

and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground,

and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground.

when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee -- a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'

lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been -- every one finding me doth slay me.'

and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart.

And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled with violence.

And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth.

And God said to Noah, 'An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth.

And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which is a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that is in the earth doth expire.

also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;

for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.'

and Noah is a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth.

And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on the earth.

and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights.

they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird -- every wing.

And the deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;

and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.

And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which are under the whole heavens;

and expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth, among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all mankind;

And wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens; yea, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who are with him in the ark;

and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.

And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which are with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters are on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.

and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.

And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.

every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;

and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'

during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'

And God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;

and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every fowl of the heavens, on all that creepeth on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea -- into your hand they have been given.

And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.'

and with every living creature which is with you, among fowl, among cattle, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the ark -- to every beast of the earth.

My bow I have given in the cloud, and it hath been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;

and it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow hath been seen in the cloud,

and the bow hath been in the cloud, and I have seen it -- to remember the covenant age-during between God and every living creature among all flesh which is on the earth.'

And God saith unto Noah, 'This is a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth.'
