'Earth' in the Bible

At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters.

And God gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named Seas: and God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so.

And grass came up on the earth, and every plant producing seed of its sort, and every tree producing fruit, in which is its seed, of its sort: and God saw that it was good.

And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.

And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;

And God said, Let the waters be full of living things, and let birds be in flight over the earth under the arch of heaven.

And God gave them his blessing, saying, Be fertile and have increase, making all the waters of the seas full, and let the birds be increased in the earth.

And God said, Let the earth give birth to all sorts of living things, cattle and all things moving on the earth, and beasts of the earth after their sort: and it was so.

And God made the beast of the earth after its sort, and the cattle after their sort, and everything moving on the face of the earth after its sort: and God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.

And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.

And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your food:

And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.

And the heaven and the earth and all things in them were complete.

These are the generations of the heaven and the earth when they were made.

In the day when the Lord God made earth and heaven there were no plants of the field on the earth, and no grass had come up: for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to do work on the land.

But a mist went up from the earth, watering all the face of the land.

And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

And out of the earth the Lord made every tree to come, delighting the eye and good for food; and in the middle of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

And from the earth the Lord God made every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and took them to the man to see what names he would give them: and whatever name he gave to any living thing, that was its name.

And the Lord God said to the snake, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your life:

And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life.

With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.

So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which he was taken.

And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.

And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth.

And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;

No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.

You have sent me out this day from the face of the earth and from before your face; I will be a wanderer in flight over the earth, and whoever sees me will put me to death.

And he gave him the name of Noah, saying, Truly, he will give us rest from our trouble and the hard work of our hands, because of the earth which was cursed by God.

And after a time, when men were increasing on the earth, and had daughters,

There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.

And the Lord saw that the sin of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil.

And the Lord had sorrow because he had made man on the earth, and grief was in his heart.

And the Lord said, I will take away man, whom I have made, from the face of the earth, even man and beast and that which goes on the earth and every bird of the air; for I have sorrow for having made them.

And the earth was evil in God's eyes and full of violent ways.

And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth.

And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.

For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.

Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction.

And of the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their seed may still be living on the face of the earth.

For after seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, for the destruction of every living thing which I have made on the face of the earth.

And Noah was six hundred years old when the waters came flowing over all the earth.

Of clean beasts, and of beasts which are not clean, and of birds, and of everything which goes on the earth,

And after the seven days, the waters came over all the earth.

And rain came down on the earth for forty days and forty nights.

And with them, every sort of beast and cattle, and every sort of thing which goes on the earth, and every sort of bird.

And for forty days the waters were over all the earth; and the waters were increased so that the ark was lifted up high over the earth.

And the waters overcame everything and were increased greatly on the earth, and the ark was resting on the face of the waters.

And the waters overcame everything on the earth; and all the mountains under heaven were covered.

And destruction came on every living thing moving on the earth, birds and cattle and beasts and everything which went on the earth, and every man.

Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.

And the waters were over the earth a hundred and fifty days.

And God kept Noah in mind, and all the living things and the cattle which were with him in the ark: and God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters went down.

And the waters went slowly back from the earth, and at the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters were lower.

Noah sent out a raven, which went this way and that till the waters were gone from the earth.

And he sent out a dove, to see if the waters had gone from the face of the earth;

But the dove saw no resting-place for her foot, and came back to the ark, for the waters were still over all the earth; and he put out his hand, and took her into the ark.

And the dove came back at evening, and in her mouth was an olive-leaf broken off: so Noah was certain that the waters had gone down on the earth.

And in the six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters were dry on the earth: and Noah took the cover off the ark and saw that the face of the earth was dry.

And on the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.

Take out with you every living thing which is with you, birds and cattle and everything which goes on the earth, so that they may have offspring and be fertile and be increased on the earth.

And every beast and bird and every living thing of every sort which goes on the earth, went out of the ark.

And when the sweet smell came up to the Lord, he said in his heart, I will not again put a curse on the earth because of man, for the thoughts of man's heart are evil from his earliest days; never again will I send destruction on all living things as I have done.

While the earth goes on, seed time and the getting in of the grain, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will not come to an end.

And God gave his blessing to Noah and his sons, and said, Be fertile, and have increase, and make the earth full.

And the fear of you will be strong in every beast of the earth and every bird of the air; everything which goes on the land, and all the fishes of the sea, are given into your hands.

And now, be fertile and have increase; have offspring on the earth and become great in number.

And with every living thing with you, all birds and cattle and every beast of the earth which comes out of the ark with you.

And I will make my agreement with you; never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters; never again will the waters come over all the earth for its destruction.

I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth.

And whenever I make a cloud come over the earth, the bow will be seen in the cloud,

And the bow will be in the cloud, and looking on it, I will keep in mind the eternal agreement between God and every living thing on the earth.

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

These three were the sons of Noah and from them all the earth was peopled.

And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth.

And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan.

These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth after the great flow of waters.

And all the earth had one language and one tongue.

And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth.

And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth.

So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town.

So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.

To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.

And I will make your children like the dust of the earth, so that if the dust of the earth may be numbered, then will your children be numbered.

Now the valley of Siddim was full of holes of sticky earth; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were put to flight and came to their end there, but the rest got away to the mountain.

And blessing him, said, May the blessing of the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth, be on Abram:

But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have taken an oath to the Lord, the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth,

And Abram went down on his face on the earth, and the Lord God went on talking with him, and said,

And lifting up his eyes, he saw three men before him; and seeing them, he went quickly to them from the door of the tent, and went down on his face to the earth;

Seeing that Abraham will certainly become a great and strong nation, and his name will be used by all the nations of the earth as a blessing?

Let such a thing be far from you, to put the upright to death with the sinner: will not the judge of all the earth do right?

And at nightfall the two angels came to Sodom; and Lot was seated at the way into the town: and when he saw them he got up and came before them, falling down on his face to the earth.

And she went some distance away, about an arrow flight, and seating herself on the earth, she gave way to bitter weeping, saying, Let me not see the death of my child.

And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.

And take an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;

I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth;

Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.
