And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.

And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.

And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it.

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

And Cain had connection with his wife and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch: and he made a town, and gave the town the name of Enoch after his son.

And all the years of Kenan's life were nine hundred and ten; and he came to his end.

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

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 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 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.

And, awaking from his wine, Noah saw what his youngest son had done to him, and he said,

And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town.

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.

And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building.

Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.

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

And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.

Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?

And Abram, hearing that his brother's son had been made a prisoner, took a band of his trained men, three hundred and eighteen of them, sons of his house, and went after them as far as Dan.

And evil birds came down on the bodies, but Abram sent them away.

Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.

Then when the sun went down and it was dark, he saw a smoking fire and a flaming light which went between the parts of the bodies.

So after Abram had been living for ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, and gave her to Abram for his wife.

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

Then Abraham went down on his face, and laughing, said in his heart, May a man a hundred years old have a child? will Sarah, at ninety years old, give birth?

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;

I will go down now, and see if their acts are as bad as they seem from the outcry which has come to me; and if they are not, I will see.

If by chance there are fifty upright men in the town, will you give the place to destruction and not have mercy on it because of the fifty upright men?

And the Lord said, If there are fifty upright men in the town, I will have mercy on it because of them.

If by chance there are five less than fifty upright men, will you give up all the town to destruction because of these five? And he said, I will not give it to destruction if there are forty-five.

And he said, O let not the Lord be angry and I will say only one word more: by chance there may be ten there. And he said, I will have mercy because of the ten.

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.

But before they had gone to bed, the men of the town, all the men of Sodom, came round the house, young and old, from every part of the town;

For we are about to send destruction on this place, because a great outcry against them has come to the ears of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to put an end to the town.

And Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were married to his daughters, Come, let us go out of this place, for the Lord is about to send destruction on the town. But his sons-in-law did not take him seriously.

And when morning came, the angels did all in their power to make Lot go, saying, Get up quickly and take your wife and your two daughters who are here, and go, for fear that you come to destruction in the punishment of the town.

But while he was waiting, the men took him and his wife and his daughters by the hand, for the Lord had mercy on them, and put them outside the town.

This town, now, is near, and it is a little one: O, let me go there (is it not a little one?) so that my life may be safe.

And he said, See, I have given you your request in this one thing more: I will not send destruction on this town.

Go there quickly, for I am not able to do anything till you have come there. For this reason, the town was named Zoar.

Then the Lord sent fire and flaming smoke raining down from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah.

Did he not say to me himself, She is my sister? and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright heart and clean hands have I done this.

And God said to him in the dream, I see that you have done this with an upright heart, and I have kept you from sinning against me: for this reason I did not let you come near her.

Then Abimelech sent for Abraham, and said, What have you done to us? what wrong have I done you that you have put on me and on my kingdom so great a sin? You have done to me things which are not to be done.

And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.

But Abimelech said, I have no idea who has done this thing; you never gave me word of it, and I had no knowledge of it till this day.

Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,

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.

Now Ephron was seated among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite gave Abraham his answer in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those who came into his town, saying,

And Abraham went down on his face before the people of the land.

Became the property of Abraham before the eyes of the children of Heth and of all who came into the town.

And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor.

And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water.

See, I am waiting here by the water-spring; and the daughters of the town are coming out to get water:

Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham.

She was a very beautiful girl, a virgin, who had never been touched by a man: and she went down to the spring to get water in her vessel.

And she said, Take a drink, my lord: and quickly letting down her vessel onto her hand, she gave him a drink.

And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough.

And when the camels had had enough, the man took a gold nose-ring, half a shekel in weight, and two ornaments for her arms of ten shekels weight of gold;

And even while I was saying this to myself, Rebekah came out with her vessel on her arm; and she went down to the spring to get water; and I said to her, Give me a drink.

And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels.

And at these words, Abraham's servant went down on his face and gave praise to the Lord.

But her brother and her mother said, Let the girl be with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.

And they gave Rebekah their blessing, saying, O sister, may you be the mother of thousands and ten thousands; and may your seed overcome all those who make war against them.

And when Rebekah, looking up, saw Isaac, she got down from her camel,

Then the servant gave Isaac the story of all he had done.

And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge:

Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours.

And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.

And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

Let peoples be your servants, and nations go down before you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons go down before you: a curse be on everyone by whom you are cursed, and a blessing on those who give you a blessing.

Till the memory of what you have done to him is past and he is no longer angry: then I will send word for you to come back; are the two of you to be taken from me in one day?

And that Jacob had done as his father and mother said and had gone to Paddan-aram;

And coming to a certain place, he made it his resting-place for the night, for the sun had gone down; and he took one of the stones which were there, and putting it under his head he went to sleep in that place.

And he had a dream, and in his dream he saw steps stretching from earth to heaven, and the angels of God were going up and down on them.

And truly, I will be with you, and will keep you wherever you go, guiding you back again to this land; and I will not give you up till I have done what I have said to you.

And he gave that place the name of Beth-el, but before that time the town was named Luz.

And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?

Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.

After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.

Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.

Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care.

For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?

And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,

But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.

And he said, See how all the he-goats are banded and marked and coloured: for I have seen what Laban has done to you.

Then Jacob was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?

These twenty years I have been in your house; I was your servant for fourteen years because of your daughters, and for six years I kept your flock, and ten times was my payment changed.

Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.

Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.

And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.

And he himself, going before them, went down on his face to the earth seven times till he came near his brother.

Then the servants and their children came near, and went down on their faces.

So Jacob came safely from Paddan-aram to the town of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and put up his tents near the town.

Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.

Then his heart went out in love to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he said comforting words to her.

Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.

Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.

But the sons of Jacob gave a false answer to Shechem and Hamor his father, because of what had been done to Dinah their sister.
