but, a vapour, went up from the earth, - and watered all the face of the ground.

Now, a river, was coming forth out of Eden, to water the garden, - and, from thence, it parted, and became four heads,

And Yahweh God builded the rib which he had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her in unto the man.

Then heard they the sound of Yahweh God, walking to and fro in the garden at the breeze of the day, - so he hid himself - the man with his wife, from the face of Yahweh God, amid the trees of the garden.

So Yahweh God put him forth from the garden of Eden, - to till the ground wherefrom he had been taken.

And he said, What hast thou done? With a voice, the shed-blood of thy brother is crying out to me from the ground,

Now therefore, accursed, art thou, - from the ground which hath opened her mouth, to receive the shed-blood of thy brother at thy hand.

Lo! thou has driven me out, this day, from off the face of the ground And from thy face, shall I be hid, So shall I become a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth. And it shall come to pass, whosoever findeth me, will slay me.

For in seven days more, I, am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, - so will I wipe out all the living things which I have made, from off the face of the ground.

So Noah entered, and his sons and his wife and his sons wives with him into the ark, - from before the waters of the flood,

Thus was wiped out all that existed on the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, thus were they wiped out from the earth, - so that there was left - only Noah and they that were with him in the ark.

and the fountains of the roaring-deep were shut, and the windows of the heavens, - and the heavy rain was restrained from the heavens;

and the waters returned from off the earth they went on returning, - and so the waters decreased at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

and sent forth a raven, - and it kept going forth and returning, until the drying up of the waters from off the earth.

And he sent forth a dove from him, - to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face of the ground;

And the dove came in unto him at eventide, and lo! a newly sprouted olive-leaf, in her mouth, - so Noah knew that the waters had abated from off the earth.

And it came to pass that the boundary of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou enterest in towards Gerar unto Gaza, - as thou enterest in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, as far as Lasha.

And it came to pass that their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou enterest in towards Sephar, the mountain of the east.

These, are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations in their nations, and from these, were dispersed the nations in the earth after the flood.

Then said Yahweh: Lo! one people and one manner of speech, have they all, this, then is what they have begun to do, - now, therefore, nothing will be withholden from them which they may plan to do.

So then Sarai said unto Abram Behold, I pray thee, Yahweh hath restrained me, from bearing, go in I pray thee unto, my handmaid, peradventure I may be built up from, her, And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

And Abram said unto Sarai, Lo! thy handmaid, is in thy hand, do to her what is good in thine eyes. So Sarai humbled her, and she fled from her face.

and said, - O My Lord! if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, do not I pray thee pass on from thy servant.

And the men rose up from hence, and looked out over the face of Sodom, - Abraham also going with them to set them on their way.

Now, Yahweh, had said, - Am I going to hide from Abraham what I do,

And the men turned from thence, and went their way, towards Sodom, - but, Yahweh was yet standing before Abraham.

Ere yet they lay down, the men of the city - the men of Sodom, had come round against the house, from youth even unto age, - all the people from every quarter,

And so it came to pass when the Gods caused me to wander from my fathers house, that I said to her, This, is thy lovingkindness, wherewith thou shalt deal with me, - Into what-soever place we enter, say of me My brother, is he.

For Yahweh, had restrained from bearing, every female a of the house of Abimelech, - because of Sarah, wife of Abraham.

Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to him - anything at all, - for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from me.

And Abraham rose up from over the face of his dead, - and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying;

A sojourner and settler, am I with you, - Give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, That I may bury my dead, from before me.

Hear us, my lord! A prince of God, art thou in our midst, In the choice of our buryingplaces, bury thy dead, - Not, a man from among us his, burying-place, will withhold from thee, from burying thy dead.

And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman may not be willing to follow me into this land, - May I take back thy son, into the land from whence thou earnest?

Yahweh, God of the heavens, and God of the earth, who took me out of the house of my father, and out of the land of my kindred, and, who spake to me, and who sware to me, saying, To thy seed, will I give this land, he, will send his messenger before thee, so shalt then take a wife for my son from thence.

But if unwilling be the woman to follow thee, then shalt thou be clear from this mine oath, - Only my son, shalt thou not take back thither

Then, shalt thou clear thyself from mine oath, for thou shalt go in unto my kindred, - and, if they will not grant her unto thee, then shalt thou be clear from mine oath.
