And God saw the light, that it was, good, and God divided the light, from the, darkness;

and God called the light, day, but the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening - and it was morning, one day.

And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a means of dividing, between waters and waters,

And God made the expanse, and it divided between the waters that were under the expanse and the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.

And God called the expanse, heavens. So it was evening - and it was morning, a, second day.

And God said - Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together, into one place, and let the dry - ground appear. And it was so.

And God called, the dry-ground, land, but the gathering together of the waters, called he seas. And God saw that it was good.

And God said - Let the land put-forth vegetation-herb yielding seed, fruit-tree, bearing fruit, after its kind, whose seed is within it on the land. And it was so,

And the land brought-forth vegetation - herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, whose seed is within it, after its kind, And God saw that it was good.

So it was evening - and it was morning, a third day.

yea let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.

and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

So it was evening - and it was morning, a fourth day.

And God created the great sea-monsters, - and every living soul that moveth - with which the waters swarmed after their kind and every winged bird - after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

So it was evening - and it was morning, a fifth day.

And God said - Let the land, bring forth, living soul, after its kind, tame-beast and creeping thing and wild-beast, of the land, after its kind. And it was so.

And God made the wild-beast of the land after its kind, and the tame-beast after its kind, and every creeping thing of the ground, after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

And God blessed them, and God said to them Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, - and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.

And God said - Lo! I have given to you - every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, - to you, shall it be, for food;

and to every living thing of the land - and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it wins so.

And God saw every thing which he had made, and lo! it was very good. So it was evening - and it was morning, the sixth day.

And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, - because therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had made.

Now, no bush of the field, as yet - was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, - because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;

And Yahweh God, caused to spring up, out of the ground, every tree pleasant to the sight and good for food, - and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

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

So Yahweh God took the man, - and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keeps it.

And Yahweh God laid command on the man, saying, - Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest eat;

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not cat of it, - for in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shelf die.

And Yahweh God said, It is, not good, that the man should remain alone, - I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.

Now Yahweh God had formed from the ground every living thing of the field and every bird of the heavens, which he brought in unto the man, that he might see what he should call it, - and, whatsoever the man should call it - any living soul, that, should be the name thereof.

And the man said, This, one, now, is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh! This, one shall be called Woman, for, out of a man, hath this one been taken.

Now, the serpent, was more crafty than any living thing of the field which Yahweh God had made, so he said unto the woman, Can it really be that God hath said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

And the woman said unto the serpent, - Of the fruit of the trees of the garden, we may eat;

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

For God doth know, that in the day ye eat thereof, then shall your eyes be opened, - and ye shall become like God, knowing good and evil.

And, when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was desirable to the eyes and the tree was pleasant to make one knowing, then took she of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and she gave to her husband also, along with her, and he did eat.

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.

And he said, Who told thee that, naked, thou wast? Of the tree whereof I commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?

And the man said, - The woman whom thou didst put with me, she, gave me of the tree, so I did eat.

Then said Yahweh God to the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, the serpent, deceived me, so I did eat.

Then said Yahweh God unto the serpent - Because thou hast done this, Accursed, art thou above every tame-beast, and above every wild-beast of the field, - on thy belly, shall thou go, and dust, shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

Unto the woman, he said, I will, increase, thy pain of pregnancy, In pain, shalt thou year children, - Yet, unto thy husband, shall be thy hinging, Though, he, rule over thee.

And, to the man, he said, Because thou didst hearken to the voice of thy wife, and so didst eat of the tree as to which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it, Accursed be the ground for thy sake, In pain, shalt thou eat of it, all the days of thy life;

Thorn also and thistle, shall it shoot forth to thee, - when thou hast come to eat of the herb of the field:

In the sweat of thy face, shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground, because therefrom, wast thou taken, - For, dust, thou art, And, unto dust, shalt thou return.

Then said Yahweh God - Lo! man, hath become like one of us, in respect of knowing good and evil, - Now, therefore, lest he thrust forth his hand, and take even of the tree of life, and eat, and live to times age-abiding, -

So it came to pass, after certain days, that Cain brought in of the fruit of the ground, a present to Yahweh:

but of Cain and his present, he approved not, - and it angered Cain greatly, and his countenance fell.

So then Yahweh said unto Cain, - Wherefore hath it angered thee, and wherefore hath thy countenance fallen?

Shall it not, if thou do right, be lifted up? But if thou do not right, at the entrance a sin-bearer is lying, - Unto thee, moreover, shall be his longing, though, thou, rule over him.

And Cain said unto Abel his brother Let us go into the field And it came to pass when they were in the field that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

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.

Though thou till the ground, it shall not go on to give its vigour to thee. A wanderer and a fugitive, shalt thou be in the earth.

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.

And Yahweh said to him - Not so, whosoever slayeth Cain seven - fold, shall it be avenged. So Yahweh set, for Cain, a sign, that none finding him should smite him.

And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bare Enoch, - Now it happened that he was building a city, so he called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

And Lamech took to himself two wives, - the name of the one, was Adah, and, the name of the second Zillah.

And Adah bare Jabal, - he, was father of such as dwell in tents, and have cattle;

Then said Lamech to his wives, Adah and Zillah! hear ye my voice, Ye wives of Lamech! give ear to my tale, For a man, have I slain in dealing my wounds, Yea, a youth, in smiting my blows:

and the days of Adam, after he begat Seth, were eight hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters.

and Seth lived, after he begat Enosh, eight hundred and seven years, - and begat sons and daughters:

and Enosh lived after he begat Kenan, eight hundred and fifteen years, - and begat sons and daughters;

and Kenan lived after he begat Mahalalel, eight hundred and forty years, - and begat sons and daughters;

and Mahalalel lived after he begat Jared, eight hundred and thirty years, - and begat sons and daughters;

and all the days of Mahalalel were, eight hundred and ninety-five years, - and he died.

and Jared lived after he begat Enoch, eight hundred years, - and begat sons and daughters;

And it came to pass when men had begun to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters had been born to them,

And Yahweh said - My spirit shall not rule in man to times age - abiding, for that, he also, is flesh, - Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

and it grieved Yahweh, that he had made man in the earth, - and he took sorrow unto his heart.

And God beheld the earth, and lo! it had corrupted itself, - surely all flesh had corrupted its way, on the earth.

Make for thee an ark of timbers of gopher, Grooms, shalt thou make with the ark, - and - thou shalt cover it within and without with pitch.

And, this, is how thou shalt make it, - three hundred cubits, the length of the ark, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and thirty cubits the height thereof.

A place for light, shalt thou make to the ark and to a cubit, shalt thou finish it upwards, and the opening of the ark - in the side thereof, shalt thou put, - with lower, second and third stories, shalt thou make it.

But thou, take to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it unto thee, - and it shall be for thee and for them for food.

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.

And it came to pass, in the seven days, - that the waters of the flood, came on the earth.

(And it came to pass that the heavy rain was on the earth, - forty days and forty nights.)

And it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth, - and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high above the earth,

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 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 it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made;

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

Then stayed he yet seven days more, - and, again sent forth the dove out of the ark.

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 he stayed yet seven days more, - and sent forth the dove, but she returned not again unto him any more.

So it came to pass in the six hundred and first year at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters had dried up from off the earth, - and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked and lo! the face of the ground was dried.

Come forth out of the ark, - thou and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy song wives with thee.

All the living creatures, all that move along, and all birds, and all that moveth along over the earth - by their families, came forth out of the ark.

As for every moving thing that hath life, yours, shall it be, for food, - Like the green herb, have I given you all things.

Yet flesh with the life thereof, the bleed thereof, shall ye not eat;

And surely your blood, of your lives, will I require, From the hand of every living creature, will I require it, - and from the hand of man From the hand of each ones brother, will I require the life of man:

and with every living soul that is with you, of birds, of tame-beasts and of all wild-beasts of the earth that are with you, - of all coming forth out of the ark, even to all wild-beasts of the earth;

My bow, have I set in the cloud, - and it shall be for a sign of a covenant, betwixt me and the earth;

and it shall be when I draw a veil of cloud over the earth, - and the bow in the cloud appeareth,

so the bow shall be in the cloud, - and I will behold it, to remember an age-abiding covenant, between God, and every living soul among all flesh that is on the earth.

And the sons of Noah who came forth out of the ark, were - Shem and Ham and Japheth, - now, Ham, was the father of Canaan.

And Shem and Japheth took a mantle, and put it on the shoulder of them both and went backwards, and covered the shame of their father, but their faces were backwards, and the shame of their father, saw they not.

And Noah awoke from his wine, - and came to know what his youngest sore had done to him.

he, became a hero of hunting before Yahweh, for this cause, it is said. Like Nimrod, a hero of hunting before Yahweh.
