And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.

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 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.

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.

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.

But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.

But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.

And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you:

And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.

And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you?

To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.

Thorns and waste plants will come up, and the plants of the field will be your food;

And all the years of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty: and he came to his end.

And all the years of Seth's life were nine hundred and twelve: and he came to his end.

And all the years of Enosh were nine hundred and five: and he came to his end.

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

And all the years of Mahalalel's life were eight hundred and ninety-five: and he came to his end.

And all the years of Jared's life were nine hundred and sixty-two: and he came to his end.

And all the years of Methuselah's life were nine hundred and sixty-nine: and he came to his end.

And all the years of Lamech's life were seven hundred and seventy-seven: and he came to his end.

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.

But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.

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

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

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open;

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

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.

Everything on the dry land, in which was the breath of life, came to its end.

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 on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

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 after seven days more, he sent the dove out again, but she did not come back to him.

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 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.

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

all the years of his life were nine hundred and fifty: and he came to his end.

From these came the nations of the sea-lands, with their different families and languages.

And Pathrusim and Casluhim and Caphtorim, from whom came the Philistines.

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 it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place.

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.

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.

And death came to Haran when he was with his father Terah in the land of his birth, Ur of the Chaldees.

And Terah took Abram, his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram and they went out from Ur of the Chaldees, to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and were there for some time.

And all the years of Terah's life were two hundred and five: and Terah came to his end in Haran.

And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.

And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.

Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;

And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.

And Abram went up out of Egypt with his wife and all he had, and Lot with him, and they came in to the South.

And travelling on from the South, he came to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been before, between Beth-el and Ai;

Come, go through all the land from one end to the other for I will give it to you.

And Abram, moving his tent, came and made his living-place by the holy tree of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and made an altar there to the Lord.

Now in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

All these came together in the valley of Siddim (which is the Salt Sea).

Then they came back to En-mishpat (which is Kadesh), making waste all the country of the Amalekites and of the Amorites living in Hazazon-tamar.

Against Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar: four kings against the five.

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 one who had got away from the fight came and gave word of it to Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the holy tree of Mamre, the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and Aner, who were friends of Abram.

After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Have no fear, Abram: I will keep you safe, and great will be your reward.

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.

But I will be the judge of that nation whose servants they are, and they will come out from among them with great wealth.

And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.

And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant, where have you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am running away from Sarai, my master's wife.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord came to him, and said, I am God, Ruler of all; go in my ways and be upright in all things,

I will make you very fertile, so that nations will come from you and kings will be your offspring.

Now the Lord came to him by the holy tree of Mamre, when he was seated in the doorway of his tent in the middle of the day;

And let me get a bit of bread to keep up your strength, and after that you may go on your way: for this is why you have come to your servant. And they said, Let it be so.

And he said, I will certainly come back to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife will have a son. And his words came to the ears of Sarah who was at the back of the tent-door.

Is there any wonder which the Lord is not able to do? At the time I said, in the spring, I will come back to you, and Sarah will have a child.

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.

And Abraham came near, and said, Will you let destruction come on the upright with the sinners?

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 he said, My masters, come now into your servant's house and take your rest there for the night, and let your feet be washed; and early in the morning you may go on your way. And they said, Not so, but we will take our night's rest in the street.

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;

And crying out to Lot, they said, Where are the men who came to your house this night? Send them out to us, so that we may take our pleasure with them.

See now, I have two unmarried daughters; I will send them out to you so that you may do to them whatever seems good to you: only do nothing to these men, for this is why they have come under the shade of my roof.

And they said, Give way there. This one man, they said, came here from a strange country, and will he now be our judge? now we will do worse to you than to them; and pushing violently against Lot, they came near to get the door broken in.

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.

And when they had put them out, he said, Go for your life, without looking back or waiting in the lowland; go quickly to the mountain or you will come to destruction.

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

The sun was up when Lot came to Zoar.

So it came about that when God sent destruction on the towns of the lowland, he kept his word to Abraham, and sent Lot safely away when he put an end to the towns where he was living.

Come, let us give our father much wine, and we will go into his bed, so that we may have offspring by our father,

And the younger had a son and gave him the name Ben-ammi: from him come the children of Ammon to this day.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?

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.

So now, give the man back his wife, for he is a prophet, and let him say a prayer for you, so your life may be safe: but if you do not give her back, be certain that death will come to you and all your house.

And the Lord came to Sarah as he had said and did to her as he had undertaken.
