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

And God said, "Let there be a firmament between the waters, and let it divide the waters asunder."

Then God made the firmament, and parted the waters which were under the firmament, from the waters that were above the firmament: And it was so.

And God said, "Let the waters that are under heaven gather themselves unto one place, that the dry land may appear." And it came so to pass.

And God called the dry land "the earth" and the gathering together of waters called he "the sea." And God saw that it was good.

And God said, "Let the earth bring forth herb and grass that sow seed, and fruitful trees that bear fruit, every one in his kind, having their seed in themselves, upon the earth." And it came so to pass.

And the earth brought forth herb and grass sowing seed, every one in his kind, and trees bearing fruit and having their seed in themselves, every one in his kind. And God saw that it was good:

And let them be lights in the firmament of heaven, to shine upon the earth." And so it was.

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

And God created great whales and all manner of creatures that live and move, which the waters brought forth in their kinds, and all manner of feathered fowls in their kinds. And God saw that it was good:

And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures in their kinds: cattle and worms and beasts of the earth in their kinds." And so it came to pass.

And God made the beasts of the earth in their kinds, and cattle in their kinds, and all manner worms of the earth in their kinds: and God saw that it was good.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Grow and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over all the beasts that move on the earth.

and for all beasts of the earth, and unto all fowls of the air, and unto all that creepeth on the earth wherein is life, that they may have all manner herbs and grass for to eat." And even so it was.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; for in it he rested from all his works which he had created and made.

and all the shrubs of the field before they were in the earth. And all the herbs of the field before they sprang: for the LORD God had yet sent no rain upon the earth, neither was there yet any man to till the earth.

But there arose a mist out of the ground and watered all the face of the earth.

And the LORD God made to spring out of the earth, all manner trees beautiful to the sight and pleasant to eat; and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

And there sprung a river out of Eden to water the garden, and thence divided itself, and grew into four principal waters.

The name of the one is Pishon; he it is that compasseth all the land of Havilah, where gold groweth.

And the LORD God took Adam and put him in the garden of Eden, to dress it and to keep it.

And the LORD God commanded Adam, saying, "Of all the trees of the garden see thou eat:

But of the tree of knowledge of good and bad see that thou eat not: For even the same day thou eatest of it, thou shalt surely die.

And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone. I will make him a helper to bear him company."

And after that the LORD God had made of the earth all manner beasts of the field, and all manner fowls of the air, he brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. And as Adam called all manner living beasts: even so are their names.

Then the LORD God cast a slumber on Adam, and he slept. And then he took out one of his ribs, and in stead thereof he filled up the place with flesh.

And the LORD God made of the rib which he took out of Adam, a woman, and brought her unto Adam.

But the serpent was subtler than all the beasts of the field which the LORD God had made; and said unto the woman, "Ah sir, that God hath said, ye shall not eat of all manner trees in the garden."

And the woman said unto the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees in the garden we may eat,

but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, said God, see that ye eat not, and see that ye touch it not: lest ye die."

but God doth know, that whensoever ye should eat of it, your eyes should be opened and ye should be as God and know both good and evil."

And the woman saw that it was a good tree to eat of, and lusty unto the eyes, and a pleasant tree for to make wise. And took of the fruit of it and ate, and gave unto her husband also with her, and he ate.

And he said, "Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, of which I bade thee that thou shouldest not eat?"

And Adam answered, "The woman which thou gavest to bear me company, she took me of the tree, and I ate."

And the LORD God said unto the woman, "Wherefore didst thou so?" And the woman answered, "The serpent deceived me and I ate."

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, "Because thou hast so done, most cursed be thou of all cattle and of all beasts of the field. Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all days of thy life.

Moreover, I will put hatred between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. And that seed shall tread thee on the head, and thou shalt tread it on the heel."

And unto Adam he said, "Forasmuch as thou hast obeyed the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying 'See thou eat not thereof' cursed be the earth for thy sake. In sorrow shalt thou eat thereof all days of thy life:

and it shall bear thorns and thistles unto thee. And thou shalt eat the herbs of the field:

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return unto the earth whence thou wast taken: for earth thou art, and unto earth shalt thou return."

And the LORD God said, "Lo, Adam is become as it were one of us, in knowledge of good and evil. But now lest he stretch forth his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat and live ever -"

and the LORD God cast him out of the garden of Eden, to till the earth whence he was taken.

And he cast Adam out, and set at the entering of the garden Eden, Cherubim with a naked sword moving in and out, to keep the way to the tree of life.

And it fortuned, in process of time, that Cain brought of the fruit of the earth an offering unto the LORD.

And the LORD said unto Cain, "Why art thou angry, and why lowerest thou? Knowest thou not, if thou dost well thou shalt receive it?

But and if thou dost evil, by and by thy sin lieth open in the door. Notwithstanding, let it be subdued unto thee, and see thou rule it."

And he said, "What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood cryeth unto me out of the earth.

And Cain said unto the LORD, "My sin is greater, than that it may be forgiven.

Behold, thou castest me out this day from off the face of the earth, and from thy sight must I hide myself, and I must be a vagabond and a renegade upon the earth: Moreover whosoever findeth me, will kill me."

And Cain went out from the face of the LORD, and dwelt in the land Nod, on the east side of Eden.

And Cain lay with his wife, which conceived and bare Enoch. And he was building a city and called the name of it after the name of his son, Enoch.

And Lamech took him two wives: the one was called Adah, and the other Zillah.

And Ada bare Jabal; of whom came they that dwell in tents and possess cattle.

Then said Lamech unto his wives Adah and Zillah, "Hear my voice ye wives of Lamech, and hearken unto my words, for I have slain a man and wounded myself, and have slain a young man, and got myself stripes.

Adam also lay with his wife yet again, and she bare a son and called his name Seth: "For God," said she, "hath given me another son for Abel whom Cain slew."

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

And after he had begot Enos he lived eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Enos, after he begat Kenan, lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:

And Kenan, after he had begot Mahalalel, lived eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:

And Mahalalel, after he had begot Jared, lived eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:

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

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

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply upon the earth and had begot them daughters,

And the LORD said, "My spirit shall not always strive with man, for they are flesh. Nevertheless I will give them yet space, a hundred and twenty years."

And said, "I will destroy mankind which I have made, from off the face of the earth: both man, beast, worm and fowl of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them."

But yet Noah found grace in the sight of the LORD.

And God looked upon the earth, and lo it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

Make thee an ark of pine tree, and make chambers in the ark, and pitch it, within and without, with pitch.

And of this fashion shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, and the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

A window shalt thou make above in the ark. And within a cubit compass shalt thou finish it. And the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side of it: and thou shalt make it with three lofts - one above another.

"And of all that liveth, whatsoever flesh it be, shalt thou bring into the ark, of every thing a pair, to keep them alive with thee.

And take unto thee of all manner of meat that may be eaten and lay it up in store by thee, that it may be meat both for thee and for them."

And they came unto Noah into the ark by couples, of all flesh that had breath of life in it.

And the flood came forty days and forty nights upon the earth, and the water increased and bare up the ark and it was lift up from off the earth.

so that all that had the breath of life in the nostrils of it, throughout all that was on dry land, died.

and sent forth a raven, which went out, ever going and coming again, until the waters were dried up upon the earth.

Then sent he forth a dove from him, to wete whether the waters were fallen from off the earth.

And when the dove could find no resting place for her foot, she returned to him again unto the ark, for the waters were upon the face of all the earth. And he put out his hand and took her and pulled her to him into the ark.

And he abode yet seven days more, and sent out the dove again out of the ark;

And he tarried yet seven other days, and sent forth the dove, which from thenceforth came no more again to him.

And it came to pass, the six hundred and one year and the first day of the first month, that the waters were dried up upon the earth. And Noah took off the hatches of the ark and looked: and behold, the face of the earth was dry.

"Come out of the ark, both thou and thy wife and thy sons and thy sons' wives with thee.

And all the beasts that are with thee whatsoever flesh it be, both fowl and cattle and all manner worms that creep on the earth, bring out with thee, and let them move, grow and multiply upon the earth."

And Noah came out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.

All the beasts also, and all the worms, and all the fowls, and all that crept upon the earth, went out of the ark, every one unto his like.

Only: the flesh with his life, which is his blood, see that ye eat not.

For verily the blood of you, wherein your lives are, will I require: Even of the hand of all beasts will I require it, and of the hand of man and of the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man:

and with all living things that is with you: both fowl and cattle, and all manner beast of the earth that is with you, of all that cometh out of the ark, whatsoever beast of the earth it be.

I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant made between me and the earth;

And then will I think upon my covenant which I have made between me and you, and all that liveth, whatsoever flesh it be. So that henceforth there shall be no more waters to make a flood to destroy all flesh.

The bow shall be in the clouds, and I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and all that liveth upon the earth, whatsoever flesh it be."

The sons of Noah that came out of the ark were: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham he is the father of Canaan.

And Shem and Japheth took a mantle, and put it on both their shoulders and went backward, and covered their father's secrets, but their faces were backward, so that they saw not their father's nakedness.

As soon as Noah was awaked from his wine and wist what his youngest son had done unto him,

Out of that land came Assyria, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

And they said, one to another, "Come on, let us make brick and burn it with fire." So brick was their stone and slime was their mortar.

Come on, let us descend and mingle their tongue even there, that one understand not what another sayeth."

Wherefore the name of it is called Babel, because that the LORD there confounded the tongue of all the world; and because that the LORD, from thence, scattered them abroad upon all the earth.

And Haran died before Terah his father, in the land where he was born, at Ur in Chaldea.

Then the LORD said unto Abram, "Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred; and out of thy father's house, into a land which I will show thee.
