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 made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day, and a lesser light to rule the night; and he made stars also.

And God said, "Let us make man in our similitude and after our likeness: that he may have rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over all worms that creep on the earth."

And God created man after his likeness, after the likeness of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God beheld all that he had made, and lo they were exceeding good: and so of the evening and morning was made the sixth day.

and in the seventh day God ended his work which he had made and rested in the seventh day from all his works which he had made.

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

The LORD God also planted a garden in Eden from the beginning, and there he set man whom he had formed.

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

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.

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 the eyes of both them were opened, that they understood how that they were naked. Then they sewed fig leaves together and made them aprons.

And they heard the voice of the LORD God as he walked in the garden in the cool of the day. And Adam hid himself and his wife also from the face of the LORD God, among the trees of the garden.

And he answered, "Thy voice I heard in the garden, but I was afraid because I was naked, and therefore hid myself."

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 unto the woman he said, "I will surely increase thy sorrow and make thee oft with child, and with pain shalt thou be delivered: And thy lusts shall pertain unto thy husband and he shall rule thee."

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 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 Abel, he brought also of the firstlings of his sheep and of the fat of them. And the LORD looked unto Abel and to his offering:

but unto Cain and unto his offering, looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceedingly, and lowered.

And the LORD said unto Cain, "Where is Abel thy brother?" And he said, "I can not tell, am I my brother's keeper?"

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

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.

Male and female made he them, and called their names man, in the day when they were created.

And when Adam was a hundred and thirty years old, he begat a son after his likeness and similitude: and called his name Seth.

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

And all the days of Adam which he lived, were nine hundred and thirty years, and then he died.

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 all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years, and then he died.

and all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years, and then he died.

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 all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty two years, and then he died.

And Enoch walked with God, after he had begot Methuselah, three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

and Methuselah, after he had begot Lamech, lived seven hundred and eighty two years, and begat sons and daughters.

And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty nine years, and then he died.

And Lamech lived, after he had begot Noah, five hundred, ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters.

And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy seven years, and then he died.

And when Noah was five hundred years old, he begat Shem, Ham and Japheth.

he repented that he had made man upon the earth and sorrowed in his heart.

And the waters prevailed exceedingly above measure upon the earth, so that all the high hills which are under all the parts of heaven were covered:

even fifteen cubits high prevailed the waters, so that the hills were covered.

And after the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,

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.

so that he which sheddeth man's blood, shall have his blood shed by man again: for God made man after his own likeness.

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

he said, "Cursed be Canaan, and a servant, of all servants be he to his brethren."

And he said, "Blessed be the LORD God of Shem, and Canaan be his servant.

God increase Japheth that he may dwell in the tents of Shem. And Canaan be their servant."

So that all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.

He was a mighty hunter in the sight of the LORD, whereof came the proverb "he is as Nimrod, that mighty hunter in the sight of the LORD."

And Shem lived, after he had begot Arpachshad, five hundred years and begat sons and daughters.

and lived, after he had begot Shelah, four hundred years and three and begat sons and daughters.

and lived, after he had begot Eber, four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

When Eber was thirty four years old, he begat Peleg,

and lived, after he had begot Peleg, four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Peleg when he was thirty years old begat Reu,

and lived after he had begot Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Reu, when he had lived thirty two years, begat Serug,

and lived after he had begot Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

And when Serug was thirty years old, he begat Nahor,

and lived, after he had begot Nahor, two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Nahor, when he was twenty nine years old, begat Terah,

and lived, after he had begot Terah, a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

And when Terah was seventy years old, he begat Abram, Nahor and Haran.

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

And when Terah was two hundred years old and five he died in Haran.

And Abram went as the LORD bade him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy five years old, when he went out of Haran.

Abram went forth into the land till he came unto a place called Shechem, and unto the oak of Moreh. And the Cananites dwelled then in the land.

Then the LORD appeared unto Abram and said, "Unto thy seed will I give this land." And he built an altar there unto the LORD which appeared to him.

Then departed he thence unto a mountain that lieth on the east side of Bethel and pitched his tent - Bethel being on the west side, and Ai on the east - and he built there an altar unto the LORD, and called on the name of the LORD.

And when he was come nigh for to enter into Egypt, he said unto Sarai his wife, "Behold, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon.

As soon as he came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very fair.

which entreated Abram well for her sake, so that he had sheep, oxen and he-asses, men servants, maid servants, she-asses and camels.

Pharaoh also gave a charge unto his men over Abram, to lead him out, with his wife and all that he had.

Then Abram departed out of Egypt; both he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him unto the south.

And he went on his journey from the south even unto Bethel, and unto the place where his tent was at the first time between Bethel and Ai,

and unto the place of the altar which he made before. And there called Abram upon the name, of the LORD.

Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan: And Lot in the cities of the plain, and tented till he came to Sodom.

And they took Lot also; Abram's brother's son, and his goods, for he dwelled at Sodom; and departed.

When Abram heard that his brother was taken, he harnessed his servants born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and followed till they came at Dan.

And as he returned again from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and of the kings that were with him, then came the king of Sodom to meet him, unto the vale of Shaveh which now is called King's Dale.

Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine. And he being the priest of the most highest God, blessed him, saying,

And Abram answered the king of Sodom, "I lift up my hand unto the LORD God most high, possessor of heaven and earth,

And behold, the word of the LORD spake unto Abram saying, "He shall not be thine heir, but one that shall come out of thine own body shall be thine heir."

And he brought him out at the doors and said, "Look up unto heaven and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them." And said unto him, "Even so shall thy seed be."

And he said unto him, "I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur in Chaldea to give thee this land to possess it."

And he said, "LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall possess it?"

And he said unto him, "Take a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a three year old ram, a turtle dove and a young pigeon."

And he took all these and divided them in the midst, and laid every piece, one over against another. But the fowls divided he not.
