And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate. And she also gave to her husband with her, and h

And the man said, The woman whom thou gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

And the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from LORD.

And again she bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bore Enoch. And [Cain] built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth. For, [she said], God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.

And Noah was five hundred years old. And Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

In the selfsame day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark,

But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot. And she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. And he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in to him into the ark.

And he stayed yet seven other days, and sent forth the dove. And she did not return again to him any more.

Whoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. For in the image of God he made man.

And the sons of Noah, who went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.

And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

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

God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem. And let Canaan be his servant.

Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.

And to Shem, the father of all the sons of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were also born to him.

The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations.

These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.

And Shem lived five hundred years after he begot Arphaxad, and begot sons and daughters.

And Sarai was barren; she had no child.

And it came to pass, that, when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

And he dealt well with Abram for her sake. And he had sheep, and oxen, and he-donkeys, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-donkeys, and camels.

And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou have done to me? Why did thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

Why did thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore behold thy wife. Take her, and go thy way.

And he said to him, Take a heifer three years old for me, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle dove, and a young pigeon.

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no sons. And she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be upon thee. I gave my handmaid into they bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. LORD judge between me and thee.

But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

And he said, Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, from where have thou come? And where are thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.

And she called the name of LORD who spoke to her, Thou are a God who sees, for she said, Have I even here looked behind him who sees me?

And I will bless her. And moreover I will give thee a son by her. Yea, I will bless her, and she shall be [a mother of] nations; kings of peoples shall be by her.

Then Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said, No, but thou did laugh.

But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

And they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi. The same is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

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

Did he not himself say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.

And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife.

And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah should give sons suck? For I have borne him a son in his old age.

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son. For the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

And she went, and sat herself down opposite him a good way off, as it were a bowshot. For she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat opposite him, and the child lifted up its voice, and wept.

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.

And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:

And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.

And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink. And she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. Let the same be she that thou have appointed for th

And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her. And she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

And she said, Drink, my lord. And she hurried, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

And she hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.

And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.

She said moreover to him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.

And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old. And has he given to him all that he has.

and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels, let the same be the woman whom LORD has appointed for my master's son.

And before I was done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder. And she went down to the fountain, and drew. And I said to her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. So I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.

And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us [a few] days, at the least ten. After that she shall go.

And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Will thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel.

And she said to the servant, What man is this who walks in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master. And she took her veil, and covered herself.

And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

And Isaac entreated LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And LORD was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

And the children struggled together within her. And she said, If it be so, why do I live? And she went to inquire of LORD.

And after that his brother came forth, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel, and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

And the men of the place asked him of his wife. And he said, She is my sister. For he feared to say, My wife, Lest, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she was fair to look upon.

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is certainly thy wife, and how did thou say, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die because of her.

And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck.

And she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau comforts himself concerning thee, to kill thee.

While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.

And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father.

And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because LORD has looked upon my affliction, for now my husband will love me.

And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Because LORD has heard that I am regarded inferior, he has therefore given me this [son] also. And she called his name Simeon.

And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore his name was called Levi.

And she conceived again, and bore a son. And she said, This time I will praise LORD. Therefore she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.

And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no sons, Rachel envied her sister, and she said to Jacob, Give me sons, or else I die.

And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in to her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may obtain sons by her.

And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife, and Jacob went in to her.

And Rachel said, God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son. Therefore she called his name Dan.

And Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed. And she called his name Naphtali.

When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.

And Leah said, Fortunate! And she called his name Gad.

And Leah said, Happy am I! For the daughters will call me happy. And she called his name Asher.

And she said to her, Is it a small matter that thou have taken away my husband? And would thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lay with thee tonight for thy son's mandrakes.

And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.

And Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.
