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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 said - Let us make man in our image after our likeness - and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of the heavens and over the tame-beast - and over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land.

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 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.

The name of the one, is Pishon, - the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Havilah, where is gold;

moreover the gold of that and, is good, - there, is the bdellium, and the beryl stone,

And the name of the second river, is Gihon, - the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Cush,

And, the name of the third river, is Hiddekel, the same, is that which goeth in front of Assyria; and the fourth river, is Euphrates.

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.

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?

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 were opened the eyes of them both, and they knew that, naked, they were, - so they tacked together fig-leaves, and made for themselves girdles,

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

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.

So the man called the name of his wife, Eve, - in that, she, was made mother of every one living.

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

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 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.

that the sons of God saw the daughters of men! that they were, fair, - so they took to themselves wives of whomsoever they chose,

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.

The giants, were in the each in these days, and also, after that, when the sons of God began to go in unto the daughters of men, and sons were born to them, the same, were the heroes that were from age-past times the men of renown.

Then Yahweh saw that great, was the wickedness of man in the earth, and that, every purpose of the devices of his heart, was only wicked all the day;

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

And Yahweh said - I must wipe off man whom I created from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, - for I am grieved that I made them.

And, I, behold me! bringing in the flood - even waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh wherein is the spirit of life, from under the heavens, - everything that is in the earth, shall cease to breathe:

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.

And Noah did so , - according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Of all the clean beasts, shalt thou take to thee by sevens, a male and his female, - and, of the beasts that are not clean,, shall be two a male and his female.

And Noah did, - according to all that Yahweh commanded him.

Of the beasts that were clean, and of the beasts that were not clean, - and of the birds, and everything that creepeth on 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.)

they, and all the wild-beasts after their kind and all the tame-beasts after their kind, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth after their kind, - and all the birds after their kind, every bird of every wing.

And, they that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered, as God commanded him, - and Yahweh shut him in round about.

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,

Yea the waters, prevailed very greatly, on the earth, - so that all the high mountains became covered, that were under all the heavens:

fifteen cubits upwards, prevailed the waters, so that the mountains became covered.

And all flesh ceased to breathe that moved on the earth, of birds and of tame-beasts and of wild-beasts, and of all the swarming things that swarm on the earth, - land all mankind.

All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life of all that were on the dry ground died.

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 God remembered Noah, and all the wild - beasts and all the tame-beasts that were with him in the ark, - and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided;

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

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.

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.

All the living creatures that are with thee of all flesh among birds, and among beasts, and among all the creeping things that creep on the earth, bring forth with thee, - and they shall swarm in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply, on the earth.

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.

and let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every living creature of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, - over everything that moveth along on the ground, and over all the fishes of the sea, - into your hand, have they been given.

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

He that sheddeth man's blood, by man, shall his blood be shed, - For, in the image of God, made he 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;

yea, I will establish my covenant with you, so that all flesh shall not be cut off any more, by reason of the waters of a flood, - neither shall there he any more a flood to destroy the earth.

And God said, This, is the sign of the covenant which I am granting betwixt me and you, and every living soul that is with you, - to age-abiding generations: -

then will I remember my covenant which is betwixt me and you, and every living soul among all flesh, - that the waters may no more become a flood, to destroy all flesh:

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 God said unto Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which have established, between me and all flesh that is on the earth.

From that land, went forth Asshur, - and he built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah:

And it came to pass that the boundary of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou enterest in towards Gerar unto Gaza, - as thou enterest in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, as far as Lasha.

And it came to pass that their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou enterest in towards Sephar, the mountain of the east.

So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, - and of one stock of words.

And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.

Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, - that they may not under-stand, each man the speech of his friend.

And Terah took Abram his son and Lot son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, - and came forth with them out of Ur of the Chaldees, that they might go their way towards the land of Canaan, and they came in as far as Haran and dwelt there.

And Yahweh said unto Abram: Come thou on thy way, Out of thy land and out of the place of thy birth and out of the house of thy father, - Unto the land that I will show thee;

That I may make thee into a great nation, And bless thee and make great thy name, And become thou a blessing;

That I may bless them who bless thee, But him who maketh light of thee, will I curse, - So shall be, blessed in thee, all the families of the ground.

And Abram came on his way, according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto him, and Lot came with him, - now, Abram, was seventy-five years old, when he came forth out of Haran.

And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, with all the goods that they bad gathered and the souls that they had gained in Haran, - and they came forth to go towards the land of Canaan, and came in to the land of Canaan.

And it came to pass that there was a famine, in the land, - so Abram went down towards Egypt, to sojourn there, because grievous, was the famine in the land.

And it came to pass when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: Behold! I beseech thee I know that a woman fair to look on, thou art:

so will it come to pass when the Egyptians behold thee, that they will say, His wife, this! and will slay me while thee, they preserve alive.

Say, I beseech thee that my sister, art thou, - to the end it may be well with me for thy sake, so shall my soul be preserved alive because of thee.

And so it was when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fair, was she exceedingly.

and with Abram, dealt he well for her sake, - so that he came to have flocks and herds and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses and camels.

And Pharaoh called out to Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Wherefore didst thou not tell me, that she was, thy wife?

And Pharaoh gave command concerning him unto certain men, - and sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.

So Abram came up out of Egypt he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him, towards the South.

And the land suffered them not to dwell together, - because their substance had become, great, so that they could not dwell together.

So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered, - before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into Zoar.

And, Yahweh, said unto Abram after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up, I pray thee thine eyes and look, from the place where thou art, - northward and southward and eastward and westward;

and I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, - so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also, may be numbered.

that they made war, with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, - Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela - the same, is Zoar.

So they returned and came in unto En-mishpat, the same, is Kadish, and smote all the field of the Amalekites, - and the Amorites also that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar,

So Abram, hearing that his brother had been taken captive, drew forth his trained men born in his house three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.

That not from a thread even unto a sandal-thong, - will I take, anything, that is thine, - Lest thou shouldst say, I, enriched Abram!

And he said, My Lord Yahweh, whereby, can I know that I shall inherit it?

And he said to Abram - Thou must surely know, that, sojourners, will thy seed become in a land not theirs, and shall serve them and they will humble them, four hundred years;

moreover also, the nation whom they will serve, I, am going to judge, and after that, shall they come forth with great substance.

So it came to pass when, the sun, had gone in, and Ira thick darkness, had come on, that lo there was a smoking hearth and torch of fire, which passed through between these pieces.

In that day, did Yahweh solemnise with Abram a covenant, saying, - To thy seed, have I given this land, from the river of Egypt as far as the great river - the river Euphrates:

And he went in unto Hagar anti she conceived, - and when she saw that she had conceived, lightly esteemed, was her lady, in her eyes.

Then said Sarai unto Abram: My wrong, is, on thee! I, gave my handmaid into thy broom, and when she seeth that she hath conceived, then am lightly esteemed in her eyes Yahweh judge betwixt me and her.
