And Adam 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 Jehovah God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

And Jehovah God said to the serpent, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every animal of the field. You shall go upon your belly, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.

And he called his name Noah, saying, This one shall comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which Jehovah has cursed.

And this is the way you shall make it. The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it shall be fifty cubits and its height thirty cubits.

And Jehovah said to Noah, You and all your house come into the ark, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened up.

In this same 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.

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature with you, for everlasting generations:

And God said to Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

And Jehovah said, Behold! The people is one and they all have one language. And this they begin to do. And now nothing which they have imagined to do will be restrained from them.

And Jehovah appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your seed. And he built an altar there to Jehovah who appeared to him.

And it will be when the Egyptians see you, they shall say, This is his wife. And they will kill me, but they will save you alive.

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

And Abram said, Lord God, what will You give me, since I am going childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

And behold, the Word of Jehovah came to him saying, This one shall not be your heir. But he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir.

And He said to him, I am Jehovah that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.

In the same day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, I have given this land to your seed, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,

This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your seed after you. Every male child among you shall be circumcised.

But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time in the next year.

And I will bring a bite of bread, and will comfort your hearts. After that You shall pass on. For this is why You have come to Your servant. And they said, Do so, as you have said.

Far be it from You to act in this manner, to kill the righteous with the wicked. And far be it from You, that the righteous should be as the wicked. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men which came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.

Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man. I pray you, let me bring them out to you, and you do to them as you see fit. But do nothing to these men, for this is why they came under the shadow of my roof.

And they said, Stand back! And they said, This one came in to stay, and must he judge always? Now we will deal worse with you than with them. And they pressed hard upon the man, Lot, and came near to breaking the door.

And the men said to Lot, Have you anyone here besides yourself? Bring your sons-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whatever you have in the city, bring them out of this place.

For we will destroy this place because great is the cry of them before the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.

And Lot went out and spoke with his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said, Get up and get out of this place, for Jehovah will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked to his sons-in-law.

Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

And He said to him, See, I have accepted you concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken.

And it happened on the next day, the first-born said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine this night also, and you go in and lie down with him so that we may preserve seed of our father.

And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

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

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

And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the sincerity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see that you have done this thing?

And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake.

And it happened when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This is your kindness which you show to me, at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, he is to you a covering of the eyes, to all that are with you, and with all this, you are reproved.

And she said to Abraham, Cast out this slave woman and her son. For the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son, with Isaac.

And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this thing, neither did you tell me, neither have I even heard of it, except today.

And he said, For you shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, so that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.

This is why he called that place Beer-sheba, because they swore, both of them, there.

And Abraham said to his young men, You stay here with the ass. And I and the boy will go on to this way and worship, and come again to you.

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Will See; so that it is said until this day, In the mount of Jehovah it will be seen.

and said, I have sworn by Myself, says Jehovah; because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one;

And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave at the field of Machpelah before Mamre, which is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.

And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I necessarily bring your son again to the land from which you came?

Jehovah, the God of Heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land: He shall send His Angel before you. And you shall take a wife to my son from there.

And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath of mine. Only do not bring my son there again.

And he said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, I pray You, send me good speed this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

And I came this day to the well, and said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, if now You prosper my way in which I go,

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

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

And the sons struggled together within her. And she said, If it is so, why am I this way? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

And Esau said to Jacob, I beg you, Let me eat of the red, this red soup, for I am faint. Therefore his name was called Edom.

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point of dying, and what profit shall this birthright be to me?

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day. And he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

Reside in this land, and I will be with you and bless you. For to you and to your seed I will give all these lands; and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

And Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us? One of the people might have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.

And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

And he called it Shebah. Therefore the name of the city is The Well of Sheba to this day.

And, behold, I am with you, and will keep you in every place where you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.

And Jacob awakened from his sleep. And he said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I did not know.

And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! This is nothing but the house of God, and this is the gate of Heaven!

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to put on,

And this stone which I have set for a pillar shall be God's house. And of all that You shall give me, I will surely give the tenth to You.

And it happened in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you tricked me?

Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you shall serve with me still another seven years.

And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I was hated, 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 return 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 Jehovah. Therefore she called his name Judah, and quit bearing.

And he said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flock.

And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and he has gotten all this glory from that which was our father's.

If he said this, The speckled shall be your wages, then all the flocks bore speckled. And if he said this, The striped shall be your hire, then all the flocks bore striped.

I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar, where you vowed a vow to Me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your kindred.

And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flocks my flocks. All that you see is mine. And what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their sons which they have borne?

And Laban said, This heap is a witness between you and me this day. Therefore the name of it was called Heap of Testimony,

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between you and me.

This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you shall not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

And when Jacob saw them he said, This is God's camp. And he called the name of that place Two Camps.

I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have done to Your servant. For with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two bands.

And so he commanded the second and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this way you shall speak to Esau when you find him.

Therefore the sons of Israel do not eat of the sinew of the thigh, which is on the hip-socket, until this day, because He touched Jacob's hip-socket, the sinew of the thigh.

He asked, Whose is all this camp which I met? And he said, To find grace in the sight of my lord.

And Esau said, Let me now leave with you some of the people with me. And he said, Why this? Let me find grace in the sight of my lord.

And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this girl for a wife.

And they said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised. For it is a reproach to us.

But in this we will agree with you, if you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,

Only on this condition will the men agree to us, to live with us, to be one people, if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.

And it happened when she was in hard labor in her bearing, the midwife said to her, Do not fear, you shall have this son also.

And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave. That is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.

And he said to them, I pray you, Hear this dream which I have dreamed.

And he told it to his father and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I, and your mother, and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the earth before you?

And they said to one another, Behold, this dreamer comes.

And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him (in order to rescue him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again).

And they sent the tunic reaching to the soles of the feet, and they brought it to their father. And they said, We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son's coat or not?

And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be ashamed. Behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.

And when she travailed, it happened that one put out a hand. And the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This one came out first.
