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 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 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 God said, "See, I have given you all herbs that sow seed which are on all the earth, and all manner trees that have fruit in them and sow seed; to be meat for you,

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

These are the generations of heaven and earth when they were created, in the time when the LORD God created heaven and earth

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.

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.

And Adam gave names unto all manner cattle, and unto the fowls of the air, and unto all manner beasts of the field. But there was no help found unto Adam to bear him company.

And they were either of them naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed.

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 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 the LORD God called Adam and said unto him, "Where art thou?"

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 Cain talked with Abel his brother. And as soon as they were in the fields, Cain fell upon Abel his brother and slew him.

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

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

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 all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and died.

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

And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty five years,

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

and called him Noah, saying, "This same shall comfort us: as concerning our work and sorrow of our hands which we have about the earth that the LORD hath cursed."

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

the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and took unto them wives, which they best liked among them all.

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."

There were tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the children of God had gone in unto the daughters of men and had begotten them children, the same children were the mightiest of the world and men of renown.

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."

These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man and uncorrupt in his time, and walked with God.

likewise of the birds of the air seven of every kind, male and female to save seed upon all the earth.

And of clean beasts and of beasts that were unclean and of birds and of all that creepeth upon the earth,

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

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.

Thus was destroyed all that was upon the earth; both man, beasts, worms and fowls of the air, so that they were destroyed from the earth: save Noah was reserved only and they that were with him in the ark.

And God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to blow upon the earth, and the waters ceased;

and the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain of heaven was forbidden,

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 the dove came to him again about eventide, and behold: there was in her mouth a leaf of an olive tree which she had plucked, whereby Noah perceived that the waters were abated upon the earth.

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.

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."

The fear also and dread of you be upon all beasts of the earth, and upon all fowls of the air, and upon all that creepeth on the earth, and upon all fishes of the sea, which are given unto your hands.

And all that moveth upon the earth, having life, shall be your meat: Even as the green herbs, so give I you all things.

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:

"See, I make my covenant with you and your seed after you,

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

These are the three sons of Noah, and of these was all the world overspread.

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's privities, and told his two brethren that were without.

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.

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

These are the generations of the sons of Noah: of Shem, Ham and Japheth, which begat them children after the flood.

The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras.

And the sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.

And the sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan.

The sons of Cush: were Seva, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah were: Sheba, and Dedan.

And the coasts of the Canaanites were from Sidon till thou come to Gerar and to Gaza, and till thou come to Sodom, Gomorrah, Adma, Zeboiim: even unto Lasha.

These were the children of Ham in their kindreds, tongues, lands and nations.

And his sons were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram.

And the children of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash.

Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these are the sons of Joktan.

These are the sons of Shem in their kindreds, languages, countries and nations.

These are the kindreds of the sons of Noah, in their generations and nations. And of these came the people that were in the world after the flood.

These are the generations of Shem: Shem was a hundred years old and begat Arpachshad two years after the flood.

And these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran begat Lot.

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

Then took Terah: Abram his son, and Lot his son Haran's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law his son Abram's wife. And they went with him from Ur in Chaldea, to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and dwelled there.

And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, with all their goods which they had gotten, and souls which they had begotten in Haran. And they departed to go into the land of Canaan. And when they were come into the land of Canaan,

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,

Is not all the whole land before thee? Depart, I pray thee, from me. If thou wilt take the lefthand, I will take the right: or if thou take the righthand I will take the left."

But the men of Sodom were wicked, and sinned exceedingly against the LORD.

And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was departed from him, "Lift up thine eyes and look from the place where thou art, northward, southward, eastward and westward,

Twelve years were they subject to king Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year rebelled.

Therefore in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Giants in Ashteroth-Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

Then went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, now called Zoar. And set their men in array to fight with them in the vale of Siddim, that is to say,

Then came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; which dwelt in the oak grove of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and Aner, which were confederate with Abram.

And set himself and his servants in array, and fell upon them by night, and smote them, and chased them away unto Hobah, which lieth on the lefthand of Damascus,

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.

that I will not take of all that is thine, so much as a thread or a shoe latchet, lest thou shouldest say 'I have made Abram rich.'

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 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."

This is my covenant which ye shall keep between me and you and thy seed after thee: that ye circumcise all your men children.

Ye shall circumcise the foreskin of your flesh, and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

And every manchild when it is eight days old, shall be circumcised among you in your generations, and all servants also born at home or bought with money, though they be strangers and not of thy seed.

The servant born in thy house, and he also that is bought with money, must needs be circumcised, that my covenant may be in your flesh, for an everlasting bond.

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all the servants born in his house, and all that was bought with money; as many as were men children among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the foreskin of their flesh, even the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

And all the men in his house, whether they were born in his house or bought with money, though they were strangers, were circumcised with him.

Let a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

And I will fetch a morsel of bread, to comfort your hearts withal. And then go your ways, for even therefore are ye come to your servant." And they answered, "Do even so as thou hast said."

And they said unto him, "Where is Sara, thy wife?" And he said, "In the tent."
