Now, the earth, had become waste and wild, and darkness, was on the face of the roaring deep, - but, the Spirit of God, was brooding on the face of the waters,

And God will say there shall be light, and there shall be light

And God will see the light that it is good, and God will separate between the light and between the darkness.

And God will call to the light day, and to the darkness he called night: and the evening shall be, and the morning shall be one day.

And God will say there shall be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and there shall be a separating between waters to waters.

And God will call to the firmament the heavens: and the evening shall be, and the morning shall be the second day.

And God will say the waters shall be gathered together from the under part of the heavens to one place, and the dry shall be seen: and it shall be so.

And God will call to the dry, earth; and to the gathering of the waters he called seas: and God will see that it is good.

And God said, "Let the earth produce green plants [that will] bear seed--fruit trees bearing fruit {in which there is seed}--according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so.

And the earth shall bring forth the tender grass, the green herb bearing seed according to its kind, and the tree making fruit in which the seed is in it, according to its kind: and God will see that it is good.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night. They will serve as signs for festivals and for days and years.

They will be lights in the expanse of the sky to provide light on the earth.” And it was so.

And God will make two great lights; the great light for the rule of the day, and the small light for the rule of the night and the stars.

And God will give them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth.

And to rule in the day and in the night, and to separate between the light and between the darkness: And God will see that it is good.

And God will say the waters shall breed abundantly creeping things, the living soul, and birds shall fly over the earth, over the face of the firmament of the heavens.

And God will form great sea. monsters and every living soul creeping, which the waters bred abundantly according to their kind, and every bird of wing according to its kind: and God will see that it is good.

And God will praise them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and birds shall multiply in the earth.

And God said - Let the land, bring forth, living soul, after its kind, tame-beast and creeping thing and wild-beast, of the land, after its kind. And it was so.

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.

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.”

And God will form man in his image, in the image of God he formed him; male and female he formed them.

And God will praise them, and God will say to them, be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing creeping upon the earth.

God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

I have given all green plants as food for every wild animal of the earth, every bird that flies, and to every living thing that crawls on the earth." And that is what happened.

And God will see every thing which he made: and lo, very good And the evening shall be, and the morning shall be the sixth day.

And God will complete in the seventh day his work which he made, and he will rest in the seventh day from all his work which he made.

And God will praise the seventh day, and will consecrate it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God formed to make.

And every green thing of the field before it shall be in the earth, and every green herb of the field before it will spring up: for Jehovah God rained not upon the earth and not a man to work the earth.

And Jehovah God will form man of the dust from the earth, and will blow into his nostrils the breath of lives, and man shall be for a living soul.

And Jehovah God will plant a garden in Eden from the east; and he will put there the man which he will form.

And Jehovah God will cause to grow out of the earth every tree pleasant to the sight, and good for food; and the tree of lives in the midst of the garden, and the tree to know good and evil.

And Jehovah God will take the man and will set him down in the garden of Eden to work it and to keep it.

And Jehovah God will appoint to the man, saying, From every tree of the garden eating, thou shalt eat.

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

So the Lord God formed out of the ground every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

So the man gave names to all the tame-beasts, and to the birds of the heavens, and to all the wild-beasts of the field, - but, for man, had there not been found a helper as his counterpart.

And Jehovah God will cause to fall a deep sleep upon the man, and he will sleep; and he will take one of his ribs and will close up the flesh underneath it

And Jehovah God will build the rib which he took from the man, into a woman, and will bring her to the man.

The man said, "This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any other {wild animal} which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God indeed say, 'You shall not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

And the woman will say to the serpent, From the fruit of the tree of the garden we shall eat

"but as for the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, "You are not to eat from it, nor are you to touch it, or you will die.'"

And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die;

but God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.

And the woman will see that the tree is good for food, and that it is a desire to the eyes, and a tree desired to make wise; and she will take from its fruit and will eat, and will give also to her man with her, and he will eat

And they shall hear the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden at the breeze of the day: and Adam and his wife will hide from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the wood of the garden.

And Jehovah God will call to the man, and will say to him, Where art thou?

And he will will say, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I shall be afraid, because I am naked, and I will hide myself.

And he will say, Who showed to thee that thou art naked? Of the tree which I charged thee not to eat, didst thou eat from it?

And the man will say, The woman which thou gavest with me, she gave to me from the tree, and I shall eat

And Jehovah God will say to the woman, What is this thou didst? And the woman will say, The serpent deceived me and I shall eat.

Then said Yahweh God unto the serpent - Because thou hast done this, Accursed, art thou above every tame-beast, and above every wild-beast of the field, - on thy belly, shall thou go, and dust, shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

And Adam will call his wife's name Life, for she was the mother of all living.

And Jehovah God will make to Adam and to his wife, coats of skin, and will clothe them.

And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.

And Jehovah God will send. him forth from the garden of Eden to work the earth which he was taken from there.

And he will drive out Adam; and he will set up from the east of the garden of Eden, cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning itself about to keep the way of the tree of lives.

AND Adam knew Life, his wife, and she will conceive and bear Cain, and said, I obtained a man of Jehovah.

And she will add to bear his brother Abel; and Abel shall be a feeder of sheep, and Cain was a laborer of the earth.

And Abel, he also brought in the first-born of his sheep, and their fat. And Jehovah will look to Abel and to his gift

And to Cain and to his offering he looked not: and Cain will be very angry, and his countenance will fall.

And Jehovah will say to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why does thy countenance fall?

If thou doest well, will not thy countenance look up with confidence? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

And Cain will speak to Abel his brother; and it shall be in their being in the field, Cain will rise up against Abel his brother, and will kill him.

And Jehovah will say to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? and he will say, I know not: am I my brother's watcher?

And he will say, What didst thou? the voice of thy brother's bloods, crying out to me from the earth.

When you till the ground, it will not again give its strength to you. And you shall be a vagabond and a fugitive in the earth.

And Cain will say to Jehovah, My sin is great, above bearing.

Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, that every one who finds me will slay me.

The LORD said to him, "Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." the LORD appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.

And Cain will know his wife, and she will conceive and bear Enoch: and he will be building a city, and will call the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.

And Adah will bear Jabal; he was the father of him remaining in the tent, and riches.

And Zillah, she also will bear Tubal Cain, sharpening every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and Tubal Cain's sister was Naamah.

And Lamech will say his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, and give ear to my word: for I killed a man to my wound, and a son to my cutting.

If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times."

And Adam will know his wife again, and she will bear a son, and she will call his name Seth: for God set me a second seed instead of Abel, for Cain slew him.

And to Seth, to him also a son shall be born, and he will call his name Enos: then it was begun to call in the name of Jehovah.

Male and female he formed them; and he will bless them, and will call their name Adam in the day they are created.

And Adam shall live thirty and one hundred years, and shall beget in his likeness, according to his image, and will call his name Seth.

and he named him Noah, saying, "This one will comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD has cursed."

And the sons of God will see the daughters of Adam that they are good, and they will take to them wives of all which they chose.

The LORD said, "My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years."

And Jehovah will see that great the evil of man in the earth, and every formation of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the days.

And Jehovah will lament that he made man in the earth, and he will be grieved at his heart

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.

From birds according to their species, from domestic animals according to their species, and from everything that crawls on the ground according to their species two of everything will come to you so they may remain alive.

Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them."
