And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.

And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof:

and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?

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 one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

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

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

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever-

therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?

And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle.

And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe.

And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then began men to call upon the name of Jehovah.

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

male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

and the days of Adam after he begat Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters.

And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

and Seth lived after he begat Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:

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

and Enosh lived after he begat Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:

and all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years: and he died.

and Kenan lived after he begat Mahalalel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:

and all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.

And Mahalalel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:

and all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.

and Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.

and Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

and Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters.

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

and he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, which cometh because of the ground which Jehovah hath cursed.

And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:

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

And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.

And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.

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

and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto 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 unto him into the ark.

And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.

Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: For in the image of God made he man.

and he drank of the wine, and was drunken. And he was uncovered within his tent.

And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

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

And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: And he died.

And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah: wherefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah.

Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,

and Shem lived after he begat Arpachshad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

and Arpachshad lived after he begat Shelah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

and Shelah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

and Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

and Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

and Nahor lived after he begat Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

So Abram went, as Jehovah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

And Jehovah appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto Jehovah, who appeared unto him.

And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto Jehovah, and called upon the name of Jehovah.

And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

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

And Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him: and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had.

And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.

And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai,

unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.

And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew: now he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram.

And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.

And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.

And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:

and blessed be God Most High, who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him a tenth of all.

And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,

And Abram said, O Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?

And, behold, the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heir; But he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

And he believed in Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.

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

And he said, O Lord Jehovah, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
