In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

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 said - Light, be, And light was.

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

and God called the light, day, but the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening - and it was morning, one day.

And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a means of dividing, between waters and waters,

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 expanse, heavens. So it was evening - and it was morning, a, second day.

And God said - Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together, into one place, and let the dry - ground appear. 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 God said - Let the land put-forth vegetation-herb yielding seed, fruit-tree, bearing fruit, after its kind, whose seed is within it on the land. And it was so,

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 God said - Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night, - and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;

And God made the two great luminaries, - the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars.

And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, - to give light on the earth;

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 said - Let the waters swarm with an abundance of living soul, and, birds, shall fly over the earth, over the face of the expanse of the heavens.

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 blessed them, saying, - Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let, the birds, multiply in the land.

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.

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 created the man in his own image, In the image of God, created he him, - Male and female, created he, them.

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 God said - Lo! I have given to you - every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, - to you, shall it be, for food;

And God saw every thing which he had made, and lo! it was very good. So it was evening - and it was morning, the sixth day.

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

And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, - because therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had made.

These are the geneses of the heavens and the earth when they were created, - in the day when Yahweh God made earth and heavens.

Now, no bush of the field, as yet - was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, - because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;

So then Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed in his nostrils the breath of life - and man became a living soul.

And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, on the east, - and put there the man whom he had formed.

And Yahweh God, caused to spring up, out of the ground, every tree pleasant to the sight and good for food, - and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

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

So Yahweh God took the man, - and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keeps it.

And Yahweh God laid command on the man, saying, - Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest eat;

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not cat of it, - for in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shelf die.

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.

So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept, - and he took one of his ribs, and closed up flesh instead thereof.

And Yahweh God builded the rib which he had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her in unto the man.

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?

but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said Ye shall not eat of it neither shall ye touch it, - lest ye die.

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 heard they the sound of Yahweh God, walking to and fro in the garden at the breeze of the day, - so he hid himself - the man with his wife, from the face of Yahweh God, amid the trees of the garden.

And Yahweh God called unto the man, - and said to him, Where art thou?

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.

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 Yahweh God made for the man - and for his wife - tunics of skin and clothed them.

Then said Yahweh God - Lo! man, hath become like one of us, in respect of knowing good and evil, - Now, therefore, lest he thrust forth his hand, and take even of the tree of life, and eat, and live to times age-abiding, -

So Yahweh God put him forth from the garden of Eden, - to till the ground wherefrom he had been taken.

And Adam again knew his wife, and she bare a son, and called his name Seth, - For God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain slew him!

This, is the record of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, In the likeness of God, made he him:

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

and Enoch walked with God, - and was not for God had taken him.

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

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.

These, are the generations of Noah, Noah, was, a righteous man blameless, in his generations, - with God, did Noah walk.

And the earth corrupted itself before God, - and the earth was filled with violence,

And God beheld the earth, and lo! it had corrupted itself, - surely all flesh had corrupted its way, on the earth.

So God said unto Noah: the end of all flesh, hath come in before me, for, filled, is the earth with violence, because of them, - behold me, then, destroying them with the earth.

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

two and two, went they in unto Noah, into the ark male and female,, - as God commanded Noah.

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

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;

So then, God spake to Noah, saying:

So God blessed Noah and his sons, - and said to them Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth;

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

And God spake unto Noah, and unto his sons with him saying:

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: -

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.

And he said, Blessed be Yahweh, God of Shem, - And let Cantata he their servant:

God give extension to Japheth, But make his habitation in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be their servant.

flow Melchizedek king of Salem, had brought forth bread and wine, - he, being priest of GOD Most High.

So he blessed him and said, - Blessed be Abram of GOD Most High, possessor of the heavens and earth;

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

And Abram said unto the king of Sodom, - I have lifted up my hand unto Yahweh GOD Most High, possessor of the heavens and earth:

And he said unto him, Take for me a heifer three years old, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle-dove and a young pigeon.

But, thou, shalt go in unto thy fathers in peace, thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

And Abram said unto Sarai, Lo! thy handmaid, is in thy hand, do to her what is good in thine eyes. So Sarai humbled her, and she fled from her face.

And she called the name of Yahweh, who had spoken unto her, Thou GOD of vision! For she said. Do I even here, retain my vision after a vision?

And it came to pass that, when Abram was ninety and nine years old, Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said unto him, I, am GOD Almighty, - Walk, thou before me and become thou blameless:

And Abram fell on his face, - and God spake with him, saying:

And I will confirm my covenant betwixt me and thee and thy seed after thee to their generations for an age-abiding covenant, - to become to thee a God, and to thy seed after thee;

And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land of thy sojournings - all the land of Canaan, for an age-abiding possession - And I will be to them a God.

And God said unto Abraham, But, as for thee, my covenant, must thou keep, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations: -

But, as for the uncircumcised male who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, - that person shall be cut off from among his people, - my covenant, hath he made void.

And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, - but, Sarah, is her name;

And Abraham said unto God, - Oh that, Ishmael, might live before thee!

And God said - Truly, Sarah thy wife, is about to bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name, Isaac, - and I will establish my covenant with him as an age-abiding covenant, to his seed after him.

And he left off speaking with him, - and God went up from Abraham.

So Abraham took Ishmael his son and all born of his house and all bought with his silver - every male among the men of the house of Abraham, - and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on this selfsame day, according to that which God had spoken with him.

And unto the herd, ran Abraham, - and took a calf tender and good and gave unto the young man, and he hastened to make it ready.

So the two messengers went in towards Sodom at eventide, Lot, being seated in the gate of Sodom, - so Lot beheld and rose up to meet them, and bowed himself with his face to the earth.

Behold, I pray you, I, have two daughters who have not known man, I must needs now bring, them, forth unto you, and do ye to them, as may be good in your eyes, - Only to these men, ye may do nothing; for on this account, have they come under the shade of my roof.

And Abraham gat up early in the morning, unto the place where he had stood before Yahweh;

And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the circuit, that God remembered Abraham, and sent forth Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities wherein Lot had dwelt.
