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 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.

So it was evening - and it was morning, a third day.

yea let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.

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.

So it was evening - and it was morning, a fourth day.

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.

So it was evening - and it was morning, a fifth day.

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 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 to every living thing of the land - and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it wins so.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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?

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 were opened the eyes of them both, and they knew that, naked, they were, - so they tacked together fig-leaves, and made for themselves girdles,

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 he said, The sound of thee, heard I in the garden, and I was afraid, for, naked, was I, so I hid myself.

And the man said, - The woman whom thou didst put with me, she, gave me of the tree, so I did eat.

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.

And, to the man, he said, Because thou didst hearken to the voice of thy wife, and so didst eat of the tree as to which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it, Accursed be the ground for thy sake, In pain, shalt thou eat of it, all the days of thy life;

So the man called the name of his wife, Eve, - in that, she, was made mother of every one living.

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

So he expelled the man, - and caused to dwell - in front of the garden of Eden - cherubim and a brandishing sword - flame, to keep the way to the tree of life.

So it came to pass, after certain days, that Cain brought in of the fruit of the ground, a present to Yahweh:

So then Yahweh said unto Cain, - Wherefore hath it angered thee, and wherefore hath thy countenance fallen?

Lo! thou has driven me out, this day, from off the face of the ground And from thy face, shall I be hid, So shall I become a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth. And it shall come to pass, whosoever findeth me, will slay me.

And Yahweh said to him - Not so, whosoever slayeth Cain seven - fold, shall it be avenged. So Yahweh set, for Cain, a sign, that none finding him should smite him.

So Cain went forth from the presence of Yahweh, - and dwelt in the land of Nod, eastward of Eden.

And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bare Enoch, - Now it happened that he was building a city, so he called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

So all the days of Adam which he lived, were nine hundred and thirty years, - and he died.

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

Then Yahweh saw that great, was the wickedness of man in the earth, and that, every purpose of the devices of his heart, was only wicked all the day;

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.

For in seven days more, I, am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, - so will I wipe out all the living things which I have made, from off the face of the ground.

So Noah entered, and his sons and his wife and his sons wives with him into the ark, - from before the waters of the flood,

On this selfsame day, entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth. Noah's sons, - and Noah's wife, and his sons' three wives with them into the ark:

So they entered in unto Noah, into the ark, - two and two of all flesh, wherein was the spirit of life.

Yea the waters, prevailed very greatly, on the earth, - so that all the high mountains became covered, that were under all the heavens:

fifteen cubits upwards, prevailed the waters, so that the mountains became covered.

Thus was wiped out all that existed on the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, thus were they wiped out from the earth, - so that there was left - only Noah and they that were with him in the ark.

and the waters returned from off the earth they went on returning, - and so the waters decreased at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

And he sent forth a dove from him, - to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face of the ground;

but the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot so she returned unto him into the ark, for, waters, were on the face of all the earth; and he put forth his hand and took her, and brought her in unto him, into the ark.

And the dove came in unto him at eventide, and lo! a newly sprouted olive-leaf, in her mouth, - so Noah knew that the waters had abated from off the earth.

So it came to pass in the six hundred and first year at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters had dried up from off the earth, - and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked and lo! the face of the ground was dried.

So then, God spake to Noah, saying:

So Noah came forth, - and his sons and his wife, and his sons wives with him:

And Yahweh smelled a satisfying odour, so Yahweh said to himself. I will not, again, curse any more the ground for man's sake, although the device of the heart of man, be wicked from his youth, - neither will I again, any more smite every living thing, as I have done.

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

and let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every living creature of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, - over everything that moveth along on the ground, and over all the fishes of the sea, - into your hand, have they been given.

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

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.

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 Noah began to he a husbandman, - so he planted a vineyard:

And Ham the father of Canaan saw his father's shame, - and told his two brethren outside.

And Shem and Japheth took a mantle, and put it on the shoulder of them both and went backwards, and covered the shame of their father, but their faces were backwards, and the shame of their father, saw they not.

so, all the days of Noah, were - nine hundred and fifty years, - and he died.

So the beginning of his kingdom came to be Babel, and Erech, and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, - and of one stock of words.

Then said they, each man to his friend, Come on! let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, - So the bricks, served them for stone, and bitumen, served them for mortar,

And they said Come on! let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower with its head in the heavens, so let us make for ourselves a name, - lest we be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth.

So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, - and so they left off building the city.

And Abram and Nahor took to themselves wives; the name of Abrams wife, was Sarai; and, the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, daughter of Haran father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.

And Terah took Abram his son and Lot son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, - and came forth with them out of Ur of the Chaldees, that they might go their way towards the land of Canaan, and they came in as far as Haran and dwelt there.

That I may bless them who bless thee, But him who maketh light of thee, will I curse, - So shall be, blessed in thee, all the families of the ground.

And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, with all the goods that they bad gathered and the souls that they had gained in Haran, - and they came forth to go towards the land of Canaan, and came in to the land of Canaan.

And Abram passed along throughout the land, as far as the place of Shechem as far as the Teacher's Terebinth, the Canaanite being then in the land.

And it came to pass that there was a famine, in the land, - so Abram went down towards Egypt, to sojourn there, because grievous, was the famine in the land.

so will it come to pass when the Egyptians behold thee, that they will say, His wife, this! and will slay me while thee, they preserve alive.

Say, I beseech thee that my sister, art thou, - to the end it may be well with me for thy sake, so shall my soul be preserved alive because of thee.

And so it was when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fair, was she exceedingly.

And the princes of Pharaoh beheld her, and praised her unto Pharaoh, - so the woman was taken to the house of Pharaoh;

and with Abram, dealt he well for her sake, - so that he came to have flocks and herds and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses and camels.

Wherefore saidst thou My sister, she; and so I was about to take her to me, to wife? But now, lo! thy wife take her and go thy way.

So Abram came up out of Egypt he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him, towards the South.

And the land suffered them not to dwell together, - because their substance had become, great, so that they could not dwell together.

So then Abram said unto Lot Pray let not cause of strife arise betwixt me and thee, or betwixt my herdmen and thy herdmen; for brethren, are we.

So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered, - before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into Zoar.

And Lot chose for himself all the circuit of the Jordan, so Lot brake up eastwards, - and they separated themselves, each man from his brother:

and I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, - so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also, may be numbered.

So Abram moved his tent and came in and dwelt among the oaks of Mamre, which were in Hebron, - and built there an altar to Yahweh.

All these, joined together in the valley of the open fields, the same, is the Salt Sea.

and in the fourteenth year, had Chedorlaomer come in and the kings who were with him, so they smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, - and the Emim, in Shaveh-kiriathaim;

So they returned and came in unto En-mishpat, the same, is Kadish, and smote all the field of the Amalekites, - and the Amorites also that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar,

Now, the valley of the open fields, had many pits of bitumen, so the king of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there, - while, they who remained, towards a mountain, fled.

And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son with his goods, and went their way, - he, being a dweller in Sodom.
