And God called the light, Day. And He called the darkness, Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And God called the expanse, Heavens. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so.

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

And God said, Let there be lights 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 let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth. And it was so.

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

And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,

and to rule over the day and over the night; and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

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 fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth.

And God said, Behold! I have given you every herb seeding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree seeding seed; to you it shall be for food.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeper on the earth which has in it a living soul every green plant is for food; and it was so.

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

And on the seventh day God ended 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 sanctified it, because in it He had rested from all His work which God created to make.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created in the day that Jehovah God made the earth and the heavens.

And every shrub of the field was not yet on the earth, and every plant of the field had not yet sprung up, for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.

And out of the ground Jehovah God caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food. The tree of life also was in the middle of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden. And from there it was divided and became four heads.

And Jehovah God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

but you shall not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every animal of the field and every fowl of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.

And Adam gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field. But there was not found a suitable helper for Adam.

And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept. And He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh underneath.

And Jehovah God made the rib (which He had taken from the man) into a woman. And He brought her to the man.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife and they shall be one flesh.

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Is it so that God has said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden.

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.

And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die,

for God knows that in the day you eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as God, knowing good and evil.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasing to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make wise, she took of its fruit, and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God in the middle of the trees of the garden.

And Jehovah God called to Adam and said to him, Where are you?

And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

And Jehovah God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

And Jehovah God said to the serpent, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every animal of the field. You shall go upon your belly, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

To the woman He said, I will greatly increase your sorrow and your conception. In pain you shall bear sons, and your desire shall be toward your husband, and he shall rule over you.

And to Adam He said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it! The ground is cursed for your sake. In pain shall you eat of it all the days of your life.

It shall also bring forth thorns and thistles to you, and you shall eat the herb of the field.

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

And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man has 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 forever,

therefore Jehovah God sent him out from the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he had been taken.

And He drove out the man. And He placed cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

And in the end of days, it happened, Cain brought to Jehovah an offering of the fruit of the ground.

And Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat of it. And Jehovah had respect to Abel and to his offering,

but He did not have respect to Cain and to his offering. And Cain glowed with anger, and his face fell.

And Jehovah said to Cain, Why have you angrily glowed? And why did your face fall?

If you do well, shall you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin crouches at the door; and its desire is for you, and you shall rule over it.

And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?

And He said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to Me from the ground.

And now you are cursed more than the ground which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

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 said to Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

And Jehovah said to him, Therefore whoever kills Cain shall be avenged seven times. And Jehovah set a mark upon Cain so that anyone who found him should not kill him.

And Irad was born to Enoch. And Irad fathered Mehujael. And Mehujael fathered Methusael. And Methusael fathered Lamech.

And Lamech took two wives to himself. The name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.

And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, wives of Lamech, listen to my speech. For I have killed a man because of my wound, and a young man because of my hurt.

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

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

He created them male and female, and blessed them. And He called their name man in the day when they were created.

And Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years and fathered Enoch.

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

And after he fathered Lamech, Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years. And he fathered sons and daughters.

And Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years and fathered a son.

And it happened, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and when daughters were born to them,

There were giants in the earth in those days. And also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore to them, they were mighty men who existed of old, men of renown.

And Jehovah repented that He had made man on the earth, and He was angry to His heart.

And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

You shall make a window in the ark, and you shall finish it above to a cubit. And you shall set the door of the ark in the side of it. You shall make it with lower, second and third stories.

And behold! I, even I, am bringing a flood of waters upon the earth in order to destroy all flesh (in which is the breath of life) from under the heavens. Everything which is in the earth shall die.

And you shall bring into the ark two of every kind, of every living thing of all flesh, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

Two of every kind shall come to you to keep them alive; of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind.

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

And Jehovah said to Noah, You and all your house come into the ark, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation.

You shall take with you every clean animal by sevens, the male and female. And take two of the animals that are not clean, the male and female.

Also take of the fowls of the air by sevens, the male and the female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

For in seven more days I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights. And I will destroy from off the face of the earth every living thing that I have made.

And Noah did according to all that Jehovah commanded him.

two by two they went in to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

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

In this same day, Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark.

And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which is the breath of life.

And every living thing which was on the face of the earth was destroyed, from man to cattle, and to the creeping things, and the fowls of the heavens. And they were destroyed from the earth, and only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. And the tops of the mountains were seen in the tenth month on the first day of the month.

He also sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had gone down from off the face of the earth.

But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot. And she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark.

And the dove came in to him in the evening. And, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from off the earth.

And he waited yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove. And she did not return again to him any more.

And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

And God spoke to Noah, saying,

And Noah built an altar to Jehovah. And he took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

And God blessed Noah and his sons. And He said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

and with every living creature that is with you, of the birds, of the cattle, and of every animal of the earth with you; from all that go out from the ark, to every animal of the earth.
