and called the light "day," and the darkness "night." And so of the evening and morning was made the first day.

And God called the firmament "heaven." And so of the evening and morning was made the second day.

And God said, "Let the waters that are under heaven gather themselves unto one place, that the dry land may appear." And it came so to pass.

And God said, "Let the earth bring forth herb and grass that sow seed, and fruitful trees that bear fruit, every one in his kind, having their seed in themselves, upon the earth." And it came so to pass.

and then of the evening and morning was made the third day.

Then said God, "Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day from the night; that they may be unto signs, seasons, days and years.

And let them be lights in the firmament of heaven, to shine upon the earth." And so it was.

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

And God put them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth,

and to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light from darkness. And God saw that it was good:

and so of the evening and morning was made the fourth day.

And God said, "Let the water bring forth creatures that move and have life, and fowls for to fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven."

And God said, "See, I have given you all herbs that sow seed which are on all the earth, and all manner trees that have fruit in them and sow seed; to be meat for you,

and for all beasts of the earth, and unto all fowls of the air, and unto all that creepeth on the earth wherein is life, that they may have all manner herbs and grass for to eat." And even so it was.

And God beheld all that he had made, and lo they were exceeding good: and so of the evening and morning was made the sixth day.

and in the seventh day God ended his work which he had made and rested in the seventh day from all his works which he had made.

and all the shrubs of the field before they were in the earth. And all the herbs of the field before they sprang: for the LORD God had yet sent no rain upon the earth, neither was there yet any man to till the earth.

And the LORD God made to spring out of the earth, all manner trees beautiful to the sight and pleasant to eat; and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

And there sprung a river out of Eden to water the garden, and thence divided itself, and grew into four principal waters.

And the LORD God took Adam and put him in the garden of Eden, to dress it and to keep it.

But of the tree of knowledge of good and bad see that thou eat not: For even the same day thou eatest of it, thou shalt surely die.

And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone. I will make him a helper to bear him company."

And after that the LORD God had made of the earth all manner beasts of the field, and all manner fowls of the air, he brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. And as Adam called all manner living beasts: even so are their names.

And Adam gave names unto all manner cattle, and unto the fowls of the air, and unto all manner beasts of the field. But there was no help found unto Adam to bear him company.

but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, said God, see that ye eat not, and see that ye touch it not: lest ye die."

Then said the serpent unto the woman, "Tush, ye shall not die:

And the woman saw that it was a good tree to eat of, and lusty unto the eyes, and a pleasant tree for to make wise. And took of the fruit of it and ate, and gave unto her husband also with her, and he ate.

And they heard the voice of the LORD God as he walked in the garden in the cool of the day. And Adam hid himself and his wife also from the face of the LORD God, among the trees of the garden.

And Adam answered, "The woman which thou gavest to bear me company, she took me of the tree, and I ate."

and the LORD God cast him out of the garden of Eden, to till the earth whence he was taken.

And he cast Adam out, and set at the entering of the garden Eden, Cherubim with a naked sword moving in and out, to keep the way to the tree of life.

And Abel, he brought also of the firstlings of his sheep and of the fat of them. And the LORD looked unto Abel and to his offering:

And now cursed be thou as pertaining to the earth, which opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood of thine hand.

Behold, thou castest me out this day from off the face of the earth, and from thy sight must I hide myself, and I must be a vagabond and a renegade upon the earth: Moreover whosoever findeth me, will kill me."

Then said God to Noah, "The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of their mischief. And lo, I will destroy them with the earth.

For behold, I will bring in a flood of water upon the earth to destroy all flesh from under heaven, wherein breath of life is, so that all that is in the earth shall perish.

"And of all that liveth, whatsoever flesh it be, shalt thou bring into the ark, of every thing a pair, to keep them alive with thee.

And male and female see that they be, of birds in their kind, and of beasts in their kind, and of all manner of worms of the earth in their kind: a pair of every thing shall come unto thee to keep them alive.

And Noah did according to all that God commanded him.

likewise of the birds of the air seven of every kind, male and female to save seed upon all the earth.

And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him:

And the seventh day the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

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

And the selfsame day went Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them in to the ark:

And God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to blow upon the earth, and the waters ceased;

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

And the waters went away, and decreased until the tenth month. And the first day of the tenth month, the tops of the mountains appeared.

Then sent he forth a dove from him, to wete whether the waters were fallen from off the earth.

And when the dove could find no resting place for her foot, she returned to him again unto the ark, for the waters were upon the face of all the earth. And he put out his hand and took her and pulled her to him into the ark.

and the dove came to him again about eventide, and behold: there was in her mouth a leaf of an olive tree which she had plucked, whereby Noah perceived that the waters were abated upon the earth.

And he tarried yet seven other days, and sent forth the dove, which from thenceforth came no more again to him.

And it came to pass, the six hundred and one year and the first day of the first month, that the waters were dried up upon the earth. And Noah took off the hatches of the ark and looked: and behold, the face of the earth was dry.

So by the twenty seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.

Neither shall sowing time and harvest, cold, and heat, summer and winter, day and night cease, as long as the earth endureth."

Furthermore, God spake unto Noah and to his sons with him saying,

I make my covenant with you, that henceforth all flesh shall not be destroyed with the waters of any flood, and that henceforth there shall not be a flood to destroy the earth."

And then will I think upon my covenant which I have made between me and you, and all that liveth, whatsoever flesh it be. So that henceforth there shall be no more waters to make a flood to destroy all flesh.

The bow shall be in the clouds, and I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and all that liveth upon the earth, whatsoever flesh it be."

And the LORD said, "See, the people is one and have one tongue among them all: And this have they begun to do, and will not leave off from all that they have purposed to do.

Thus the LORD scattered them from thence upon all the earth. And they left off to build the city.

And when he was come nigh for to enter into Egypt, he said unto Sarai his wife, "Behold, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon.

It will come to pass, therefore, when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, 'she is his wife.' And so shall they slay me and save thee.

Why saidest thou that she was thy sister, and causedest me to take her to my wife? But now, lo, there is thy wife: take her and be walking."

Pharaoh also gave a charge unto his men over Abram, to lead him out, with his wife and all that he had.
