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

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

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.

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

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?

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

And he said, Who told thee that, naked, thou wast? Of the tree whereof I commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?

And enmity, will I put between thee, and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, - He shall crush thy head, but, thou, shalt crush his heel.

Unto the woman, he said, I will, increase, thy pain of pregnancy, In pain, shalt thou year children, - Yet, unto thy husband, shall be thy hinging, Though, he, rule over thee.

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;

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.

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.

Abel, also, even, he, brought in of the firstlings of his sheep, and of their fat, and Yahweh approved of Abel and of his present;

but of Cain and his present, he approved not, - and it angered Cain greatly, and his countenance fell.

Then said Yahweh unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said know not, the keeper of my brother, am, I?

And he said, What hast thou done? With a voice, the shed-blood of thy brother is crying out to me from the ground,

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.

And Adah bare Jabal, - he, was father of such as dwell in tents, and have cattle;

and, the name of his brother, was Jubal, - he, was father of everyone handling lyre and flute,

And to Seth - to him also, was born a son, and he called his name Enosh, - then, was a beginning made, to call on the name of Yahweh.

This, is the record of the generations of Adam. In the day when 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 they were created.

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

and all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, - and he died.

And Yahweh said - My spirit shall not rule in man to times age - abiding, for that, he also, is flesh, - Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

and it grieved Yahweh, that he had made man in the earth, - and he took sorrow unto his heart.

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

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

And it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth, - and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high above the earth,

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

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

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.

Then stayed he yet seven days more, - and, again sent forth the dove out of the ark.

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

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.

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

And he said, Accursed be Canaan, - a servant of servants, shall he be to his brethren!

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

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

And, Cush begat Nimrod. - he, became a hero in the earth;

he, became a hero of hunting before Yahweh, for this cause, it is said. Like Nimrod, a hero of hunting before Yahweh.

From that land, went forth Asshur, - and he built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah:

And Abram came on his way, according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto him, and Lot came with him, - now, Abram, was seventy-five years old, when he came forth out of Haran.

And Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said: To thy seed, will I give this land, - And he built there an altar, unto Yahweh who appeared unto him.

And he moved on from thence towards the hill country, on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, - with Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east, and bulk there an altar to Yahweh, and called on the name of Yahweh.

And it came to pass when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: Behold! I beseech thee I know that a woman fair to look on, thou art:

And he went his way, by his removals, from the South even as far as to Bethel, - as far as the place where his tent was at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai:

unto the place of the altar, which he made there at first, - and Abram called there, on the name of Yahweh.

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

And he divided himself against them by night, he, and his servants, and smote them, - and pursued them as far as Hobah, which was on the left of Damascus.

So he brought back all the goods, - yea Lot also his brother with his goods, did he bring back, and the women also, and the people.

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 brought him forth abroad and said - Look steadfastly. I pray thee towards the heavens, and number the stars, if thou be able to number, them, And he said to him, Thus, shall be thy seed.

And he had faith in Yahweh, - so he reckoned it to him as righteousness.

And he said unto him, - I, am Yahweh, who brought thee forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

And he said, My Lord Yahweh, whereby, can I know that I shall inherit it?

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.
