And God saw the light that it was good. And God divided between the light and the darkness.

And God said, Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

And God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

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 God called the dry land, Earth. And He called the gathering together of the waters, Seas. And God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth tender sprouts (the herb seeding seed and the fruit tree producing fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself) upon the earth; and it was so.

And the earth brought forth tender sprouts, the herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree producing fruit after its kind, whose seed was in itself. And God saw that it was good.

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

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 God created great sea-animals, and every living soul that creeps with which the waters swarmed after their kind; and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creepers, and its beasts of the earth after its kind; and it was so.

And God made the beasts of the earth after its kind, and cattle after their kind, and all creepers upon the earth after their kind. And God saw that it was good.

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

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.

The name of the first is Pishon; that is it which surrounds all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.

And the name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that surrounds the whole land of Cush.

And the name of the third river is Tigris; it is that which goes toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

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

And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, You may freely eat of every tree in the garden,

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 Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.

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 said, This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman because she was taken out of man.

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.

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 He said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree which I commanded you that you should not eat?

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.

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,

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 Cain talked with his brother Abel. And it happened when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.

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

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.

Behold! You have driven me out from the face of the earth today, and I shall be hidden from Your face. And I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth, and it shall be that anyone who finds me shall kill me.

And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah and lived in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

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

And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and with cattle.

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 the days of Adam after he had fathered Seth were eight hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters.

And after he fathered Enos, Seth lived eight hundred and seven years. And he fathered sons and daughters.

And after he fathered Cainan, Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years. And he fathered sons and daughters.

And after he fathered Mahalaleel, Cainan lived eight hundred and forty years. And he fathered sons and daughters.

And after he fathered Jared, Mahalaleel lived eight hundred and thirty years. And he fathered sons and daughters.

And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred and ninety-five years. And he died.

And after he fathered Enoch, Jared lived eight hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters.

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

And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, in his erring; he is flesh. Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

And God looked upon the earth. And, behold, it was corrupted! For all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.

Make an ark of cyprus timbers. You shall make rooms in the ark. And you shall pitch it inside and outside with pitch.

And this is the way you shall make it. The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it shall be fifty cubits and its height thirty cubits.

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 take for yourself all food that is eaten, and you shall gather for yourself. And it shall be for food, for you and for them.

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 it happened after seven days that the waters of the flood came into being on the earth.

And the flood was upon the earth forty days. And the waters increased and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.

And it happened, at the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

And he sent forth a raven, and it went out, going out and returning until the waters were dried up from off 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 he waited yet another seven days. And again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.

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

And it happened in the six hundred and first year, at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked. And, behold, the face of the earth was dried!

Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives with you.

Bring out with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, of fowl, of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, so that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.

And Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.

Every animal, every fowl, and every creeping thing, all which creeps upon the earth after their families, went forth out of the ark.

But you shall not eat of flesh with the life in it, or the blood of it.

and surely the blood of your lives will I require. At the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of man. At the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

And you be fruitful and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and increase in it.

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.

I set my rainbow in the cloud. And it shall be a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.

And it shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud.

And the rainbow shall be in the cloud. And I will look upon it that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

And the sons of Noah that went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.

And Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders. And they went backwards and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backwards, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

And Noah awoke from his wine, and came to know what his younger son had done to him.

He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah. Therefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before Jehovah.

Out of that land he went forth to Asshur. And he built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

And it happened, as they traveled from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar. And they lived there.

Therefore the name of it is called Babel; because Jehovah confused the language of all the earth there. And from there Jehovah scattered them abroad on the face of all the earth.

And Jehovah said to Abram, Go out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house into a land that I will show you.

And it happened, when he had come near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look upon.

And it will be when the Egyptians see you, they shall say, This is his wife. And they will kill me, but they will save you alive.

I pray you, say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me for your sake. And my soul shall live because of you.
