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

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

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

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 fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth.

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 the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

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.

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

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 they were both naked, the man and his wife; and they were not ashamed.

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 the eyes of both of them were opened. And they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made girdles for themselves.

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

And he said, I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I am naked, and I hid myself.

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 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 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years. And he died.

And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years. And he died.

And all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years. And he died.

And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died.

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

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

And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

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

And he called his name Noah, saying, This one shall comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which Jehovah has cursed.

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

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

the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were good. And they took wives for themselves from all whom they chose.

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 said, I will destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the earth, both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air. For I repent that I have made them.

These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.

But I will establish My covenant with you. And you shall come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.

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.

Of the clean animals, and of the animals that were not clean, and of the fowls, and of everything that creeps on the earth,

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.

And the waters prevailed and were increased greatly upon the earth. And the ark floated upon the face of the waters.

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth. And all the high hills that were under the whole heaven were covered.

The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

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.

Also the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and rain from heaven was restrained.

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.

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 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.

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon the animals of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon all that moves on the earth, and upon all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered.

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.

Behold! I, even I, establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

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

These are the three sons of Noah, and the whole earth was overspread from them.

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 all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years. And he died.

Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.

By these were the coasts of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

These were the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

And to Shem were born, even him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

And two sons were born to Eber. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. And his brother's name was Joktan.

and Ophir and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, and after their nations.

These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. And from these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old and fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood.

Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah fathered Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran fathered Lot.

And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. And he went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and lived there.

And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years. And Terah died in Haran.

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 I will make you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you shall be a blessing.

And Jehovah appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your seed. And he built an altar there to Jehovah who appeared to him.

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.

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.

And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she is your wife?

Why did you say, She is my sister? And so I was about to take her to me as wife. Now therefore behold your wife. Take her and go.

And he went on his journeys from the south, even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been from the beginning, between Bethel and Hai,

And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are men, brothers.

Is not the whole land before you? I pray you, separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before Jehovah, exceedingly so.

And after Lot was separated from him, Jehovah said to Abram, Lift up your eyes now and look from the place where you are northward and southward, and eastward and westward.

For all the land which you see I will give to you, and to your seed forever.

And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then shall your seed also be counted.
