And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.

And Man said, The woman, whom thou hast given to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

And Man called his wife's name Eve; because she is the mother of all living.

And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.

And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.

And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.

And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ... For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.

And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

On the same day went Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.

Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.

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

And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid it upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they saw not their father's nakedness.

And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.

Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.

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

And to Shem to him also were sons born; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

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

These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.

And Shem lived after he had begotten Arphaxad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

And Sarai was barren: she had no child.

And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee.

And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.

And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels.

And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take her, and go away.

And he said to him, Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.

And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar.

And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was lightly esteemed in her eyes.

And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on thee! I have given my maidservant into thy bosom; and now she sees that she has conceived, I am lightly esteemed in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee!

And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maidservant is in thy hand: do to her what is good in thine eyes. And Sarai oppressed her; and she fled from her face.

And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maidservant, whence comest thou? and whither art thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.

And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou art the God who reveals himself, for she said, Also here have I seen after he has revealed himself.

And I will bless her, and I will give thee a son also of her; and I will bless her, and she shall become nations: kings of peoples shall be of her.

And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.

And his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; the same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman that thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.

Did he not say to me, She is my sister? and she, even she said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and in the innocency of my hands have I done this.

But she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

And it came to pass when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, Let this be thy kindness which thou shalt shew to me: at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, let that be to thee a covering of the eyes, in respect of all that are with thee, and with all; and she was reproved.

And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

And she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son with Isaac.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,

and she went and sat down over against him, a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice and wept.

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.

And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:

And his concubine, named Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maacah.

And let it come to pass, that the maiden to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink, and who will say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, be she whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and hereby I shall know that thou hast dealt kindly with my master.

And it came to pass before he had ended speaking, that behold, Rebecca came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother; and she had her pitcher upon her shoulder.

And the maiden was very fair in countenance; a virgin, and no man had known her. And she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

And she said, Drink, my lord! And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him to drink.

And when she had given him enough to drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have drunk enough.

And she hasted and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water; and she drew for all his camels.

And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.

And she said to him, There is straw, and also much provender with us; also room to lodge.

And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master after she had grown old; and unto him has he given all that he has.

and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels that she should be the woman whom Jehovah hath appointed for my master's son.

And she hasted and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. And I drank; and she gave the camels drink also.

And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.

And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us some days, or say ten; after that she shall go.

And they called Rebecca and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

And Rebecca lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and she sprang off the camel.

And she had said to the servant, Who is the man that is walking in the fields to meet us? And the servant said, That is my master! Then she took the veil, and covered herself.

And Isaac led her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after the death of his mother.

And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca his wife conceived.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, my wife, saying to himself, Lest the men of the place slay me on account of Rebecca because she was fair in countenance.

Then Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is certainly thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? and Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account of her.

and she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck;

and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.

And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, comforts himself that he will kill thee.

While he was still speaking to them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

And Jacob told Rachel that he was a brother of her father, and that he was Rebecca's son; and she ran and told her father.

And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.

And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.

And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Now this time will my husband be united to me, for I have borne him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.

And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, This time will I praise Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah. And she ceased to bear.

And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.

And she said, Behold, there is my maid, Bilhah: go in to her, in order that she may bear on my knees, and I may also be built up by her.

And she gave him Bilhah her maidservant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

And Rachel said, God has done me justice, and has also heard my voice, and given me a son; therefore she called his name Dan.

And Rachel said, Wrestlings of God have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed; and she called his name Naphtali.

And when Leah saw that she had ceased to bear, she took Zilpah her maidservant and gave her to Jacob as wife.

And Leah said, Fortunately! and she called his name Gad.

And Leah said, Happy am I; for the daughters will call me blessed! and she called his name Asher.

And she said to her, Is it too little that thou hast taken my husband, that thou wilt take my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maidservant to my husband; and she called his name Issachar.

and Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; this time will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.

And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
