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.

And the man said, - The woman whom thou didst put with me, she, gave me of the tree, so I did eat.

So the man called the name of his wife, Eve, - in that, she, was made mother of every one living.

Now, the man, having come to know Eve his wife, - she conceived and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a Man, even Yahweh!

And she went on to hear his brother, Abel, - and Abel became a feeder of sheep, whereas Cain, was a tiller of the round.

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

Now therefore, accursed, art thou, - from the ground which hath opened her mouth, to receive the shed-blood of thy brother at thy hand.

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, as for Zillah, she also, bare Tubal-Cain, a sharpener of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron, - and, the sister of Tubal-Cain, was Naamah.

And Adam again knew his wife, and she bare a son, and called his name Seth, - For God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain slew him!

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

And Noah begat three sons, - Shem, Ham and Japheth.

On this selfsame day, entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth. Noah's sons, - and Noah's wife, and his sons' three wives with them into the ark:

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.

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.

And the sons of Noah who came forth out of the ark, were - Shem and Ham and Japheth, - now, Ham, was the father of Canaan.

And Shem and Japheth took a mantle, and put it on the shoulder of them both and went backwards, and covered the shame of their father, but their faces were backwards, and the shame of their father, saw they not.

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

God give extension to Japheth, But make his habitation in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be their servant.

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

Now, to Shem, father of all the sons of Eber, elder brother of Japheth, to him also, were children born.

The sons of Shem, Elam and Asshur, - and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

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

These, are the genealogies of Shem, Shem was a hundred years old when he begat Arpachshad, two years after the flood

and Shem lived after he begat Arpachshad, five hundred years, - and begat sons and daughters.

And, Sara, remained barren, - she had no child,

And so it was when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fair, was she exceedingly.

and with Abram, dealt he well for her sake, - so that he came to have flocks and herds and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses and camels.

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

Wherefore saidst thou My sister, she; and so I was about to take her to me, to wife? But now, lo! thy wife take her and go thy way.

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.

But Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children, - she had, however, an Egyptian handmaid, whose name was Hagar.

And he went in unto Hagar anti she conceived, - and when she saw that she had conceived, lightly esteemed, was her lady, in her eyes.

Then said Sarai unto Abram: My wrong, is, on thee! I, gave my handmaid into thy broom, and when she seeth that she hath conceived, then am lightly esteemed in her eyes Yahweh judge betwixt me and her.

And Abram said unto Sarai, Lo! thy handmaid, is in thy hand, do to her what is good in thine eyes. So Sarai humbled her, and she fled from her face.

So he said Hagar! handmaid of Sarai! Whence hast thou come, and whither wouldst thou go? And she said, From the face of Sarai, my lady, am, I, fleeing.

And she called the name of Yahweh, who had spoken unto her, Thou GOD of vision! For she said. Do I even here, retain my vision after a vision?

and I will bless her, yea moreover will give - from her - to thee, a son, - And I will bless her, and she shall become nations. Kings of peoples, from her, shall arise.

And they said unto him, As to Sarah thy wife -- And he said Lo! she is in the tent.

And Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not, For she was afraid. And he said - Nay! but thou didst laugh!

And the younger she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi, - the same, is the father of the sons of Ammon - unto this day.

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife: My, sister, is she, - So Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

Then God went in unto Abimelech, in a dream of the night, - and said to him, Behold thee dead! because of the woman whom thou hast taken, seeing that, she, is a married woman.

Had not, he himself, said to me, My sister, is she? and even she herself, said, My brother, is he? In the integrity of my heart and in the pureness of my hand, have I done this!

Moreover also, in truth, my sister daughter of my father, she is, only not daughter of my mother, - so she became my wife.

And she said - Who would have announced to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled children? yet have I borne a son, for his old age!

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian woman whom she had borne to Abraham laughing!

So she said to Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, - for the son of this bondwoman must not inherit with my son with Isaac.

So Abraham rose up early in the morning - and took bread and a skin of water and gave unto hagar, - putting them on her shoulder and the child, and sent her forth, - so she went her way and wandered, in the desert of Beer-sheba.

And the water out of the skin was spent, - so she cant the child under one of the shrubs;

and went and sat her down over against him at a distance like as of such as draw the bow, for she said Let me not look upon the death of the child, - So she sat down over against him, and the boy lifted up his voice, and wept

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, - and went and filled the skin with water, and gave drink unto the boy

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

And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.

so it shall come to pass that the young woman unto whom I shall say. Let down pray. thy pitcher that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink, and to thy camels also, will I give to drink, that, her! hast thou appointed for thy servant for Isaac, And, hereby, shall I get to know, that thou hast dealt in lovingkindness with my lord!

Now the young woman! was of very pleasing appearance, a virgin whom, no man, had known, - and she went down unto the fountain, and filled her pitcher and came up.

And she said, Drink my lord, - And she hastened and lowered her pitcher on her hand and let him drink.

And when she had done giving him drink, - she said For thy camels also, will I draw, until they have done drinking.

So she hastened and emptied her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and ran again unto the well, to draw, - and she drew for all his camels.

And she said unto him, Daughter of Bethuel, am, I, - Bethuel son of Milcah whom she bare to Nahor.

And she said unto him, Both straw and fodder in plenty, have we, - also a place to tarry the night.

then did Sarah wife of my lord, bear a son to my lord, after she had become old, - so he gave to him all that he had;

and she shall say unto me Both, thou, drink, and for thy camels also, will I draw, the same, shall be the woman whom Yahweh hath appointed for the son of my lord.

Ere yet, I, could make an end of speaking unto mine own heart, lo! then Rebekah, coming forth, with her pitcher on her shoulder, and she went down to the fountain, and drew, - and I said unto her Let me drink I pray thee!

So she hastened and lowered her pitcher from off her, and said. Drink! and to thy camels also, will I give to drink, - So I drank and the camels also, she let drink.

Then I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said Daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom, Milcah, bare to him, - Then put I the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands;

Then said her brother and her mother, Let the young woman remain with us some days or rather ten, - After that, she shall go.

So they called Rebekah and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac, - so she alighted with haste from off the camel;

and said unto the servant, Who is this man that is walking in the field to meet us? And the servant said, That, is my lord. So she took the veil and covered herself.

And Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother; thus he took Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her, - and Isaac consoled himself, for the loss of his mother.

and she bare to him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, - and Ishbak, and Shuah.

So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife, for she was, barren, - and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

And the sons within her struggled together, so she said - If so, wherefore now am, I, thus ? And she went to seek Yahweh.

And, after that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob - Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare them,

Then asked the men of the place as to his wife, and he said, My sister, is she, - For he feared to say My wife, lest said he the men of the place should slay me on account of Rebekah, for fair to Nook on, she is.

So Abimelech called for Isaac, and said, But to she is, thy wife! How then, saidst thou, She is, my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because, I said, Lest I die on her account.

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

then placed she the dainty meats and the bread, which she had made ready, in the hand of Jacob her son.

Then were told to Rebekah, the words of Esau her elder son, so she sent and called for Jacob, her younger son, and said unto him - Lo! Esau, thy brother, is consoling himself as touching thee, to slay thee.

While yet he was speaking with them, Rachel, had come in with the sheep which belonged to her father, for a shepherdess, was she.

And when Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son, then ran she, and told her father.

So Leah conceived, and hare a son, and called his name Reuben, - for she said, Because, Yahweh hath looked upon my humiliation, For, now, will my husband love me.

And she conceived again, and bare a son, and said. Because Yahweh heard that, I, was I hated, he gave me, this one also. So she called his name Simeon.

And she conceived again and bare a son, and said, Now - this time, will my husband he bound unto me, For I have borne him three sons, - For this cause, called she his name Levi.

And she conceived again and bare a son, and said This time, will I praise Yahweh, For which cause, she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.

And Rachel saw she had borne no children unto Jacob, so Rachel became envious of her sister, - and said unto Jacob, Come! give me children, or else, I die.

And she said, Lo! my handmaid, Bilhah. Go in unto her, - that she may hear upon my knees, so that, I also, may be builded up by her!

And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid, to wife, - and Jacob went in unto her;

and Rachel said God hath vindicated me. Moreover also he hath hearkened unto my voice, and hath given me a son. For this cause, called she his name Dan.

Then said Rachel With wrestlings of God, have I wrestled with my sister Yea I have prevailed. So she called his name, Naphtali.

Then saw Leah, that she had left off bearing, - so she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.

and Leah said, Victory hath come! So she called his name Gad.

and Leah said, For my happiness, surely happy have daughters pronounced me. So she called his name, Asher.

And she said to her, Is it, a small thing, that thou hast taken away my husband? And wouldst thou take away, even the mandrakes of my son? Then said Rachel, Therefore, shall he lie with thee to-night, for the mandrakes of thy son.

And God hearkened unto Leah, - and she conceived and bare to Jacob a fifth son.

Then said Leah. God hath given my hire, in that I gave my handmaid to my husband. So she called his name, Issachar.

Then said Leah, God hath dowered me even me with a hand-some dowry, Now! will my husband dwell with me, for I have borne him six sons. So she called his name, Zebulon.

And afterwards she bare a daughter, - so she called her name, Dinah.
