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.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

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

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

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

And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every forger in bronze and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, has appointed me another child instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

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

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

In the very same day entered 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;

But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

Whoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and 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 went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

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

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

The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, 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 begat Arpachshad two years after the flood:

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

But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

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

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

Why did you say, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me as a wife: now therefore behold your wife, take her, and go your way.

Now Sarai Abram's wife bore him no children: and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

And Sarai said unto Abram, The wrong done to me be upon you: I have given my maid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and you.

But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand; do to her as it pleases you. And when Sarai dealt harshly with her, she fled from her face.

And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, where did you come from? and where will you go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

And she called the name of the LORD that spoke unto her, You God, see me: for she said, Have I also here seen him that sees me?

And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall come from her.

Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but you did laugh.

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

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

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

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you are but a dead man, for the woman that you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands have I done this.

And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to you a vindication of the eyes, unto all that are with you, and with all others: thus she was righted.

And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have nursed 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 unto Abraham, mocking.

Therefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a skin of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

And the water was used up in the skin, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

And she went, and sat down apart from him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat away from 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 skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.

And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she has also borne children unto your brother Nahor;

And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.

And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, I pray you, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: let the same be she that you have appointed for your servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that you have showed kindness unto my master.

And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hastened, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.

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

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

She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and fodder enough, and room to lodge in.

And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old: and unto him has he given all that he has.

And she says to me, Both drink, and I will also draw for your camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD has appointed out for my master's son.

And before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray you.

And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore unto him: and I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her arms.

And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.

And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.

And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel.

For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walks in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.

And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

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

And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah 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 the LORD.

And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was three score years old when she bore them.

And the men of the place asked him about his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a truth she is your wife: and how said you, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.

And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:

And she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, your brother Esau, concerning you, does comfort himself, purposing to kill you.

And while he yet spoke with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.

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

And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD has looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

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

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

And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and ceased bearing.

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

And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.

And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid as his wife: and Jacob went in unto her.

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

And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.

When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her to Jacob as his wife.

And Leah said, A troop comes: 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 unto her, Is it a small matter that you have taken my husband? and would you take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes.

And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son.

And Leah said, God has given me my reward, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.

And Leah said, God has endued me with a good dowry; now 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.

And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, God has taken away my reproach:
