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 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 the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

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 Jehovah.

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

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

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

In this same day, Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark.

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 sent forth the dove. And she did not return again to him any more.

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

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 he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the 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 their servant.

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

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

The sons 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, and after their nations.

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

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

But Sarai was barren. She had no child.

And he treated Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and male servants, and maidservants, and she-asses, and camels.

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 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 turtledove, and a young pigeon.

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, did not bear. And she had a female slave, an Egyptian, 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 despised in her eyes.

And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be upon you. I have given my slave woman into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and you.

But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your slave woman is in your hand. Do to her as it pleases you. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

And He said, Hagar, Sarai's slave, 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 Jehovah who had spoken to her, You are a God of vision! For she said, Even here have I looked after Him that sees me?

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

Then Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And He said, No, 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 first-born went in, and lay with her father. And he did not notice 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 did not notice when she lay down nor when she arose.

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, you are about to die, for the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

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

And yet truly she is my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.

And she said, Who could have said to Abraham, will Sarah suckle children? For I have borne a son to him 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 slave woman and her son. For the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son, with Isaac.

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

And the water was gone in the bottle, and she cast the boy under one of the shrubs.

And she went and sat down across from him, a good way off, about a bowshot. For she said, Let me not see the death of the boy. And she sat across from him, and lifted up her voice, and cried.

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

And it happened after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold Milcah! She also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

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

And let it be that the young woman to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, please, so that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also. Let her be the one that You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by it I shall know that You have shown kindness to my master.

And the young woman was very beautiful 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 hurried and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave a drink to him.

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 hurried, and emptied her pitcher in 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, 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 he has given to him all that he has.

and she says to me, Both you drink, and I will also draw for your camels, may she be the woman whom Jehovah has appointed for my master's son.

And before I finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. And she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, Please let me drink.

And she hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give drink to your camels 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 to him. And I put the earring upon her nose and the bracelets upon her hands.

And her brother and her mother said, Let the young woman stay with us perhaps ten days. After that she shall go.

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

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

For she said to the servant, What man is this that walks in the field to meet us? And the servant 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 prayed to Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren. And Jehovah heard him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

And the sons struggled together within her. And she said, If it is so, why am I this way? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

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

And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister. For he feared to say, My wife; lest the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she was beautiful of form.

And Abimelech called Isaac and said, Behold! She surely is your wife. And why did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account of her.

And she put the skins from the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.

And she gave the delicious things and the bread which she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.

And these words of her older son Esau were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called her younger son Jacob, and said to him, Behold, your brother Esau is going to ease himself on you, to kill you.

While he still 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 Jehovah has looked upon my afflictions. Now therefore my husband will love me.

And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah 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 my husband will return to me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore his name was called Levi.

And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, This time I will praise Jehovah. Therefore she called his name Judah, and quit bearing.

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

And she said, Behold my slave woman Bilhah; go in to her, and she shall bear upon my knees, and yea, let me be built up from her, me also.

And she gave him her slave woman Bilhah to wife. And Jacob went in to her.

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

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

When Leah saw that she had quit bearing, she took her slave woman Zilpah and gave her to Jacob to wife.

And Leah said, With fortune. And she called his name Gad.

And Leah said, I am happy, for the daughters will call me blessed. And she called his name Asher.

And she said to her, Is it a small matter that you have taken my husband? And would you also take my son's love-apples? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with you tonight for your son's love-apples.

And God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son.

And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I gave my slave to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.

And Leah said, God has given me a good present. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.

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

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

And she called his name Joseph. And she said, May Jehovah add another son to me.
