And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear. And it was so.

And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, [and] fruit trees bearing fruit according to their kind (in which is the seed of them) upon the earth. And it was so.

And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed according to their kind, and trees bearing fruit in which is the seed of it, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.

And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.

And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth. And it was so.

And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, also the stars.

And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,

and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

And God created the great sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kind. And it was so.

And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind, and the cattle according to their kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upo

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you it shall be for food,

and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth in which there is life, for food--every green herb. And it was so.

And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that LORD God made earth and heaven.

And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up, for LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth. And there was not a man to till the ground,

And out of the ground LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, also the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it was divided, and became four heads.

And LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat of it. For in the day that thou eat of it thou shall surely die.

And out of the ground LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and whatever the man called every living creature, that was the name of it.

And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field, but for man there was not found a help meet for him.

And LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept. And [God] took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in place of it.

And the rib, which LORD God had taken from the man, he made a woman, and brought her to the man.

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his wife, and {the two (LXX/NT)} shall be one flesh.

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, Yea, has God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?

And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,

but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, nor shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.

For God knows that in the day ye eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate. And she also gave to her husband with her, and h

And they heard the voice of LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

And LORD God called to the man, and said to him, Where are thou?

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

And LORD God said to the woman, What is this thou have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.

And LORD God said to the serpent, Because thou have done this, cursed are thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. Upon thy belly thou shall go, and dust thou shall eat all the days of thy life.

To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy childbearing, in pain thou shall bring forth children. And thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

And to Adam he said, Because thou have hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shall not eat of it, cursed is the ground for thy sake. In toil thou shall eat of it all

Also, thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to thee, and thou shall eat the herb of the field.

In the sweat of thy face thou shall eat bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it thou were taken. For thou are dust, and to dust thou shall return.

And LORD God said, Behold, the man has become as one of us--to know good and evil--and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever--

therefore LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from where he was taken.

So he drove out the man. And he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way of the tree of life.

And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought an offering to LORD of the fruit of the ground.

And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat of it. And LORD had respect to Abel and to his offering,

but he did not have respect to Cain and to his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

And LORD said to Cain, Why are thou angry? And why has thy countenance fallen?

If thou do well, shall thou not be accepted? And if thou do not well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire shall be for thee, and thou shall rule over it.

And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and killed him.

And LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not. Am I my brother's keeper?

And he said, What have thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood cries to me from the ground.

And now cursed are thou from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.

When thou till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield to thee its strength. A fugitive and a wanderer thou shall be on the earth.

And Cain said to LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

Behold, thou have driven me out this day from the face of the ground, and I shall be hid from thy face, and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. And it shall come to pass, that whoever finds me shall slay me.

And LORD said to him, Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And LORD appointed a sign for Cain, lest any who finds him should smite him.

And to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech.

And Lamech took to him two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech. For I have killed a man for wounding me, and a young man for bruising me.

And to Seth, to him also there was born a son, and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of LORD.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God he made him,

male and female he created them, and blessed them, and called their name Man, in the day when they were created.

And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot [a son] in his own likeness, according to his image, and called his name Seth.

And Jared lived a hundred sixty-two years, and begot Enoch.

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

And Methuselah lived seven hundred eighty-two years after he begot Lamech, and begot sons and daughters.

And Lamech lived a hundred eighty-two years, and begot a son.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair. And they took to them wives of all that they chose.

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days. And also after that, when the sons of God came to the daughters of men, and they bore sons to them, the same were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

And LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground, from man, to beast, to creeping things, and birds of the heavens, for I regret that I have made them.

And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them, and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Thou shall make a light for the ark, and thou shall finish it to a cubit upward. And thou shall set the door of the ark in the side of it, with lower, second, and third stories thou shall make it.

And I, behold, I bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of life, from under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die.

And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort thou shall bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee. They shall be male and female.

Of the birds according to their kind, and of the cattle according to their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind. Two of every sort shall come to thee, to keep them alive.

And take thou to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee, and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

And LORD said to Noah, Come, thou and all thy house into the ark, for I have seen thee righteous before me in this generation.

Of every clean beast thou shall take to thee by sevens, the male and his female. And of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female.

Also of the birds of the heavens by sevens, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the ground.

And Noah did according to all that LORD commanded him.

there went in two by two to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

In the selfsame 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,

they, and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every bird of every sort.

And they went in to Noah into the ark, two by two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, from birds, to cattle, to beasts, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man.

And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, from man, to cattle, to creeping things, and birds of the heavens, and they were destroyed from the earth. And only Noah was left, and those who were with h

And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
