Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

And God gave the arch the name of Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

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

And God said, Let there be lights in the arch of heaven, for a division between the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for marking the changes of the year, and for days and for years:

And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.

And God made the two great lights: the greater light to be the ruler of the day, and the smaller light to be the ruler of the night: and he made the stars.

And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;

To have rule over the day and the night, and for a division between the light and the dark: and God saw that it was good.

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

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

And God said, Let the earth give birth to all sorts of living things, cattle and all things moving on the earth, and beasts of the earth after their sort: and it was so.

And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.

And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.

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

And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.

And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.

In the day when the Lord God made earth and heaven there were no plants of the field on the earth, and no grass had come up: for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to do work on the land.

And out of the earth the Lord made every tree to come, delighting the eye and good for food; and in the middle of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

And a river went out of Eden giving water to the garden; and from there it was parted and became four streams.

And the name of the third river is Tigris, which goes to the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to do work in it and take care of it.

But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.

And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be by himself: I will make one like himself as a help to him

And from the earth the Lord God made every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and took them to the man to see what names he would give them: and whatever name he gave to any living thing, that was its name.

And the man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of the air and to every beast of the field; but Adam had no one like himself as a help.

And the bone which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and took her to the man.

For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.

Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?

But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.

And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you:

For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil.

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

And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.

And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you?

And he said, Who gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take?

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

And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it.

And the Lord God said to the snake, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your life:

To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.

And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life.

With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.

So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which he was taken.

So he sent the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he put winged ones and a flaming sword turning every way to keep the way to the tree of life.

And the man had connection with Eve his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to Cain, and said, I have got a man from the Lord.

Then again she became with child and gave birth to Abel, his brother. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a farmer.

And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.

And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your face sad?

If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.

And Cain said to his brother, Let us go into the field: and when they were in the field, Cain made an attack on his brother Abel and put him to death.

And the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I have no idea: am I my brother's keeper?

And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth.

And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;

You have sent me out this day from the face of the earth and from before your face; I will be a wanderer in flight over the earth, and whoever sees me will put me to death.

And the Lord said, Truly, if Cain is put to death, seven lives will be taken for his. And the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one might put him to death.

And Cain had connection with his wife and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch: and he made a town, and gave the town the name of Enoch after his son.

And Lamech had two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

And Adah gave birth to Jabal: he was the father of such as are living in tents and keep cattle.

And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, who is the father of every maker of cutting instruments of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, give ear to my voice; you wives of Lamech, give attention to my words, for I would put a man to death for a wound, and a young man for a blow;

If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.

And Adam had connection with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name of Seth: for she said, God has given me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain put to death.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God made man, he made him in the image of God;

Male and female he made them, naming them Man, and giving them his blessing on the day when they were made.

And all the years of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty: and he came to his end.

And all the years of Seth's life were nine hundred and twelve: and he came to his end.

And all the years of Enosh were nine hundred and five: and he came to his end.

And all the years of Kenan's life were nine hundred and ten; and he came to his end.

And all the years of Mahalalel's life were eight hundred and ninety-five: and he came to his end.

And Jared was a hundred and sixty-two years old when he became the father of Enoch:

And all the years of Jared's life were nine hundred and sixty-two: and he came to his end.

And after the birth of Lamech, Methuselah went on living for seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had sons and daughters:

And all the years of Methuselah's life were nine hundred and sixty-nine: and he came to his end.

And Lamech was a hundred and eighty-two years old when he had a son:

And all the years of Lamech's life were seven hundred and seventy-seven: and he came to his end.

The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them.

There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.

And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.

And this is the way you are to make it: it is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.

You are to put a window in the ark, a cubit from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make it with a lower and second and third floors.

For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.

And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.

Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction.

And the Lord said to Noah, Take all your family and go into the ark, for you only in this generation have I seen to be upright.

Of every clean beast you will take seven males and seven females, and of the beasts which are not clean, two, the male and his female;

And Noah did everything which the Lord said he was to do.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open;

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

They went with Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

Everything on the dry land, in which was the breath of life, came to its end.

Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.

And on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

And still the waters went on falling, till on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen.

And he sent out a dove, to see if the waters had gone from the face of the earth;

But the dove saw no resting-place for her foot, and came back to the ark, for the waters were still over all the earth; and he put out his hand, and took her into the ark.

And after seven days more, he sent the dove out again, but she did not come back to him.

And in the six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters were dry on the earth: and Noah took the cover off the ark and saw that the face of the earth was dry.

And on the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.

And God said to Noah,

And Noah made an altar to the Lord, and from every clean beast and bird he made burned offerings on the altar.

And when the sweet smell came up to the Lord, he said in his heart, I will not again put a curse on the earth because of man, for the thoughts of man's heart are evil from his earliest days; never again will I send destruction on all living things as I have done.
