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

And God called the expanse Heavens. 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 cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth. And it was so.

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

And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;

and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.

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

And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth,

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

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

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

And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth.

and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. 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 God had finished on the seventh day 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 that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.

These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,

and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.

And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; and 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 thence it was parted, and became four main streams.

And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly die.

And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought them to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was its name.

And Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.

And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.

And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

And the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which Jehovah Elohim had made. And it said to the woman, Is it even so, that God has said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;

but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, and ye shall not touch it, lest ye die.

And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die;

but God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.

And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.

And they heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden.

And Jehovah Elohim called to Man, and said to him, Where art thou?

And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat?

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

And Jehovah Elohim said to the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

And Jehovah Elohim said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. On thy belly shalt thou go, and eat dust all the days of thy life.

To the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy travail and thy pregnancy; with pain thou shalt bear children; and to thy husband shall be thy desire, and he shall rule over thee.

And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed be the ground on thy account; with toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return.

And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever ...!

Therefore Jehovah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

And he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.

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

And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?

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

And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?

And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.

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

And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.

Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, that every one who finds me will slay me.

And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.

And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.

And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.

And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.

And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.

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

Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

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

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

And Methushelah lived after he had begotten Lemech seven hundred and eighty-two years, and begot sons and daughters.

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

And it came to pass when mankind began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them,

In those days were the giants on the earth, and also afterwards, when the sons of God had come in to the daughters of men, and they had borne children to them; these were the heroes, who of old were men of renown.

And Jehovah said, I will destroy Man, whom I have created, from the earth from man to cattle, to creeping things, and to fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.

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

A light shalt thou make to the ark; and to a cubit high shalt thou finish it above. And the door of the ark shalt thou set in its side: with a lower, second, and third story shalt thou make it.

For I, behold, I bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh under the heavens in which is the breath of life: everything that is on the earth shall expire.

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

Of fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each shall go in to thee, to keep them alive.

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

And Noah did it; according to all that God had commanded him, so did he.

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

Of all clean beasts thou shalt take to thee by sevens, a male and its female; but of the beasts that are not clean two, a male and its female.

Also of the fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.

For in yet seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living being which I have made will I destroy from the ground.

And Noah did according to all that Jehovah had commanded him.

there came two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

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

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

On the same day went 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;

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

And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, 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.

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.

And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.

But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.

And the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.

And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.

And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried.

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

And God spoke to Noah, saying,

And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.

Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
