and God called the light, day, but the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening - and it was morning, one day.

And God called the expanse, heavens. So it was evening - and it was morning, a, second day.

So it was evening - and it was morning, a third day.

And God said - Let there be luminaries 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;

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

And God made the two great luminaries, - the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars.

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

So it was evening - and it was morning, a fourth day.

So it was evening - and it 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 bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.

And God said - Lo! I have given to you - every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, - to you, shall it be, for food;

and to every living thing of the land - and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it wins so.

And God saw every thing which he had made, and lo! it was very good. So it was evening - and it was morning, the sixth day.

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

And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, - because therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had made.

These are the geneses of the heavens and the earth when they were created, - in the day when Yahweh God made earth and heavens.

Now, no bush of the field, as yet - was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, - because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;

And Yahweh God, caused to spring up, out of the ground, every tree 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.

Now, a river, was coming forth out of Eden, to water the garden, - and, from thence, it parted, and became four heads,

So Yahweh God took the man, - and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keeps it.

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not cat of it, - for in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shelf die.

So the man gave names to all the tame-beasts, and to the birds of the heavens, and to all the wild-beasts of the field, - but, for man, had there not been found a helper as his counterpart.

So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept, - and he took one of his ribs, and closed up flesh instead thereof.

And they were both of them naked, the man and his wife, - and put not each other to shame.

but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said Ye shall not eat of it neither shall ye touch it, - lest ye die.

And the serpent said unto the woman, - Ye shall not die,

For God doth know, that in the day ye eat thereof, then shall your eyes be opened, - and ye shall become like God, knowing good and evil.

And, when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was desirable to the eyes and the tree was pleasant to make one knowing, then took she of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and she gave to her husband also, along with her, and he did eat.

Then heard they the sound of Yahweh God, walking to and fro in the garden at the breeze of the day, - so he hid himself - the man with his wife, from the face of Yahweh God, amid the trees of the garden.

And Yahweh God called unto the man, - and said to him, Where art thou?

And he said, Who told thee that, naked, thou wast? Of the tree whereof I commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?

Then said Yahweh God to the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, the serpent, deceived me, so I did eat.

And, to the man, he said, Because thou didst hearken to the voice of thy wife, and so didst eat of the tree as to which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it, Accursed be the ground for thy sake, In pain, shalt thou eat of it, all the days of thy life;

Thorn also and thistle, shall it shoot forth to thee, - when thou hast come to eat of the herb of the field:

In the sweat of thy face, shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground, because therefrom, wast thou taken, - For, dust, thou art, And, unto dust, shalt thou return.

Then said Yahweh God - Lo! man, hath become like one of us, in respect of knowing good and evil, - Now, therefore, lest he thrust forth his hand, and take even of the tree of life, and eat, and live to times age-abiding, -

So Yahweh God put him forth from the garden of Eden, - to till the ground wherefrom he had been taken.

So he expelled the man, - and caused to dwell - in front of the garden of Eden - cherubim and a brandishing sword - flame, to keep the way to the tree of life.

Now, the man, having come to know Eve his wife, - she conceived and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a Man, even Yahweh!

And she went on to hear his brother, Abel, - and Abel became a feeder of sheep, whereas Cain, was a tiller of the round.

So it came to pass, after certain days, that Cain brought in of the fruit of the ground, a present to Yahweh:

Shall it not, if thou do right, be lifted up? But if thou do not right, at the entrance a sin-bearer is lying, - Unto thee, moreover, shall be his longing, though, thou, rule over him.

And Cain said unto Abel his brother Let us go into the field And it came to pass when they were in the field that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

And he said, What hast thou done? With a voice, the shed-blood of thy brother is crying out to me from the ground,

Now therefore, accursed, art thou, - from the ground which hath opened her mouth, to receive the shed-blood of thy brother at thy hand.

Though thou till the ground, it shall not go on to give its vigour to thee. A wanderer and a fugitive, shalt thou be in the earth.

Lo! thou has driven me out, this day, from off the face of the ground And from thy face, shall I be hid, So shall I become a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth. And it shall come to pass, whosoever findeth me, will slay me.

And Yahweh said to him - Not so, whosoever slayeth Cain seven - fold, shall it be avenged. So Yahweh set, for Cain, a sign, that none finding him should smite him.

And there was born to Enoch Irad, and, Irad, begat Mehujael, - and Mehujael, begat Methusael, - and Methusael, begat Lamech.

And Lamech took to himself two wives, - the name of the one, was Adah, and, the name of the second Zillah.

Then said Lamech to his wives, Adah and Zillah! hear ye my voice, Ye wives of Lamech! give ear to my tale, For a man, have I slain in dealing my wounds, Yea, a youth, in smiting my blows:

And to Seth - to him also, was born a son, and he called his name Enosh, - then, was a beginning made, to call on the name of Yahweh.

This, is the record of the generations of Adam. In the day when 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 they were created.

And Jared lived, a hundred and sixty-two years, and begat Enoch;

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

and Methuselah lived, after he begat Lamech, seven hundred and eighty-two years, - and begat sons and daughters;

And Lamech lived, a hundred and eighty-two years, - and begat a son;

And it came to pass when men had begun to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters had been born to them,

that the sons of God saw the daughters of men! that they were, fair, - so they took to themselves wives of whomsoever they chose,

And Yahweh said - My spirit shall not rule in man to times age - abiding, for that, he also, is flesh, - Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

The giants, were in the each in these days, and also, after that, when the sons of God began to go in unto the daughters of men, and sons were born to them, the same, were the heroes that were from age-past times the men of renown.

Then Yahweh saw that great, was the wickedness of man in the earth, and that, every purpose of the devices of his heart, was only wicked all the day;

A place for light, shalt thou make to the ark and to a cubit, shalt thou finish it upwards, and the opening of the ark - in the side thereof, shalt thou put, - with lower, second and third stories, shalt thou make it.

And, I, behold me! bringing in the flood - even waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh wherein is the spirit of life, from under the heavens, - everything that is in the earth, shall cease to breathe:

Moreover of all the living creatures of all flesh - two of each, shalt thou bring into the ark to keep alive with thee, - male and female, shall they be.

Of the bird after its kind and of the beast after its kind, and of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each, shall come in unto thee. for keeping alive.

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

And Noah did so , - according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

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

Of all the clean beasts, shalt thou take to thee by sevens, a male and his female, - and, of the beasts that are not clean,, shall be two a male and his female.

Also of the bird of the heavens, by sevens, male and female, - to keep alive a seed on the face of all the earth.

And Noah did, - according to all that Yahweh commanded him.

two and two, went they in unto Noah, into the ark male and female,, - as God commanded Noah.

And it came to pass, in the seven days, - that the waters of the flood, came on the earth.

In the six hundredth year, the year of the life of Noah. in the second month on the seventeenth day of the month on this day, were burst open all the fountains of the great roaring deep, and the windows of the heavens, were set open.

(And it came to pass that the heavy rain was on the earth, - forty days and forty nights.)

On this selfsame day, entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth. Noah's sons, - and Noah's wife, and his sons' three wives with them into the ark:

So they entered in unto Noah, into the ark, - two and two of all flesh, wherein was the spirit of life.

And it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth, - and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high above the earth,

And all flesh ceased to breathe that moved on the earth, of birds and of tame-beasts and of wild-beasts, and of all the swarming things that swarm on the earth, - land all mankind.

And God remembered Noah, and all the wild - beasts and all the tame-beasts that were with him in the ark, - and God caused 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 that he had made;

And he sent forth a dove from him, - to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face of the ground;

So it came to pass in the six hundred and first year at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters had dried up from off the earth, - and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked and lo! the face of the ground was dried.

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

So then, God spake to Noah, saying:

And Noah builded an altar to Yahweh, - and took of all the clean beasts and of all the clean birds, and caused ascending Sacrifices to go up on the altar.

And Yahweh smelled a satisfying odour, so Yahweh said to himself. I will not, again, curse any more the ground for man's sake, although the device of the heart of man, be wicked from his youth, - neither will I again, any more smite every living thing, as I have done.

During all the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.

So God blessed Noah and his sons, - and said to them Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth;

and with every living soul that is with you, of birds, of tame-beasts and of all wild-beasts of the earth that are with you, - of all coming forth out of the ark, even to all wild-beasts of the earth;

yea, I will establish my covenant with you, so that all flesh shall not be cut off any more, by reason of the waters of a flood, - neither shall there he any more a flood to destroy the earth.

And God said, This, is the sign of the covenant which I am granting betwixt me and you, and every living soul that is with you, - to age-abiding generations: -

then will I remember my covenant which is betwixt me and you, and every living soul among all flesh, - that the waters may no more become a flood, to destroy all flesh:

so the bow shall be in the cloud, - and I will behold it, to remember an age-abiding covenant, between God, and every living soul among all flesh that is on the earth.

And Noah began to he a husbandman, - so he planted a vineyard:

And Ham the father of Canaan saw his father's shame, - and told his two brethren outside.
