And out of the ground Jehovah God caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food. The tree of life also was in the middle of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

The name of the first is Pishon; that is it which surrounds all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.

And the gold of that land is good. There is bdellium and the onyx stone.

And the name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that surrounds the whole land of Cush.

And the name of the third river is Tigris; it is that which goes toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

And Jehovah God said to the serpent, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every animal of the field. You shall go upon your belly, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

And now you are cursed more than the ground which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

all who breathed the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

And every living thing which was on the face of the earth was destroyed, from man to cattle, and to the creeping things, and the fowls of the heavens. And they were destroyed from the earth, and only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.

And the dove came in to him in the evening. And, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from off the earth.

And it happened in the six hundred and first year, at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked. And, behold, the face of the earth was dried!

Bring out with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, of fowl, of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, so that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon the animals of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon all that moves on the earth, and upon all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered.

Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herb.

And he said, Lord God, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it?

Perhaps there are fifty righteous within the city. Will You also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are in it?
