And God saw the light that it was good: and divided the light from the darkness,

Then God made the firmament, and parted the waters which were under the firmament, from the waters that were above the firmament: And it was so.

And God said, "Let the waters that are under heaven gather themselves unto one place, that the dry land may appear." And it came so to pass.

And God called the dry land "the earth" and the gathering together of waters called he "the sea." And God saw that it was good.

And God said, "Let the earth bring forth herb and grass that sow seed, and fruitful trees that bear fruit, every one in his kind, having their seed in themselves, upon the earth." And it came so to pass.

And the earth brought forth herb and grass sowing seed, every one in his kind, and trees bearing fruit and having their seed in themselves, every one in his kind. And God saw that it was good:

Then said God, "Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day from the night; that they may be unto signs, seasons, days and years.

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

And God said, "Let the water bring forth creatures that move and have life, and fowls for to fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven."

And God created great whales and all manner of creatures that live and move, which the waters brought forth in their kinds, and all manner of feathered fowls in their kinds. And God saw that it was good:

And God made the beasts of the earth in their kinds, and cattle in their kinds, and all manner worms of the earth in their kinds: and God saw that it was good.

And God said, "Let us make man in our similitude and after our likeness: that he may have rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over all worms that creep on the earth."

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Grow and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over all the beasts that move on the earth.

And God said, "See, I have given you all herbs that sow seed which are on all the earth, and all manner trees that have fruit in them and sow seed; to be meat for you,

and for all beasts of the earth, and unto all fowls of the air, and unto all that creepeth on the earth wherein is life, that they may have all manner herbs and grass for to eat." And even so it was.

And God beheld all that he had made, and lo they were exceeding good: and so of the evening and morning was made the sixth day.

The name of the one is Pishon; he it is that compasseth all the land of Havilah, where gold groweth.

And the gold of that country is precious; there is found bdellium and a stone called Onyx.

But of the tree of knowledge of good and bad see that thou eat not: For even the same day thou eatest of it, thou shalt surely die.

And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone. I will make him a helper to bear him company."

And after that the LORD God had made of the earth all manner beasts of the field, and all manner fowls of the air, he brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. And as Adam called all manner living beasts: even so are their names.

But the serpent was subtler than all the beasts of the field which the LORD God had made; and said unto the woman, "Ah sir, that God hath said, ye shall not eat of all manner trees in the garden."

but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, said God, see that ye eat not, and see that ye touch it not: lest ye die."

but God doth know, that whensoever ye should eat of it, your eyes should be opened and ye should be as God and know both good and evil."

And the woman saw that it was a good tree to eat of, and lusty unto the eyes, and a pleasant tree for to make wise. And took of the fruit of it and ate, and gave unto her husband also with her, and he ate.

And the eyes of both them were opened, that they understood how that they were naked. Then they sewed fig leaves together and made them aprons.

And he said, "Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, of which I bade thee that thou shouldest not eat?"

Moreover, I will put hatred between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. And that seed shall tread thee on the head, and thou shalt tread it on the heel."

And Adam called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all that liveth.

And it fortuned, in process of time, that Cain brought of the fruit of the earth an offering unto the LORD.

And Cain said unto the LORD, "My sin is greater, than that it may be forgiven.

And the LORD said unto him, "Not so, but whosoever slayeth Cain shall be punished sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark upon Cain that no man that found him should kill him.

And Ada bare Jabal; of whom came they that dwell in tents and possess cattle.

And his brother's name was Jubal; of him came all that exercise themselves on the harp and on the organs.

And Zillah she also bare Tubalcain; a worker in metal and a father of all that grave in brass and iron. And Tubalcain's sister was called Naamah.

And Seth begat a son and called his name Enos. And in that time began men to call on the name of the LORD.

and called him Noah, saying, "This same shall comfort us: as concerning our work and sorrow of our hands which we have about the earth that the LORD hath cursed."

the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and took unto them wives, which they best liked among them all.

There were tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the children of God had gone in unto the daughters of men and had begotten them children, the same children were the mightiest of the world and men of renown.

And when the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was increased upon the earth, and that all the imagination and thoughts of his heart was only evil continually,

he repented that he had made man upon the earth and sorrowed in his heart.

And said, "I will destroy mankind which I have made, from off the face of the earth: both man, beast, worm and fowl of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them."

For behold, I will bring in a flood of water upon the earth to destroy all flesh from under heaven, wherein breath of life is, so that all that is in the earth shall perish.

But I will make mine covenant with thee, that both thou shalt come into the ark and thy sons, thy wife and thy sons' wives with thee.

"And of all that liveth, whatsoever flesh it be, shalt thou bring into the ark, of every thing a pair, to keep them alive with thee.

And male and female see that they be, of birds in their kind, and of beasts in their kind, and of all manner of worms of the earth in their kind: a pair of every thing shall come unto thee to keep them alive.

And take unto thee of all manner of meat that may be eaten and lay it up in store by thee, that it may be meat both for thee and for them."

And Noah did according to all that God commanded him.

For seven days hence will I send rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights and will destroy all manner of things that I have made, from off the face of the earth."

And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him:

And of clean beasts and of beasts that were unclean and of birds and of all that creepeth upon the earth,

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

both they and all manner of beasts in their kind, and all manner of cattle in their kind and all manner of worms that creep upon the earth in their kind, and all manner of birds in their kind, and all manner of fowls whatsoever had feathers.

And they came unto Noah into the ark by couples, of all flesh that had breath of life in it.

And they that came, came male and female of every flesh according as God commanded him: and the LORD shut the door upon him.

And the waters prevailed exceedingly above measure upon the earth, so that all the high hills which are under all the parts of heaven were covered:

even fifteen cubits high prevailed the waters, so that the hills were covered.

And all flesh that moved on the earth, both birds, cattle and beasts, perished; with all that crept on the earth, and all men:

so that all that had the breath of life in the nostrils of it, throughout all that was on dry land, died.

Thus was destroyed all that was upon the earth; both man, beasts, worms and fowls of the air, so that they were destroyed from the earth: save Noah was reserved only and they that were with him in the ark.

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 blow upon the earth, and the waters ceased;

and the dove came to him again about eventide, and behold: there was in her mouth a leaf of an olive tree which she had plucked, whereby Noah perceived that the waters were abated upon the earth.

And it came to pass, the six hundred and one year and the first day of the first month, that the waters were dried up upon the earth. And Noah took off the hatches of the ark and looked: and behold, the face of the earth was dry.

And all the beasts that are with thee whatsoever flesh it be, both fowl and cattle and all manner worms that creep on the earth, bring out with thee, and let them move, grow and multiply upon the earth."

All the beasts also, and all the worms, and all the fowls, and all that crept upon the earth, went out of the ark, every one unto his like.

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour and said in his heart, "I will henceforth no more curse the earth for man's sake, for the imagination of man's heart is evil even from the very youth of him. Moreover I will not destroy from henceforth all that liveth as I have done.

The fear also and dread of you be upon all beasts of the earth, and upon all fowls of the air, and upon all that creepeth on the earth, and upon all fishes of the sea, which are given unto your hands.

And all that moveth upon the earth, having life, shall be your meat: Even as the green herbs, so give I you all things.

Only: the flesh with his life, which is his blood, see that ye eat not.

so that he which sheddeth man's blood, shall have his blood shed by man again: for God made man after his own likeness.

See that ye increase, and wax, and be occupied upon the earth, and multiply therein."

and with all living things that is with you: both fowl and cattle, and all manner beast of the earth that is with you, of all that cometh out of the ark, whatsoever beast of the earth it be.

I make my covenant with you, that henceforth all flesh shall not be destroyed with the waters of any flood, and that henceforth there shall not be a flood to destroy the earth."

And God said, "This is the token of my covenant which I make between me and you, and between all living thing, that is with you forever:

so that when I bring in clouds upon the earth, the bow shall appear in the clouds.

And then will I think upon my covenant which I have made between me and you, and all that liveth, whatsoever flesh it be. So that henceforth there shall be no more waters to make a flood to destroy all flesh.

The bow shall be in the clouds, and I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and all that liveth upon the earth, whatsoever flesh it be."

And God said unto Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have made between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

The sons of Noah that came out of the ark were: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham he is the father of Canaan.

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's privities, and told his two brethren that were without.

And Shem and Japheth took a mantle, and put it on both their shoulders and went backward, and covered their father's secrets, but their faces were backward, so that they saw not their father's nakedness.

God increase Japheth that he may dwell in the tents of Shem. And Canaan be their servant."

So that all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.

He was a mighty hunter in the sight of the LORD, whereof came the proverb "he is as Nimrod, that mighty hunter in the sight of the LORD."

Out of that land came Assyria, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

and Resen between Nineveh and Calah. That is a great city.

These are the kindreds of the sons of Noah, in their generations and nations. And of these came the people that were in the world after the flood.

And they said, "Come on, let us build us a city and a tower, that the top may reach unto heaven. And let us make us a name, for peradventure we shall be scattered abroad over all the earth."

And the LORD said, "See, the people is one and have one tongue among them all: And this have they begun to do, and will not leave off from all that they have purposed to do.

Come on, let us descend and mingle their tongue even there, that one understand not what another sayeth."

Wherefore the name of it is called Babel, because that the LORD there confounded the tongue of all the world; and because that the LORD, from thence, scattered them abroad upon all the earth.

And I will make of thee a mighty people, and will bless thee, and make thy name great, that thou mayst be a blessing.

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee. And in thee shall be blessed all the generations of the earth."

Then departed he thence unto a mountain that lieth on the east side of Bethel and pitched his tent - Bethel being on the west side, and Ai on the east - and he built there an altar unto the LORD, and called on the name of the LORD.

And when he was come nigh for to enter into Egypt, he said unto Sarai his wife, "Behold, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon.

It will come to pass, therefore, when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, 'she is his wife.' And so shall they slay me and save thee.

Say, I pray thee therefore, that thou art my sister; that I may fare the better by reason of thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake."

As soon as he came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very fair.

And Pharaoh's lords saw her also, and praised her unto Pharaoh, so that she was taken into Pharaoh's house;

which entreated Abram well for her sake, so that he had sheep, oxen and he-asses, men servants, maid servants, she-asses and camels.
