And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.

And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters.

And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so.

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 called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

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

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 God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth living souls after their kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth, after their kind. And it was so.

And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

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 God said, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you;

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 blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.

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.

The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.

And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.

And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.

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

And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;

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 Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.

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 said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man.

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.

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 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.

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;

and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

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 ...!

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

When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.

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 Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.

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

And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and breed cattle.

Make thyself an ark of gopher wood: with cells shalt thou make the ark; and pitch it inside and outside with pitch.

And thus shalt thou make it: let the length of the ark be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

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.

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 he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of 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.

Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.

Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.

And indeed your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each the blood of his brother, will I require the life of Man.

I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.

And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.

And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid it upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they saw not their father's nakedness.
