And the bone which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and took her to the man.

And the man said, This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh: let her name be Woman because she was taken out of Man.

Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?

And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.

And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.

And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it.

And there will be war between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed: by him will your head be crushed and by you his foot will be wounded.

To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.

Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;

And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.

And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.

And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children; and she had a servant, a woman of Egypt whose name was Hagar.

And Abram said, The woman is in your power; do with her whatever seems good to you. And Sarai was cruel to her, so that she went running away from her.

And the younger had a son and gave him the name Ben-ammi: from him come the children of Ammon to this day.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

Then Abimelech gave to Abraham sheep and oxen and men-servants and women-servants, and gave him back his wife Sarah.

Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children.

For the Lord had kept all the women of the house of Abimelech from having children, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

So she said to Abraham, Send away that woman and her son: for the son of that woman is not to have a part in the heritage with my son Isaac.

And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed.

And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came?

And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.

And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water.

The Lord has given my master every blessing, and he has become great: he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and women-servants and camels and asses.

And I said to my master, What if the woman will not come with me?

Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son.

So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.

But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.

Then Rebekah said to Isaac, My life is a weariness to me because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob takes a wife from among the daughters of Heth, such as these, the women of this land, of what use will my life be to me?

Then Isaac sent for Jacob, and blessing him, said, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan;

So when Esau saw that Isaac had given Jacob his blessing, and sent him away to Paddan-aram to get a wife for himself there, blessing him and saying to him, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan;

It was clear to Esau that his father had no love for the women of Canaan,

And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman.

And Laban gave Rachel his servant-girl Bilhah to be her waiting-woman.

And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.

So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.

So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there; and he came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.

And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.

Then Laban, answering, said, These women are my daughters and these children my children, the flocks and all you see are mine: what now may I do for my daughters and for their children?

And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.

And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.

Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. So he made a division of the children between Leah and Rachel and the two women-servants.

Then Esau, lifting up his eyes, saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with you? And he said, The children whom God in his mercy has given to your servant.

Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.

But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?

And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.

Now while they were living in that country, Reuben had connection with Bilhah, his father's servant-woman: and Israel had news of it.

Esau's wives were women of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

And Eliphaz, the son of Esau, had connection with a woman named Timna, who gave birth to Amalek: all these were the children of Esau's wife Adah.

When Judah saw her he took her to be a loose woman of the town, because her face was covered.

Then Judah sent his friend Hirah with the young goat, to get back the things which he had given as a sign to the woman: but she was not there.

And he put questions to the men of the place, saying, Where is the loose woman who was in Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There was no such woman there.

So he went back to Judah, and said, I have not seen her, and the men of the place say that there is no such woman there.

And Judah said, Let her keep the things, so that we may not be shamed; I sent the young goat, but you did not see the woman.

Now about three months after this, word came to Judah that Tamar, his daughter-in-law, had been acting like a loose woman and was with child. And Judah said, Take her out and let her be burned.

And while she was in the act of giving birth, one of them put out his hand; and the woman who was with her put a red thread round his hand, saying, This one came out first.

But then he took his hand back again, and his brother came first to birth: and the woman said, What an opening you have made for yourself! So he was named Perez.

And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan;

And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew women who gave help at the time of childbirth (the name of the one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah),

When you are looking after the Hebrew women in childbirth, if it is a son you are to put him to death; but if it is a daughter, she may go on living.

But the women had the fear of God, and did not do as the king of Egypt said, but let the male children go on living.

And the king of Egypt sent for the women, and said to them, Why have you done this, and let the male children go on living?

And they said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are strong, and the birth takes place before we come to them.

And the blessing of God was on these women: and the people were increased in number and became very strong.

And because the women who took care of the Hebrew mothers had the fear of God, he gave them families.

Now Pharaoh's daughter came down to the Nile to take a bath, while her women were walking by the riverside; and she saw the basket among the river-plants, and sent her servant-girl to get it.

Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, May I go and get you one of the Hebrew women to give him the breast?

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take the child away and give it milk for me, and I will give you payment. And the woman took the child and gave it milk at her breast.

For every woman will get from her neighbour and from the woman living in her house, ornaments of silver and gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and your daughters; you will take the best of their goods from the Egyptians.

And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan: these are the families of Simeon.

So go now and give orders to the people that every man and every woman is to get from his or her neighbour ornaments of silver and of gold.

And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.

And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day: do not come near a woman.

But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:

Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.

And if he takes another woman, her food and clothing and her married rights are not to be less.

If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant blows with a rod, causing death, he is certainly to undergo punishment.

If men, while fighting, do damage to a woman with child, causing the loss of the child, but no other evil comes to her, the man will have to make payment up to the amount fixed by her husband, in agreement with the decision of the judges.

If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant a blow in the eye, causing its destruction, he is to let him go free on account of the damage to his eye.

If an ox comes to be the cause of death to a man or a woman, the ox is to be stoned, and its flesh may not be used for food; but the owner will not be judged responsible.

But if the ox has frequently done such damage in the past, and the owner has had word of it and has not kept it under control, so that it has been the cause of the death of a man or woman, not only is the ox to be stoned, but its owner is to be put to death.

If the death of a man-servant or of a woman-servant is caused by the ox, the owner is to give their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox is to be stoned.

Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.

They came, men and women, all who were ready to give, and gave pins and nose-rings and finger-rings and neck-ornaments, all of gold; everyone gave an offering of gold to the Lord.

And all the women who were expert with their hands, made cloth, and gave the work of their hands, blue and purple and red and the best linen.

And those women who had the knowledge, made the goats' hair into cloth.

The children of Israel, every man and woman, from the impulse of their hearts, gave their offerings freely to the Lord for the work which the Lord had given Moses orders to have done.

So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.

And he made the washing-vessel of brass on a brass base, using the polished brass looking-glasses given by the women who did work at the doors of the Tent of meeting.

Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell.

And the priest is to make an offering of it before the Lord and take away her sin, and she will be made clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for a woman who gives birth to a male or a female.

And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,

And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,

And if a man has sex relations with a woman and his seed goes out from him, the two of them will have to be bathed in water and will be unclean till evening.

And if a woman has a flow of blood from her body, she will have to be kept separate for seven days, and anyone touching her will be unclean till evening.

And if a woman has a flow of blood for a long time, not at the time when she generally has it, or if the flow goes on longer than the normal time, she will be unclean while the flow of blood goes on, as she is at other normal times.

And for her who has a flow of blood, and for any man or woman who has an unclean flow, and for him who has sex relations with a woman when she is unclean.

You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
