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.

Then God said, "Let the water beneath the sky come together into one area, and let dry ground appear!" And that is what happened:

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 the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.

And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree of the garden,

but you are not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because you will certainly die during the day that you eat from it."

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.

And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.

Now the Shining One was more clever than any animal of the field that the LORD God had made. He asked the woman, "Did God actually say, "You are not to eat from any tree of the garden'?"

"but as for the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, "You are not to eat from it, nor are you to touch it, or you will die.'"

and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they are naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.

But the Lord God called to Adam, and said to him, “Where are you?”

"Who told you that you are naked?" Godasked. "Did you eat fruit from the tree that I commanded you not to eat?"

The Lord God said to the serpent,

“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all the cattle,
And more than any animal of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And dust you shall eat
All the days of your life.

“By the sweat of your face
You will eat bread
Until you return to the ground,
For from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.”

And the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? And why do you look annoyed?

If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you don't do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it."

And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s [shed] blood from your hand.

Since You are banishing me today from the soil, and I must hide myself from Your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, whoever finds me will kill me.”

And Adah gave birth to Jabal: he was the father of such as are living in tents and keep cattle.

If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.

These are the family records of the descendants of Adam. On the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God;

Male and female he formed them; and he will bless them, and will call their name Adam in the day they are created.

And the days of Adam after his begetting Seth are eight hundred years, and he begetteth sons and daughters.

And all the days of Adam which he lived are nine hundred and thirty years, and he dieth.

And all the days of Seth are nine hundred and twelve years, and he dieth.

And all the days of Enos are nine hundred and five years, and he dieth.

And all the days of Cainan are nine hundred and ten years, and he dieth.

And all the days of Mahalaleel are eight hundred and ninety and five years, and he dieth.

And all the days of Jared are nine hundred and sixty and two years, and he dieth.

And all the days of Enoch are three hundred and sixty and five years.

And all the days of Methuselah are nine hundred and sixty and nine years, and he dieth.

And all the days of Lamech are seven hundred and seventy and seven years, and he dieth.

and sons of God see the daughters of men that they are fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.

And Jehovah saith, 'My Spirit doth not strive in man -- to the age; in their erring they are flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.

The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them -- they are the heroes, who, from of old, are the men of name.

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

This is the way you are to make it: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits (450’ x 75’ x 45’).

You are to make a roof, finishing the sides of the ark to within 18 inches of the roof. You are to put a door in the side of the ark. Make it with lower, middle, and upper decks.

For behold, I, even I, will bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all life under the heavens in which there is the breath and spirit of life; everything that is on the land shall die.

However, I will establish my own covenant with you, and you are to enter the ark you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives.

and of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every sort thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they.

Then Yahweh said to Noah, "Go--you and all your household--into the ark, for I have seen you [are] righteous before me in this generation.

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close it for him.

and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.

And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high mountains that are under all the heavens were covered.

fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;

and expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth, among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all mankind;

And wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens; yea, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who are with him in the ark;

and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.

And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which are with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.

And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters are on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.

"It's time for you, your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives who are with you to leave the ark.

Bring out with you all the living things which [are] with you, from all the living creatures--birds, and animals, and everything that creeps on the earth, and let them swarm on the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."

And when the sweet smell came up to the Lord, he said in his heart, I will not again put a curse on the earth because of man, for the thoughts of man's heart are evil from his earliest days; never again will I send destruction on all living things as I have done.

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

However, you are not to eat meat with its life that is, its blood in it!

For verily the blood of you, wherein your lives are, will I require: Even of the hand of all beasts will I require it, and of the hand of man and of the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man:

and with every living creature which is with you, among fowl, among cattle, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the ark -- to every beast of the earth.

When the rainbow is in the clouds, I will notice it and remember the perpetual covenant between God and all living creatures of all kinds that are on the earth."

So God said to Noah, "This is the guarantee of the covenant that I am confirming between me and all living things that are on the earth."

And the sons of Noah who are going out of the ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.

These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

And Shem taketh -- Japheth also -- the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces are backward, and their father's nakedness they have not seen.

and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth.

Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

Sons of Japheth are Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

And sons of Gomer are Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

And sons of Javan are Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

From these, [the people of] the coastlands of the nations were separated and spread into their lands, every one according to his own language, according to their constituent groups (families), and into their nations:

And sons of Ham are Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

And sons of Cush are Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah are Sheba and Dedan.

These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

Sons of Shem are Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

And sons of Aram are Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these are sons of Joktan;

These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.

These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:

Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dieth in Charan.

The LORD told Abram, "You are to leave your land, your relatives, and your father's house and go to the land that I'm going to show you.

To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.

And when he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “Listen: I know that you are a beautiful woman;

Please tell them that you are my sister so that things will go well for me for your sake, and my life will be spared because of you.”

and there is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite are then dwelling in the land.

And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren.

and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted -- a man from his companion;

and the men of Sodom are evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.

The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had left him, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are standing, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed -- to the age.

And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Jehovah.

And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings who are with him, and they smite the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
