Now, the earth, had become waste and wild, and darkness, was on the face of the roaring deep, - but, the Spirit of God, was brooding on the face of the waters,

And God will say there shall be light, and there shall be light

And God will see the light that it is good, and God will separate between the light and between the darkness.

And God will call to the light day, and to the darkness he called night: and the evening shall be, and the morning shall be one day.

And God will say there shall be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and there shall be a separating between waters to waters.

And God will call to the firmament the heavens: and the evening shall be, and the morning shall be the second day.

And God will say the waters shall be gathered together from the under part of the heavens to one place, and the dry shall be seen: and it shall be so.

And God will call to the dry, earth; and to the gathering of the waters he called seas: and God will see that it is good.

And God said, "Let the earth produce green plants [that will] bear seed--fruit trees bearing fruit {in which there is seed}--according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so.

And the earth shall bring forth the tender grass, the green herb bearing seed according to its kind, and the tree making fruit in which the seed is in it, according to its kind: and God will see that it is good.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night. They will serve as signs for festivals and for days and years.

They will be lights in the expanse of the sky to provide light on the earth.” And it was so.

And God will make two great lights; the great light for the rule of the day, and the small light for the rule of the night and the stars.

And God will give them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth.

And to rule in the day and in the night, and to separate between the light and between the darkness: And God will see that it is good.

And God will say the waters shall breed abundantly creeping things, the living soul, and birds shall fly over the earth, over the face of the firmament of the heavens.

And God will form great sea. monsters and every living soul creeping, which the waters bred abundantly according to their kind, and every bird of wing according to its kind: and God will see that it is good.

And God will praise them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and birds shall multiply in the earth.

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to (limited to, consistent with) their kind: livestock, crawling things, and wild animals of the earth according to their kinds”; and it was so [because He had spoken them into creation].

So God made the wild animals of the earth according to their kind, and the cattle according to their kind, and everything that creeps and crawls on the earth according to its kind; and God saw that it was good (pleasing, useful) and He affirmed and sustained it.

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.”

And God will form man in his image, in the image of God he formed him; male and female he formed them.

And God will praise them, and God will say to them, be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing creeping upon the earth.

God also said, “Look, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the surface of the entire earth and every tree whose fruit contains seed. This food will be for you,

I have given all green plants as food for every wild animal of the earth, every bird that flies, and to every living thing that crawls on the earth." And that is what happened.

And God will see every thing which he made: and lo, very good And the evening shall be, and the morning shall be the sixth day.

And God will complete in the seventh day his work which he made, and he will rest in the seventh day from all his work which he made.

And God will praise the seventh day, and will consecrate it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God formed to make.

And every green thing of the field before it shall be in the earth, and every green herb of the field before it will spring up: for Jehovah God rained not upon the earth and not a man to work the earth.

And Jehovah God will form man of the dust from the earth, and will blow into his nostrils the breath of lives, and man shall be for a living soul.

And Jehovah God will plant a garden in Eden from the east; and he will put there the man which he will form.

And Jehovah God will cause to grow out of the earth every tree pleasant to the sight, and good for food; and the tree of lives in the midst of the garden, and the tree to know good and evil.

And Jehovah God will take the man and will set him down in the garden of Eden to work it and to keep it.

And Jehovah God will appoint to the man, saying, From every tree of the garden eating, thou shalt eat.

but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it, you will certainly die.”

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

So the Lord God formed out of the ground every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

And the man gave names to all the livestock, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper [that was] suitable (a companion) for him.

And Jehovah God will cause to fall a deep sleep upon the man, and he will sleep; and he will take one of his ribs and will close up the flesh underneath it

And Jehovah God will build the rib which he took from the man, into a woman, and will bring her to the man.

And the man said:

This one, at last, is bone of my bone
and flesh of my flesh;
this one will be called “woman,”
for she was taken from man.

Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any other {wild animal} which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God indeed say, 'You shall not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

And the woman will say to the serpent, From the fruit of the tree of the garden we shall eat

But about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat it or touch it, or you will die.’”

And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly 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 will see that the tree is good for food, and that it is a desire to the eyes, and a tree desired to make wise; and she will take from its fruit and will eat, and will give also to her man with her, and he will eat

And they shall hear the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden at the breeze of the day: and Adam and his wife will hide from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the wood of the garden.

And Jehovah God will call to the man, and will say to him, Where art thou?

And he will will say, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I shall be afraid, because I am naked, and I will hide myself.

And he will say, Who showed to thee that thou art naked? Of the tree which I charged thee not to eat, didst thou eat from it?

And the man will say, The woman which thou gavest with me, she gave to me from the tree, and I shall eat

And Jehovah God will say to the woman, What is this thou didst? And the woman will say, The serpent deceived me and I shall 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.

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

And He said to Adam, “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘Do not eat from it’:

The ground is cursed because of you.
You will eat from it by means of painful labor
all the days of your life.

It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.

You will eat bread by the sweat of your brow
until you return to the ground,
since you were taken from it.
For you are dust,
and you will return to dust.”

And Adam will call his wife's name Life, for she was the mother of all living.

And Jehovah God will make to Adam and to his wife, coats of skin, and will clothe them.

And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.

And Jehovah God will send. him forth from the garden of Eden to work the earth which he was taken from there.

And he will drive out Adam; and he will set up from the east of the garden of Eden, cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning itself about to keep the way of the tree of lives.

AND Adam knew Life, his wife, and she will conceive and bear Cain, and said, I obtained a man of Jehovah.

And she will add to bear his brother Abel; and Abel shall be a feeder of sheep, and Cain was a laborer of the earth.

And Abel, he also brought in the first-born of his sheep, and their fat. And Jehovah will look to Abel and to his gift

And to Cain and to his offering he looked not: and Cain will be very angry, and his countenance will fall.

And Jehovah will say to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why does thy countenance fall?

If thou doest well, will not thy countenance look up with confidence? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

And Cain will speak to Abel his brother; and it shall be in their being in the field, Cain will rise up against Abel his brother, and will kill him.

And Jehovah will say to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? and he will say, I know not: am I my brother's watcher?

And he will say, What didst thou? the voice of thy brother's bloods, crying out to me from the earth.

If you work the ground, it will never again give you its yield. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

And Cain will say to Jehovah, My sin is great, above bearing.

Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me.

Then Yahweh said to him, "Therefore, whoever kills Cain will be avenged sevenfold." Then Yahweh put a sign on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him.

And Cain will know his wife, and she will conceive and bear Enoch: and he will be building a city, and will call the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.

And Adah will bear Jabal; he was the father of him remaining in the tent, and riches.

And Zillah, she also will bear Tubal Cain, sharpening every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and Tubal Cain's sister was Naamah.

And Lamech will say his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, and give ear to my word: for I killed a man to my wound, and a son to my cutting.

“If Cain is avenged sevenfold [as the Lord said he would be],
Then Lamech [will be avenged] seventy-sevenfold.”

And Adam will know his wife again, and she will bear a son, and she will call his name Seth: for God set me a second seed instead of Abel, for Cain slew him.

And to Seth, to him also a son shall be born, and he will call his name Enos: then it was begun to call in the name of Jehovah.

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

And Adam shall live thirty and one hundred years, and shall beget in his likeness, according to his image, and will call his name Seth.

And he named him Noah, saying, “This one will bring us relief from the agonizing labor of our hands, caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.”

And the sons of God will see the daughters of Adam that they are good, and they will take to them wives of all which they chose.

And the Lord said, “My Spirit will not remain with mankind forever, because they are corrupt. Their days will be 120 years.”

And Jehovah will see that great the evil of man in the earth, and every formation of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the days.

And Jehovah will lament that he made man in the earth, and he will be grieved at his heart

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

This is how you are to make it: The ark will be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.

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.

But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.

Two of everything—from the birds according to their kinds, from the livestock according to their kinds, and from the animals that crawl on the ground according to their kinds—will come to you so that you can keep them alive.

Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them."
