And the Spirit d of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, e Let there be light, f and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided 1 the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light g Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning> were 2 the first day. 6 ¶ And God said,h Let there be a 3 firmament in the midst of the waters, and let us divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament,i and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the wa- ters which were above k the firma- ment: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 ¶ And God l said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered to- gether unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called the Seas: and God saw that it was good 11 And God said, Let the earth m bring forth 4 grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree yielding n fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, uon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yeilding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, af- ter his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morn- ing were the third day.  |

the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, r in the image of God cre- ated he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruiful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that 11 mov- veth upon the earth. 29 ¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb 12 bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yield- ing seed; s to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creep- eth upon the earth, wherein there is 13 life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw ever thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.

2 And a on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested onthe se- venth day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that in it he had rested from all his work which God 1 created and made. 4 ¶ 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. 5 And every plant of the field be- fore it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But 2 there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the LORD God formed man 3 of the b dust of the ground, and c breathed into his d nostrils the |

And the fourth river is Euphrates. 15 And the LORD God took 6 the man, and l put him into the garden of Eden, to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden 7 thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the know- ledge of good and evil, m thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, 8 thou shalt surely die. 18 ¶ And the LORD God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; n I will make him an help 9 meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and o brought them unto 10 Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every liv- ving creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam 11 gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air. and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a p deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in- stead thereof; 22 And the rib which the LORD God had taken from man, 12 made he a woman and q brought her unto the man. |

23 And Adam said, This is now bone r of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called 13 Wo- man, because she was taken out of 14 Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave s his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

And he said unto the wo- man, 1 Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the gar- den? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the gar- den, God hath said, c Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent d said unto the e woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened; and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was 2 pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and give also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked: f and they sewed fig- leaves together, and made them- selves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the 4 cool of the day: and Adam and his wife g hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou.? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, h because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I com- manded thee that thou shouldest not eat? |

12 And the man said, i The wo- man, who thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, Te serpen beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon thy belly shalt thou go, and k dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between l thy seed and m her seed; n it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16 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 5 to thy husband, and he shall ruleover thee. 17 And unto Adam he said, be- cause thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I com- manded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it 6 bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, til thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 20 And Adam called his wife's name 7 Eve; because she was the mother of all living. p 21 Unto Adam also, and to his wife, did the LORD God make coats of skins, and q clothed them. 22 ¶ And the LORD God said, r Be- hold, the man is become as one of us, to konw good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: 23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, t to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubims, u and a flam- ing sword v which turned every way, to keep the way w of the tree of life. murder of Abel. 11 The Curse of Cain. |

And the LORD had c respect unto Abel, and to his offering: 5 But unto Cain, and to his offer- ing, he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his counte- nance fell. 6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why are thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not 6 be accepted? and if thou doest not well, d sin lieth at the door. And 7 unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and e slew him. 9 And the LORD said unto Cain f Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my bro- ther's keeper? 10 And he said, What hast thou dont? The voice of thy brother's 8 blood g crieth unto me from the ground. 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive they brother's blood from thy hand. 12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 13 And Cain said unto the LORD, 9 My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, h that every one that findeth me shall slay me. 15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven-fold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 16 ¶ And i Cain went out from the prresence of the LORD, and dwelt in |

all that the LORD commanded him. 6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7 ¶ And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, be- cause of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 9 There went in two and two un- to Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had command- ed Noah. 10 And it came to pass, 3 after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 11 ¶ In the sixth hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the foun- tains c of the great deep broken up, and the 4 windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 In the salfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, d into the ark; 14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every 5 sort. 15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flech, wherein is the breath of life. 16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. e 17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed ex- ceedingly upon the arth; f and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains g were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: h 22 All in whose nostrils was 6 the breath of life, of all that was in the |

Then he put forth his hand, and took her, and 4 pulled her in unto him into the ark. 10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark: 11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was and olive leaf, pluckt off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto |

20 And Noah began to be an hus- bandman, and he planted ta vine- yard: 21 And he drank of the wine, u and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw v the nakedness of his father, w and told his two brethren without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went in back- ward, x and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger con had done unto him. 25 And he said, y Cursed be Ca- naan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be 2 his servant. 27 God shall 3 enlarge Japheth, z and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 28 ¶ And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. first monarch. 21 The sons of Shem, etc.
were sons borhn after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ash- kenas, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and 1 Doda- nim. 5 By these were the isles a of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 6 ¶ And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Ca- naan. 7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, b and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba; and Dedan. 8 And Cush begat Nimrod: c he be- gan to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a might hunter d before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 10 And the beginning of his king- dom was 2 Babel, and Erech and |

2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed 3from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And 4they said one to another Go to, let us make brick, and 5 burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, a whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a b name lest webe scat- tered c abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down d to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be re- strained from them, which they have e imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound ftheir language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them aborad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called 6 Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face g of all the earth. 10 ¶ These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat, Arphaxad two years after the flood. 11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: 13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daugh- ters. 14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: 15 And Slah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters 16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat 7 Peleg: 17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty |

And the Canaanite h was then in the land. 7 And the LORD appeared i unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: k and there builded he an l alter unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. 8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, m and pitched his tent, hav- ing Beth-el on the west, and 1 Hai on the east; and there he builded an alter unto the lORD, and called n upon the name of the LORD. 9 And Abram journeyed, 2 going on still toward the south. 10 ¶ And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the fa- mine was grievous in the land. 11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Be- hold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: 12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. 13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my o sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. 14 ¶ And it came to pass, that when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 15 The princes also of Pharoah saw her, and commended her be- fore Pharaoh; p and the woman was q taken into Pharaoh's house. 16 And he entreated Abarm well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and men- servants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. 17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai, Abram's wife. 18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? r why didst |

Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. k 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed l Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden m of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. n 11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east: and they separated o them- selves the one from the other. 12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the ci- ties of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. |

And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, 3Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hastened to dress it. 8 And he took butter, e and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. 9 ¶ And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife?

26 And the LORD said, b if I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. 27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am c but dust and ashes. 28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. 30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twen- ty's sake. 32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: d Peradventure ten shall be found there.

And they said, nay; c but we will abide in the street all night. 3 And he pressed upon them great- ly; and turned in unto him, and entered into his house; d and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. 4 ¶ But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night, e bring them out unto us, that we may know them. |
