Genesis 1.1-11.26

1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2. And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. 6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8. And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. 9. And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together 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 he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11. And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so. 12. And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good. 13. And there was evening and there was morning, a third day. 14. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years: 15. and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16. And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17. And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth, 18. and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19. And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. 20. And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21. And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good. 22. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. 23. And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. 24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so. 25. And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good. 26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27. And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28. And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food: 30. and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so. 31. 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. 2:1. And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2:2. And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 2:3. And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made. 2:4. These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven. 2:5. And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground; 2:6. but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 2:7. And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 2:8. And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 2:9. And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 2:10. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads. 2:11. The name of the first is Pishon: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 2:12. and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 2:13. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush. 2:14. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 2:15. And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 2:16. And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 2:17. but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 2:18. And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him. 2:19. And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 2:20. And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help meet for him. 2:21. And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof: 2:22. and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 2:23. And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 2:24. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 2:25. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. 3:1. Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden? 3:2. And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat: 3:3. but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 3:4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 3:5. for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil. 3:6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. 3:7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig -leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 3:8. And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden. 3:9. And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou? 3:10. And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 3:11. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 3:12. And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 3:13. And Jehovah God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 3:14. And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 3:15. and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 3:16. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy conception; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 3:17. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 3:18. thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 3:19. in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 3:20. And the man called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 3:21. And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them. 3:22. And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever, 3:23. therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 3:24. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. 4:1. And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with the help of Jehovah. 4:2. And again she bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 4:3. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah. 4:4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 4:5. but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 4:6. And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 4:7. If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door; and unto thee shall be its desire; but do thou rule over it. 4:8. And Cain told 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. 4:9. And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper? 4:10. And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 4:11. And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 4:12. when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth. 4:13. And Cain said unto Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 4:14. 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. 4:15. And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite him. 4:16. And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 4:17. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. 4:18. And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael; and Mehujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lamech. 4:19. And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 4:20. And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle. 4:21. And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe. 4:22. And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. 4:23. And Lamech said unto his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: For I have slain a man for wounding me, And a young man for bruising me: 4:24. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. 4:25. And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For, said she, God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him. 4:26. And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then began men to call upon the name of Jehovah. 5:1. This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 5:2. male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 5:3. And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: 5:4. and the days of Adam after he begat Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters. 5:5. And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. 5:6. And Seth lived a hundred and five years, and begat Enosh: 5:7. and Seth lived after he begat Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:8. and all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. 5:9. And Enosh lived ninety years, and begat Kenan: 5:10. and Enosh lived after he begat Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:11. and all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years: and he died. 5:12. And Kenan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalalel: 5:13. and Kenan lived after he begat Mahalalel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:14. and all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died. 5:15. And Mahalalel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared: 5:16. And Mahalalel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:17. and all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 5:18. And Jared lived a hundred sixty and two years, and begat Enoch: 5:19. and Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:20. And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. 5:21. And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 5:22. and Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:23. and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 5:24. and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. 5:25. And Methuselah lived a hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech: 5:26. and Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:27. And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. 5:28. And Lamech lived a hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: 5:29. and he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, which cometh because of the ground which Jehovah hath cursed. 5:30. And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:31. And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. 5:32. And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6:1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto them, 6:2. that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose. 6:3. And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years. 6:4. The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown. 6:5. And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6:6. And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 6:7. And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 6:8. But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah. 6:9. These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God. 6:10. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6:11. And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 6:12. And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. 6:13. 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. 6:14. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 6:15. And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 6:16. A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 6:17. And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die. 6:18. But I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. 6:19. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 6:20. Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 6:21. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 6:22. Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. 7:1. And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 7:2. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female: 7:3. of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 7:4. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground. 7:5. And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him. 7:6. And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7:7. And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 7:8. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground, 7:9. there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 7:10. And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 7:11. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 7:12. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 7:13. In the selfsame 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, into the ark; 7:14. they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 7:15. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life. 7:16. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in. 7:17. And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. 7:18. And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 7:19. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered. 7:20. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 7:21. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 7:22. all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died. 7:23. And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark. 7:24. And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days. 8:1. And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged; 8:2. the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 8:3. and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased. 8:4. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 8:5. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. 8:6. And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 8:7. and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8:8. And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 8:9. but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark. 8:10. And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 8:11. and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 8:12. And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more. 8:13. And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried. 8:14. And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry. 8:15. And God spake unto Noah, saying, 8:16. Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 8:17. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 8:18. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 8:19. every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark. 8:20. And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar. 8:21. And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done. 8:22. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. 9:1. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 9:2. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; with all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered. 9:3. Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; as the green herb have I given you all. 9:4. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 9:5. And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man. 9:6. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: For in the image of God made he man. 9:7. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. 9:8. And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9:9. And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 9:10. and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. 9:11. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 9:12. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 9:13. I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 9:14. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud, 9:15. and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 9:16. 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 creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 9:17. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. 9:18. And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. 9:19. These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread. 9:20. And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard: 9:21. and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 9:22. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 9:23. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. 9:24. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him. 9:25. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 9:26. And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. 9:27. God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. 9:28. And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 9:29. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: And he died. 10:1. Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, namely, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 10:2. The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 10:3. And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 10:4. And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 10:5. Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 10:6. And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. 10:7. And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan. 10:8. And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 10:9. He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah: wherefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah. 10:10. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 10:11. Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah, 10:12. and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city). 10:13. And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 10:14. and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim. 10:15. And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth, 10:16. and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, 10:17. and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 10:18. and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad. 10:19. And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha. 10:20. These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. 10:21. And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born. 10:22. The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. 10:23. And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 10:24. And Arpachshad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber. 10:25. And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 10:26. And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 10:27. and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 10:28. and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 10:29. and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 10:30. And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. 10:31. These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 10:32. These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. 11:1. And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. 11:2. And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 11:3. And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 11:4. And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 11:5. And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 11:6. 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. 11:7. Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 11:8. So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city. 11:9. Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. 11:10. These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begat Arpachshad two years after the flood: 11:11. and Shem lived after he begat Arpachshad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:12. And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begat Shelah: 11:13. and Arpachshad lived after he begat Shelah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:14. And Shelah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: 11:15. and Shelah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:16. And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: 11:17. and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:18. And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: 11:19. and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:20. And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: 11:21. and Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:22. And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: 11:23. and Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:24. And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: 11:25. and Nahor lived after he begat Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:26. And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

11:27. Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. 11:28. And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. (Genesis 1:1-11:28, ASV)

1. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2. The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. 3. God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4. God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. 5. God called the light “day”, and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6. God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7. God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. 8. God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day. 9. God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10. God called the dry land “earth”, and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. God saw that it was good. 11. God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth”; and it was so. 12. The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. 13. There was evening and there was morning, a third day. 14. God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years; 15. and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16. God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth, 18. and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. 19. There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. 20. God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.” 21. God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. 22. God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23. There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. 24. God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind”; and it was so. 25. God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good. 26. God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27. God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28. God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29. God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. 30. To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so. 31. God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day. 2:1. The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished. 2:2. On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. 2:3. God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done. 2:4. This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens. 2:5. No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground, 2:6. but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground. 2:7. Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 2:8. Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 2:9. Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 2:10. A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers. 2:11. The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 2:12. and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there. 2:13. The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush. 2:14. The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates. 2:15. Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it. 2:16. Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; 2:17. but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” 2:18. Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.” 2:19. Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name. 2:20. The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him. 2:21. Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 2:22. Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 2:23. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of Man.” 2:24. Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh. 2:25. The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed. 3:1. Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?’” 3:2. The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden, 3:3. but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’” 3:4. The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t surely die, 3:5. for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 3:6. When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too. 3:7. Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves. 3:8. They heard Yahweh God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. 3:9. Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” 3:10. The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” 3:11. God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” 3:12. The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” 3:13. Yahweh God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 3:14. Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. 3:15. I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.” 3:16. To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bear children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” 3:17. To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and ate from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life. 3:18. It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field. 3:19. By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” 3:20. The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living. 3:21. Yahweh God made coats of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them. 3:22. Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...” 3:23. Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. 3:24. So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. 4:1. The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.” 4:2. Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 4:3. As time passed, Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground. 4:4. Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering, 4:5. but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell. 4:6. Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen? 4:7. If you do well, won’t it 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.” 4:8. Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him. 4:9. Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” 4:10. Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground. 4:11. Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 4:12. From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.” 4:13. Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. 4:14. Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.” 4:15. Yahweh said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him. 4:16. Cain left Yahweh’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 4:17. Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. 4:18. To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech. 4:19. Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah. 4:20. Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 4:21. His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe. 4:22. Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah. 4:23. Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me. 4:24. If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.” 4:25. Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.” 4:26. A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on Yahweh’s name. 5:1. This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in God’s likeness. 5:2. He created them male and female, and blessed them. On the day they were created, he named them “Adam”. 5:3. Adam lived one hundred thirty years, and became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 5:4. The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he became the father of other sons and daughters. 5:5. All the days that Adam lived were nine hundred thirty years, then he died. 5:6. Seth lived one hundred five years, then became the father of Enosh. 5:7. Seth lived after he became the father of Enosh eight hundred seven years, and became the father of other sons and daughters. 5:8. All of the days of Seth were nine hundred twelve years, then he died. 5:9. Enosh lived ninety years, and became the father of Kenan. 5:10. Enosh lived after he became the father of Kenan, eight hundred fifteen years, and became the father of other sons and daughters. 5:11. All of the days of Enosh were nine hundred five years, then he died. 5:12. Kenan lived seventy years, then became the father of Mahalalel. 5:13. Kenan lived after he became the father of Mahalalel eight hundred forty years, and became the father of other sons and daughters 5:14. and all of the days of Kenan were nine hundred ten years, then he died. 5:15. Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, then became the father of Jared. 5:16. Mahalalel lived after he became the father of Jared eight hundred thirty years, and became the father of other sons and daughters. 5:17. All of the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred ninety-five years, then he died. 5:18. Jared lived one hundred sixty-two years, then became the father of Enoch. 5:19. Jared lived after he became the father of Enoch eight hundred years, and became the father of other sons and daughters. 5:20. All of the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty-two years, then he died. 5:21. Enoch lived sixty-five years, then became the father of Methuselah. 5:22. After Methuselah’s birth, Enoch walked with God for three hundred years, and became the father of more sons and daughters. 5:23. All the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty-five years. 5:24. Enoch walked with God, and he was not found, for God took him. 5:25. Methuselah lived one hundred eighty-seven years, then became the father of Lamech. 5:26. Methuselah lived after he became the father of Lamech seven hundred eighty-two years, and became the father of other sons and daughters. 5:27. All the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty-nine years, then he died. 5:28. Lamech lived one hundred eighty-two years, then became the father of a son. 5:29. He named him Noah, saying, “This one will comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, caused by the ground which Yahweh has cursed.” 5:30. Lamech lived after he became the father of Noah five hundred ninety-five years, and became the father of other sons and daughters. 5:31. All the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy-seven years, then he died. 5:32. Noah was five hundred years old, then Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6:1. When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them, 6:2. God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives. 6:3. Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred twenty years.” 6:4. The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 6:5. Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil. 6:6. Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart. 6:7. Yahweh said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground, man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 6:8. But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes. 6:9. This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God. 6:10. Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6:11. The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 6:12. God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 6:13. God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth. 6:14. Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch. 6:15. This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 6:16. You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels. 6:17. I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die. 6:18. But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 6:19. Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female. 6:20. Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive. 6:21. Take with you some of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.” 6:22. Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him. 7:1. Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation. 7:2. You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female. 7:3. Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth. 7:4. In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.” 7:5. Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him. 7:6. Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth. 7:7. Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters. 7:8. Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground 7:9. went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 7:10. After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth. 7:11. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky’s windows were opened. 7:12. It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights. 7:13. In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship, 7:14. they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 7:15. Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah. 7:16. Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in. 7:17. The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth. 7:18. The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters. 7:19. The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered. 7:20. The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. 7:21. All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man. 7:22. All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. 7:23. Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship. 7:24. The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days. 8:1. God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided. 8:2. The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained. 8:3. The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased. 8:4. The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains. 8:5. The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible. 8:6. At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made, 8:7. and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8:8. He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground, 8:9. but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship. 8:10. He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship. 8:11. The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth. 8:12. He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him anymore. 8:13. In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried. 8:14. In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. 8:15. God spoke to Noah, saying, 8:16. “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you. 8:17. Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.” 8:18. Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him. 8:19. Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship. 8:20. Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 8:21. Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done. 8:22. While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.” 9:1. God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. 9:2. The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand. 9:3. Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you. 9:4. But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat. 9:5. I will surely require your blood of your lives; at the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man. 9:6. Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image. 9:7. Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.” 9:8. God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9:9. “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you, 9:10. and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth. 9:11. I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 9:12. God said, “This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 9:13. I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth. 9:14. When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud, 9:15. and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 9:16. The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 9:17. God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.” 9:18. The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan. 9:19. These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated. 9:20. Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard. 9:21. He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent. 9:22. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 9:23. Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness. 9:24. Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him. 9:25. He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.” 9:26. He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant. 9:27. May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.” 9:28. Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood. 9:29. All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died. 10:1. Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood. 10:2. The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 10:3. The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 10:4. The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 10:5. Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations. 10:6. The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 10:7. The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan. 10:8. Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. 10:9. He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh”. 10:10. The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 10:11. Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 10:12. and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah. 10:13. Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 10:14. Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim. 10:15. Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth, 10:16. the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 10:17. the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 10:18. the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. 10:19. The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza, as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha. 10:20. These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations. 10:21. Children were also born to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth. 10:22. The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 10:23. The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 10:24. Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber. 10:25. To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan. 10:26. Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 10:27. Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 10:28. Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 10:29. Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 10:30. Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. 10:31. These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations. 10:32. These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these in the earth after the flood. 11:1. The whole earth was of one language and of one speech. 11:2. As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there. 11:3. They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar. 11:4. They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.” 11:5. Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built. 11:6. Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do. 11:7. Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 11:8. So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city. 11:9. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth. 11:10. This is the history of the generations of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood. 11:11. Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and became the father of more sons and daughters. 11:12. Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and became the father of Shelah. 11:13. Arpachshad lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Shelah, and became the father of more sons and daughters. 11:14. Shelah lived thirty years, and became the father of Eber. 11:15. Shelah lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Eber, and became the father of more sons and daughters. 11:16. Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg. 11:17. Eber lived four hundred thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and became the father of more sons and daughters. 11:18. Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu. 11:19. Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of more sons and daughters. 11:20. Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug. 11:21. Reu lived two hundred seven years after he became the father of Serug, and became the father of more sons and daughters. 11:22. Serug lived thirty years, and became the father of Nahor. 11:23. Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and became the father of more sons and daughters. 11:24. Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah. 11:25. Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the father of more sons and daughters. 11:26. Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

11:27. Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot. 11:28. Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees. (Genesis 1:1-11:28, WEB)

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. ^{the light from: Heb. between the light and between the darkness} 5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. ^{And the evening: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was} 6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. ^{firmament: Heb. expansion} 7. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together 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 he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. ^{grass: Heb. tender grass} 12. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13. And the evening and the morning were the third day. 14. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: ^{the day: Heb. between the day and between the night} 15. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. ^{to rule the day: Heb. for the rule of the day, etc.} 17. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 20. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. ^{moving: or, creeping life: Heb. soul fowl: Heb. let fowl fly open: Heb. face of the firmament of heaven} 21. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over 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, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, 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 moveth upon the earth. ^{moveth: Heb. creepeth} 29. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. ^{bearing: Heb. seeding seed yielding: Heb. seeding seed} 30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. ^{life: Heb. a living soul} 31. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 2:1. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2:2. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 2:3. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. ^{created: Heb. created to make} 2:4. 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, 2:5. And every plant of the field before 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. 2:6. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. ^{there: or, a mist which went up from, etc.} 2:7. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. ^{of the dust: Heb. dust of the ground} 2:8. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 2:9. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 2:10. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 2:11. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 2:12. And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 2:13. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. ^{Ethiopia: Heb. Cush} 2:14. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. ^{toward: or, eastward to Assyria} 2:15. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. ^{the man: or, Adam} 2:16. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: ^{thou: Heb. eating thou shalt eat} 2:17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. ^{thou shalt surely: Heb. dying thou shalt die} 2:18. And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. ^{meet: Heb. as before him} 2:19. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. ^{Adam: or, the man} 2:20. And Adam 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. ^{gave: Heb. called} 2:21. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 2:22. And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. ^{made: Heb. builded} 2:23. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. ^{Woman: Heb. Isha Man: Heb. Ish} 2:24. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 2:25. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. 3:1. Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? ^{Yea: Heb. Yea, because, etc.} 3:2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3:3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 3:4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 3:5. 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. 3:6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. ^{pleasant: Heb. a desire} 3:7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. ^{aprons: or, things to gird about} 3:8. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. ^{cool: Heb. wind} 3:9. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 3:10. And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 3:11. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 3:12. And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 3:13. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 3:14. 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 dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 3:15. 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. 3:16. 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 to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. ^{to thy: or, subject to thy husband} 3:17. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded 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; 3:18. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; ^{bring: Heb. cause to bud} 3:19. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 3:20. And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. ^{Eve: Heb. Chavah: that is Living} 3:21. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 3:22. And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 3:23. Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 3:24. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. 4:1. And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. ^{Cain: that is, Gotten, or, Acquired} 4:2. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. ^{Abel: Heb. Hebel a keeper: Heb. a feeder} 4:3. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. ^{in process: Heb. at the end of days} 4:4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: ^{flock: Heb. sheep, or, goats} 4:5. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 4:6. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 4:7. If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. ^{be accepted: or, have the excellency unto: or, subject unto thee} 4:8. 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 slew him. 4:9. And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 4:10. And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. ^{blood: Heb. bloods} 4:11. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 4:12. 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. 4:13. And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. ^{My: or, Mine iniquity is greater than that it may be forgiven} 4:14. 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, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. 4:15. And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 4:16. And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 4:17. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. ^{Enoch: Heb. Chanoch} 4:18. And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. ^{Lamech: Heb. Lemech} 4:19. And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 4:20. And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. 4:21. And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. 4:22. And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. ^{instructer: Heb. whetter} 4:23. And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. ^{I have: or, I would slay a man in my wound, etc to my hurt: or, in my hurt} 4:24. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. 4:25. And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. ^{Seth: Heb. Sheth: that is Appointed, or, Put} 4:26. And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD. ^{Enos: Heb. Enosh to call: or, to call themselves by the name of the Lord} 5:1. This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 5:2. Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 5:3. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: 5:4. And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: 5:5. And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. 5:6. And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: ^{Enos: Heb. Enosh} 5:7. And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:8. And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. 5:9. And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: ^{Cainan: Heb. Kenan} 5:10. And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:11. And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died. 5:12. And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel: ^{Mahalaleel: Gr. Maleleel} 5:13. And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:14. And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died. 5:15. And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared: ^{Jared: Heb. Jered} 5:16. And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:17. And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 5:18. And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch: 5:19. And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:20. And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. 5:21. And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: ^{Methuselah: Gr. Mathusala} 5:22. And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:23. And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 5:24. And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. 5:25. And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech: 5:26. And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: ^{Lamech: Heb. Lemech} 5:27. And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. 5:28. And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: 5:29. And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. ^{Noah: Gr. Noe: that is Rest, or, Comfort} 5:30. And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:31. And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. 5:32. And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6:1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 6:2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 6:3. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 6:4. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 6:5. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ^{every: or, the whole imagination: the Hebrew word signifieth not only the imagination, but also the purposes and desires continually: Heb. every day} 6:6. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 6:7. 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. ^{both: Heb. from man unto beast} 6:8. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 6:9. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. ^{perfect: or, upright} 6:10. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6:11. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 6:12. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 6:13. 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. ^{with the earth: or, from the earth} 6:14. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. ^{rooms: Heb. nests} 6:15. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 6:16. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 6:17. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. 6:18. 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. 6:19. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 6:20. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 6:21. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 6:22. Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. 7:1. And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 7:2. 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. ^{by sevens: Heb. seven seven} 7:3. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. ^{by sevens: Heb. seven seven} 7:4. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. ^{destroy: Heb. blot out} 7:5. And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 7:6. And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7:7. And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 7:8. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 7:9. There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 7:10. And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. ^{after: or, on the seventh day} 7:11. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. ^{windows: or, floodgates} 7:12. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 7:13. In the selfsame 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, into the ark; 7:14. 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 sort. ^{sort: Heb. wing} 7:15. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 7:16. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 7:17. 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. 7:18. And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 7:19. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 7:20. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 7:21. 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: 7:22. All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. ^{the breath: Heb. the breath of the spirit of life} 7:23. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 7:24. And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. 8:1. And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; 8:2. The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 8:3. And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. ^{continually: Heb. in going and returning} 8:4. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 8:5. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. ^{decreased: Heb. were in going and decreasing} 8:6. And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 8:7. And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. ^{to: Heb. in going forth and returning} 8:8. Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 8:9. But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. ^{pulled: Heb. caused her to come} 8:10. And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 8:11. And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 8:12. And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. 8:13. And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. 8:14. And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 8:15. And God spake unto Noah, saying, 8:16. Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 8:17. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 8:18. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 8:19. Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. ^{kinds: Heb. families} 8:20. And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 8:21. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. ^{a sweet: Heb. a savour of rest or, satisfaction for the imagination: or, through the imagination} 8:22. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. ^{While: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth} 9:1. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 9:2. 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. 9:3. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 9:4. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 9:5. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 9:6. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 9:7. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. 9:8. And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9:9. And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 9:10. And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. 9:11. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 9:12. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 9:13. I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 9:14. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 9:15. And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 9:16. 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 creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 9:17. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. 9:18. And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. ^{Canaan: Heb. Chenaan} 9:19. These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 9:20. And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 9:21. And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 9:22. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 9:23. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. 9:24. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 9:25. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 9:26. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. ^{his servant: or, servant to them} 9:27. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. ^{enlarge: or, persuade} 9:28. And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 9:29. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. 10:1. Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 10:2. The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 10:3. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 10:4. And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. ^{Dodanim: or, as some read it, Rodanim} 10:5. By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 10:6. And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 10:7. And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 10:8. And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 10:9. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 10:10. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ^{Babel: Gr. Babylon} 10:11. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, ^{went: or, he went out into Assyria the city: or, the streets of the city} 10:12. And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. 10:13. And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 10:14. And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. 10:15. And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, ^{Sidon: Heb. Tzidon} 10:16. And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 10:17. And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 10:18. And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 10:19. And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. ^{Gaza: Heb. Azzah} 10:20. These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 10:21. Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. 10:22. The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. ^{Arphaxad: Heb. Arpachshad} 10:23. And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 10:24. And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. ^{Salah: Heb. Shelah} 10:25. And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. ^{Peleg: that is Division} 10:26. And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 10:27. And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 10:28. And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 10:29. And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 10:30. And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. 10:31. These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 10:32. 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. 11:1. And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. ^{language: Heb. lip. speech: Heb. words} 11:2. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. ^{from: or, eastward} 11:3. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. ^{they said: Heb. a man said to his neighbour burn: Heb. burn them to a burning} 11:4. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 11:5. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 11:6. 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 restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 11:7. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 11:8. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 11:9. Therefore is the name of it called 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 of all the earth. ^{Babel: that is, Confusion} 11:10. These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: 11:11. And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:12. And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: 11:13. And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:14. And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: 11:15. And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:16. And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: ^{Peleg: Gr. Phalec} 11:17. And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:18. And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: 11:19. And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:20. And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: ^{Serug: Gr. Saruch} 11:21. And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:22. And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: 11:23. And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:24. And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: ^{Terah: Gr. Thara} 11:25. And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 11:26. And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

11:27. Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. 11:28. And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. (Genesis 1:1-11:28, KJV)

1. In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth 2. the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters, 3. and God saith, 'Let light be;' and light is. 4. And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness, 5. and God calleth to the light 'Day,' and to the darkness He hath called 'Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning, day one. 6. And God saith, 'Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.' 7. And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so. 8. And God calleth to the expanse 'Heavens;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning, day second. 9. And God saith, 'Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so. 10. And God calleth to the dry land 'Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called 'Seas;' and God seeth that [it is] good. 11. And God saith, 'Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so. 12. And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that [it is] good; 13. and there is an evening, and there is a morning, day third. 14. And God saith, 'Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years, 15. and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:' and it is so. 16. And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary, and the stars, for the rule of the night; 17. and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth, 18. and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that [it is] good; 19. and there is an evening, and there is a morning, day fourth. 20. And God saith, 'Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and fowl let fly on the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.' 21. And God prepareth the great monsters, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every fowl with wing, after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good. 22. And God blesseth them, saying, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl let multiply in the earth:' 23. and there is an evening, and there is a morning, day fifth. 24. And God saith, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind:' and it is so. 25. And God maketh 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 seeth that [it is] good. 26. And God saith, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.' 27. And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them. 28. And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.' 29. And God saith, 'Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food; 30. and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food:' and it is so. 31. And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning, day the sixth. 2:1. And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host; 2:2. and God completeth by the seventh day His work which He hath made, and ceaseth by the seventh day from all His work which He hath made. 2:3. And God blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making. 2:4. These [are] births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making earth and heavens; 2:5. and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground, 2:6. and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground. 2:7. And Jehovah God formeth the man, dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature. 2:8. And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed; 2:9. and Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 2:10. And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers]; 2:11. the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold [is], 2:12. and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone; 2:13. and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush; 2:14. and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat. 2:15. And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it. 2:16. And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat; 2:17. and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it, dying thou dost die.' 2:18. And Jehovah God saith, 'Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper, as his counterpart.' 2:19. And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that [is] its name. 2:20. And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper, as his counterpart. 2:21. And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up flesh in its stead. 2:22. And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man; 2:23. and the man saith, 'This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken; 2:24. therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh. 2:25. And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves. 3:1. And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, 'Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?' 3:2. And the woman saith unto the serpent, 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat, 3:3. and of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.' 3:4. And the serpent saith unto the woman, 'Dying, ye do not die, 3:5. for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it, your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.' 3:6. And the woman seeth that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat; 3:7. 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. 3:8. And they hear the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the trees of the garden. 3:9. And Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, 'Where [art] thou?' 3:10. and he saith, 'Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.' 3:11. And He saith, 'Who hath declared to thee that thou [art] naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?' 3:12. and the man saith, 'The woman whom Thou didst place with me, she hath given to me of the tree, and I do eat.' 3:13. And Jehovah God saith to the woman, 'What [is] this thou hast done?' and the woman saith, 'The serpent hath caused me to forget, and I do eat.' 3:14. And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, 'Because thou hast done this, cursed [art] thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life; 3:15. and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee, the head, and thou dost bruise him, the heel.' 3:16. Unto the woman He said, 'Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband [is] thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.' 3:17. And to the man He said, 'Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life, 3:18. and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field; 3:19. by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou [art], and unto dust thou turnest back.' 3:20. And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living. 3:21. And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them. 3:22. And Jehovah God saith, 'Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' 3:23. Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken; 3:24. yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life. 4:1. And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, 'I have gotten a man by Jehovah;' 4:2. and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground. 4:3. And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah; 4:4. and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah looketh unto Abel and unto his present, 4:5. and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen. 4:6. And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen? 4:7. Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.' 4:8. And Cain saith unto Abel his brother, ['Let us go into the field;'] and it cometh to pass in their being in the field, that Cain riseth up against Abel his brother, and slayeth him. 4:9. And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Where [is] Abel thy brother?' and he saith, 'I have not known; my brother's keeper, I?' 4:10. And He saith, 'What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground; 4:11. and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand; 4:12. when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee, a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.' 4:13. And Cain saith unto Jehovah, 'Greater is my punishment than to be borne; 4:14. lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been, every one finding me doth slay me.' 4:15. And Jehovah saith to him, 'Therefore, of any slayer of Cain sevenfold it is required;' and Jehovah setteth to Cain a token that none finding him doth slay him. 4:16. And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden; 4:17. and Cain knoweth his wife, and she conceiveth, and beareth Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calleth the name of the city, according to the name of his son, Enoch. 4:18. And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath begotten Lamech. 4:19. And Lamech taketh to himself two wives, the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah. 4:20. And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents and purchased possessions; 4:21. and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he hath been father of every one handling harp and organ. 4:22. And Zillah she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] Naamah. 4:23. And Lamech saith to his wives:, 'Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For a man I have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt; 4:24. For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.' 4:25. And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a son, and calleth his name Seth, 'for God hath appointed for me another seed instead of Abel:' for Cain had slain him. 4:26. And to Seth, to him also a son hath been born, and he calleth his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the name of Jehovah. 5:1. This [is] an account of the births of Adam: In the day of God's preparing man, in the likeness of God He hath made him; 5:2. a male and a female He hath prepared them, and He blesseth them, and calleth their name Man, in the day of their being prepared. 5:3. And Adam liveth an hundred and thirty years, and begetteth [a son] in his likeness, according to his image, and calleth his name Seth. 5:4. And the days of Adam after his begetting Seth are eight hundred years, and he begetteth sons and daughters. 5:5. And all the days of Adam which he lived are nine hundred and thirty years, and he dieth. 5:6. And Seth liveth an hundred and five years, and begetteth Enos. 5:7. And Seth liveth after his begetting Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 5:8. And all the days of Seth are nine hundred and twelve years, and he dieth. 5:9. And Enos liveth ninety years, and begetteth Cainan. 5:10. And Enos liveth after his begetting Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 5:11. And all the days of Enos are nine hundred and five years, and he dieth. 5:12. And Cainan liveth seventy years, and begetteth Mahalaleel. 5:13. And Cainan liveth after his begetting Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 5:14. And all the days of Cainan are nine hundred and ten years, and he dieth. 5:15. And Mahalaleel liveth five and sixty years, and begetteth Jared. 5:16. And Mahalaleel liveth after his begetting Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 5:17. And all the days of Mahalaleel are eight hundred and ninety and five years, and he dieth. 5:18. And Jared liveth an hundred and sixty and two years, and begetteth Enoch. 5:19. And Jared liveth after his begetting Enoch eight hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 5:20. And all the days of Jared are nine hundred and sixty and two years, and he dieth. 5:21. And Enoch liveth five and sixty years, and begetteth Methuselah. 5:22. And Enoch walketh habitually with God after his begetting Methuselah three hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 5:23. And all the days of Enoch are three hundred and sixty and five years. 5:24. And Enoch walketh habitually with God, and he is not, for God hath taken him. 5:25. And Methuselah liveth an hundred and eighty and seven years, and begetteth Lamech. 5:26. And Methuselah liveth after his begetting Lamech seven hundred and eighty and two years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 5:27. And all the days of Methuselah are nine hundred and sixty and nine years, and he dieth. 5:28. And Lamech liveth an hundred and eighty and two years, and begetteth a son, 5:29. and calleth his name Noah, saying, 'This [one] doth comfort us concerning our work, and concerning the labour of our hands, because of the ground which Jehovah hath cursed.' 5:30. And Lamech liveth after his begetting Noah five hundred and ninety and five years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 5:31. And all the days of Lamech are seven hundred and seventy and seven years, and he dieth. 5:32. And Noah is a son of five hundred years, and Noah begetteth Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6:1. And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them, 6:2. 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. 6:3. 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. 6:4. 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. 6:5. And Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day; 6:6. and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself, unto His heart. 6:7. And Jehovah saith, 'I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.' 6:8. And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah. 6:9. These [are] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually. 6:10. And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6:11. And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence. 6:12. And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth. 6:13. And God said to Noah, 'An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth. 6:14. 'Make for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress; 6:15. and this [is] that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height; 6:16. a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side,, lower, second, and third [stories] dost thou make it. 6:17. 'And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which [is] a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that [is] in the earth doth expire. 6:18. 'And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee; 6:19. 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. 6:20. Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [sort] they come in unto thee, to keep alive. 6:21. 'And thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.' 6:22. And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done. 7:1. And Jehovah saith to Noah, 'Come in, thou and all thy house, unto the ark, for thee I have seen righteous before Me in this generation; 7:2. of all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean two, a male and its female; 7:3. also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth; 7:4. for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.' 7:5. And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him: 7:6. and Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth. 7:7. And Noah goeth in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, unto the ark, from the presence of the waters of the deluge; 7:8. of the clean beasts and of the beasts that [are] not clean, and of the fowl, and of every thing that is creeping upon the ground, 7:9. two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah. 7:10. And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on the earth. 7:11. In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day have been broken up all fountains of the great deep, and the net-work of the heavens hath been opened, 7:12. and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights. 7:13. In this self-same day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, unto the ark; 7:14. they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird, every wing. 7:15. And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit; 7:16. 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. 7:17. And the deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off the earth; 7:18. and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters. 7:19. And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which [are] under the whole heavens; 7:20. fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered; 7:21. 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; 7:22. all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit, of all that [is] in the dry land, have died. 7:23. 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; 7:24. and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days. 8:1. 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, 8:2. and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens. 8:3. 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. 8:4. And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat; 8:5. and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains. 8:6. And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made, 8:7. and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth. 8:8. And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground, 8:9. 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. 8:10. And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark; 8:11. and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth. 8:12. And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more. 8:13. And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried. 8:14. And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry. 8:15. And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, 'Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee; 8:16. every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee; 8:17. and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.' 8:18. And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him; 8:19. every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark. 8:20. And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar; 8:21. and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, 'I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done; 8:22. during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.' 9:1. And God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth; 9:2. and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every fowl of the heavens, on all that creepeth on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea, into your hand they have been given. 9:3. Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole; 9:4. only flesh in its life, its blood, ye do not eat. 9:5. 'And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother I require the life of man; 9:6. whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man. 9:7. And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.' 9:8. And God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons with him, saying, 9:9. 'And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you, 9:10. 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. 9:11. And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not any more cut off by waters of a deluge, and there is not any more a deluge to destroy the earth.' 9:12. And God saith, 'This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to generations age-during; 9:13. My bow I have given in the cloud, and it hath been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth; 9:14. and it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow hath been seen in the cloud, 9:15. and I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters become no more a deluge to destroy all flesh; 9:16. and the bow hath been in the cloud, and I have seen it, to remember the covenant age-during between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on the earth.' 9:17. And God saith unto Noah, 'This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] upon the earth.' 9:18. And the sons of Noah who are going out of the ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan. 9:19. These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these hath all the earth been overspread. 9:20. And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard, 9:21. and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent. 9:22. And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth to his two brethren without. 9:23. 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. 9:24. And Noah awaketh from his wine, and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him, 9:25. and saith: 'Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brethren.' 9:26. And he saith: 'Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him. 9:27. God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.' 9:28. And Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years; 9:29. and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth. 10:1. And these [are] births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and born to them are sons after the deluge. 10:2. 'Sons of Japheth [are] Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 10:3. And sons of Gomer [are] Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 10:4. And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 10:5. By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations. 10:6. And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 10:7. And sons of Cush [are] Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah [are] Sheba and Dedan. 10:8. And Cush hath begotten Nimrod; 10:9. he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, 'As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.' 10:10. And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar; 10:11. from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah, 10:12. and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city. 10:13. And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim, 10:14. and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out Philistim,) and the Caphtorim. 10:15. And Canaan hath begotten Sidon his first-born, and Heth, 10:16. and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, 10:17. and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 10:18. and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered. 10:19. And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, [in] thy coming towards Gerar, unto Gaza; [in] thy coming towards Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, unto Lasha. 10:20. These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. 10:21. As to Shem, father of all sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the elder, he hath also begotten: 10:22. Sons of Shem [are] Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 10:23. And sons of Aram [are] Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 10:24. And Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten Eber. 10:25. And to Eber have two sons been born; the name of the one [is] Peleg (for in his days hath the earth been divided,) and his brother's name [is] Joktan. 10:26. And Joktan hath begotten Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 10:27. and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 10:28. and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 10:29. and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these [are] sons of Joktan; 10:30. and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east. 10:31. These [are] sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations. 10:32. These [are] families of the sons of Noah, by their births, in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in the earth after the deluge. 11:1. And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words, 11:2. and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there; 11:3. and they say each one to his neighbour, 'Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly:' and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar. 11:4. And they say, 'Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.' 11:5. And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded; 11:6. and Jehovah saith, 'Lo, the people [is] one, and one pronunciation [is] to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do. 11:7. Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.' 11:8. And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city; 11:9. therefore hath [one] called its name Babel, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth. 11:10. These [are] births of Shem: Shem [is] a son of an hundred years, and begetteth Arphaxad two years after the deluge. 11:11. And Shem liveth after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 11:12. And Arphaxad hath lived five and thirty years, and begetteth Salah. 11:13. And Arphaxad liveth after his begetting Salah four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 11:14. And Salah hath lived thirty years, and begetteth Eber. 11:15. And Salah liveth after his begetting Eber four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 11:16. And Eber liveth four and thirty years, and begetteth Peleg. 11:17. And Eber liveth after his begetting Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 11:18. And Peleg liveth thirty years, and begetteth Reu. 11:19. And Peleg liveth after his begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 11:20. And Reu liveth two and thirty years, and begetteth Serug. 11:21. And Reu liveth after his begetting Serug two hundred and seven years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 11:22. And Serug liveth thirty years, and begetteth Nahor. 11:23. And Serug liveth after his begetting Nahor two hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 11:24. And Nahor liveth nine and twenty years, and begetteth Terah. 11:25. And Nahor liveth after his begetting Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 11:26. And Terah liveth seventy years, and begetteth Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

11:27. And these [are] births of Terah: Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot; 11:28. and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees. (Genesis 1:1-11:28, YLT)
