Old Testament5
THE FIRST BOOKOFMOSES, CALLED GENESISCHAPTER 1God creates heaven and earth, 1; the light, 3; the firmament, 6; separates the dry land, 9; forms the sun, moon, and stars, 14;fish and birds, 20; cattle, wild beasts, and creeping things, 24; creates man in his own image, blesses him, 26; grants the fruitsof the earth for food, 29.1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was withoutform and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved uponthe face of the waters. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 And God sawthe light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called thelight, Day, and the darkness he called, Night, and the evening and the morning were the firstday.6 And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide thewaters from the waters." 7 And God made the firmament and divided the waters which wereunder the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. 8 AndGod 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 into one place, and let thedry land appear." And it was so. 10 And God called the dry land, Earth, and the collection ofwaters he called, Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, "Let the earth bringforth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed isin itself, upon the earth." And it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yieldingseed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after its kind. And Godsaw 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 fromthe night, and let them be for signs, for seasons, for days, and years. 15 And let them be forlights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth." And it was so. 16 And Godmade two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. Healso made the stars. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon theearth, 18 To rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. AndGod saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.20 And God said, "Let the waters abundantly bring forth the moving creature that has lifeand the bird that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven." 21 And Godcreated the great sea-creatures and every living creature that moves, which the waters broughtforth abundantly after their kind, and every winged bird after his kind. And God saw that it wasgood. 22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the waters in the seas, and letbirds 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, thecreeping animal, and the beast of the earth after his kind." And it was so. 25 And God made thebeast of the earth after his kind, cattle after their kind, and every animal that creeps upon theearth 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 havedominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle, over all the earth,and over every creeping animal that creeps upon the earth." 27 So God created man in his ownimage. In the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. 28 And Godblessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it.And have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the bird of the air, and over every living animalthat moves upon the earth." 29 And God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearingseed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a treeyielding seed. To you it shall be for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth, to every bird of theair, and to every animal that creeps upon the earth, in which is life, I have given every green6
herb for food." And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it wasvery good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.References[v.27]: Quoted in Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6.CHAPTER 2The first Sabbath, 1-3. Further particulars concerning the manner of creation, 4-7. The planting of the garden of Eden and itssituation, 8-14; man is placed in it; and the tree of knowledge only forbidden, 15-17. The animals are named by Adam, 18. Themaking of woman and the institution of marriage, 21-25.1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on theseventh day God ended his work which he had made. And he rested on the seventh day from allhis work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in ithe had rested from all his work which God created and made.4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in theday that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. 5 And no plant of the field was yet inthe earth and no herb of the field had yet grown, because the LORD God had not caused it torain on the earth and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist fromthe earth and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the LORD God formed man of thedust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. And man became a livingsoul. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whomhe had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree to grow that is pleasantto the sight and good for food, and also the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the treeof knowledge of good and evil.10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden. And from there it was parted andbecame into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison, which compasses the whole land ofHavilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good. There is bdellium and theonyx-stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon, the same that compasses the wholeland of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel, which flows toward the east ofAssyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.15 And the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and tokeep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden youmay freely eat. 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat from it.For in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die."18 And the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him ahelper suitable for him." 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of thefield and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. Andwhatever Adam called every living creature, that was its name. 20 And Adam gave names to allcattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam, a helper suitable forhim was not found. 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 in its place. 22 And the rib, which the LORDGod had taken from man, he made into a woman, and brought her to the man.23 And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be calledWoman, because she was taken out of man."24 Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, andthey shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were notashamed.References[v.2]: Quoted in Hebrews 4:4.

The punishment of mankind, 16-20. Their first clothing,21. Their expulsion from paradise, 22-24.1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God hadmade, and he said to the woman, "Has God truly said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of thegarden'?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of thegarden, 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'Youshall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'" 4 And the serpent said to the woman,"You shall not surely die. 5 For God knows, that in the day you eat of it, your eyes shall beopened and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." 6 And when the woman saw that thetree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes and a tree to be desired to make onewise, she took some of its fruit and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. 7And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And theysewed fig-leaves together and made coverings for themselves.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 treesof the garden. 9 And the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" 10 Andhe said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hidmyself." 11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree ofwhich I commanded you that you should not eat?" 12 And the man said, "The woman whom yougave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate." 13 And the LORD God said to thewoman, "What is this that you have done?" And the woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, andI ate."14 And the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you are cursedabove all cattle and above every beast of the field. Upon your belly you shall go, and dust youshall eat all the days of your life.15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed.It shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception. Insorrow you shall bring forth children. And your desire shall be to your husband, and he shallrule over you."17 And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and haveeaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' the ground iscursed for your sake. In sorrow you shall eat of it all the days of your life.18 Thorns and thistles it shall also bring forth to you, and you shall eat the herb of thefield.19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of ityou were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all living. 21 ForAdam and also for his wife the LORD God made coats of skins and clothed them.22 And the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become as one of us, to know good andevil. And now, lest he should put forth his hand, take also of the tree of life, and eat and liveforever—" 23 Therefore, the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden to till theground from which he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man, and he placed Cherubim at theeast of the garden of Eden and a flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of thetree of life.CHAPTER 4The birth, occupation, and offering of Cain and Abel, 1-7.

1 And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have gottena man from the LORD." 2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep,but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain broughtof the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD. 4 And Abel, he also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and some of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect for Abel and for hisoffering, 5 But for Cain and for his offering he did not have respect. And Cain was very angryand his countenance fell. 6 And the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has yourcountenance fallen? 7 If you do well, shall you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sinlies at the door. And his desire shall be for you, and you shall rule over him." 8 And Cain talkedwith Abel his brother. And it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up againstAbel his brother and slew him.9 And the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know.Am I my brother's keeper?" 10 And he said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother'sblood cries to me from the ground. 11 And now you are cursed from the earth which hasopened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground,it shall not from now on yield to you its strength. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be in theearth." 13 And Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14 Behold,you have driven me this day from the face of the earth, and from your face I shall be hid. And Ishall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth. And it will come to pass, that everyone whofinds me will slay me." 15 And the LORD said to him, "Therefore, whoever slays Cain,vengeance shall be taken on him seven-fold." And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest anyonefinding him should kill him.16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and dwelt in the land of Nod on theeast of Eden.17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city andcalled the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. 18 And to Enoch was born Irad;and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methusael; and Methusael begot Lamech. 19 AndLamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah and the name of the other Zillah.20 And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and of those who havecattle. 21 And his brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who handle the harpand pipe. 22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, a forger of every cutting instrument of brassand iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.23 And Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. Wives of Lamech, listento my speech. For I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold, truly Lamech seventy-seven-fold."25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for shesaid, "God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew." 26 And to Seth, tohim there was also born a son, and he called his name Enos. Then men began to call upon thename of the LORD.CHAPTER 5Recapitulation of the creation of man, 1, 2. The genealogy, age, and death of the patriarchs from Adam to Noah, 3-31.

The order, form, dimensions, and end of the ark, 14-22.1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughterswere born to them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair. Andthey took for themselves wives of all whom they chose. 3 And the LORD said, "My Spirit shallnot always strive with man, for he also is flesh, yet his days shall be one hundred and twentyyears." 4 There were Nephilim in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons ofGod came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them, the same became mightymen, who were of old, men of renown.5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that everyimagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the LORD repentedthat he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart. 7 And the LORD said, "I willdestroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth—man, beast, the creeping animal,and the birds of the air. For I repent that I have made them." 8 But Noah found grace in theeyes of the LORD.9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations,and Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.11 The earth was also corrupt before God. And the earth was filled with violence. 12 AndGod looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted his way uponthe earth.10
13 And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filledwith violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an arkof gopher-wood. You shall make rooms in the ark and shall pitch it inside and outside withpitch. 15 And this is the fashion in which you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be threehundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16 You shall make a windowfor the ark, and in a cubit you shall finish it above. And the door of the ark you shall set in itsside. With lower, second, and third stories you shall make it. 17 And behold, I, even I bring aflood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of life, from underheaven. And everything that is on the earth shall die. 18 But with you I will establish mycovenant. And you shall come into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives withyou. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort you shall bring into the ark tokeep them alive with you. They shall be male and female. 20 Of birds after their kind, of cattleafter their kind, and of every creeping animal of the earth after its kind, two of every sort shallcome to you to keep them alive. 21 And take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shallgather it to yourself, and it shall be for food for you and for them." 22 And Noah did so.According to all that God commanded him, so he did.CHAPTER 7Noah, with his family and the living creatures, enters the ark, and the flood begins, 1-16.

For I haveseen you righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast you shall take with youby sevens, the male and his female, and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and hisfemale, 3 Of birds of the air also by sevens, the male and the female, to keep seed alive on theface of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty daysand forty nights. And every living substance that I have made I will destroy from the face of theearth." 5 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth. 7 AndNoah went in, along with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, becauseof the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, of beasts that are not clean, of birds, and of everyanimal that creeps upon the earth, 9 There went in two and two to Noah into the ark, the maleand the female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days, that thewaters of the flood were upon the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in thesecond month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the same day all the fountains of the greatdeep were broken up and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon theearth forty days and forty nights.13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth (the sons of Noah), Noah's wife,and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark— 14 They, every beast after hiskind, all the cattle after their kind, every creeping animal that creeps upon the earth after hiskind, and every bird after his kind—every bird of every sort. 15 And they went in to Noah intothe ark, two and two of all flesh, in which is the breath of life. 16 And those that entered, wentin male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And the LORD shut him in.17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth. And the waters increased and bore up theark, and it was lifted above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed and were increased greatlyupon the earth, and the ark moved upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailedexceedingly upon the earth, and all the high hills that were under the whole heaven werecovered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward the waters prevailed, and the mountains were covered. 21And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, of bird, of cattle, of beast, of every creepinganimal that creeps upon the earth, and every man. 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath oflife, of all that was on the dry land, died. 23 And every living substance was destroyed whichwas upon the face of the ground—man, cattle, the creeping animals, and the bird of heaven—and they were destroyed from the earth. And only Noah and those who were with him in theark remained alive. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.11
