shall be opened, and ye shall be as thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, gods, knowing good and evil. 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. 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. 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. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. 15 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow; in sorrow shalt thou bring up children. 16 And unto Adam he said, Because thou has hearkened unto the voice of 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; 17 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field: 18 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. 19 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 20 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God show how to make coats of skins, and clothed them. 21 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: 22 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 23 So he drove out the man: and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. CHAPTER IV. AND Eve bare a son and she called him Cain, and then she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 2 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 3 And Abel, he also brought of the 14 And the LORD said unto him, firstlings of his flock and of the fat Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 4 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 5 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen ? 6 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door: and unto thee is its desire, and thou shalt rule over it. 7 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. 8 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 9 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 10 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. 11 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth. 12 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 13 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 wanderer in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. vengeance shall be taken on him twice sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. CHAPTER V. AND Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 2 And Cain had a son, Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch. 3 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and unto Irad Mchujael: and unto Mchujael Methusael: and Methusael's son was Lamech. 4 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 5 And Adah bare Jabel: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. 6 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. 7 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. 8 And Lamech said unto his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen to my speech; I slay a man for wounding me, a youth for inflicting a stripe. Lo, Cain would be avenged twice sevenfold, but Lamech seventy-sevenfold. 9 And to Adam another son was born, and Eve called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another child instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. 10 And to Seth also was born a son; | fowls of the air; for it repenteth me and he called his name Enosh; then that I have made them. began men to call upon the name of the LORD. 7 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 8 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 from the earth. 9 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 10 And this is the fashion in which thou shalt make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 11 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. 12 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. 13 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 14 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. 15 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. 5 And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 6 And God said, I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth; both man, and 16 And take thou unto thee of all beast, and the creeping things, and the food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for wife, and the three wives of his sons food for thee, and for them. 17 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. AND CHAPTER VII. ND 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. 2 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. 3 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 4 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth: 5 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. 6 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth. 7 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 8 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 9 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. with them, into the ark; 12 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. 13 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 14 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 15 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. 16 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 17 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 18 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 19 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: 20 All in whom was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 21 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and 10 And the rain was upon the earth the creeping things, and the fowl of forty days and forty nights. 11 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japhet, the sons of Noah, and Noah's the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 22 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days. CHAPTER VIII. 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 assuaged; 2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained. 3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 4 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. 5 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 6 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 7 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground. 8 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 brought her in unto him into the ark. 9 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. 10 And the dove came in to him in the evening, and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 11 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove, which returned not again unto him any more. 12 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. 13 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 14 And God spake unto Noah, saying, 15 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 16 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 grow abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 17 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 18 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. 19 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. 20 And the LORD was pleased, and said, 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. 21 While the earth remaineth, seed |
