Genesis

before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth,

and there was no man to till the ground. 6 But a mist went up from the

earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground. 7 And Jehovah

Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the

breath of life; and Man became a living soul. 8 And Jehovah Elohim

planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had

formed. 9 And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow

that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; and the tree of life, in the

midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10

And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it

was parted, and became four main streams. 11 The name of the one is

Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the

gold is. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone

are there. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which

surrounds the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is

Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth

river, that is Euphrates. 15 And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him

into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it. 16 And Jehovah Elohim

commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely

eat; 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 of it thou shalt certainly die. 18

And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will

make him a helpmate, his like. 19 And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim

had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and

brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever

Man called each living soul, that was its name. 20 And Man gave names

to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the

field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like. 21 And Jehovah

Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took

one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead. 22 And Jehovah Elohim

built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her

to Man. 23 And Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of

my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a

man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and

cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25 And they were

both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Chapter 1

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 And the

earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep,

and the Spirit of God was hovering over 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 between the light and the darkness. 5

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And

there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day. 6 And God

said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a

division between waters and waters. 7 And God made the expanse, and

divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters

that are above the expanse; and it was so. 8 And God called the

expanse Heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning -- a

second day. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be

gathered together to 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 he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 And God

said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-

trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the

earth. And it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, herb

producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is

in them, 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 expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day

and 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 expanse of the heavens, to

give light on the earth. And it was so. 16 And God made the two great

lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, -

- and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to

give light on the earth, 18 and to rule during the day and during the night,

and to divide between the light and 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 souls,

and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens. 21 And

God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves

with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl 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

fowl 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

souls after their kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth,

after their kind. And it was so. 25 And God made 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 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 heavens,

and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping

thing that creepeth on the earth. 27 And God created Man in his image,

in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and

multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the

fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal

that moveth on the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you

every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in

which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you; 30 and

to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to

everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, 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.

Chapter 3

1 And the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which

Jehovah Elohim had made. And it said to the woman, Is it even so, that

God has said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the

woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the

garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden,

God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, and ye shall not touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die; 5 but God

knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will

be as God, knowing good and evil. 6 And the woman saw that the tree

was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree

was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate,

and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. 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 Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of

the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of

Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden. 9 And Jehovah

Elohim called to Man, and said to him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I

heard thy voice in the garden, and I feared, because I am naked; and I

hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou

eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat? 12 And Man

said, The woman, whom thou hast given [to be] with me, she gave me of

the tree, and I ate. 13 And Jehovah Elohim said to the woman, What is

this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me,

and I ate. 14 And Jehovah Elohim said to the serpent, Because thou

hast done this, be thou cursed above all cattle, and above every beast

of the field. On thy belly shalt thou go, and eat dust all the days of thy

life. 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between

thy seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his

heel. 16 To the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy travail and thy

pregnancy; with pain thou shalt bear children; and to thy husband shall

be thy desire, and he shall rule over thee. 17 And to Adam he said,

Chapter 2

1 And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished. 2 And

God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and

he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3

And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he

rested from all his work which God had created in making it. 4 These are

the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in

the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens, 5 and every

shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field

Genesis

begot [a son] in his likeness, after his image, and called his name Seth. 4

And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred

years; and he begot sons and daughters. 5 And all the days of Adam that

he lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. 6 And Seth

lived a hundred and five years, and begot Enosh. 7 And Seth lived after

he had begotten Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and begot sons

and daughters. 8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve

years; and he died. 9 And Enosh lived ninety years, and begot Cainan.

10 And Enosh lived after he had begotten Cainan eight hundred and

fifteen years, and begot sons and daughters. 11 And all the days of

Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died. 12 And Cainan

lived seventy years, and begot Mahalaleel. 13 And Cainan lived after he

had begotten Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begot sons

and daughters. 14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten

years; and he died. 15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty-five years, and begot

Jared. 16 And Mahalaleel lived after he had begotten Jared eight

hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters. 17 And all the

days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he

died. 18 And Jared lived a hundred and sixty-two years, and begot

Enoch. 19 And Jared lived after he had begotten Enoch eight hundred

years, and begot sons and daughters. 20 And all the days of Jared were

nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died. 21 And Enoch lived sixty-

five years, and begot Methushelah. 22 And Enoch walked with God after

he had begotten Methushelah three hundred years, and begot sons and

daughters. 23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-

five years. 24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took

him. 25 And Methushelah lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, and

begot Lemech. 26 And Methushelah lived after he had begotten Lemech

seven hundred and eighty-two years, and begot sons and daughters. 27

And all the days of Methushelah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years;

and he died. 28 And Lemech lived a hundred and eighty-two years, and

begot a son. 29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This [one] shall

comfort us concerning our work and concerning the toil of our hands,

because of the ground which Jehovah has cursed. 30 And Lemech lived

after he had begotten Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and

begot sons and daughters. 31 And all the days of Lemech were seven

hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died. 32 And Noah was five

hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Chapter 4

1 And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and

said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah. 2 And she further bore his

brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman. 3

And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of

the ground an offering to Jehovah. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the

firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and

on his offering; 5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look.

And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. 6 And Jehovah said

to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou

doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if

thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his

desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8 And Cain spoke to 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. 9 And Jehovah said to Cain,

Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother`s

keeper? 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother`s

blood is crying to me from the ground. 11 And now be thou cursed from

the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother`s blood

from thy hand. 12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth

yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the

earth. 13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be

borne. 14 Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the

ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and

fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds

me will slay me. 15 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth

Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain,

lest any finding him should smite him. 16 And Cain went out from the

presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of

Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch.

And he built a city; and he called 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 Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech. 19 And

Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of

the second, Zillah. 20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those

who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle. 21 And his brother`s name was

Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe. 22 And

Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass

and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. 23 And Lemech

said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech,

listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth

for my bruise. 24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy

and seven fold. 25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son,

and called his name Seth: ... For God has appointed me another seed

instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him. 26 And to Seth, to him also

was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to

call on the name of Jehovah.

Chapter 6

1 And it came to pass when mankind began to multiply on the earth, and

daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters

of men that they were fair, and took themselves wives of all that they

chose. 3 And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not always plead with Man;

for he indeed is flesh; but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

4 In those days were the giants on the earth, and also afterwards, when

the sons of God had come in to the daughters of men, and they had

borne [children] to them; these were the heroes, who of old were men of

renown. 5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of Man was great on

the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil

continually. 6 And Jehovah repented that he had made Man on the earth,

and it grieved him in his heart. 7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy Man,

whom I have created, from the earth -- from man to cattle, to creeping

things, and to fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them. 8

But Noah found favour in the eyes of Jehovah. 9 This is the history of

Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect amongst his generations: Noah

walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and

Japheth. 11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was full

of violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was

corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth. 13 And God said

to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of

violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14

Make thyself an ark of gopher wood: [with] cells shalt thou make the ark;

and pitch it inside and outside with pitch. 15 And thus shalt thou make it:

let the length of the ark be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty

cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16 A light shalt thou make to the

ark; and to a cubit high shalt thou finish it above. And the door of the ark

shalt thou set in its side: [with] a lower, second, and third [story] shalt

thou make it. 17 For I, behold, I bring a flood of waters on the earth, to

destroy all flesh under the heavens in which is the breath of life:

Chapter 5

1 This is the book of Adam`s generations. In the day that God created

man, in the likeness of God made he him. 2 Male and female created he

them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when

they were created. 3 And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and

Genesis

Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the

tree of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed

be the ground on thy account; with toil shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of

thy life; 18 and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat

the herb of the field. 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until

thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art;

and unto dust shalt thou return. 20 And Man called his wife`s name Eve;

because she is the mother of all living. 21 And Jehovah Elohim made

Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them. 22 And Jehovah

Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and

evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of

life, and eat, and live for ever ...! 23 Therefore Jehovah Elohim sent him

forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

24 And he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the

flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way

to the tree of life.

Genesis

resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for

the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took

her, and brought her to him into the ark. 10 And he waited yet other

seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. 11 And the

dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf

plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the

earth. 12 And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove;

but she returned no more to him. 13 And it came to pass in the six

hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that

the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the

covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground

was dried. 14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the

month, the earth was dry. 15 And God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 Go out

of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons` wives with

thee. 17 Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh,

fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the

earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply

on the earth. 18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his

sons` wives with him. 19 All the animals, all the creeping things, and all

the fowl -- everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out

of the ark. 20 And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean

animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.

21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart,

I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the

thought of Man`s heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite

every living thing, as I have done. 22 Henceforth, all the days of the

earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and

winter, and day and night, shall not cease.

Chapter 7

1 And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for

thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of all clean

beasts thou shalt take to thee by sevens, a male and its female; but of

the beasts that are not clean two, a male and its female. 3 Also of the

fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female; to keep seed alive on

the face of all the earth. 4 For in yet seven days I will cause it to rain on

the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living being which I have

made will I destroy from the ground. 5 And Noah did according to all that

Jehovah had commanded him. 6 And Noah was six hundred years old

when the flood of waters was on the earth. 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. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not

clean, and of fowl, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 9 there

came two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had

commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days that the

waters of the flood were on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of

Noah`s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month,

on that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and

the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the pour of rain was on the

earth forty days and forty nights. 13 On the same day went 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; 14 they, and every

beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping

thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and all fowl after its kind --

every bird of every wing. 15 And they went to Noah, into the ark, two and

two of all flesh, in which was the breath of life. 16 And they that came,

came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And

Jehovah shut him in. 17 And the flood was forty days on the earth. And

the waters increased, and bore up the ark; and it was lifted up above the

earth. 18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth;

and the ark went on the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed

exceedingly on the earth; and all the high mountains that are under all

the heavens were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward the waters

prevailed; and the mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh that moved

on the earth expired, fowl as well as cattle, and beasts, and all crawling

things which crawl on the earth, and all mankind: 22 everything which

had in its nostrils the breath of life, of all that was on the dry [land], died.

23 And every living being was destroyed that was on the ground, both

man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowl of the heavens; and they

were destroyed from the earth. And Noah alone remained, and what was

with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed on the earth a hundred

and fifty days.

Chapter 9

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and

multiply, and fill the earth. 2 And let the fear of you and the dread of you

be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens:

upon all that moveth [on] the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea:

into your hand are they delivered. 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall

be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything. 4 Only, the flesh

with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat. 5 And indeed your blood, [the

blood] of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I

require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each [the blood] of his

brother, will I require the life of Man. 6 Whoso sheddeth Man`s blood, by

Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.

7 And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.

8 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9 And I,

behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10 and with every living soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and

all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark --

every animal of the earth. 11 And I establish my covenant with you,

neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and

henceforth there shall be no flood to destroy the earth. 12 And God said,

This is the sign of the covenant that I set between me and you and every

living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations: 13 I set my bow in

the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the

earth. 14 And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth,

that the bow shall be seen in the cloud, 15 and I will remember my

covenant which is between me and you and every living soul of all flesh;

and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.

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 soul

of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17 And God said to Noah, This is the

sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh

that is upon the earth. 18 And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark

were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.

19 These three are the sons of Noah; and from these was [the

population of] the whole earth spread abroad. 20 And Noah began [to be]

a husbandman, and planted a vineyard. 21 And he drank of the wine,

and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in his tent. 22 And Ham the

father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two

brethren outside. 23 And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and

both laid [it] upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the

nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they

Chapter 8

1 And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that

were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth,

and the waters subsided. 2 And the fountains of the deep and the

windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was

stopped. 3 And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and

in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated. 4 And the

ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month,

on the mountains of Ararat. 5 And the waters abated continually until the

tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the tops of

the mountains were seen. 6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days

that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. 7 And he

sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters

were dried from the earth. 8 And he sent out the dove from him, to see if

the waters had become low on the ground. 9 But the dove found no

everything that is on the earth shall expire. 18 But with thee will I

establish my covenant; and thou shalt go into the ark, thou, and thy

sons, and thy wife, and thy sons` wives with thee. 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. 20 Of fowl after

their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the

ground after its kind, two of each shall go in to thee, to keep [them] alive.

21 And take thou of all food that is eaten, and gather [it] to thee, that it

may be for food for thee and for them. 22 And Noah did it; according to all

that God had commanded him, so did he.

them thence over the face of the whole earth. 10 These are the

generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot

Arphaxad two years after the flood. 11 And Shem lived after he had

begotten Arphaxad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

12 And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Shelah. 13 And

Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Shelah four hundred and three

years, and begot sons and daughters. 14 And Shelah lived thirty years,

and begot Eber. 15 And Shelah lived after he had begotten Eber four

hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. 16 And Eber

lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg. 17 And Eber lived after he had

begotten Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and

daughters. 18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu. 19 And Peleg

lived after he had begotten Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot

sons and daughters. 20 And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug.

21 And Reu lived after he had begotten Serug two hundred and seven

years, and begot sons and daughters. 22 And Serug lived thirty years,

and begot Nahor. 23 And Serug lived after he had begotten Nahor two

hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. 24 And Nahor lived

twenty-nine years, and begot Terah. 25 And Nahor lived after he had

begotten Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and

daughters. 26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor,

and Haran. 27 And these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot

Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot. 28 And Haran died

before the face of his father Terah in the land of his nativity at Ur of the

Chaldeans. 29 And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram`s

wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor`s wife, Milcah, a daughter of

Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. 30 And Sarai was

barren: she had no child. 31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the

son of Haran his son`s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son

Abram`s wife; and they went forth together out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to

go into the land of Canaan, and came as far as Haran, and dwelt there.

32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah

died in Haran.

Chapter 10

1 And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and

Japheth; and to them were sons born after the flood. 2 The sons of

Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and

Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath,

and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim,

and Dodanim. 5 From these came the distribution of the isles of the

nations, according to their lands, every one after his tongue, after their

families, in their nations. 6 And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and

Phut, and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and

Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba

and Dedan. 8 And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the

earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As

Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah! 10 And the beginning of his

kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of

Shinar. 11 From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and

Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah, 12 and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this

is the great city. 13 -- And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim,

and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim, 14 and the Pathrusim, and the

Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim. 15 --

And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth, 16 and the Jebusite,

and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, 17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite,

and the Sinite, 18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite.

And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves

abroad. 19 And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one

goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and

Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, after

their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. 21 And

to Shem -- to him also were [sons] born; he is the father of all the sons of

Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. 22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and

Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 23 And the sons of Aram:

Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 -- And Arphaxad begot Shelah;

and Shelah begot Eber. 25 And to 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. 26 And Joktan begot Almodad, and

Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and

Diklah, 28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 29 and Ophir, and

Havilah, and Jobab: all these were sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwelling

was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain. 31

These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in

their lands, after their nations. 32 These are the families of the sons of

Noah, after their generations, in their nations. And from these came the

distribution of the nations on the earth after the flood.

Chapter 12

1 And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy

kindred, and from thy father`s house, to the land that I will shew thee. 2

And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy

name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. 3 And I will bless them that

bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families

of the earth be blessed. 4 And Abram departed as Jehovah had said to

him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when

he departed out of Haran. 5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his

brother`s son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the

souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the

land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. 6 And Abram

passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh.

And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 And Jehovah appeared to

Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an

altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him. 8 And he removed thence

towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having]

Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an

altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah. 9 And Abram

moved onward, going on still toward the south. 10 And there was a

famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for

the famine was grievous in the land. 11 And it came to pass when he

was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold

now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon. 12 And it will come

to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife;

and they will slay me, and save thee alive. 13 Say, I pray thee, thou art

my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may

live because of thee. 14 And it came to pass when Abram came into

Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 15

And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and

the woman was taken into Pharaoh`s house. 16 And he treated Abram

well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and

bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels. 17 And

Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of

Sarai Abram`s wife. 18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this

thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

Chapter 11

1 And the whole earth had one language, and the same words. 2 And it

came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in

the land of Shinar, and dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another,

Come on, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly. And they had

brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, Come

on, let us build ourselves a city and a tower, the top of which [may reach]

to the heavens; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered

over the face of the whole earth. 5 And Jehovah came down to see the

city and the tower which the children of men built. 6 And Jehovah said,

Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they

begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate

doing. 7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that

they may not understand one another`s speech. 8 And Jehovah scattered

them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building

the city. 9 Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there

confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered

Genesis

saw not their father`s nakedness. 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and

learned what his youngest son had done to him. 25 And he said, Cursed

be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren. 26 And

he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his

bondman. 27 Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of

Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman. 28 And Noah lived after the flood

three hundred and fifty years. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine

hundred and fifty years; and he died.

Genesis

night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them as far as

Hobah, which is to the left of Damascus. 16 And he brought back all the

property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the

women also, and the people. 17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet

him after he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer, and the kings that

were with him, into the valley of Shaveh, which is the king`s valley. 18

And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was

priest of the Most High ùGod. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed

be Abram of the Most High ùGod, possessor of heavens and earth. 20

And blessed be the Most High ùGod, who has delivered thine enemies

into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all. 21 And the king of Sodom

said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself. 22

And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to

Jehovah, the Most High ùGod, possessor of heavens and earth, 23 if

from a thread even to a sandal-thong, yes, if of all that is thine, I take

[anything] ...; that thou mayest not say, I have made Abram rich; 24 save

only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men

that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.

Chapter 13

1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had,

and Lot with him, towards the south. 2 And Abram was very rich in cattle,

in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journeys from the south as far

as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning,

between Bethel and Ai; 4 to the place of the altar that he had made there

at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah. 5 And Lot

also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents. 6 And the

land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their

property was great; and they could not dwell together. 7 And there was

strife between the herdsmen of Abram`s cattle and the herdsmen of

Lot`s cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in

the land. 8 And Abram said to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention

between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for

we are brethren. 9 Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I

pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the

right, then I will take the left. 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all

the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah

had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like

the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar. 11 And Lot chose for himself all

the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they

separated the one from the other: 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan;

and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as

Sodom. 13 And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners

before Jehovah. 14 And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had

separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the

place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and

westward; 15 for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy

seed for ever. 16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so

that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be

numbered. 17 Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it

and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee. 18 Then Abram

moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are

in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.

Chapter 15

1 After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision,

saying, Fear not, Abram; I am thy shield, thy exceeding great reward. 2

And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me? seeing I go

childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus. 3

And Abram said, Lo, to me thou hast given no seed, and behold, a son

of my house will be mine heir. 4 And behold, the word of Jehovah [came]

to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir, but he that will come forth out

of thy body shall be thine heir. 5 And he led him out, and said, Look now

toward the heavens, and number the stars, if thou be able to number

them. And he said to him, So shall thy seed be! 6 And he believed

Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him [as] righteousness. 7 And he said to

him, I am Jehovah who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give

thee this land to possess it. 8 And he said, Lord Jehovah, how shall I

know that I shall possess it? 9 And he said to him, Take me a heifer of

three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three

years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon. 10 And he took all

these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the half of each opposite

its fellow; but the birds he did not divide. 11 And the birds of prey came

down on the carcases; and Abram scared them away. 12 And as the sun

was just going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, a

horror, a great darkness, fell upon him. 13 And he said to Abram, Know

assuredly that thy seed will be a sojourner in a land [that is] not theirs,

and they shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.

14 But also that nation which they shall serve I will judge; and afterwards

they shall come out with great property. 15 And thou shalt go to thy

fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 16 And [in the]

fourth generation they shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the

Amorites is not yet full. 17 And it came to pass when the sun had gone

down, and it was dark, that behold, there was a smoking furnace, and a

flame of fire which passed between those pieces. 18 On the same day

Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed I give this

land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates; 19 the

Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 20 and the Hittites, and

the Perizzites, and the Rephaim, 21 and the Amorites, and the

Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Chapter 14

1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel the king of Shinar, Arioch

the king of El-lasar, Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of

nations, 2 [that] they made war with Bera the king of Sodom, and with

Birsha the king of Gomorrah, Shinab the king of Admah, and Shemeber

the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. 3 All these were

joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. 4 Twelve years had

they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 5

And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were

with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in

Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kirjathaim, 6 and the Horites on their

mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness. 7 And they returned,

and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of

the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt at Hazazon-Tamar. 8

And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of

Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar,

went out, and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim, 9 with

Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations, and

Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar -- four kings

with the five. 10 And the vale of Siddim was full of pits of asphalt. And

the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that

remained fled to the mountain. 11 And they took all the property of

Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed. 12 And they

took Lot and his property, Abram`s brother`s son, and departed. For he

dwelt in Sodom. 13 And one who had escaped came and told Abram the

Hebrew. And he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of

Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. And these were Abram`s allies. 14 And

Abram heard that his brother was taken captive; and he led out his

trained [servants], born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and

pursued [them] as far as Dan. 15 And he divided himself against them by

Chapter 16

1 And Sarai Abram`s wife did not bear him [children]. And she had an

Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar. 2 And Sarai said to

Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has shut me up, that I do not bear. Go in, I

pray thee, to my maidservant: it may be that I shall be built up by her.

And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. 3 And Sarai Abram`s wife

took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of ten years that

Abram had dwelt in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband

Abram, as his wife. 4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And

when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was lightly

esteemed in her eyes. 5 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on thee!

I have given my maidservant into thy bosom; and now she sees that she

has conceived, I am lightly esteemed in her eyes. Jehovah judge

between me and thee! 6 And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy

Genesis

19 Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife.

And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away. 20 And

Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away,

and his wife, and all that he had.
