1. Genesis

Genesis

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, 6 and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered

the whole face of the ground. 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. 8 And Jehovah God planteth a

garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath

formed; 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. 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]; 11 the name of the one [is]

Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah

where the gold [is], 12 and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the

bdolach and the shoham stone; 13 and the name of the second river [is]

Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush; 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. 15 And Jehovah God taketh the

man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to

keep it. 16 And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, `Of

every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat; 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.` 18 And Jehovah God saith, `Not good

for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper -- as his

counterpart.` 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. 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. 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. 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; 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; 24 therefore doth a

man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and

they have become one flesh. 25 And they are both of them naked, the

man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.

Chapter 1

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.

Chapter 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?` 2 And the

woman saith unto the serpent, `Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we

do eat, 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.` 4 And the

serpent saith unto the woman, `Dying, ye do not die, 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.` 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; 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. 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. 9 And

Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, `Where [art] thou?`

10 and he saith, `Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid,

for I am naked, and I hide myself.` 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?` 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.` 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.` 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; 15 and enmity I put between thee and the

Chapter 2

1 And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host; 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. 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. 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; 5 and no shrub of the

Genesis

woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee -- the

head, and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.` 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.` 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, 18 and

thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the

herb of the field; 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.` 20 And the man calleth his wife`s

name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living. 21 And Jehovah God

doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe

them. 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,` --

23 Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the

ground from which he hath been taken; 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.

Chapter 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; 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. 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. 4 And the days of Adam after

his begetting Seth are eight hundred years, and he begetteth sons and

daughters. 5 And all the days of Adam which he lived are nine hundred

and thirty years, and he dieth. 6 And Seth liveth an hundred and five

years, and begetteth Enos. 7 And Seth liveth after his begetting Enos

eight hundred and seven years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 8

And all the days of Seth are nine hundred and twelve years, and he

dieth. 9 And Enos liveth ninety years, and begetteth Cainan. 10 And Enos

liveth after his begetting Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and

begetteth sons and daughters. 11 And all the days of Enos are nine

hundred and five years, and he dieth. 12 And Cainan liveth seventy

years, and begetteth Mahalaleel. 13 And Cainan liveth after his begetting

Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begetteth sons and

daughters. 14 And all the days of Cainan are nine hundred and ten years,

and he dieth. 15 And Mahalaleel liveth five and sixty years, and begetteth

Jared. 16 And Mahalaleel liveth after his begetting Jared eight hundred

and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 17 And all the days

of Mahalaleel are eight hundred and ninety and five years, and he dieth.

18 And Jared liveth an hundred and sixty and two years, and begetteth

Enoch. 19 And Jared liveth after his begetting Enoch eight hundred

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

are nine hundred and sixty and two years, and he dieth. 21 And Enoch

liveth five and sixty years, and begetteth Methuselah. 22 And Enoch

walketh habitually with God after his begetting Methuselah three hundred

years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 23 And all the days of Enoch

are three hundred and sixty and five years. 24 And Enoch walketh

habitually with God, and he is not, for God hath taken him. 25 And

Methuselah liveth an hundred and eighty and seven years, and begetteth

Lamech. 26 And Methuselah liveth after his begetting Lamech seven

hundred and eighty and two years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

27 And all the days of Methuselah are nine hundred and sixty and nine

years, and he dieth. 28 And Lamech liveth an hundred and eighty and

two years, and begetteth a son, 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.`

30 And Lamech liveth after his begetting Noah five hundred and ninety

and five years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 31 And all the days of

Lamech are seven hundred and seventy and seven years, and he dieth.

32 And Noah is a son of five hundred years, and Noah begetteth Shem,

Ham, and Japheth.

Chapter 4

1 And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain,

and saith, `I have gotten a man by Jehovah;` 2 and she addeth to bear

his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been

servant of the ground. 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 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, 5 and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it

is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen. 6 And Jehovah

saith unto Cain, `Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy

countenance fallen? 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.` 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. 9

And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Where [is] Abel thy brother?` and he

saith, `I have not known; my brother`s keeper -- I?` 10 And He saith,

`What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother`s blood is crying unto Me

from the ground; 11 and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which

hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy

hand; 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.` 13

And Cain saith unto Jehovah, `Greater is my punishment than to be

borne; 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.` 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. 16 And Cain goeth out from before

Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden; 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. 18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath

begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and

Methusael hath begotten Lamech. 19 And Lamech taketh to himself two

wives, the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah. 20

And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents

and purchased possessions; 21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he

hath been father of every one handling harp and organ. 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. 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; 24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy

and sevenfold.` 25 And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a

son, and calleth his name Seth, `for God hath appointed for me another

Chapter 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, 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. 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. 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. 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 and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and

He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart. 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.` 8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of

Jehovah. 9 These [are] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; perfect

he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked

seed instead of Abel:` for Cain had slain him. 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.

Genesis

habitually. 10 And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with]

violence. 12 And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for

all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth. 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.

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; 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; 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. 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.

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; 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. 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. 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.` 22 And Noah doth according to all that God

hath commanded him; so hath he done.

Chapter 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, 2 and closed are the fountains of the deep

and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the

heavens. 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. 4 And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth

day of the month, on mountains of Ararat; 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. 6 And it

cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window

of the ark which he made, 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 And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the

waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground, 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. 10 And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send

forth the dove from the ark; 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. 12 And he stayeth yet

other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn

back unto him any more. 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.

14 And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the

month, the earth hath become dry. 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; 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; 17 and they have teemed in

the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.` 18 And

Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons` wives with

him; 19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every

creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the

ark. 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; 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;

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.`

Chapter 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; 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;

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; 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.`

5 And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him: 6

and Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath

been upon the earth. 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; 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, 9 two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male

and a female, as God hath commanded Noah. 10 And it cometh to pass,

after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on the

earth. 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, 12 and the shower is on the earth forty days

and forty nights. 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; 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. 15 And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by

two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit; 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. 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; 18 and the waters are mighty, and multiply

exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.

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; 20

fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the

mountains are covered; 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; 22

all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit -- of all that [is] in the dry

land -- have died. 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

Chapter 9

1 And God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, `Be fruitful,

and multiply, and fill the earth; 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. 3 Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as

the green herb I have given to you the whole; 4 only flesh in its life -- its

blood -- ye do not eat. 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; 6 whoso

sheddeth man`s blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God

hath He made man. 7 And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth,

and multiply in it.` 8 And God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons

with him, saying, 9 `And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you,

and with your seed after you, 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. 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.` 12 And God saith, `This is a token of the

Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the ark; 24 and the waters

are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.

Genesis

covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living

creature that [is] with you, to generations age-during; 13 My bow I have

given in the cloud, and it hath been for a token of a covenant between

Me and the earth; 14 and it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud

over the earth) that the bow hath been seen in the cloud, 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; 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.` 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.` 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. 19 These three [are] sons of Noah, and

from these hath all the earth been overspread. 20 And Noah remaineth a

man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard, 21 and drinketh of the wine,

and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent. 22 And

Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth

to his two brethren without. 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. 24 And Noah awaketh

from his wine, and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him,

25 and saith: `Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his

brethren.` 26 And he saith: `Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And

Canaan is servant to him. 27 God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he

dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.` 28 And Noah

liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years; 29 and all the days

of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth.

Chapter 11

1 And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words, 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; 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. 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.` 5

And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons

of men have builded; 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. 7 Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so

that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.` 8

And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the

earth, and they cease to build the city; 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. 10 These [are] births of Shem: Shem [is] a son of an hundred

years, and begetteth Arphaxad two years after the deluge. 11 And Shem

liveth after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begetteth

sons and daughters. 12 And Arphaxad hath lived five and thirty years,

and begetteth Salah. 13 And Arphaxad liveth after his begetting Salah

four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 14

And Salah hath lived thirty years, and begetteth Eber. 15 And Salah liveth

after his begetting Eber four hundred and three years, and begetteth

sons and daughters. 16 And Eber liveth four and thirty years, and

begetteth Peleg. 17 And Eber liveth after his begetting Peleg four

hundred and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 18 And

Peleg liveth thirty years, and begetteth Reu. 19 And Peleg liveth after his

begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begetteth sons and

daughters. 20 And Reu liveth two and thirty years, and begetteth Serug.

21 And Reu liveth after his begetting Serug two hundred and seven

years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 22 And Serug liveth thirty

years, and begetteth Nahor. 23 And Serug liveth after his begetting

Nahor two hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 24 And

Nahor liveth nine and twenty years, and begetteth Terah. 25 And Nahor

liveth after his begetting Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and

begetteth sons and daughters. 26 And Terah liveth seventy years, and

begetteth Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 27 And these [are] births of Terah:

Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath

begotten Lot; 28 and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in

the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees. 29 And Abram and Nahor take

to themselves wives; the name of Abram`s wife [is] Sarai, and the name

of Nahor`s wife [is] Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and

father of Iscah. 30 And Sarai is barren -- she hath no child. 31 And Terah

taketh Abram his son, and Lot, son of Haran, his son`s son, and Sarai

his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, and they go out with them

from Ur of the Chaldees, to go towards the land of Canaan; and they

come unto Charan, and dwell there. 32 And the days of Terah are two

hundred and five years, and Terah dieth in Charan.

Chapter 10

1 And these [are] births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth;

and born to them are sons after the deluge. 2 `Sons of Japheth [are]

Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech,

and Tiras. 3 And sons of Gomer [are] Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and

Togarmah. 4 And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and

Dodanim. 5 By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their

lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations. 6 And sons of

Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 7 And sons of

Cush [are] Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and

Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah [are] Sheba and Dedan. 8 And Cush

hath begotten Nimrod; 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 And the first part of his

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

Shinar; 11 from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth

Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah, 12 and Resen,

between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city. 13 And Mitzraim hath

begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the

Naphtuhim, 14 and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have

come out Philistim,) and the Caphtorim. 15 And Canaan hath begotten

Sidon his first-born, 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 have

the families of the Canaanite been scattered. 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. 20 These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their

tongues, in their lands, in their nations. 21 As to Shem, father of all sons

of Eber, brother of Japheth the elder, he hath also begotten: 22 Sons of

Shem [are] Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 23

And sons of Aram [are] Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 And

Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten Eber. 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. 26

And Joktan hath begotten 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

[are] sons of Joktan; 30 and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] thy coming

towards Sephar, a mount of the east. 31 These [are] sons of Shem, by

Chapter 12

1 And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy land, and from

thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew

thee. 2 And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and

make thy name great; and be thou a blessing. 3 And I bless those

blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in

thee have been all families of the ground.` 4 And Abram goeth on, as

Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and Lot goeth with him, and Abram [is] a

son of five and seventy years in his going out from Charan. 5 And Abram

taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother`s son, and all their substance

that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in

Charan; and they go out to go towards the land of Canaan; and they

come in to the land of Canaan. 6 And Abram passeth over into the land,

[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.

Genesis

the king of Bela, which [is] Zoar. 3 All these have been joined together

unto the valley of Siddim, which [is] the Salt Sea; 4 twelve years they

served Chedorlaomer, and the thirteenth year they rebelled. 5 And in the

fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings who [are] with him,

and they smite the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in

Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim, 6 and the Horites in their

mount Seir, unto El-Paran, which [is] by the wilderness; 7 and they turn

back and come in unto En-Mishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and smite the

whole field of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who is dwelling in

Hazezon-Tamar. 8 And the king of Sodom goeth out, and the king of

Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king

of Bela, which [is] Zoar; and they set the battle in array with them in the

valley of Siddim, 9 with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of

Goyim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four

kings with the five. 10 And the valley of Siddim [is] full of bitumen-pits;

and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah flee, and fall there, and those left

have fled to the mountain. 11 And they take the whole substance of

Sodom and Gomorrah, and the whole of their food, and go away; 12 and

they take Lot, Abram`s brother`s son (seeing he is dwelling in Sodom),

and his substance, and go away. 13 And one who is escaping cometh

and declareth to Abram the Hebrew, and he is dwelling among the oaks

of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, and they

[are] Abram`s allies. 14 And Abram heareth that his brother hath been

taken captive, and he draweth out his trained domestics, three hundred

and eighteen, and pursueth unto Dan. 15 And he divideth himself against

them by night, he and his servants, and smiteth them, and pursueth

them unto Hobah, which [is] at the left of Damascus; 16 and he bringeth

back the whole of the substance, and also Lot his brother and his

substance hath he brought back, and also the women and the people. 17

And the king of Sodom goeth out to meet him (after his turning back from

the smiting of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings who [are] with him), unto

the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king`s valley. 18 And Melchizedek

king of Salem hath brought out bread and wine, and he [is] priest of God

Most High; 19 and he blesseth him, and saith, `Blessed [is] Abram to God

Most High, possessing heaven and earth; 20 and blessed [is] God Most

High, who hath delivered thine adversaries into thy hand;` and he giveth

to him a tenth of all. 21 And the king of Sodom saith unto Abram, `Give

to me the persons, and the substance take to thyself,` 22 and Abram

saith unto the king of Sodom, `I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah,

God Most High, possessing heaven and earth -- 23 from a thread even

unto a shoe-latchet I take not of anything which thou hast, that thou say

not, I -- I have made Abram rich; 24 save only that which the young men

have eaten, and the portion of the men who have gone with me -- Aner,

Eshcol, and Mamre -- they take their portion.`

Chapter 13

1 And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath,

and Lot with him) towards the south; 2 and Abram [is] exceedingly

wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he goeth on his journeyings

from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been

at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai -- 4 unto the place of the

altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in

the name of Jehovah. 5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there

hath been sheep and oxen and tents; 6 and the land hath not suffered

them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they

have not been able to dwell together; 7 and there is a strife between

those feeding Abram`s cattle and those feeding Lot`s cattle; and the

Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] then dwelling in the land. 8 And Abram

saith unto Lot, `Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee,

and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we [are] men --

brethren. 9 Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from

me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.`

10 And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan

that it [is] all a watered country (before Jehovah`s destroying Sodom and

Gomorrah, as Jehovah`s garden, as the land of Egypt,) in thy coming

toward Zoar, 11 and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the

Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted -- a man

from his companion; 12 Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot

hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom; 13 and the

men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly. 14

And Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot`s being parted from him, `Lift

up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and look from the place where thou [art],

northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward; 15 for the

whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed

-- to the age. 16 And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if

one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is numbered;

17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its

breadth, for to thee I give it.` 18 And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and

dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth

there an altar to Jehovah.

Chapter 15

1 After these things hath the word of Jehovah been unto Abram in a

vision, saying, `Fear not, Abram, I [am] a shield to thee, thy reward [is]

exceeding great.` 2 And Abram saith, `Lord Jehovah, what dost Thou

give to me, and I am going childless? and an acquired son in my house

is Demmesek Eliezer.` 3 And Abram saith, `Lo, to me Thou hast not

given seed, and lo, a domestic doth heir me.` 4 And lo, the word of

Jehovah [is] unto him, saying, `This [one] doth not heir thee; but he who

cometh out from thy bowels, he doth heir thee;` 5 and He bringeth him

out without, and saith, `Look attentively, I pray thee, towards the

heavens, and count the stars, if thou art able to count them;` and He

saith to him, `Thus is thy seed.` 6 And he hath believed in Jehovah, and

He reckoneth it to him -- righteousness. 7 And He saith unto him, `I [am]

Jehovah who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give to thee

this land to possess it;` 8 and he saith, `Lord Jehovah, whereby do I

know that I possess it?` 9 And He saith unto him, `Take for Me a heifer

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

and a turtle-dove, and a young bird;` 10 and he taketh to him all these,

and separateth them in the midst, and putteth each piece over against its

fellow, but the bird he hath not divided; 11 and the ravenous birds come

down upon the carcases, and Abram causeth them to turn back. 12 And

the sun is about to go in, and deep sleep hath fallen upon Abram, and lo,

a terror of great darkness is falling upon him; 13 and He saith to Abram,

`knowing -- know that thy seed is a sojourner in a land not theirs, and

they have served them, and they have afflicted them four hundred years,

Chapter 14

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

king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim, 2

they have made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of

Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboim, and

Genesis

unto the place Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is]

then in the land. 7 And Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith, `To

thy seed I give this land;` and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, who

hath appeared unto him. 8 And he removeth from thence towards a

mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at

the west, and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah,

and preacheth in the name of Jehovah. 9 And Abram journeyeth, going

on and journeying towards the south. 10 And there is a famine in the

land, and Abram goeth down towards Egypt to sojourn there, for the

famine [is] grievous in the land; 11 and it cometh to pass as he hath

drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, `Lo, I pray

thee, I have known that thou [art] a woman of beautiful appearance; 12

and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have

said, `This [is] his wife,` and they have slain me, and thee they keep

alive: 13 say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister, so that it is well with me

because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.` 14 And it cometh to

pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the

woman that she [is] exceeding fair; 15 and princes of Pharaoh see her,

and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh`s

house; 16 and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath

sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and

she-asses, and camels. 17 And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his

house -- great plagues -- for the matter of Sarai, Abram`s wife. 18 And

Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, `What [is] this thou hast done to

me? why hast thou not declared to me that she [is] thy wife? 19 Why

hast thou said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and

now, lo, thy wife, take and go.` 20 And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning

him, and they send him away, and his wife, an all that he hath.
