In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness {was} upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that {it was} good: and God divided the light from the darkness. {the light from...: Heb. between the light and between the darkness}

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. {And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. {firmament: Heb. expansion}

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which {were} under the firmament from the waters which {were} above the firmament: and it was so.

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. {And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry {land} appear: and it was so.

And God called the dry {land} Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that {it was} good.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, {and} the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed {is} in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. {grass: Heb. tender grass}

And the earth brought forth grass, {and} herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed {was} in itself, after his kind: and God saw that {it was} good.

And the evening and the morning were the third day. {And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: {the day...: Heb. between the day and between the night}

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: {he made} the stars also. {to rule the day...: Heb. for the rule of the day, etc.}

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that {it was} good.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. {And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl {that} may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. {moving: or, creeping} {life: Heb. soul} {fowl...: Heb. let fowl fly} {open...: Heb. face of the firmament of heaven}

And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that {it was} good.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. {And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that {it was} good.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So God created man in his {own} image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. {moveth: Heb. creepeth}

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which {is} upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which {is} the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. {bearing...: Heb. seeding seed} {yielding...: Heb. seeding seed}

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein {there is} life, {I have given} every green herb for meat: and it was so. {life: Heb. a living soul}

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, {it was} very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. {And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

And the LORD God said, {It is} not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. {meet...: Heb. as before him}

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. {the man: or, Adam}

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

The name of the first {is} Pison: that {is} it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where {there is} gold;

And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought {them} unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that {was} the name thereof. {Adam: or, the man}

And the gold of that land {is} good: there {is} bdellium and the onyx stone.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

And the name of the second river {is} Gihon: the same {is} it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. {Ethiopia: Heb. Cush}

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. {created...: Heb. created to make}

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. {made: Heb. builded}

And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

And the name of the third river {is} Hiddekel: that {is} it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river {is} Euphrates. {toward...: or, eastward to Assyria}

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. {thou shalt surely...: Heb. dying thou shalt die}

And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. {gave: Heb. called}

And the LORD God formed man {of} the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. {of the dust...: Heb. dust of the ground}

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: {thou...: Heb. eating thou shalt eat}

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. {there...: or, a mist which went up from, etc.}

These {are} the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

And Adam said, This {is} now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. {Woman: Heb. Isha} {Man: Heb. Ish}

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and {there was} not a man to till the ground.

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. {Cain: that is, Gotten, or, Acquired}

And the LORD said unto Cain, Where {is} Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: {Am} I my brother's keeper?

But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment {is} greater than I can bear. {My...: or, Mine iniquity is greater than that it may be forgiven}

And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. {I have...: or, I would slay a man in my wound, etc.} {to my hurt: or, in my hurt}

And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. {Abel: Heb. Hebel} {a keeper: Heb. a feeder}

And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, {said she}, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. {Seth: Heb. Sheth: that is Appointed, or, Put}

And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: {flock: Heb. sheep, or, goats}

And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

And now {art} thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and {of such as have} cattle.

And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one {was} Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, {that} every one that findeth me shall slay me.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee {shall be} his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. {be accepted: or, have the excellency} {unto...: or, subject unto thee}

And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. {blood: Heb. bloods}

And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain {was} Naamah. {instructer: Heb. whetter}

And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. {Lamech: Heb. Lemech}

And his brother's name {was} Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. {in process...: Heb. at the end of days}

And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. {Enoch: Heb. Chanoch}

And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD. {Enos: Heb. Enosh} {to call...: or, to call themselves by the name of the Lord}

If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

Bring forth with thee every living thing that {is} with thee, of all flesh, {both} of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:

And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first {month}, the first {day} of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth {was} an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, {and} whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. {kinds: Heb. families}

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that {was} with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;

But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters {were} on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. {pulled...: Heb. caused her to come}
