<ol>
<li><span>In the beginning God created heaven, and
earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon
the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the
waters.</span></li>
<li><span>And God said: Be light made. And light was
made.</span></li>
<li><span>And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided
the light from the darkness.</span></li>
<li><span>And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and
there was evening and morning one day.</span></li>
<li><span>And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the
waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.</span></li>
<li><span>And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that
were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament,
and it was so.</span></li>
<li><span>And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and
morning were the second day.</span></li>
<li><span>God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven,
be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear.
And it was so done.</span></li>
<li><span>And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering
together of the waters, he called Seas. And God saw that it was
good.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb,
and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its
kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so
done.</span></li>
<li><span>And the earth brought forth the green herb, and such as
yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth
fruit having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that
it was good.</span></li>
<li><span>And the evening and the morning were the third
day.</span></li>
<li><span>And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament
of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for
signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:</span></li>
<li><span>To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light
upon the earth. And it was so done.</span></li>
<li><span>And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule
the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the
stars.</span></li>
<li><span>And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon
the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And to rule the day and the night, and to divide the
light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.</span></li>
<li><span>And the evening and morning were the fourth
day.</span></li>
<li><span>God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping
creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth
under the firmament of heaven.</span></li>
<li><span>And God created the great whales, and every living and
moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their
kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind. And God saw
that it was good.</span></li>
<li><span>And he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and
fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon
the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And the evening and morning were the fifth
day.</span></li>
<li><span>And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living
creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the
earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.</span></li>
<li><span>And God made the beasts of the earth according to their
kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after
its kind. And God saw that it was good.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness:
and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls
of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping
creature that moveth upon the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And God created man to his own image: to the image of God
he created him: male and female he created them.</span></li>
<li><span>And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and
fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea,
and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon
the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing
seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of
their own kind, to be your meat:</span></li>
<li><span>And to all the beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of
the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is
life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so
done.</span></li>
<li><span>And God saw all the things that he had made, and they
were very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth
day.</span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="chapter">
<div class="chaptertitle"><a name="2">Genesis 2</a></div>
<ol>
<li><span>So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the
furniture of them.</span></li>
<li><span>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 done.</span></li>
<li><span>And he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because in it he had rested from all his work which God created and
made.</span></li>
<li><span>These are the generations of the heaven and the earth,
when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the
heaven and the earth:</span></li>
<li><span>And every plant of the field before it spring up in the
earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew: for the Lord
God had not rained upon the earth; and there was not a man to till
the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>But a spring rose out the earth, watering all the surface
of the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth:
and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a
living soul.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from
the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had
formed.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God brought forth of the ground all manner
of trees, fair to behold, and pleasant to eat of: the tree of life
also in the midst of paradise: and the tree of knowledge of good
and evil.</span></li>
<li><span>And a river went out the place of pleasure to water
paradise, which from thence is divided into four heads.</span></li>
<li><span>The name of the one is Phison: that is it which
compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold
groweth.</span></li>
<li><span>And the gold of that land is very good: there is found
bdellium, and the onyx stone.</span></li>
<li><span>And the name of the second river is Gehon: the same is it
that compasseth all the land of Ethiopia</span></li>
<li><span>And the name of the third river is Tigris: the same
passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river is
Euphrates.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise
for pleasure, to dress it, and keep it.</span></li>
<li><span>And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise
thou shalt eat:</span></li>
<li><span>But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt
not eat. for in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt
die the death.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be
alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the
beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, brought them to
Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever Adam called any
living creature the same is its name.</span></li>
<li><span>And Adam called all the beasts by their names, and all
the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the field: but for Adam
there was not found a helper like himself.</span></li>
<li><span>Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and when
he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and filled up flesh
for it.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam
into a woman: and brought her to Adam.</span></li>
<li><span>And Adam said: This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of
my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of
man.</span></li>
<li><span>Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.</span></li>
<li><span>And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and
were not ashamed.</span></li>

<div class="chapter">
<div class="chaptertitle"><a name="3">Genesis 3</a></div>
<ol>
<li><span>Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of
the earth which the Lord God made. And he said to the woman: Why
hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of
paradise?</span></li>
<li><span>And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the
trees that are in paradise we do eat:</span></li>
<li><span>But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of
paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we
should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.</span></li>
<li><span>And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die
the death.</span></li>
<li><span>For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat
thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods,
knowing good and evil.</span></li>
<li><span>And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair
to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband who did
eat.</span></li>
<li><span>And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they
perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves,
and made themselves aprons.</span></li>
<li><span>And when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in
paradise at the afternoon air, Adam and his wife hid themselves
from the face of the Lord God, amidst the trees of
paradise.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art
thou?</span></li>
<li><span>And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was
afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast
naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded
thee that thou shouldst not eat?</span></li>
<li><span>And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my
companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done
this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did
eat.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast
done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and the beasts
of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou
eat all the days of thy life.</span></li>
<li><span>I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy
seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in
wait for her heel.</span></li>
<li><span>To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows,
and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and
thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion
over thee.</span></li>
<li><span>And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the
voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded
thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work;
with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy
life.</span></li>
<li><span>Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and
thou eat the herbs of the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou
return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou
art, and into dust thou shalt return.</span></li>
<li><span>And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was
the mother of all the living.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife, garments of
skins, and clothed them.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing
good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand,
and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for
ever.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of
pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken.</span></li>
<li><span>And he cast out Adam; and placed before the paradise of
pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep
the way of the tree of life.</span></li>

<li><span>And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought
forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.</span></li>
<li><span>And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel
was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.</span></li>
<li><span>And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered,
of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of
their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his
offerings.</span></li>
<li><span>But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain
was exceedingly angry, and his countenance fell.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is
thy countenance fallen?</span></li>
<li><span>If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? but if ill,
shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? but the lust
thereof shall be under thee, and thou shalt have dominion over
it.</span></li>
<li><span>And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth
abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his
brother Abel, and slew him.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And
he answered, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?</span></li>
<li><span>And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy
brother's blood crieth to me from the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth,
which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother
at thy hand,</span></li>
<li><span>When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its
fruit: a fugitive and vagabond shalt thou be upon the
earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than
that I may deserve pardon.</span></li>
<li><span>Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of
the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a
vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: everyone, therefore, that
findeth me, shall kill me.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not be so: but
whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the
Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill
him.</span></li>
<li><span>And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as
a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.</span></li>
<li><span>And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought
forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by
the name of his son Henoch.</span></li>
<li><span>And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and
Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:</span></li>
<li><span>Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the
name of the other was Sella.</span></li>
<li><span>And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such
as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.</span></li>
<li><span>And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of
them that play upon the harp and the organs.</span></li>
<li><span>Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer
and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of
Tubalcain was Noema.</span></li>
<li><span>And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sell: Hear my voice,
ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to
the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own
bruising.</span></li>
<li><span>Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for
Lamech seventy times sevenfold.</span></li>
<li><span>Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a
son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another
seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.</span></li>
<li><span>But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos;
this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.</span></li>

<li><span>And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth,
and daughters were born to them.</span></li>
<li><span>The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they
were fair, took themselves wives of all which they
chose.</span></li>
<li><span>And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever,
because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty
years.</span></li>
<li><span>Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after
the sons of God went in to the daughters of men and they brought
forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of
renown.</span></li>
<li><span>And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on
the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon
evil at all times,</span></li>
<li><span>It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And
being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart,</span></li>
<li><span>He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from
the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping
thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have
made them.</span></li>
<li><span>But Noe found grace before the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>These are the generations of Noe: Noe was a just and
perfect man in his generations, he walked with God.</span></li>
<li><span>And he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and
Japheth.\</span></li>
<li><span>And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled
with iniquity.</span></li>
<li><span>And when God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for
all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth,)</span></li>
<li><span>He said to Noe: The end of all flesh is come before me,
the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy
them with the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>Make thee an ark of timber planks: thou shalt make little
rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and
without.</span></li>
<li><span>And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall
be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the
height of it thirty cubits.</span></li>
<li><span>Thou shalt make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shalt
thou finish the top of it: and the door of the ark thou shalt set
in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shalt
thou make it.</span></li>
<li><span>Behold I will bring the waters of a great flood upon the
earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, under
heaven. All things that are in the earth shall be
consumed.</span></li>
<li><span>And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou
shalt enter into the ark, thou and thy sons, and thy wife, and the
wives of thy sons with thee.</span></li>
<li><span>And of every living creature of all flesh, thou shalt
bring two of each sort into the ark, that they may live with thee:
of the male sex, and the female.</span></li>
<li><span>Of fowls according to their kind, and of beasts in their
kind, and of every thing that creepeth on earth according to its
kind; two of every sort shall go in with thee, that they may
live.</span></li>
<li><span>Thou shalt take unto thee of all food that may be eaten,
and thou shalt lay it up with thee: and it shall be food for thee

<li><span>For yet a while, and after seven days, I will rain upon

him.</span></li>
<li><span>And he was six hundred years old, when the waters of the

<li><span>And of the beasts clean and unclean, and of fowls, and of
every thing that moveth upon the earth,</span></li>
<li><span>Two and two went in to Noe into the ark, male and female,

overflowed the earth.</span></li>

nights.</span></li>
<li><span>In the selfsame day Noe, and Sem, and Cham, and Japheth
his sons: his wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went
into the ark:</span></li>
<li><span>They and every beast according to its kind, and all the
cattle in their kind, and every thing that moveth upon the earth
according to its kind, and every fowl according to its kind, and
every fowl according to its kind, all birds, and all that

<li><span>Went in to Noe into the ark, two and two of all flesh,
wherein was the breath of life.</span></li>
<li><span>And they that went in, went in male and female of all
flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in on the
outside.</span></li>
<li><span>And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the
waters increased, and lifted up the ark on high from
earth.</span></li>
<li><span>For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the
face of the earth: and the ark was carried upon the
waters.</span></li>
<li><span>And the waters prevailed beyond measure upon the earth:
and all the high mountains under the whole heaven were
covered.</span></li>
<li><span>The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains
which it covered.</span></li>
<li><span>And all flesh was destroyed that moved upon the earth,
both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beasts, and of all creeping
things that creep upon the earth: and all men.</span></li>
<li><span>And all things wherein there is the breath of life on the
earth, died.</span></li>
<li><span>And he destroyed all the substance that was upon the
earth, from man to beast, and the creeping things and fowls of the
air: and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noe only remained,
and they that were with him in the ark.</span></li>
<li><span>And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and
fifty days.</span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="chapter">
<div class="chaptertitle"><a name="8">Genesis 8</a></div>
<ol>
<li><span>And God remembered Noe, and all the living creatures, and
all the cattle which were with him in the ark, and brought a wind
upon the earth, and the waters were abated.</span></li>
<li><span>The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of
heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was
restrained.</span></li>
<li><span>And the waters returned from off the earth going and
coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty
days.</span></li>
<li><span>And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and
twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of
Armenia.</span></li>
<li><span>And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth
month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops
of the mountains appeared.</span></li>
<li><span>And after that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the
window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a
raven:</span></li>
<li><span>Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were
dried up upon the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters
had now ceased upon the face of the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>But she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned
to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and
he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the
ark.</span></li>
<li><span>And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent
forth the dove out of the ark.</span></li>
<li><span>And she came to him in the evening, carrying a bough of
an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore
understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the
dove, which returned not any more unto him.</span></li>
<li><span>Therefore in the six hundreth and first year, the first
month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon
the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw
that the face of the earth was dried.</span></li>
<li><span>In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the
month, the earth was dried.</span></li>
<li><span>And God spoke to Noe, saying:</span></li>
<li><span>Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the
wives of thy sons with thee.</span></li>
<li><span>All livings things that are with thee of all flesh, as
well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon
the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increased
and multiply upon it.</span></li>
<li><span>So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives
of his sons with him.</span></li>
<li><span>And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things
that creep upon the earth, according to their kinds, went out of
the ark.</span></li>
<li><span>And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all
cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the
altar.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no
more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and
thought of man's heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore
I will no more destroy every living soul as I have
done.</span></li>
<li><span>All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and
heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not
cease.</span></li>

<li><span>Saving that flesh with blood you shall not
eat.</span></li>
<li><span>For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of
every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and
of his brother, will I require the life of man.</span></li>
<li><span>Whosoever shall shed man's blood, his blood shall be
shed: for man was made to the image of God.</span></li>
<li><span>But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth, and
fill it.</span></li>
<li><span>This also said God to Noe, and to his sons with
him,</span></li>
<li><span>Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with
your seed after you:</span></li>
<li><span>And with every living soul that is with you, as well in
all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth
out of the ark, and in all the beasts of the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh
shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither
shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste the
earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I
will give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with
you, for perpetual generations.</span></li>
<li><span>I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign
of a covenant between me, and between the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall
appear in the clouds:</span></li>
<li><span>And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every
living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters
of a flood to destroy all flesh.</span></li>
<li><span>And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it,
and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between
God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the
earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the
covenant which I have established between me and all flesh upon the
earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And the sons of Noe who came out of the ark, were Sem,
Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.</span></li>
<li><span>These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all
mankind spread over the whole earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And Noe, a husbandman, began to till the ground, and
planted a vineyard.</span></li>
<li><span>And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was
uncovered in his tent.</span></li>
<li><span>Which when Cham the father of Chaanan had seen, to wit,
that his father's nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two
brethren without.</span></li>
<li><span>But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and
going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their
faces were turned away, and they saw not their father's
nakedness.</span></li>
<li><span>And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what
his younger son had done to him,</span></li>
<li><span>He said: Cursed be Chaanan, a servant of servants, shall
he be unto his brethren.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan
his servant.</span></li>
<li><span>May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of
Sem, and Chanaan be his servant.</span></li>
<li><span>And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty
years:</span></li>
<li><span>And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty
years: and he died.</span></li>

<li><span>These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham,
and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the
flood.</span></li>
<li><span>The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and
Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.</span></li>
<li><span>And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and
Thogorma.</span></li>
<li><span>And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim, and
Dodanim.</span></li>
<li><span>By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in
their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families
in their nations.</span></li>
<li><span>And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and
Chanaan.</span></li>
<li><span>And the sons of Chus: Saba and Hevila, and Sabatha, and
Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and
Dadan.</span></li>
<li><span>Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on
earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a
proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the
Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach,
and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.</span></li>
<li><span>Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and
the streets of the city, and Chale.</span></li>
<li><span>Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great
city.</span></li>
<li><span>And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim,
Nepthuim,</span></li>
<li><span>And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the
Philistines, and the Capthorim.</span></li>
<li><span>And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the
Hethite,</span></li>
<li><span>And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the
Gergesite,</span></li>
<li><span>The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,</span></li>
<li><span>And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and
afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread
abroad.</span></li>
<li><span>And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to
Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and
Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.</span></li>
<li><span>These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and
tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.</span></li>
<li><span>Of Sem also, the father of all children of Heber, the
elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.</span></li>
<li><span>The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud,
and Aram.</span></li>
<li><span>The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether: and
Mess.</span></li>
<li><span>But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born
Heber.</span></li>
<li><span>And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was
Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his
brother's name Jectan.</span></li>
<li><span>Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth,
Jare,</span></li>
<li><span>And Anduram, and Uzal, and Decla,</span></li>
<li><span>And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,</span></li>
<li><span>And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab.</span></li>
<li><span>And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as
Sephar, a mountain in the east.</span></li>
<li><span>These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds
and tongues, and countries in their nations.</span></li>
<li><span>These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples
and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after
the flood.</span></li>

<li><span>And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same
speech.</span></li>
<li><span>And when they removed from the east, they found a plain
in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it.</span></li>
<li><span>And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make
brick, and bake them of stones, and slime instead of
mortar.</span></li>
<li><span>And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the
top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous
before we be scattered abroad into all lands.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower,
which the children of Adam were building.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one
tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off
from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed.</span></li>
<li><span>Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there may not
understand one another's speech.</span></li>
<li><span>And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all
lands, and they ceased to build the city.</span></li>
<li><span>And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because
there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from
thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all
countries.</span></li>
<li><span>These are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years
old when he begot Arphaxad, two years old when he begot Arphaxad,
two years after the flood.</span></li>
<li><span>And Sem lived after he begot Arphaxad, five hundred
years, and begot sons and daughters.</span></li>
<li><span>And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot
Sale.</span></li>
<li><span>And Arphaxad lived after he begot Sale, three hundred and
three years; and begot sons and daughters.</span></li>
<li><span>Sale also lived thirty years, and begot
Heber.</span></li>
<li><span>And Sale lived after he begot Heber, four hundred and
three years; and begot sons and daughters.</span></li>
<li><span>And Heber lived thirty-four years, and begot
Phaleg.</span></li>
<li><span>And Heber lived after he begot Phaleg, four hundred and
thirty years: and begot sons and daughters.</span></li>
<li><span>Phaleg also lived thirty years, and begot
Reu.</span></li>
<li><span>And Phaleg lived after he begot Reu, two hundred and nine
years, and begot sons and daughters.</span></li>
<li><span>And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot
Sarug.</span></li>
<li><span>And Reu lived after he begot Sarug, two hundred and seven
years, and begot sons and daughters.</span></li>
<li><span>And Sarug lived thirty years, and begot
Nachor.</span></li>
<li><span>And Sarug lived after he begot Nachor, two hundred years:
and begot sons and daughters.</span></li>
<li><span>And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begot
Thare.</span></li>
<li><span>And Nachor lived after he begot Thare, a hundred and
nineteen years: and begot sons and daughters.</span></li>
<li><span>And Thare lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and
Nachor, and Aran.</span></li>
<li><span>And these are the generations of Thare: Thare begot
Abram, Nachor, and Aran. And Aran begot Lot.</span></li>
<li><span>And Aran died before Thare his father, in the land of his
nativity in Ur of the Chaldees.</span></li>
<li><span>And Abram and Nachor married wives: the name of Abram's
wife was Sarai: and the name of Nachor's wife, Melcha, the daughter
of Aran, father of Melcha, and father of Jescha.</span></li>
<li><span>And Sarai was barren, and had no children.</span></li>
<li><span>And Thare took Abram, his son, and Lot the son of Aran,
his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, the wife of Abram his
son, and brought them out of Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the
land of Chanaan: and they came as far as Haran, and dwelt
there.</span></li>
<li><span>And the days of Thare were tow hundred and five years,
and he died in Haran.</span></li>

</div>
<div class="chapter">
<div class="chaptertitle"><a name="12">Genesis 12</a></div>
<ol>
<li><span>And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country,
and from thy kindred, and out of they father's house, and come into
the land which I shall shew thee.</span></li>
<li><span>And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless
thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.</span></li>
<li><span>I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that
curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be
blessed:</span></li>
<li><span>So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and Lot
went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went forth
from Haran.</span></li>
<li><span>And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son,
and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which
they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of
Chanaan. And when they were come into it,</span></li>
<li><span>Abram passed through the country into the place of
Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that
time in the land.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him: To thy
seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar to the
Lord, who had appeared to him.</span></li>
<li><span>And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on the
east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on
the west, and Hai on the east; he built there also an altar to the
Lord, and called upon his name.</span></li>
<li><span>And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the
south.</span></li>
<li><span>And there came a famine in the country; and Abram went
down into Egypt, to sojourn there: for the famine was very grievous
in the land.</span></li>
<li><span>And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to
Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:</span></li>
<li><span>And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will
say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep
thee.</span></li>
<li><span>Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my sister:
that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy
sake.</span></li>
<li><span>And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the
woman that she was very beautiful.</span></li>
<li><span>And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him:
and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.</span></li>
<li><span>And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep
and oxen, and he asses, and menservants and maidservants, and she
asses, and camels.</span></li>
<li><span>But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most
grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram's wife.</span></li>
<li><span>And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is this
that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was
thy wife.</span></li>
<li><span>For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I
might take her to my wife? Now therefore, there is thy wife, take
her, and go thy way.</span></li>
<li><span>And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they
led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.</span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="chapter">
<div class="chaptertitle"><a name="13">Genesis 13</a></div>
<ol>
<li><span>And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all
that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.</span></li>
<li><span>And he was very rich in possession of gold and
silver.</span></li>
<li><span>And he returned by the way that he came, from the south
to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent
between Bethel and Hai:</span></li>
<li><span>In the place of the altar which he had made before; and
there he called upon the name of the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep,
and herds of beasts, and tents.</span></li>
<li><span>Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might
dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not
dwell together.</span></li>
<li><span>Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen
of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the
Pherezite dwelled in that country.</span></li>
<li><span>Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I
beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy
herdsmen: for we are brethren.</span></li>
<li><span>Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me I
pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right:
if thou choose the right hand, I will pass to the left.</span></li>
<li><span>And Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about
the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as
one comes to Segor.</span></li>
<li><span>And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan,
and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother
from the other.</span></li>
<li><span>Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan; and Lot abode in the
towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom.</span></li>
<li><span>And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before
the face of the Lord, beyond measure.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from
him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now
art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the
west.</span></li>
<li><span>All the land which thou seest, I will give to thee, and
to thy seed for ever.</span></li>
<li><span>And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: if any
man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to
number thy seed also.</span></li>
<li><span>Arise and walk through the land in the length, and in the
breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee.</span></li>
<li><span>So Abram removing his tent came and dwelt by the vale of
Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there an altar to the
Lord.</span></li>

<li><span>And it came to pass at that time, that Amraphel king of
Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus, and Chodorlahomor king of the
Elamites, and Thadal king of nations,</span></li>
<li><span>Made war against Bara king of Sodom, and against Bersa
king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab king of Adama, and against
Semeber king of Seboim, and against the king of Bala, which is
Segor.</span></li>
<li><span>All these came together into the woodland vale, which now
is the salt sea.</span></li>
<li><span>For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in
the thirteenth year they revolted from him.</span></li>
<li><span>And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the
kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim in
Astarothcarnaim, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim in Save of
Cariathaim.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the
plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.</span></li>
<li><span>And they returned, and came to the fountain of Misphat,
