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 darkness. And God called the light, "day" and the

darkness, HE called "night" and the evening and the morning were the first day. And God

said 'let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from

the waters. 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 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 ,

HE called "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. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb

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 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 seasons, and for

days and years. 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 night to rule the night; HE made the stars also.

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 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.

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 the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 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 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.

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 meat. 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.

And God sawevery thing HE had made, and behold, it was very good.

And the evening and the morning were the sixth 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 God blessed he seventh day and sanctified it; because

that in it HE had rested from all HIS work which God created and made. These are the

generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day The

Lord God made the earth and the heavens; 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. But there went up a mist of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became

a living soul. And The Lord God planted a garden eastward of Eden; and there HE put the

man whom HE had formed. 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 a river went out of Eden to water

the garden; and from thence it 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 the

gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and the onyx stone.And the name of the second

river is Gihon; the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.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. And The Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden to dress it

and to keep it. And The Lord God commanded the man, saying, "of every tree of the garden

thou mayest freely eat; 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. And The Lord God said,

"it is not good that man should be alone; I will make him an helpmeet for him. " 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. 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 helpmeet for him. 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 rib, which

The Lord God had taken from man made HE a woman, and brought her unto the man.

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. Therefore, shall a man leave his father and

his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh And they were both

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

And he said unto the woman, 'yea? hath God said. 'ye shall not eat of every tree of the

garden?" And the woman said unto the serpent, 'we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the

garden.But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, "ye

shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. " And the serpent [the representation

of the devil] said unto the woman, "ye shall not surely die?" For God knoweth that in the

day that ye thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good

and evil. " And when the woman say that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant

to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,, she took of the fruit thereof, and did

eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. And the eyes of them

both were opened, and they knew that they were naked,and they sewed fig leaves together

and made themselves aprons. Adn they heard the voice of The Lord God, walking in the

garden, in the cool of the day; and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of

The Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And The Lord God called unto Adam, and

said unto him, "Where art thou?" And he said , " I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was

afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And HE said, "who told thee that thou wast

naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat ?

And the man said, 'the woman whom Thou gavest me, she gave me of the tree; and I did

eat. And The Lord God said unto the woman, 'what is this that thou hast done? " And the

woman said, "the serpent beguiled me and I did eat." And The Lord God said unto the

serpent, 'because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle and above every

beast of the field. upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed,

it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman, HE said, "I will

greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;

and thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee." And unto Adam, HE said,

'because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and has eaten of the tree of which

I commanded thee saying,' thou shalt not eat of it' cursed is the ground for thy sake; in

sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee

and thou shalt eat the herb of the field. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till

all return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art and unto dust

shalt thou return. And Adam called his wife's name "Eve" because she was the mother of all

living. Unto Adam also and ot his wife, did The Lord God make coats of skins, ,and clothed

them. And The Lord God said,'behold, a man is become as one of us, to know good and evil

and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever,

therefore ,The Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from

whence he was taken. So HE drove out the man; and HE placed at the east of the garden

of Eden, cherabims, and flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the

tree of life.
