The Old Testament - The
First Book of Moses |
1:1
In the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth.
1:2
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.
1:3
And God said, Let
there be light: and there was light.
1:4
And God saw the
light, that it was good: and
God divided the light from the
darkness.
1:5
And God called the
light Day, and the darkness he
called Night. And the evening and
the morning were the first day.
1:6
And God said, Let
there be a firmament in the midst of
the waters, and let it divide the
waters from the waters.
1:7
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.
1:8
And God called the
firmament Heaven. And the evening
and the morning were the second day.
1:9
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.
1:10
And God called the
dry land Earth; and the
gathering together of the waters
called he Seas: and God saw that
it was good.
1:11
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.
1:12
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.
1:13
And the evening and
the morning were the third day.
1:14
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:
1:15 And let
them be for lights in the firmament
of the heaven to give light upon the
earth: and it was so.
1:16
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.
1:17
And God set them in
the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth,
1:18
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.
1:19
And the evening and
the morning were the fourth day.
1:20
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.
1:21
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.
1:22 And God
blessed them, saying, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and fill the waters in
the seas, and let fowl multiply in
the earth.
1:23
And the evening and
the morning were the fifth day.
1:24
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.
1:25
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.
1:26
And God said, Let us
make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over
the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and
over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.
1:27
So God created man
in his own image, in the
image of God created he him; male
and female created he them.
1:28
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.
1:29
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.
1:30
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.
1:31
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.
2:1
Thus the heavens and
the earth were finished, and all the
host of them.
2:2
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.
2:3
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.
2:4
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,
2:5
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.
2:6
But there went up a
mist from the earth, and watered the
whole face of the ground.
2:7
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.
2:8
And the LORD God
planted a garden eastward in Eden;
and there he put the man whom he had
formed.
2:9
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.
2:10 And a river
went out of Eden to water the
garden; and from thence it was
parted, and became into four heads.
2:11 The name of
the first is Pison: that
is it which compasseth the whole
land of Havilah, where there is
gold;
2:12 And the
gold of that land is good:
there is bdellium and the
onyx stone.
2:13 And the
name of the second river is
Gihon: the same is it that
compasseth the whole land of
Ethiopia.
2:14 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.
2:15 And the
LORD God took the man, and put him
into the garden of Eden to dress it
and to keep it.
2:16 And the
LORD God commanded the man, saying,
Of every tree of the garden thou
mayest freely eat:
2:17
But of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil, thou
shalt not eat of it: for in the day
that thou eatest thereof thou shalt
surely die.
2:18
And the LORD God
said, It is not good that the
man should be alone; I will make him
an help meet for him.
2:19 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.
2:20 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.
2:21 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;
2:22 And the
rib, which the LORD God had taken
from man, made he a woman, and
brought her unto the man.
2:23 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.
2:24 Therefore
shall a man leave his father and his
mother, and shall cleave unto his
wife: and they shall be one flesh.
2:25
And they were both
naked, the man and his wife, and
were not ashamed.
3:1
Now the serpent was
more subtil than any beast of the
field which the LORD God had made.
And he said unto the woman, Yea,
hath God said, Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden?
3:2
And the woman said
unto the serpent, We may eat of the
fruit of the trees of the garden:
3:3
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.
3:4
And the serpent said
unto the woman, Ye shall not surely
die:
3:5
For God doth know
that in the day ye eat thereof, then
your eyes shall be opened, and ye
shall be as gods, knowing good and
evil.
3:6
And when the woman
saw 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.
3:7
And the eyes of them
both were opened, and they knew that
they were naked; and they
sewed fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons.
3:8
And 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.
3:9
And the LORD God
called unto Adam, and said unto him,
Where art thou?
3:10 And he
said, I heard thy voice in the
garden, and I was afraid, because I
was naked; and I hid myself.
3:11 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?
3:12 And the man
said, The woman whom thou gavest
to be with me, she gave me of
the tree, and I did eat.
3:13 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.
3:14 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:
3:15 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.
3:16 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.
3:17 And unto
Adam he said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy
wife, and hast 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;
3:18 Thorns also
and thistles shall it bring forth to
thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of
the field;
3:19 In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread, till thou return unto the
ground; for out of it wast thou
taken: for dust thou art, and
unto dust shalt thou return.
3:20 And Adam
called his wife’s name Eve; because
she was the mother of all living.
3:21 Unto Adam
also and to his wife did the LORD
God make coats of skins, and clothed
them.
3:22 And the
LORD God said, Behold, the 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 for ever:
3:23 Therefore
the LORD God sent him forth from the
garden of Eden, to till the ground
from whence he was taken.
3:24
So he drove out the
man; and he placed at the east of
the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a
flaming sword which turned every
way, to keep the way of the tree of
life.
4:1
And Adam knew Eve
his wife; and she conceived, and
bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a
man from the LORD.
4:2
And she again bare
his brother Abel. And Abel was a
keeper of sheep, but Cain was a
tiller of the ground.
4:3
And in process of
time it came to pass, that Cain
brought of the fruit of the ground
an offering unto the LORD.
4:4
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:
4:5
But unto Cain and to
his offering he had not respect. And
Cain was very wroth, and his
countenance fell.
4:6
And the LORD said
unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and
why is thy countenance fallen?
4:7
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.
4:8
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.
4:9
And the LORD said
unto Cain, Where is Abel thy
brother? And he said, I know not:
Am I my brother’s keeper?
4:10 And he
said, What hast thou done? the voice
of thy brother’s blood crieth unto
me from the ground.
4:11 And now
art thou cursed from the earth,
which hath opened her mouth to
receive thy brother’s blood from thy
hand;
4:12 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.
4:13 And Cain
said unto the LORD, My punishment
is greater than I can bear.
4:14 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.
4:15
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.
4:16
And Cain went out
from the presence of the LORD, and
dwelt in the land of Nod, on the
east of Eden.
4:17 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.
4:18
And unto Enoch was
born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael:
and Mehujael begat Methusael: and
Methusael begat Lamech.
4:19
And Lamech took unto
him two wives: the name of the one
was Adah, and the name of the
other Zillah.
4:20 And Adah
bare Jabal: he was the father of
such as dwell in tents, and of
such as have cattle.
4:21 And his
brother’s name was Jubal: he
was the father of all such as handle
the harp and organ.
4:22 And Zillah,
she also bare Tubal- cain, an
instructer of every artificer in
brass and iron: and the sister of
Tubal-cain was Naamah.
4:23 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.
4:24
If Cain shall be
avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech
seventy and sevenfold.
4:25
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.
4:26
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.
5:1
This is the
book of the generations of Adam. In
the day that God created man, in the
likeness of God made he him;
5:2
Male and female
created he them; and blessed them,
and called their name Adam, in the
day when they were created.
5:3
And Adam lived an
hundred and thirty years, and begat
a son in his own likeness,
after his image; and called his name
Seth:
5:4
And the days of Adam
after he had begotten Seth were
eight hundred years: and he begat
sons and daughters:
5:5
And all the days
that Adam lived were nine hundred
and thirty years: and he died.
5:6
And Seth lived an
hundred and five years, and begat
Enos:
5:7
And Seth lived after
he begat Enos eight hundred and
seven years, and begat sons and
daughters:
5:8
And all the days of
Seth were nine hundred and twelve
years: and he died.
5:9
And Enos lived
ninety years, and begat Cainan:
5:10 And Enos
lived after he begat Cainan eight
hundred and fifteen years, and begat
sons and daughters:
5:11
And all the days of
Enos were nine hundred and five
years: and he died.
5:12
And Cainan lived
seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:
5:13 And Cainan
lived after he begat Mahalaleel
eight hundred and forty years, and
begat sons and daughters:
5:14
And all the days of
Cainan were nine hundred and ten
years: and he died.
5:15
And Mahalaleel lived
sixty and five years, and begat
Jared:
5:16 And
Mahalaleel lived after he begat
Jared eight hundred and thirty
years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:17
And all the days of
Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety
and five years: and he died.
5:18
And Jared lived an
hundred sixty and two years, and he
begat Enoch:
5:19 And Jared
lived after he begat Enoch eight
hundred years, and begat sons and
daughters:
5:20
And all the days of
Jared were nine hundred sixty and
two years: and he died.
5:21
And Enoch lived
sixty and five years, and begat
Methuselah:
5:22 And Enoch
walked with God after he begat
Methuselah three hundred years, and
begat sons and daughters:
5:23 And all the
days of Enoch were three hundred
sixty and five years:
5:24 And Enoch
walked with God: and he was
not; for God took him.
5:25 And
Methuselah lived an hundred eighty
and seven years, and begat Lamech:
5:26 And
Methuselah lived after he begat
Lamech seven hundred eighty and two
years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:27
And all the days of
Methuselah were nine hundred sixty
and nine years: and he died.
5:28
And Lamech lived an
hundred eighty and two years, and
begat a son:
5:29 And he
called his name Noah, saying, This
same shall comfort us
concerning our work and toil of our
hands, because of the ground which
the LORD hath cursed.
5:30 And Lamech
lived after he begat Noah five
hundred ninety and five years, and
begat sons and daughters:
5:31 And all the
days of Lamech were seven hundred
seventy and seven years: and he
died.
5:32
And Noah was five
hundred years old: and Noah begat
Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
6:1
And it came to pass,
when men began to multiply on the
face of the earth, and daughters
were born unto them,
6:2
That the sons of God
saw the daughters of men that they
were fair; and they took them
wives of all which they chose.
6:3
And the LORD said,
My spirit shall not always strive
with man, for that he also is
flesh: yet his days shall be an
hundred and twenty years.
6:4
There were giants in
the earth in those days; and also
after that, when the sons of God
came in unto the daughters of men,
and they bare children to
them, the same became mighty
men which were of old, men of
renown.
6:5
And GOD saw that the
wickedness of man was great
in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil
continually.
6:6
And it repented the
LORD that he had made man on the
earth, and it grieved him at his
heart.
6:7
And the LORD said, I
will destroy man whom I have created
from the face of the earth; both
man, and beast, and the creeping
thing, and the fowls of the air; for
it repenteth me that I have made
them.
6:8
But Noah found grace
in the eyes of the LORD.
6:9
These are the
generations of Noah: Noah was a just
man and perfect in his
generations, and Noah walked
with God.
6:10 And Noah
begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and
Japheth.
6:11 The earth
also was corrupt before God, and the
earth was filled with violence.
6:12 And God
looked upon the earth, and, behold,
it was corrupt; for all flesh had
corrupted his way upon the earth.
6:13
And God said unto
Noah, The end of all flesh is come
before me; for the earth is filled
with violence through them; and,
behold, I will destroy them with the
earth.
6:14
Make thee an ark of
gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make
in the ark, and shalt pitch it
within and without with pitch.
6:15 And this
is the fashion which thou shalt
make it of: The length of the
ark shall be three hundred
cubits, the breadth of it fifty
cubits, and the height of it thirty
cubits.
6:16 A window
shalt thou make to the ark, and in a
cubit shalt thou finish it above;
and the door of the ark shalt thou
set in the side thereof; with
lower, second, and third stories
shalt thou make it.
6:17 And,
behold, I, even I, do bring a flood
of waters upon the earth, to destroy
all flesh, wherein is the
breath of life, from under heaven;
and every thing that is
in the earth shall die.
6:18 But with
thee will I establish my covenant;
and thou shalt come into the ark,
thou, and thy sons, and thy wife,
and thy sons’ wives with thee.
6:19 And of
every living thing of all flesh, two
of every sort shalt thou
bring into the ark, to keep them
alive with thee; they shall be male
and female.
6:20 Of fowls
after their kind, and of cattle
after their kind, of every creeping
thing of the earth after his kind,
two of every sort shall come
unto thee, to keep them
alive.
6:21 And take
thou unto thee of all food that is
eaten, and thou shalt gather it
to thee; and it shall be for food
for thee, and for them.
6:22
Thus did Noah;
according to all that God commanded
him, so did he.
7:1
And the LORD said
unto Noah, Come thou and all thy
house into the ark; for thee have I
seen righteous before me in this
generation.
7:2
Of every clean beast
thou shalt take to thee by sevens,
the male and his female: and of
beasts that are not clean by
two, the male and his female.
7:3
Of fowls also of the
air by sevens, the male and the
female; to keep seed alive upon the
face of all the earth.
7:4
For yet seven days,
and I will cause it to rain upon the
earth forty days and forty nights;
and every living substance that I
have made will I destroy from off
the face of the earth.
7:5
And Noah did
according unto all that the LORD
commanded him.
7:6
And Noah was
six hundred years old when the flood
of waters was upon the earth.
7:7
And Noah went in,
and his sons, and his wife, and his
sons’ wives with him, into the ark,
because of the waters of the flood.
7:8
Of clean beasts, and
of beasts that are not clean,
and of fowls, and of every thing
that creepeth upon the earth,
7:9
There went in two
and two unto Noah into the ark, the
male and the female, as God had
commanded Noah.
7:10
And it came to pass
after seven days, that the waters of
the flood were upon the earth.
7:11
In the six hundredth
year of Noah’s life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the
month, the same day were all the
fountains of the great deep broken
up, and the windows of heaven were
opened.
7:12 And the
rain was upon the earth forty days
and forty nights.
7:13 In the
selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem,
and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of
Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three
wives of his sons with them, into
the ark;
7:14 They, and
every beast after his kind, and all
the cattle after their kind, and
every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth after his kind, and
every fowl after his kind, every
bird of every sort.
7:15 And they
went in unto Noah into the ark, two
and two of all flesh, wherein is
the breath of life.
7:16 And they
that went in, went in male and
female of all flesh, as God had
commanded him: and the LORD shut him
in.
7:17 And the
flood was forty days upon the earth;
and the waters increased, and bare
up the ark, and it was lift up above
the earth.
7:18 And the
waters prevailed, and were increased
greatly upon the earth; and the ark
went upon the face of the waters.
7:19 And the
waters prevailed exceedingly upon
the earth; and all the high hills,
that were under the whole
heaven, were covered.
7:20 Fifteen
cubits upward did the waters
prevail; and the mountains were
covered.
7:21 And all
flesh died that moved upon the
earth, both of fowl, and of cattle,
and of beast, and of every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth,
and every man:
7:22 All in
whose nostrils was the breath
of life, of all that was in
the dry land, died.
7:23 And every
living substance was destroyed which
was upon the face of the ground,
both man, and cattle, and the
creeping things, and the fowl of the
heaven; and they were destroyed from
the earth: and Noah only remained
alive, and they that were
with him in the ark.
7:24
And the waters
prevailed upon the earth an hundred
and fifty days.
8:1
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;
8:2
The fountains also
of the deep and the windows of
heaven were stopped, and the rain
from heaven was restrained;
8:3
And the waters
returned from off the earth
continually: and after the end of
the hundred and fifty days the
waters were abated.
8:4
And the ark rested
in the seventh month, on the
seventeenth day of the month, upon
the mountains of Ararat.
8:5
And the waters
decreased continually until the
tenth month: in the tenth month,
on the first day of the
month, were the tops of the
mountains seen.
8:6
And it came to pass
at the end of forty days, that Noah
opened the window of the ark which
he had made:
8:7
And he sent forth a
raven, which went forth to and fro,
until the waters were dried up from
off the earth.
8:8
Also he sent forth a
dove from him, to see if the waters
were abated from off the face of the
ground;
8:9
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.
8:10 And he
stayed yet other seven days; and
again he sent forth the dove out of
the ark;
8:11 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.
8:12
And he stayed yet
other seven days; and sent forth the
dove; which returned not again unto
him any more.
8:13
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.
8:14
And in the second
month, on the seven and twentieth
day of the month, was the earth
dried.
8:15
And God spake unto
Noah, saying,
8:16 Go forth of
the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy
sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
8:17 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.
8:18 And Noah
went forth, and his sons, and his
wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
8:19
Every beast, every
creeping thing, and every fowl,
and whatsoever creepeth upon the
earth, after their kinds, went forth
out of the ark.
8:20
And Noah builded an
altar unto the LORD; and took of
every clean beast, and of every
clean fowl, and offered burnt
offerings on the altar.
8:21 And the
LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the
LORD said in his heart, I will not
again curse the ground any more for
man’s sake; for the imagination of
man’s heart is evil from his
youth; neither will I again smite
any more every thing living, as I
have done.
8:22
While the earth
remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and
cold and heat, and summer and
winter, and day and night shall not
cease.
9:1
And God blessed Noah
and his sons, and said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth.
9:2
And the fear of you
and the dread of you shall be upon
every beast of the earth, and upon
every fowl of the air, upon all that
moveth upon the earth, and
upon all the fishes of the sea; into
your hand are they delivered.
9:3
Every moving thing
that liveth shall be meat for you;
even as the green herb have I given
you all things.
9:4
But flesh with the
life thereof, which is the
blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
9:5
And surely your
blood of your lives will I require;
at the hand of every beast will I
require it, and at the hand of man;
at the hand of every man’s brother
will I require the life of man.
9:6
Whoso sheddeth man’s
blood, by man shall his blood be
shed: for in the image of God made
he man.
9:7
And you, be ye
fruitful, and multiply; bring forth
abundantly in the earth, and
multiply therein.
9:8
And God spake unto
Noah, and to his sons with him,
saying,
9:9
And I, behold, I
establish my covenant with you, and
with your seed after you;
9:10 And with
every living creature that is
with you, of the fowl, of the
cattle, and of every beast of the
earth with you; from all that go out
of the ark, to every beast of the
earth.
9:11 And I will
establish my covenant with you;
neither shall all flesh be cut off
any more by the waters of a flood;
neither shall there any more be a
flood to destroy the earth.
9:12 And God
said, This is the token of
the covenant which I make between me
and you and every living creature
that is with you, for
perpetual generations:
9:13 I do set my
bow in the cloud, and it shall be
for a token of a covenant between me
and the earth.
9:14 And it
shall come to pass, when I bring a
cloud over the earth, that the bow
shall be seen in the cloud:
9:15 And I will
remember my covenant, which is
between me and you and every living
creature of all flesh; and the
waters shall no more become a flood
to destroy all flesh.
9:16 And the bow
shall be in the cloud; and I will
look upon it, that I may remember
the everlasting covenant between God
and every living creature of all
flesh that is upon the earth.
9:17
And God said unto
Noah, This is the token of
the covenant, which I have
established between me and all flesh
that is upon the earth.
9:18
And the sons of
Noah, that went forth of the ark,
were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and
Ham is the father of Canaan.
9:19 These
are the three sons of Noah: and
of them was the whole earth
overspread.
9:20 And Noah
began to be an husbandman,
and he planted a vineyard:
9:21 And he
drank of the wine, and was drunken;
and he was uncovered within his
tent.
9:22 And Ham,
the father of Canaan, saw the
nakedness of his father, and told
his two brethren without.
9:23 And Shem
and Japheth took a garment, and laid
it upon both their shoulders,
and went backward, and covered the
nakedness of their father; and their
faces were backward, and they
saw not their father’s nakedness.
9:24 And Noah
awoke from his wine, and knew what
his younger son had done unto him.
9:25 And he
said, Cursed be Canaan; a
servant of servants shall he be unto
his brethren.
9:26 And he
said, Blessed be the LORD God
of Shem; and Canaan shall be his
servant.
9:27
God shall enlarge
Japheth, and he shall dwell in the
tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be
his servant.
9:28
And Noah lived after
the flood three hundred and fifty
years.
9:29
And all the days of
Noah were nine hundred and fifty
years: and he died.
10:1
Now these are
the generations of the sons of Noah,
Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto
them were sons born after the flood.
10:2 The sons of
Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and
Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and
Meshech, and Tiras.
10:3 And the
sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and
Riphath, and Togarmah.
10:4 And the
sons of Javan; Elishah, and
Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
10:5
By these were the
isles of the Gentiles divided in
their lands; every one after his
tongue, after their families, in
their nations.
10:6
And the sons of Ham;
Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and
Canaan.
10:7 And the
sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and
Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah:
and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and
Dedan.
10:8 And Cush
begat Nimrod: he began to be a
mighty one in the earth.
10:9 He was a
mighty hunter before the LORD:
wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod
the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10:10 And the
beginning of his kingdom was Babel,
and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in
the land of Shinar.
10:11 Out of
that land went forth Asshur, and
builded Nineveh, and the city
Rehoboth, and Calah,
10:12 And Resen
between Nineveh and Calah: the same
is a great city.
10:13 And
Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and
Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
10:14
And Pathrusim, and
Casluhim, (out of whom came
Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
10:15
And Canaan begat
Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
10:16 And the
Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the
Girgasite,
10:17 And the
Hivite, and the Arkite, and the
Sinite,
10:18 And the
Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the
Hamathite: and afterward were the
families of the Canaanites spread
abroad.
10:19 And the
border of the Canaanites was from
Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto
Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and
Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim,
even unto Lasha.
10:20
These are the
sons of Ham, after their families,
after their tongues, in their
countries, and in their
nations.
10:21
Unto Shem also, the
father of all the children of Eber,
the brother of Japheth the elder,
even to him were children
born.
10:22 The
children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur,
and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
10:23 And the
children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and
Gether, and Mash.
10:24 And
Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah
begat Eber.
10:25 And unto
Eber were born two sons: the name of
one was Peleg; for in his
days was the earth divided; and his
brother’s name was Joktan.
10:26 And Joktan
begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and
Hazar-maveth, and Jerah,
10:27 And
Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
10:28 And Obal,
and Abimael, and Sheba,
10:29 And Ophir,
and Havilah, and Jobab: all these
were the sons of Joktan.
10:30 And their
dwelling was from Mesha, as thou
goest unto Sephar a mount of the
east.
10:31 These
are the sons of Shem, after
their families, after their tongues,
in their lands, after their nations.
10:32
These are the
families of the sons of Noah, after
their generations, in their nations:
and by these were the nations
divided in the earth after the
flood.
11:1
And the whole earth
was of one language, and of one
speech.
11:2 And it came
to pass, as they journeyed from the
east, that they found a plain in the
land of Shinar; and they dwelt
there.
11:3 And they
said one to another, Go to, let us
make brick, and burn them throughly.
And they had brick for stone, and
slime had they for morter.
11:4 And they
said, Go to, let us build us a city
and a tower, whose top may reach
unto heaven; and let us make us a
name, lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth.
11:5 And the
LORD came down to see the city and
the tower, which the children of men
builded.
11:6 And the
LORD said, Behold, the people is
one, and they have all one language;
and this they begin to do: and now
nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have imagined to
do.
11:7 Go to, let
us go down, and there confound their
language, that they may not
understand one another’s speech.
11:8 So the LORD
scattered them abroad from thence
upon the face of all the earth: and
they left off to build the city.
11:9
Therefore is the name
of it called Babel; because the LORD
did there confound the language of
all the earth: and from thence did
the LORD scatter them abroad upon
the face of all the earth.
11:10
These are the
generations of Shem: Shem was
an hundred years old, and begat
Arphaxad two years after the flood:
11:11 And Shem
lived after he begat Arphaxad five
hundred years, and begat sons and
daughters.
11:12 And
Arphaxad lived five and thirty
years, and begat Salah:
11:13 And
Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah
four hundred and three years, and
begat sons and daughters.
11:14 And Salah
lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
11:15 And Salah
lived after he begat Eber four
hundred and three years, and begat
sons and daughters.
11:16 And Eber
lived four and thirty years, and
begat Peleg:
11:17 And Eber
lived after he begat Peleg four
hundred and thirty years, and begat
sons and daughters.
11:18 And Peleg
lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
11:19 And Peleg
lived after he begat Reu two hundred
and nine years, and begat sons and
daughters.
11:20 And Reu
lived two and thirty years, and
begat Serug:
11:21 And Reu
lived after he begat Serug two
hundred and seven years, and begat
sons and daughters.
11:22 And Serug
lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
11:23 And Serug
lived after he begat Nahor two
hundred years, and begat sons and
daughters.
11:24 And Nahor
lived nine and twenty years, and
begat Terah:
11:25 And Nahor
lived after he begat Terah an
hundred and nineteen years, and
begat sons and daughters.
11:26
And Terah lived
seventy years, and begat Abram,
Nahor, and Haran.
11:27
Now these are
the generations of Terah: Terah
begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and
Haran begat Lot.
11:28 And Haran
died before his father Terah in the
land of his nativity, in Ur of the
Chaldees.
11:29 And Abram
and Nahor took them wives: the name
of Abram’s wife was Sarai;
and the name of Nahor’s wife,
Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the
father of Milcah, and the father of
Iscah.
11:30 But Sarai
was barren; she had no child.
11:31 And Terah
took Abram his son, and Lot the son
of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai
his daughter in law, his son Abram’s
wife; and they went forth with them
from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into
the land of Canaan; and they came
unto Haran, and dwelt there.
11:32
And the days of Terah
were two hundred and five years: and
Terah died in Haran.
12:1
Now the LORD had
said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy
country, and from thy kindred, and
from thy father’s house, unto a land
that I will shew thee:
12:2 And I will
make of thee a great nation, and I
will bless thee, and make thy name
great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
12:3 And I will
bless them that bless thee, and
curse him that curseth thee: and in
thee shall all families of the earth
be blessed.
12:4 So Abram
departed, as the LORD had spoken
unto him; and Lot went with him: and
Abram was seventy and five
years old when he departed out of
Haran.
12:5
And Abram took Sarai
his wife, and Lot his brother’s son,
and all their substance that they
had gathered, and the souls that
they had gotten in Haran; and they
went forth to go into the land of
Canaan; and into the land of Canaan
they came.
12:6
And Abram passed
through the land unto the place of
Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And
the Canaanite was then in the
land.
12:7 And the
LORD appeared unto Abram, and said,
Unto thy seed will I give this land:
and there builded he an altar unto
the LORD, who appeared unto him.
12:8 And he
removed from thence unto a mountain
on the east of Bethel, and pitched
his tent, having Bethel on
the west, and Hai on the east: and
there he builded an altar unto the
LORD, and called upon the name of
the LORD.
12:9
And Abram journeyed,
going on still toward the south.
12:10
And there was a
famine in the land: and Abram went
down into Egypt to sojourn there;
for the famine was grievous
in the land.
12:11 And it
came to pass, when he was come near
to enter into Egypt, that he said
unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I
know that thou art a fair
woman to look upon:
12:12 Therefore
it shall come to pass, when the
Egyptians shall see thee, that they
shall say, This is his wife:
and they will kill me, but they will
save thee alive.
12:13
Say, I pray thee,
thou art my sister: that it
may be well with me for thy sake;
and my soul shall live because of
thee.
12:14
And it came to pass,
that, when Abram was come into
Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the
woman that she was very fair.
12:15 The
princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and
commended her before Pharaoh: and
the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s
house.
12:16 And he
entreated Abram well for her sake:
and he had sheep, and oxen, and he
asses, and menservants, and
maidservants, and she asses, and
camels.
12:17 And the
LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house
with great plagues because of Sarai
Abram’s wife.
12:18 And
Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What
is this that thou hast
done unto me? why didst thou not
tell me that she was thy
wife?
12:19 Why saidst
thou, She is my sister? so I
might have taken her to me to wife:
now therefore behold thy wife, take
her, and go thy way.
12:20
And Pharaoh commanded
his men concerning him: and
they sent him away, and his wife,
and all that he had.
13:1
And Abram went up
out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and
all that he had, and Lot with him,
into the south.
13:2 And Abram
was very rich in cattle, in
silver, and in gold.
13:3 And he went
on his journeys from the south even
to Bethel, unto the place where his
tent had been at the beginning,
between Bethel and Hai;
13:4
Unto the place of the
altar, which he had made there at
the first: and there Abram called on
