Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:

Thus the heavens

and the earth were finished,

and all the host of them.

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.

God created the heaven

and the earth.

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.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created,

In the beginning

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

And God called the light Day,

in the day that the Lord God made the earth

and the heavens,

and breathed into h-is nostrils the breath of life;

the tree of life also in the midst of the garden,

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,

and shall cleave unto h-is wife:

and they shall be one flesh.

Again

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 Adam knew his wife again;

and she bare a son, and called h-is name Seveth:

For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, . . .

And the Lord said unto Cain, . . . If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?

and if thou doest not well,

s-in lieth at the door.

And Adam knew his wife again;

and s-he bare a son, and called his name Seth:

For God, said she, hath appointed me . . .

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.

. . . another seed instead of Abel,

whom Cain slew.

and breathed into h-is nostrils the breath of life;

and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

and he called h is name Enos:

And to Seth,

to him also there was born a son;

and he called his name Enos:

And Enoch walked with God:

and he was not;

for God took him.

And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; . . .

and the darkness he called Night.

and he called his name Enos: . . .

And God called the light Day,

and the darkness he called Night.

And the evening and the morning --were the first day.

in the day that the Lord God made the earth

. . . then began m-en to call upon the name of the Lord.

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked;

and I hid myself.

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.

And the Lord God took the man,

and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it

and to keep it.

and Satan came also among them to present him-self before the Lord.

There-fore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground

from whence he was taken.

And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou?

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;

And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro,

until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth,

I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

and he was not;

for God took him.

and from walking up and down in it.

Job

And the Lord God took the man,

and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it

Eliphaz the Temanite,

and Bildad the Shuhite,

and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, . . .

These are the generations of Noah:

Noah was a just man and - -perfect in -- his generations, . . .

And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Is-ra-el:

for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men,

and hast prevailed.

And Jacob asked him,

and said, Tell me, I pray thee,

thy name. . . .

And Adam knew Eve his wife;

and she conceived, and bare Cain,

 and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.

And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth;

and from thy face shall I be hid;

Israel

And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee,

thy name. . . .

to him also there was born a son;

and he called his name Enos:

then began m-en to call upon the name of the Lord.

. . . And he said, Where-fore -- is it that thou dost ask after my name?

him there

And he blessed him there.

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: . . .

And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

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.

. . .for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

. . . and Noah walked with God.

And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew;

For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee;

therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.

one that feareth God,

Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:

and escheweth evil?

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And the earth was without form, . . .

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one --his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him:

for they saw that his grief was very great.

. . . and void;

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

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:

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the mid-st of the waters,

And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal,

Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the Lord,

but the worshippers of Baal only.

And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go,

his life shall be for the life of him.

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering,

that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them;

let none come forth.

And they smote them with the edge of the sword;

and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

to destroy him --without -cause.

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked:

he cover-eth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where,

and who is he?

And Satan answered the Lord, and said,

yea, - - all that a man hath will he give for his life.

But God

And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, . . .

then shall the Lord be my God:

. . .because thou sore longed-st after thy father's house, . . .

only upon himself put not forth thine hand.
