Now the serpent
was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord
God had made.
**
And it came to
pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that
she was very fair. . . .
**
And
it came to pass, when men
began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
That
the sons of God saw - the daughters of men that they
were fair; and they
took them
wives of all which they
chose.
**
. . . The princes
also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and
the work-man was taken into Pharaoh's house.
**
And
he said unto the work-man, Yea,
- hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And
the work-man 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 mid-st of the garden,
- God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
neither
shall ye touch it,
lest ye die.
And
the
serpent said unto the work-man, Ye shall not
surely
die:
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.
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- man with her;
and
he did eat.
**
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.
**
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 work-man
whom thou gavest to be with me,
she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
And
the Lord God said unto the work-woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me,
and I did eat.
**
And
the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues - because
of Sarai Abram's wife.
**
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 work-woman, and between - thy
seed and her
seed;
it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his he-el.
**
And
God blessed them, - saying, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
*
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.
**
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
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.
*
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?
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.
And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent
him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
And
Abram went up
out
of Egypt, he,
and his wife, and all that he had,
and Lot with him, into the south.
**
Even
so every good tree bringeth forth
good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
