And
God said,
Let us
make man in our image,
*
Hear the
word of the Lord,
ye
rulers of Sodom;
*
give
ear unto the law of our God,
ye
people of
Gomorrah.
*
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.
**
So
God created man in his own image,
in
the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
**
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.
**
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.
**
And
the Lord God planted a
garden eastward in Eden;
and
there he put
the man whom he had formed.
**
And
the Lord God took the man,
and
put him into the garden of Eden to
dress it
and
to keep it.
And
the Lord God commanded the man,
**
And
the mixed
multitude
that was among them fell a-lusting:
and
the children of Israel also wept
again,
and
said,
Who
shall give us flesh to eat?
*
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?
*
We
remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely;
the cucumbers,
and
the melons,
and
the leeks,
and
the onions,
and
the garlick:
*
and
it ceased to be with Sarah after the
manner of workmen.
*
But
now our
soul is dried away:
there
is nothing at all,
beside this manna,
before our eyes.
**
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 the man should
be alone; I will make him - an
- help
meet for him.
**
And
out of the ground
the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the
air;
*
This
is the book of
the generations
of Adam.
In
the day that God
created man,
in
the likeness
of God made he him;
Male
and female created he them;
and
blessed them,
and
called their
name Adam, in
the day when they were created.
*
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
help
meet for him.
And
the Lord God caused a deep sleep
to fall upon Adam,
**
And
Lamech took unto
him two
wives:
the name of the one was Adah,
**
and
he slept:
and
he took one of
his ribs,
**
and
the name of the other Zillah.
**
For
God,
said
she,
hath appointed me an-other seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
**
and
closed up the flesh instead
thereof;
**
And
the rib,
which the Lord
God - had taken - from man,
made
he a workman,
and
brought her unto the man.
And
the Lord said unto
her,
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
were not ashamed.
***
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.
***
And
they went in unto Noah into the ark,
two
-
and two - of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
***
And
- they that - went in,
went
in
male and female of - all flesh, - as
God had commanded him: and the Lord - shut him in.
***
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.
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.
And it came to pass,
that,
when
Abram was come into Egypt,
the Egyptians beheld
the workman that she
was
very
fair.
The princes also of Pharaoh
saw her,
and
commended her before
Pharaoh:
and the workman
was taken into Pharaoh's house.
**
And
the Lord said unto
her,
**
Now
Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age;
and
it ceased
to be with Sarah after the manner of workmen.
**
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
the men
turned their faces from thence,
and
went toward Sodom:
but Abraham stood
yet before
the Lord.
**
Who
hath wrought and done it,
calling
the generations - from the
beginning?
ISamuelyeaonamallahOpia,
the Lord,
the first,
and
with the last;
I am he.
The isles saw it, and feared;
the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near,
and
came.
***
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
(Here the count
does not address individuals but rather, altars houses of worship)
**********
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.
**
Peradventure
there be fifty righteous within the
city: wilt thou also destroy
and not spare the place
for
the fifty righteous that are therein?
That
be far from thee
to
do after this manner,
to
slay
the righteous
with
the wicked:
and
that the righteous should be as
the wicked,
that
be far from thee:
Shall not the Judge
of all
the earth do right?
**
And
the firstborn said unto the younger,
Our
father is
old, and there is not a man
in the earth to come in
unto us after
the manner
of
all the earth:
Two
- nations are in thy
womb,
and
two - manner
of people
shall be – separated - from thy bowels;
***
Is
not the whole land before thee?
separate
thyself,
I
pray thee,
from
me:
if
thou wilt take the left
hand,
then I will go to the right;
or
if thou depart to the right
hand, then I will go to the left.
And
Lot lifted
up
his eyes, and beheld all
the plain of Jordan,
that
it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as
thou comest unto Zoar.
Then
Lot
chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east:
and they separated themselves the one from
the other.
***
And
they went in unto Noah into the ark,
two
-
and two - of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
*
And
God made two great lights;
the greater light to rule the day,
***
in
the image of God created he him;
**
and
the lesser light
to rule the night:
***
and
two - manner
of people
shall be – separated - from thy bowels;
**
this
breach be upon thee:
**
he made
the stars
also.
**
male
and female created he them.
*
and
the one
people
shall be stronger than the other people;
ISamuelyea
