The Divide

Who then, Sins?

Or

Congratulations it’s a Man

Again

And she again bare his brother Abel.

***

Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God,

to walk in his ways,

and to fear him.

*

He is the Rock,

his work is perfect:

for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth - and without iniquity,

just - and right is he.

*

Who gave Jacob for a spoil,

and Israel to the robbers?

*

And the Lord God planted a garden - eastward in Eden;

and there he put the man whom he had formed.

*

And the man said,

The workman whom thou gavest to be with me,

she (Eve) gave me of the tree, (Cain)

*

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived,

and bare Cain,

*

and God divided the light from the darkness.

*

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 said,

 I have gotten a man from the Lord.

*

and I did eat.

***

And the workman 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 said unto the workman,

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 God saw the light,

that it was good:

and God divided the light from the darkness.

**

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.

And the eyes of them both were opened,

and they knew - that they were naked;

***

For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations,

and his fury upon all their armies:

he hath utterly destroyed them,

he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

**

And he took unto him all these,

and divided them in the midst,

and laid each piece one against another:

**

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.

**

but the birds divided he not.

And when the fowls came down upon the carcases,

Abram drove them away.

**

Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases,

and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved,

and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll:

and all their host shall fall down,

as the leaf falleth off from the vine,

and as a falling fig - from the fig tree.

For my sword shall be bathed in heaven:

behold,

it shall come down upon

EDOM;

EDOMITES

e'-dum, e'-dum-its 'edhom, "red"; Edom:

 Idumea,

and upon the people of my curse,

to judgment.

***

and they sewed fig leaves together,

and made - themselves - aprons.

*

Who gave Jacob for a spoil,

and Israel to the robbers?

did not the Lord,

he against whom - we have sinned?

for they would not walk in his ways,

neither were they obedient unto his law.

Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger,

and the strength of battle:

and it hath set him on fire round about,

yet he knew not;

and it burned him,

yet he laid it not to heart.

***

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity?

curse God,

and die.

But he said unto her,

Thou speakest as one of the foolish workmen speaketh.

What?

shall we receive good at the hand of God,

and shall we not receive evil?

In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
