Now
the serpent
was more subtil
than
any beast
of the field which the Lord God had made.
And
he said
unto the workman,
Yea,
hath God said,
Ye shall
not eat of every
tree of the garden?
And the
woman
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,
Ye shall
not eat of it,
neither shall
ye touch
it,
lest ye
die.
We
may eat of the fruit of the trees of the

But of
the fruit of the tree which is

Ye shall not

of it,
neither
shall ye touch it,

The
book
of
the
generation
of
Immanuel
The
Christ,
the
son
of
David,
the
son
of
Abraham.
***
Unto
David
also
and
to
his
wife
did
the
Lord
God
make
coats
of
skins,
and
clothed them.
**
Now
all
this was done,
that
it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord
by
the
prophet
Isaiah
,
saying,
Behold,
a
virgin
shall
be with child,
and
shall
bring forth a son,
**
And
they
made
their father drink wine
that
night:
***
and they
shall
call
his
name
Immanuel,
which
being interpreted
is,
God
with us.
***
And
the Lord God said,
Behold,
the
man
is
become
as
one
of
us,
**
and
that
man
was perfect
and
upright,
and
one
that feared
God,
and
eschewed evil.
**
And
said
unto
them,
It
is
written,
My
house
shall
be called
the
house
of prayer;
but
ye
have
made
it
a
den
of thieves.
***
to
know
good
and
evil:
**
and
that
man
was
perfect
and
upright,
and
one
that
feared
God,
and
eschewed
evil.
***
For
he
performeth
the
thing that
is
appointed
for me:
and
many such things are with
him.
***
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:
Come,
let us
make our father drink wine,
and
we will lie with him,
***
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.
**
that we may preserve seed of our father.
**
And
Ruth said,
Entreat me
not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for
whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest,
I will lodge: thy people shall
be my people, and thy God my
God:
Where thou
diest, will I die, and there will I be buried:
the
Lord do
so to
me,
and
more also,
if
aught but
death
part thee and
me.
When
she saw that
she was stedfastly minded to go with her,
then
she left speaking unto
her.

Obed:
he is the father of Jesse, the father of
David.
Now these are the generations of Pharez:
Pharez
begat Hezron,
And
Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
And
Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
And
Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
And
Obed begat Jesse,
and Jesse begat David.
**
But thou
art holy, O
thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Our fathers
trusted in thee:
they trusted,
and thou didst deliver them.
They cried unto thee,
and were delivered:
they trusted in thee,
and were not confounded.
**
and spake,
saying,
Behold,
we are
thy bone and thy flesh.
Also in time past,
when
Saul was king over us,
thou
wast he that leddest out and
broughtest in
Israel:
and the Lord said to thee,
Thou shalt feed my people Israel,
and
thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
So all
the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron;
and
king David made
a league with them in Hebron before the
Lord:
and they anointed David king over Israel.
David was thirty years old when he began
to reign, and he reigned forty years.
**
For God
maketh
my
heart soft,
and
the
Almighty
troubleth
me:
Because
I
was not cut off
before
the
darkness,
neither hath
he
covered the darkness
from
my face.
Why,
seeing times
are not
hidden
from
the
Almighty,
do
they
that know him
not see
his
days?
**
But
the
thing that David had done
displeased
the
Lord
Edom.
***
Wherefore
hast
thou despised
the
commandment of
the Lord,
to
do evil in
his sight?
thou
hast killed Uriah the Hittite
with
the sword,
and
hast taken his wife to
be thy wife,
and
hast slain him with the sword
of the children of Ammon.
***
And
the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was
separated from him,
Lift up now
thine
eyes,
and
look
from
the place where thou art northward, and southward,
and eastward, and westward:
For all the
land which thou seest, to thee will
I
give it,
and
to thy seed
for ever.
**
Now therefore
the sword shall never depart from thine house;
because thou
hast despised me,
and
hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite
to be thy wife.
****
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Behold,
I
will raise up
evil against thee
out of thine own house,
and
I
will take thy
wives before thine eyes,
and
give them unto thy neighbour,
and
he shall
lie with
thy wives in the
sight of this sun.
For thou
didst it
secretly:
but I
will do this thing before all Israel,
and
before the sun.
****
And
David
said
unto Nathan,
I
have
sinned against the Lord.
And
Nathan
said unto David,
The
Lord also hath put away thy sin;
thou
shalt not die.
Howbeit,
because by
this
deed
thou
hast
given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord
to blaspheme,
**
And
the serpent said unto
the
woman,
Ye
shall not surely die:
***
the child also that
is born
unto thee shall surely die.
And
Nathan departed unto his house.
And
the Lord struck
the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and
it
was
very sick.
