Woe

unto

them

that join

house to house,

that lay

field to field,

till

there

be

no place,

that they

may

be

placed

alone

in

the

midst of the earth!

***

And God said,

Let us

make man

in

our image,

after

our likeness:

**

and

the

fruit tree   

yielding fruit

after

his

kind,

whose seed

is in itself,

***

So

God

created

man

in

his

 own image,

**

And

God

called the light

Day,

**

 and

the

darkness he called

Night.

***

in

the

image

of

God

created

he

*

but

for

Adam

there

was not found an help meet

for

him.

*

I

will make

him

an

help meet

for

him.

*

him;

male and female

created

he

them.

**

And

God said,

Let the

waters

bring forth abundantly the

moving creature

that

hath

life,

***

And

out of the ground

the

Lord God

formed

every beast of the field,

and

every fowl of the air;

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 Shem

and

Japheth took a garment,

and

laid it upon both their shoulders,

and

went backward,

**

And

he said,

Blessed be

the

Lord God

of

Shem;

and

Canaan

shall be his servant.

**

And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn,

and

Heth,

And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

  And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite:

and afterward were the families of

the

Canaanites

spread abroad.

**

And

the sons

of

Ham;

Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

And

Cush begat Nimrod:

he

began

to be a mighty one in the earth.

***

The children

of

Shem;

Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud,

and

Aram.

And

the children of Aram;

Uz, . . .

**

And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly,

after

their kind,

and

every winged fowl after

his kind:

**

male and female

created

he

them.

**

By these

were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue,

after

their families,

in

their nations.

***

There

was a man in the land of Uz,

whose name was

Job;

and

that man

was

perfect

and

upright,

and

one

that

feared God,

and

eschewed evil.

And

there

were born unto him seven sons

**

And Lamech took unto him two wives:

the name of the one was Adah, and

the name of the other Zillah.

And Zillah,

she also

bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

***

and

three daughters.

**

And

it

was

so,

when

the days

of

their feasting were gone about,

that Job

sent

and

sanctified

them,

and

rose up

early in the morning,

and

offered

burnt offerings

according

to

the

number of them all:

for Job

said,

It

may

be

that my

sons

have sinned,

and

cursed

God

in

their hearts.

***

and

God

saw that it was good.

***

Thus did Job continually.
