And

the

waters

prevailed

exceedingly

upon

the

earth;

and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail;

and

the

mountains

were

covered.

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth,

both

of

fowl,

and

of

cattle,

and

of

beast,

and

of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth,

and

every man:

 **

And

the

Lord God

caused

a

deep sleep

to

fall

upon Adam,

***

and

Noah

only

remained alive,

***

And

God

divided the light from the darkness.

**

and

the

darkness

he

called

Night..

***

and

the

fruit tree yielding fruit

after

his

kind,

whose seed

is in it

self,

upon the earth:

***

So God

created

man

in

his

own image,

**

and

he

took

one of his

ribs,

**

Make an agreement

with

me

by a

present,

and

come

out to me:

and

eat ye

every

one of his

vine,

and

every

one of his

fig tree,

**

For

my

people have committed

two evils;

they

have forsaken

me

the

fountain

of

living waters,

and

hewed

them

out cisterns,

broken cisterns,

that can

hold no water.

***

and

drink

ye

every

one

the

waters

of his

own cistern;

***

For

the

Lord

hath poured

out

upon

you

the

spirit

of deep sleep,

and

hath

closed your eyes:

the

prophets

and

your rulers,

the

seers

hath

he

covered.

***

and

closed

up

the

flesh

instead

thereof;

**

And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent;

and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

***

And

the

rib,

which

the

Lord God

had taken

from man,

made

he

a

woman,

 and

brought

her

unto the

man.

***

Now

Abraham

and

Sarah

were old

and

well stricken in age;

and

it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

Therefore

Sarah laughed

Within

herself,

**

Fear not,

Abram:

I am

Thy

shield,

and

thy

exceeding

great reward.

***

saying,

After

I am

waxed old

shall

I

have pleasure,

**

For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

***

my

lord

being

old also?

**

And the Lord appeared unto

him

in

the plains of Mamre:

and

he

sat in the

tent door

in the

heat

of

the day;

And

he

lift up his eyes

and

looked,

and,

lo,

*

Now

when

Job's

three friends

heard of all this

evil

that was come upon

him,

*

three men stood by him:

and

when

he

saw them,

he

ran to meet

them

from

the tent door,

and

bowed himself

toward

the

ground,

**

So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days

and seven nights,

and

none spake a word unto him: for they

 saw that his grief was very great.

***

And said,

My Lord,

if now I have found favour

in

thy sight,

pass not away,

I

pray thee,

from thy servant:

***

And

the

Lord

said

unto Abraham,

Wherefore did Sarah laugh,

saying,

Shall I

of

a surety bear a child,

which am old?

**

and,

lo,

Sarah

thy

wife

shall have a son.

And Sarah heard

it in

the

tent door,

which was

behind

him.

***

For God,

said

she,

hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

***

Is

any thing

too

hard

for the Lord?

At

the

time appointed

I

will return unto thee, according to the time of life,

and

Sarah

shall

have a son.

**

***

When

Judah

saw

her,

***

They

are

exalted

for

a

little while,

but

are

gone

and

brought low;

they

are

taken

out

of

the way

as

all other,

**

But

all other

flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

And

for

these

ye

shall be unclean:

whosoever toucheth

the

carcase

of

them

shall be unclean until

the

even.

***

My

flesh is clothed

with

worms

and

clods of dust;

my

skin is broken,

and

become loathsome.

***

And

they

shall go forth,

and

look upon

the

carcases

of

the

men

that have

transgressed against

me:

**

for their worm shall not die,

neither shall their fire be quenched;

and

they

shall be an abhorring unto

all flesh.

**

And he slept

and

dreamed

the

second time:

and,

behold,

seven

ears of corn came

up

upon

one stalk,

rank

and good.

***

and

cut off

as

the

tops

of

the

ears of corn.

And

if

it

be not

so

now,

**

Who

shall

offer

it

before the Lord,

and

make an atonement

for

her;

**
And

now art thou cursed from the earkh, which hath opened

her mouth

to receive

thy

brother's blood

from

thy

hand;

***

and

she

shall be cleansed

from

the

issue

of

her

blood.

***

For,

behold,

the

Lord

cometh out

of

his

place

to

punish

the

inhabitants

of

the

earth

for

their inequity:

the

earth

also

shall

disclose

her blood,

and

shall no more cover

her slain.

In

that day

the

Lord

with

his sore

and

great

and

strong sword

shall

punish leviathan

the

piercing serpent,

even

leviathan

that

crooked serpent;

and

 he

shall

slay

the

dragon

that

 is in

the

sea.

**

O

earth,

cover

not

thou

my

blood,

and

let

my cry

have

no place.

Also

now,

behold,

my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.

My friends scorn me:

but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

O

that

one

might plead

for

a

man

with

God,

as a

man pleadeth

for

his neighbour!

When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.

***

who

will make

me

a liar,

and

make

my

speech

nothing worth?

***

and

into

the

tops

of the

ragged rocks,

for

fear

of

the

Lord,

and

for

the

glory

of

his

majesty,

when

he

ariseth

to

shake terribly

the earth.

Cease

ye

from man,

whose breath

is in

his

nostrils:

for

wherein

is he

to

be

accounted

of?

***

he

thought

her

to be

an

harlot;

***

And

Rebekah lifted up

her eyes,

and when she saw Isaac,

**

Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

But

the

dove

found no rest for the sole of

her

foot,

and

she

returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the

face

of

the

whole earth:

then

he

put forth

his

hand,

and

took her,

and

pulled her in unto him into the ark.

And

he

stayed yet other seven days;

and

again

he

sent forth

the dove

out

of

the ark;

***

His

substance

also

was

 seven thousand sheep,

and

three thousand camels,

and

five hundred yoke of oxen,

and

five hundred

she

asses,

and

a very great household;

so

that

this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

*

The Chaldeans

made out three bands,

and

fell upon the camels,

and

have carried them away,

**

Mesopotamia,

unto the city 

of 

Nahor.

*

She

lighted

off

the

camel.

**

And God

said,

Let us

make man

in our image,

after

our

likeness:

**

This

is

the

book

of the

generations of Adam.

In

the day

that God

created man,

in

the likeness

of

God made

he him;

*

And Adam

lived an hundred

and

thirty years,

and

begat a son

in

his

own likeness,

after

his image;

and

called his name

Seth:

***

For

she

had

said

unto the servant,

What man is this that walketh in the field to

meet us?

And the servant had said,

It is

my

master:

therefore

she

took a veil,

and

covered

herself.

**

because

she

had

covered

her

face.

**

Therefore

hell hath enlarged

herself,

and

opened her mouth

without measure:

and

their glory,

and

their multitude,

and

their pomp,

and

he

that rejoiceth,

shall descend

into

it.

And

the

mean man

shall

be

brought down,

and

the

mighty man

shall

be

humbled,

and

the

eyes

 of

the

lofty

shall

be

humbled:

***

The

blessing

of

him

that was ready

to

perish

came upon

me:

and

I

caused

the

widow's heart

to

sing for joy.

I

put

on

righteousness,

and

it

clothed

me:

my

judgment

was

as a robe

and

a

diadem.

I

was eyes

to

the

blind,

and

feet

was

I

to

the

lame.

I

was

a

father

to

the

poor:

and

the

cause

which

I

knew not

I

searched

out.

And

I

brake

the

jaws

of

the

wicked,

and

plucked

the

spoil

out

of

his

teeth.

Then

I

said,

I

shall die

in

my

nest,

and

I

shall

multiply

my

days

as

the

sand.

***

And

he

turned

unto

her

by

the way,

 and

said,

Go to,

I

pray

thee,

**

But with thee will

I

establish my covenant;

and

thou shalt

come into

the ark,

***

let

me

come in

unto

thee;

**

And

Terah

took

Abram

his

son,

and

Lot

the

son

of

Haran

his

son's

son,

and

Sarai

his

daughter in law,

***

(for

he

knew not

that

she

was

his

daughter in law.)

**

And

she

said,

What wilt thou give

me,

that thou

mayest come

in

unto

me?

**

And

Abel,

he

also

brought

of

the

firstlings

of

his

flock

and

of

the

fat thereof.

**

And

Lot

also,

which went with Abram,

had

flocks,

and

herds,

and

tents.

***

And

he

said,

I

will

send thee

a

kid

from

the

flock.

And

she

 said,

Wilt thou give

me

a

pledge,

till

thou

send it?

**

If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge,

thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

**

And

when

the

sun

was going down,

a

deep sleep fell upon Abram;

and,

lo,

an

horror

of

great darkness fell upon

him.

***

And

he

said,

What pledge

shall

I

give

thee?

And

she

said,

Thy

signet,

and

thy

bracelets,

and

thy

staff

**

But

Put

forth

thine hand

now,

They

were

all

as ham ed

of

a

people

that

could not profit

them,

nor

be

an help

nor

profit,

but

a

shame,

and

also

a

reproach.

**

And

he

gave

it

her,

and

came in unto

her,

and

she

conceived

by

him.

******

For

thou hast

said

in

thine

heart,

I

will ascend

into

heaven,

I

will sit

also

upon

the

mount

of

the

congregation,

in

the

sides

of

the

north:

**

Dead things

are

formed

from

under

the

waters,

and

the

inhabitants

thereof.

Hell

is

naked before him,

and

destruction

hath

no covering.

He

                          stretcheth

out

the

north

over

the

empty place,

and

hangeth

the

earth upon nothing.

***

I

will ascend above

the

heights

of the

clouds;

I

will be like

the

most High.

Yet

thou

shalt be

brought down to hell,

to

the sides

of

the

pit.
