And
Adam

and
said,
I
have
gotten
a
man
from
the
Lord.
**
And she again . . .
.

she
conceived,

. . .
.

And
Abel was a keeper

And
Abel was a keeper

but
Cain
was

**
And
the
Spirit
of
God
moved
upon
the
face
of
the waters.
And God said,
Let there be light:
and
there was
light.
**
and
the
fruit
tree
yielding
fruit
after
his
kind,
**
God
created
the
heaven
and
the earth.
***
whose
seed
isin

**
Speak ye
comfortably
to
Jerusalem,
and
cry
unto
her,
that
her
warfare
is
accomplished,
that
her
inequity
is
pardoned:

So God

Thus

And
the
Lord
God said,
It

not

***
Jacob
was
left

So
God
created

Therefore
said
I,
Look
away
from
me:
I
will
weep bitterly,
labour
not
to
comfort
me,
because
of
the
spoiling
of
the
daughter
of
my people.
For
it
is
a
day
of
trouble,
and
of treading down,
and
of perplexity
by
the
Lord
God
of
hosts
in
the
valley
of vision,
**
Am
I
a
sea,
or
a whale,
that
thou
settest
a
watch
over
me?
When
I
say,
My
bed
shall
comfort
me,
my
couch
shall
ease
my
complaint;
Then
thou
scarest
me
with
dreams,
and
terrifiest
me
through
visions:
So that
my
soul
chooseth
strangling,
and
death rather
than
my life.
I loathe
it;
I
would
not
live
alway:
**
for
in
the day
that
thou
eatest
thereof
thou
shalt surely die.
**
let
me alone;
for
my days
are
vanity.

breaking
down
the walls,
***
and
he
planted
a vineyard:
***
For
the
vineyard
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
is
the
house
of Israel,
***
Because
thou
hast
forgotten
the God
of
thy
salvation,
and hast
not
been mindful
of
the rock
of
thy
strength,
therefore
shalt thou
plant
pleasant plants,
and shalt
set it
with strange slips:
In the
day
shalt thou make
thy
plant to grow,
and in the
morning
shalt thou
make thy seed
to
flourish:
but
the harvest shall
be a
heap
in the day
of
grief
and of desperate sorrow.
**
and
the
men
of
Judah
his
pleasant
plant:
and
he
looked
for
judgment,
but behold
oppression;
for
righteousness,
but behold
a cry.
**
and
of crying
to
the
mountains.
**
And
Abraham
was
old,
and
well
stricken
in
age:
and
the
Lord
had blessed
Abraham
in all
things.
And
Abraham
said
unto
his
eldest servant
of
his
house,
that
ruled
over
all that he had,
Put,
I
pray
thee,
thy
hand
under
my thigh:
And
I
will
make thee
swear
by
the
Lord,
the
God
of
heaven,
and
the
God
of
the
earth,
that
thou
shalt not
take
a
wife
unto my son
of
the
daughters
of
the
Canaanites,
among
whom I
dwell:
**
And
when
he
saw
that
he
prevailed
not
against
him,
he
touched
the
hollow
of
his
thigh;
and
the hollow
of
Jacob's
thigh
was
out
of
joint,
**
I
am
poured
out like water,
and
all my
bones
are
out
of joint:
my
heart
is
like wax;
it is
melted
in
the midst
of
my bowels.
My
strength
is
dried
up like a potsherd;
**
So
went Satan forth
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord,
and
smote
Job
with
sore boils
from
the
sole
of
his foot
unto
his
crown.
And
he took
him
a
potsherd
to scrape
himself
withal;
and
he
sat
down among
the ashes.
***
and
my
tongue
cleaveth
to
my
jaws;
and
thou hast
brought
me
into
the dust
of
death.
For
dogs
have
compassed
me:
the assembly
of
the
wicked
have enclosed
me:
they
pierced
my
hands
and
my feet.
***
Then
the priest shall charge
the
woman
with an
oath
of
cursing,
and
the priest
shall
say unto
the
woman,
The
Lord
make
thee a
curse
and
an
oath
among
thy people,
when
the
Lord
doth
make thy thigh
to
rot,
and
thy belly
to
swell;
***
as
he
wrestled
with
him.
And
he
said,
Let
me go,
for
the
day
breaketh.
**
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?
**
And
he
said,
I
will
not let
thee
go,
except
thou
bless
me.
**
And
I
will
put enmity
between
thee
and
the woman,
and
between
thy
seed
and
her seed;
it
shall
bruise
thy head,
and
thou
shalt
bruise
his
heel.
**
And
he said
unto
him,
What
is
thy name?
And
he
said,
Jacob.
And
he
said,
Thy
name
shall
be
called
no
more
Jacob,
but Israel:
**
Rebekah
came
out,
who
was born
to
Bethuel,
son
of Milcah,
the
wife of Nahor,
Abraham's
brother,
***
as a prince
hast thou
power
with
God
**
And Isaac brought
her
into
his mother Sarah's tent,
and took Rebekah,
and
she
became his wife;
***
and with men,
and hast
prevailed.
And Jacob asked
him,
and said,
Tell me,
I
pray thee,
thy name.
And he said,
Wherefore
is it
that thou
dost ask
after my name?
And he blessed
him
there.
And Jacob called
the name
of
the
place Peniel:
for
I
have seen
God
face to face,
and my life
is
preserved.
**
And
God
set
them
in
the
firmament
of
the
heaven
to
give
light
upon
the earth,
**
And
to
rule
over
the
day
and
to
divide
the
light
from
the darkness:
and
God saw
that it
was
good.
**
in
the
image
of
God
created
he
him;
***
and
let
them
have
dominion
over
the
fish
of
the
sea,
**
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.
And
God
blessed
them,
and
God
said
unto
them,
Be
fruitful,
and
multiply,
and
replenish
the
earth,
and
subdue
it:
Samuel
