An God

an every

tree,

For God

eat thereof,

shall be opened,

shall

be

as gods,

 

knowing good

 

and evil.

**

 

I

mine eyes

I

made a covenant

with

mine eyes; . . .

was not a man

to

till

the ground

from

whence

he

was taken.

**

An Abel

was a

keeper of sheep,

 

but Cain

was a

tiller

of

the ground.

*

 

An the Spirit

of

God

moved upon the

face

of

the waters.

**

 

So

the shipmaster

came

to

him,

an said unto

him,

 

What meanest thou,

 

O sleeper?

 

arise,

 

call upon

thy God,

 

if

so

be

that God

 

will think

upon

us,

**

 

An the Lord

said unto

him,

What is that

in

thine hand?

 

An he said,

A rod.

 

And he said,

Cast it on

the

ground.

And he cast

it on

the

ground,

and it

became

a

serpent;

 

an Moses

fled from

before it.

 

An the Lord

said unto

Moses,

Put forth

thine hand,

 

an take

it

by

the tail.

 

An he

put forth

his hand,

an caught it,

 

an it

became

a rod

in

his hand:

may believe

that

the

Lord God

of

their fathers,

 

the God

of

Abraham,

 

the God

of

Isaac,

 

an the God

of

Jacob,

hath appeared unto

thee.

An it

came

to pass,

 

when he

was come near

to

enter into

Egypt,

that he

said

unto

Sarai

his wife,

 

Behold

now,

 

I know

that thou

art

a

fair woman

to

look upon:

 

**

An

her

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 isin

the midst

of

the garden,

 

God

hath said,

Ye

shall not eat

of

it,

either

shall ye touch

 

it,

lest ye die.

And the serpent

said

unto the woman,

Ye

shall not surely die:

 

For God

doth know

that in

the day ye eat thereof,

then

your eyes

shall be opened,

an ye shall

be

as gods,

knowing good

an evil.

 

**

 

These are

the generations

of

She heavens

that the

Lord God

made he earth

and She heavens,

**

That the

sons

of

God saw

the daughters

of

men

 

that they

were fair;

an they

 

took them

wives

of

all which they chose.

    

An the

Lord

said,

My spirit

shall not

always

strive

with man,

 

for

that he

also is flesh:

 

yet his

days

shall be

an hundred

and twenty years.

    

. . . and also after that,

when the sons

of

God came

in unto

the daughters

of men,

an they bare

children

to

them,

the same

became

mighty men

which were

of old,

men of renown.

 

An God saw

that the

wickedness

of

man

was great

in the earth,

 

and that every

imagination

of

the thoughts

of

his heart

was only evil

continually.

 

An it

repented

the

Lord

that he

had made man

on

the earth,

an it

grieved

him

at

his heart.

 

An the Lord

said,

I

will

destroy man

 

whom I

have created

from

the face

of

the earth;

both man,

 an beast,

 

an the

creeping thing,

 

an the

fowls

of the

air;

for it

repenteth

me

that I

have made them.

 

***

Except

the

Lord of hosts

had left

unto

us

a very small

remnant,

 

we

should

have been

as Sodom,

 

an we

should

have been

like unto

Gomorrah.

***

And God

said,

Let us

make

man

in

our image,

after our likeness:

***

 

For he

is

not a man,

 

as

I am,

 

that I

should answer

him,

 

an we

should come together

in judgment.

Neither is there

any

days man

betwixt us,

 

that might lay

his hand upon

us both.

**

that we

perish not.

***

 

why then

should

I

think upon a maid?

 

For what

portion

of

God

is

there

from above?

 

an what

inheritance

of

the

Almighty

from on high?

**

from you:

 

yea,

when

ye

make many prayers,

 

I

 not hear:

 

your

hands

are

full

of

blood.

 

Wash you,

 

make you clean;

 

put away

the

evil

of

 

your doings

 

from

before

mine eyes;

 

cease to do evil;

shall be

for meat.

There

is not

a

second;

 

yea,

child

is there

no end

of

all his labour;

neither

is his

eye

satisfied with riches;

 

neither saith

he,

 

For whom

do

I

labour,

my

This is also

vanity,

a

sore travail.

An behold

another beast,

 

a second,

An Rachel

With great wrestlings

wrestled with

my

I

have prevailed:

 

an she

called

his name

Naphtali.

*

And Zilpah

 

Leah's

 

maid bare

Jacob

a second

son.

 

An Leah

said,

Happy

That the sons

of

God

saw

the daughters

of

men

that they

 

were fair;

 

an they

took them

 

wives

called

his name Asher.

An God

remembered Noah,

that God

remembered Abraham,

And God

remembered Rachel,

 

an God

hearkened

to

her,

 

an opened

her

womb.

****

 

an she

conceived,

and bare Cain,

and said,

 

I

have gotten

a

man

from

he Lord.

****

 

An she

conceived,

an bare a son;

 

and said,

 

God

hath taken away

my

reproach:

 

An she

called his name

Joseph;

 

an said,

**

 

 

For God,

said she,

 

hath appointed

me another

seed

instead

of

Abel,

whom Cain slew.

****  

 

The Lord

 

shall

add to

me

another

son.

**

 

And Mizpah;

for he

said,

 

The Lord watch

between

me

 

and thee,

 

when

we

are absent

one

from

another.

 

***

And it came to pass,

 when Rachel

had born

Joseph,

 

that Jacob

 

said

 

unto Laban,

 

Send me away,

 

that

I

may go unto

mine own place,

 

an

 to

my country.

These

generations

of the

heavens

and

of

the earth

they were created,

 

in the

day

that the

Lord God

made

the earth

 

and she

heavens,

We

took

sweet

counsel together,

 

and walked

unto the

house of God

in company.

**

 

And Cain talked

with Abel his brother:

and it came to pass,

when they were in the field,

that Cain

rose up against

 

Abel

his brother,

an slew him.

**

 

Let death

seize upon them,

 

an let them

go down

quick

into hell:

 

for wickedness

isin their

dwellings,

 

an among them.

 

As for

me,

 

I

will call upon

God;

 

an the Lord

shall save

me.

 

**

 

After this

I

beheld,

 

**

For it

was not an enemy

that reproached me;

 

then I

could

have borne

it:

 

neither was

it

he that

hated me

that did magnify

 

himself

 

against me;

 

then I

would have

hid

myself from him:

***

 

 

But there

went up

a

mist

from the earth,

and watered

the

whole face

of

the ground.

*

 

But unto Cain

an to his

offering

he

had not respect.

*

 

But it

was

thou,

a

man

mine equal,

 

my

guide,

 

an mine

acquaintance.

An the woman

 

said unto

serpent,

took sweet counsel

together,

Let death

go down quick

into hell:

 

for wickedness

is in their dwellings,

And we

took

 

all his

cities

at

that time,

 

an utterly destroyed

the men,

 

an the women,

 

an the little ones,

of

every city,

left none

to

remain:

 

Only the cattle

we

took

for a prey unto

ourselves,

an the spoil

of

the cities which

we took.

*

 

And we took

all his cities

at

that time,

was not

a city

we took

not

from them,

threescore cities,

of

Argob,

Then he returned,

Therefore

How goodly
