In the beginning
God created
the heaven and the earth.
And the earth
was without form, and void; and darkness
was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
waters.
And God said,
Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the
light, that
it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called
the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning
were the first day.
And God said,
Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the
firmament, and divided the waters which were under
the firmament from the waters which were above
the firmament: and it was so.
And God called
the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And God said,
Let the waters
under the heaven be gathered together unto one
place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God called
the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the
waters
called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
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.
And the earth
brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree
yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that
it was good.
And her brother and her mother - said, Let the damsel abide with us - a few days, - at
- the least ten; - after that she
shall go.
And
the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or
deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord?
Now
there-fore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
Who-so-ever therefore shall break one of – these - least commandments, and shall teach - men so, - he
shall
be called the least in the kingdom of
heaven: - but who-so-ever shall do and teach - them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
And
the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and
all thy house – in-to the ark; for thee have I
seen
righteous be-fore me - in this generation.
And
he be-lieved in the Lord;
and he counted it to him for righteousness.
For
I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case - enter into the kingdom of heaven.
But of the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not
eat of it:
For in
- six days the Lord made heaven and earth, - the sea, - and all that in them is, and
rested the - seventh
day: where-fore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, . . .
And it
shall be upon Aaron's fore-head, -that Aaron - may bear
the – iniquity - of the holy things, - which the children
of Israel shall hallow
in all their holy gifts; - and
it shall be always upon his forehead, that they - may be accepted
before the Lord.
And thou
shalt embroider the
coat of fine linen, - and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou
shalt make the girdle of
needlework.
And for
Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them
girdles, - and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.
.
. . and hallow-ed it.
And Enoch walked
with God:
And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Ra-am-ah,
and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
*****
And
Enoch walked with God: and he was not;
for God - took him.
*****
That the sons of
God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of
all which they chose. . . . and also - after
that, when the sons of God came in unto the - daughters - of
men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
*****
And Cush begat - Nimrod: he began to be a mighty - one - in the earth.
He was a mighty hunter be-fore the Lord:
And the
Lord said unto Satan, Whence come-st thou?
*****
and
God divided the light - from - the darkness.
And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide - the day - from the night;
*****
Then
Satan -answered
the - Lord, and said, From - going - to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
There-fore
the Lord God sent him forth - from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence - he was taken.
Thou
Honour thy father - and thy mother: that thy
days may be long upon the land which the
Lord - thy God giveth thee.
Thou shalt not
kill.
Thou shalt not
commit adultery.
Thou shalt not
steal.
Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Thou shalt not
covet - thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant,
nor his maid-servant,
nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any
thing that is thy neighbour's.
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they
re-moved, - and stood afar off.
And they
said unto Moses, Speak thou
with us, and we will hear: - but let not God speak with us, - lest we
die.
Ye have
heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not
kill; and who-so-ever shall kill shall be in danger
of
the judgment:
And
they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
The troops of
Tema looked, the companies of Sheba -
waited for them. - They were confounded because they
had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed. For now ye are
nothing; ye see my casting down,
and are afraid.
He has waged cruel war against human nature it-self, violating it's most sacred
rights of life and liberty in the
persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying
them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur
miserable death in their transportation thither.
The
American Declaration of Independence.
Also the Lord
was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in
thither.
But
Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth be-fore
thee, he
shall go in thither: en-courage him: for he shall cause Is-ra-el
to
inherit it.
And
he RA
put forth his hand, and caught it,
and it became a rod in his hand:
And
Moses rose
up,
and his minister Joshua: and Moses - went up into the
mount of God.
But
I
say unto you, That who-so-ever
is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and who-so-ever shall say to his brother, Raca,
shall be in danger of the council:
but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
And
I
have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children
of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation,
and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: - that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
And
Moses, and Aaron,
and all the congregation of the children
of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all - that the Lord commanded
Moses concerning the Levites, so did
the children of Israel unto them.
Therefore
if thou bring thy gift to the
altar, and there remember-est - that thy brother hath ought against thee;
Leave
there - thy gift
before the altar, and go thy way;
first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
