But man
dieth, and wasteth away
***
And 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.
***
yea
yea, man giveth
up the ghost, and where is he? As the waters
fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: So man lieth
down, and riseth not: till the heavens
be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out
of their sleep.
*****
And
the Spirit of God (So) moved
upon the face of the waters.
***
So
God created man in his own image,
*****
There were giants
in the earth in those days;
**
he made
the -- stars - also.
*
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth,
And to rule
over the day - and over the night,
*
and to divide the light
from the darkness:
and God saw that it was good.
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 also
-- after that,
*****
And to Seth,
to him also
- there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then - began men
to call upon the
name of the Lord.
*
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 God
said, Let us make man in our image, - after our likeness: and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
***
And the Lord
God said unto the serpent, Because
thou hast done this, thou art cursed
above all cattle, and above every beast of
the field; upon thy belly
shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
And I will
put enmity between thee and the work-man, and
between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
***
And he
said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant
of servants shall he
be unto his brethren.
And he
said, Blessed be the Lord
God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
God shall
enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents
of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
***
And they
said, Go to, let us build us a city -
and a tower,
whose top may reach unto heaven;
and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole
earth.
And the Lord came down to see the city
and the tower, which the children
of men builded.
And the Lord said, Behold, the people
is one,
and they have
all one language; and this they begin to
do: and now nothing will be restrained from them,
which they have imagined to do.
***
And the
Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
***
So the Lord scattered them abroad
- from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they
- left - off to build the city.
Therefore is the
name of it called
Babel; because
the Lord did - there confound the language of all the earth: and from - thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon
the face of all the earth.
These are the generations of Shem:
***
And the earth was without form, and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
*
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 to rule
over the day - and over the night,
and to divide
the light from the darkness:
*
And when Abram
heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants,
born in his own house, three hundred
and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
And he
divided himself
against them, he
and his
servants, by night,
*
These are the generations
of Shem: Shem was an hundred years
old, and begat Arphaxad two years after
the flood:
And Shem
lived after he begat Arphaxad
five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
And
Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
And
Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah
four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
And
Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
***
And
unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was
the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.. . .
***
And
Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Hadoram
also, and Uzal, and Diklah,
And
Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
And
Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
Shem,
Arphaxad, Shelah,
Eber,
Peleg, Reu,
Serug,
Nahor, Terah,
Abram;
the same is Abraham.
***
And Adam lived an hundred
and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness,
- after his image;
and called his name Seth:
***
Now
these are the generations of Terah:
Terah begat Abram,
Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
***
And Cush begat Nimrod:
he
began to be a mighty one
in the earth.
He was a mighty hunter - before the Lord: wherefore it
is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel,
***
And Haran died before
his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the
Chaldees.
***
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 Abram and Nahor took them wives:
***
And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both
their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness
of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
***
.
. . Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, . . .
***
And
yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not
the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
***
And
Abram and Nahor took them wives: . . .the
name of Abram's wife
was Sarai; . . .But Sarai was
barren; she had no child.
