********************
Now
the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.

And he said unto the workman,

Yea, hath God said,

Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
  And the

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 is in the midst of the garden,

Ye shall not eat of it,

neither shall ye touch it,
lest ye die.

We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,

Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch it,
lest ye die.



***
The book
of
the
generation
of
Immanuel
The Christ,
the
son
of
David,
the
son
of
Abraham.
***

Unto
David also
and
to
his wife
did the
Lord God
make
coats
of skins,
and
 clothed them.
**
Now
all this was done,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord
by
the
prophet
Isaiah ,
saying,

Behold,
a virgin
shall be with child,
and
shall bring forth a son,
**

And they
made their father drink wine
that night:
***


and they
shall
call
his
name Immanuel,
which being interpreted
is,
God with us.

***
And the Lord God said,
Behold,

the
man
is
become
as
one
of
us,
**
and
that man
was perfect
and upright,
and
one
that feared

God,

and
eschewed evil.
**

And
said unto
them,
It
is
written,
My house
shall be called
the
house of prayer;

but ye
have made
it
a
den of thieves.

***
to
know
good
and
evil:
**
and
that man
was perfect
and upright,
and
one
that feared
God,

and
eschewed evil.
***
For
he
performeth
the
thing that

is

appointed

for me:

and
many such things are with
him.

*** 
And the firstborn said unto the younger,
Our father is old,
and
there
is not a man in the earth to come in unto us
after the manner
of all the earth:
Come,
let us make our father drink wine,
and we will lie with him,
***
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.

**
that we may preserve seed of our father.

**
And Ruth said,

Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried:
the Lord do so to me,
and more also,
if aught but death part thee and me.
When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her,
then she left speaking unto her.

**
Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Now these are the generations of Pharez:
Pharez begat Hezron,
And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
And Obed begat Jesse,
 and Jesse begat David.

**
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Our fathers trusted in thee:

they trusted,

and thou didst deliver them.

They cried unto thee,
and were delivered:

they trusted in thee,
and were not confounded.

**
and spake,
saying,
Behold,
we are
thy bone and thy flesh.

Also in time past,
when Saul was king over us,
thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel:
 and the Lord said to thee,
Thou shalt feed my people Israel,

and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron;


and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord:

and they anointed David king over Israel.


David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
**

For God
maketh
my
heart soft,

and
the
Almighty
troubleth
me:

Because
I
was not cut off
 before
the
darkness,

neither hath
he
covered the darkness
from
my face.

Why,

seeing times
are not hidden
from
the Almighty,

do
they

that know him

not see
his days?
**

But
the thing that David had done

displeased
the
Lord Edom.  




***
Wherefore
hast thou despised
the
 commandment of the Lord,
to do evil in his sight?
thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword,

and hast taken his wife to be thy wife,
and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

***   
  And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him,
Lift up now thine eyes,
and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
  For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it,
and to thy seed for ever.
**
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house;
because thou hast despised me,
and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
****
    
Thus saith
the
Lord,

Behold,

I

will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house,

and I
will take thy wives before thine eyes,
and give them unto thy neighbour,
and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

For thou didst it secretly:
but I will do this thing before all Israel,

and before the sun.
****

And
David
said
unto Nathan,
I
have sinned against the Lord.

And
Nathan said unto David,

The Lord also hath put away thy sin;

thou shalt not die.

Howbeit,

because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme,
**
And the serpent said unto
the
woman,
Ye shall not surely die:

***
the  child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

And Nathan departed unto his house.
And the Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
