And

the

Lord God

formed man

of the

dust

of

the ground,

*

And Adam knew

Eve

his wife;

and

she

conceived,

and

bare Cain,

and said,

I

have gotten a man

from

the

Lord.

*

And

I

will bless her,

and give thee a son also of her:

yea,

I

will bless her,

and

she

shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

**

And the

Lord God

said,

It is

not good

that the man should be alone;

I

will make

him an

help meet

for him.

And

out of

the ground

the

Lord God

formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air;

and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them:

and whatsoever Adam called every living creature,

that was the name thereof.

***

And Cain knew

his wife;

and

she

conceived,

and

bare Enoch:

*

Therefore shall a man leave

his father and his mother,

and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

And they were both naked,

the man and his wife,

and were not as ham ed.

**

And

God

said,

Let the earkh 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 is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah,

*

the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

*

And Adam

knew his wife

again;

and

she

bare a son,

and

called

his

name

 Seth:

**

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 to Seth,

**

And the name of the second river is Gihon:

the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

**

and

the darkness

he called Night.

***

and

he called

his name

Enos:

then began men to call upon the name of the

Lord.

***

his

father

and

his mother,

and shall cleave unto his wife:

and

they

shall be one flesh.

**

and

he

builded a city,

and called the name of the city,

after the name of his son, Enoch.

*

Adam,

Sheth, Enosh,

     Kenan, Mahalaleel, Jered,

Henoch,

Methuselah, Lamech,

**

And unto Enoch was born Irad: and

:Irad begat Mehujael:

and Mehujael begat Methusael:

and Methusael begat Lamech.

And Enoch walked with God: . .

**

she was taken out of Man.

**

. . . and he was not;

***

for God

took

him.

*

God created

he   

        him;   

*  

male and female

created

he

them.

**

And Noah went forth,

and his sons,

and his wife,

and

his sons'

wives with him:

**

Unto

Shem

also,

the father of all the children of Eber,

the brother of Japheth

the elder,

*

And

Noah

began

to be an husbandman,

and

he

planted a vineyard:

***

Africa Sings

And Arphaxad begat Salah;

and Salah 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,

And Hadoram,

and Uzal,

and Diklah,

And Obal,

and Abimael,

and Sheba,

And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab:

all these were the sons of Joktan.

And their dwelling was from Mesha,

as thou

goest unto Sephar

a mount

of

the east.

These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

***

And the

Lord God

took

the man,

and

put

him

into the garden

of

Eden to dress it

and to keep it.

even to

him

were children born.

The

children

of

Shem;

Elam,

and Asshur,

and Arphaxad,

and Lud,

and Aram.

  And the children of Aram;

Uz,

and Hul,

and Gether,

and Mash.

**

to

him also

there

was born a son;

*

There

was a man in the land of

Uz,

whose name was

Job;

and that man

was perfect

*

Job's

three friends heard

of

all this

evil

that was come upon

him,

they

came

every one

from his own place;

*

Eliphaz the Temanite,

upright

*

Bildad the Shuhite

that feared God,

*

Zophar the Naamathite

eschewed evil.

the haughty people of the earth do languish.

The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;

because

they

have transgressed the laws,

changed the ordinance,

broken the everlasting covenant.

**

And the fourth river

is

Euphrates.

*

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

said

unto him,

*

And she said to the king, It was a true report that

I heard

in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came,

and mine eyes had seen it:

and,

behold,

the half was not told me:

thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

Where art thou?

And he said,

I

heard thy voice in the garden,

and

I

was afraid, . . .

because

**

And they were both naked, the man and his wife,

and

were not as ham ed.

**

And

Lot

said unto them,

Oh,

not

so,

my Lord:

***

Behold now,

thy servant hath found grace in thy sight,

and

thou hast

magnified thy mercy,

which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life;

and

I

cannot escape to

the

mountain,

lest some evil

take me,

and

I die:

Behold now,

this city is near to flee unto,

and

it is

a little one:

Oh,

let me escape thither,

(is it not a little one?)

and

my soul shall live.

  **

And

he said unto him,

**

If thou

doest well,

shalt thou not be

accepted?

**

See,

I

have

accepted thee

concerning this thing also,

that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.

***

Thy sun shall no more go down;

neither shall thy moon withdraw itself:

for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Thy people also

shall be

all righteous:

 they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting,

the work of my hands,

that

I

may be glorified.

A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation:

I

the Lord

will hasten it in his time.

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
