And Cain knew

his wife;

 and she conceived,

and bare Enoch:

 

and he

builded a city,

and called the name of the city,

after the name

of

his son,

Enoch.

*

And Enoch walked with God:

*

Am I

my brother's keeper?

 

*

 

and

 

he was not;

*

for

God

took him.

 

*

 And God

Spake

unto Noah,

saying,

Go forth of the ark,

*

And

out

of

the ground

 

made

the

Lord God

to

grow every tree

that is

pleasant to the sight,

and good for food;

*

Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee,

 

of

all flesh,

 

both of fowl,

and of cattle,

 

and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth;

that they

may breed abundantly

in

the earth,

 

and be fruitful,

and multiply upon the earth.

 

And Noah

went forth,

 

and his sons,

and his wife,

and his sons'

wives

with him:

*

And all the days of Noah were nine hundred

and fifty years:

*
and the darkness

he

called Night.

And the evening and the morning were the first day.


*

and he died.

*

And Cush begat Nimrod:

*

 

After this

opened

Job

*

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.

 

*

his

mouth,

 

and cursed his day.

*

There were giants

in the earth

in

those days;

 

*

And Job spake, 

*

There

was a

man

in

the land of Uz,

whose name was

 

 Job;

 

and

 

that man

 

 was perfect

 

*

What man soever there be of the house of Israel,

that killeth

an ox,

or lamb,

or goat,

in the

camp,

 

or

that killeth

it out

of the camp,

 

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

to offer an offering unto the Lord

before the tabernacle of the Lord;

 

blood shall

be

imputed unto

 

that man;

*

Whoso sheddeth man's blood,

by man shall his blood be shed:

*

 

he

hath shed blood;

 

and

that man

shall be cut off

from

 among his people:

 

To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices,

which they offer in the open field,

even that they may bring them unto the Lord,

 

unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

unto the priest,

and offer them for peace offerings unto the Lord.

 

*

And he humbled thee,

and suffered thee to hunger,

and fed thee with manna,

 

which thou knewest not,

neither did thy fathers know;

 

that he

might make thee know

 

that man

doth not live by bread only,

 

but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

 

*

 

and upright,

and one that feared God,

 

and eschewed evil.

 

    And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

   

His substance also was seven thousand sheep,

and three thousand camels,

and five hundred yoke of oxen,

and five hundred she asses,

and a very great household;

 

so that

this man

was the

 

greatest

 

of all

the men

of

the east.

   

And his sons went

and feasted in their houses,

 

every one his day;

 

and sent

and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

 

when the days of their feasting were gone about,

 

that Job

sent

and sanctified them,

and rose up early in the morning,

 

and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all:

 

for Job

said,

It may be that my sons have sinned,

and cursed God in their hearts.

Thus did

Job

continually.

**

 

So God

created man in

his

own image,

 

in

the image

of

God created

he

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.

*

They chose

new gods;

 

then was war in the gates:

 

was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

My heart

is

toward the governors

of

Israel,

 

that offered themselves willingly among the people.

 

Bless ye the Lord.

 

Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment,

and walk by the way.

 

*

And the Lord said,

My spirit shall not always strive with man,

*
And all the days

that Adam lived were

nine hundred

and thirty years:

and he died.

*



for that

he

also is flesh:

yet

his days

shall

be

an hundred

 

and twenty years.

**

and also

after that,

**

 

 

 

and

after that

I

have spoken,

 mock on.

 

As

for me,

is

my complaint to man?

 

and if it were so,

why should not my spirit be troubled?

*

And the Lord

set a mark upon Cain,

lest any finding him

should

kill him.

 

*

I do set

my

bow

in

the cloud,

and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

 

And it shall come to pass,

when

I

bring a cloud over the earth,

that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

 

And

I

will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh;

 

and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

 

*

Mark me,

*

Cursed be Canaan;

*

and be

astonished

and lay your hand upon your mouth.

Even when

I remember

 

I am

afraid,

and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
