Apil-Sin
IN
The Beginning
The name
of the first is Pis-on:
that
is it which comp-as-seth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
And
the gold of that land is good:
there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
And
the name of the second river is Gihon:
the same is it
that
comp-as-seth
the whole land of Ethiopia.
And
the na-me of the third river
is Hiddekel:
that is it which go-eth toward
the east
of Assyria.
And the fourth river
is Euphrates.
And the Lord God
commanded
the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou may-east freely eat:
But
of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil,
thou
shalt not eat of it:
for
in
the day - that thou
eat-east there-of thou shalt surely
die.
And
the Lord God said,
Behold,
the man is
become
as
one of
us,
to
know
good and evil:
Behold,
thou hast
driven me out
this day from the face of the earth;
and
from thy
face shall I be hid;
and
I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth;
and
it
shall come
to pass,
that
every one that find-eth me - shall slay me.
And
God said unto Noah,
The end
of all flesh - is come before me;
And
God looked upon the earth,
and,
behold,
it
was corrupt;
for all flesh had corrupted his
way upon the earth.
But
with thee
will I establish my
covenant;
and
thou shalt come into the ark,
Of
fowls after their
kind,
and
of cattle after their kind,
of every creeping thing
of the earth after his kind,
two of every sort
shall come
unto
thee,
to keep them alive.
Thus did No-ah;
according to all
that God commanded
him,
so did he.
And
the Lord said unto Noah,
Come
thou and
all thy
house into the ark;
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 name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward
the east of Assyria.
And
the border of the Canaanites
was from Sidon,
as
thou comest
to
Gerar,
unto Gaza;
as
thou go-east,
unto Sodom,
and
Gomorrah,
and
Admah,
and
Zeboim,
even
unto Lasha.
And
Sarai Abram's
wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian,
after
Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan,
and
gave her - to her
husband Abram to be his
wife.
And
he
went in unto Hagar,
and
she conceived:
And
the Lord God said,
Behold,
the man is become as one of us,
to
know good - and evil:
And
his
father refused,
and
said,
I know
it,
my
son,
I
know it:
and
when she
saw
that she had conceived,
mis-tress
(mistris)n. 1. A woman in a position of authority, control, or
ownership, as the head of a household:
her mistress
was
despised in her eyes.
And
un-to Eber were born two sons:
the name of one was Peleg;
for
in
his days w-as 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
O-bal,
and
Abimael,
and
Sheba,
And
Lot
went up out of Zoar,
And
Cain went out from the presence of the Lord,
and
dwelt in the land of Nod,
on
the east of Eden.
and
dwelt in the mountain,
and
his two daughters
with
him;
for he feared to
dwell in Zoar:
They
were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them
as
after a thief;)
To dwell
in the cliffs of the valleys,
in caves of the earth,
and
in the rocks.
Among
the bushes they brayed;
under
the nettles they were gathered
together.
and
he dwelt in a cave,
he
and his two daughters.
And
the firstborn said unto the younger,
Our
father is old,
and
there
is not a man in the earth to come in un-to us
after the manner of all the earth:
Come,
And
God said,
Let
us make man in our
image,
let us make
our father drink wine,
after
our
likeness:
and
now,
lest
he put forth his hand,
and
take
also of the tree of
life,
and
eat,
and
live for ever:
and we will lie with him,
And they made their father drink wine - that night:
and the firstborn went in,
and lay with her father;
and he perceived not when she lay down,
nor when she arose.;
And
it came to pass on the morrow,
that
the firstborn
said unto the younger,
Behold,
I
lay
yesternight with my father:
And
she called his name Jo-seph;
and
said,
The Lord shall add to me
another
son.
Now
there-fore come thou,
let
us make a covenant,
I and
thou;
and
let it be for a witness between me and thee.
And
Jacob took a stone,
and
set it up for a pillar.
let
us make him drink wine this night also;
and
go
thou in,
and
lie
with him,
that
we
may preserve seed of our father.
And
they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose,
and
lay
with him;
and
he perceived not when she lay down,
nor
when she arose.
If I
have withheld the poor from their desire,
or
have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
Or
have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
(For
from my youth- he was brought up with me,
as
with a father,
and
I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
If
I
have seen any perish for want of clothing,
or any poor without covering;
If
his loins have not blessed me,
and
if he were not warmed with the fleece
of my
sheep;
If
I
have lifted up my hand against the fatherless,
when I saw my help in the gate:
Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade,
and
mine arm be broken from the bone.
For
destruction from God was a terror to me,
and
by reason of his highness I could not endure.
Thus
were both the daughters
of Lot with child by their
father.
And
the firstborn bare a son,
and
called his name Moab:
the same is the father of
the Moabites unto this day.
And
the name of the man was Elimelech,
and
the name of his wife Naomi,
and
the name of his two sons Mahlon
and
Chilion,
Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah.
And
they came into the country of Moab,
and
continued there.
And Elimelech Naomi's husband died;
and she was left, and her two sons.
And they took them wives of the
women of Moab; the name of the one
was Orpah,
and
the name of the other Ruth:
and
they dwelled there about ten years.
And
Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them;
and
the woman w-as left of her two
sons and
her husband.
Then
she arose with her
daughters in law,
that she might return from the country of
Moab:
for
she had heard in the country of Moab how that the Lord had visited his people in giving
them bread.
Where-fore
she went forth out of the place
where she was,
and
her two daughters in law with her;
and
they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.
And
Naomi said unto her two daughters in law,
Go,
return
each to her mother's house:
the Lord deal kindly with you,
as
ye
have dealt with the dead,
and
with me.
The Lord grant you that ye
may find rest,
each
of you in the house
of her
husband.
And Jacob kissed Rachel,
and
lifted up his voice,
and
wept.
Then
she kissed them;
and
they lifted up their voice,
and
wept.
And
they said unto her,
Surely
we
will return with thee unto thy people.
And
Naomi said,
Turn
again,
my daughters:
why
will ye go with me?
are
there yet any
more sons in my womb,
that they may be your husbands?
Turn
again,
my daughters,
go
your way;
for I am too old to have an husband.
If
I
should say,
I
have hope,
if
I
should have an husband also to-night,
and
should also bear sons;
Would
ye tarry for them till
they were grown?
would
ye stay for them from having husbands?
nay,
my daughters;
And
it
repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth,
and it
grieved him at his heart.
for
it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against
me.
And
they lifted up their voice,
and
wept again:
and
Orpah kissed
her mother in law;
but Ruth clave unto her.
And
she said,
Behold,
thy
sister in law is
gone back unto her people,
and
unto her gods:
return thou
after
thy sister in law.
And
Ruth said,
and
I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass,
that every one that
findeth me - shall slay me.
Entreat me not
to leave thee,
or to return from following after
thee:
for
whither thou go-east,
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
w-as stedfastly minded to go with her,
then she left speaking un-to
her.
Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi,
thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess,
the wife of the dead,
to raise up the name of the dead up-on
his inheritance.
So
Boaz took Ruth,
and
she w-as his wife:
and
when he
went in unto her,
the Lord gave her conception,
and
she bare a son.
And
the women
said unto Naomi,
Blessed
be
the Lord,
which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman,
that his name may be famous in Israel.
And
he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life,
and
a nourisher of thine old age:
for
thy
daughter in law,
which loveth thee,
which is better to thee than seven
sons,
hath borne him.
And
Naomi took the child,
and
laid it
in her bosom,
and
became nurse unto it.
And
the women her neighbours gave it a name,
saying,
There
is a son born to Naomi;
and
they called his name Obed:
he is the father of Jesse,
the father of David.
And
Jacob was left al-one;
Lot
And
Lot went up out of Zoar,
and
dwelt in the mountain,
Come, let us make our father
drink wine,
and
we will lie with him,
and
there wrestled a man - - with - - him un-til
the breaking of the day.
And
when he saw that he prevailed not
again-st 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 it-self,
So
God
created man in his own image,
in
the image
of God created he him;
male
and female created he them.
And Adah bare Jabal:
he
w-as the father of such as dwell in tents,
and
of such as have cattle.
God shall
enlarge Japheth,
and
he shall dwell in the tents of Shem;
And
Lot also,
which
went with Abram,
had flocks,
and
herds,
and
tents.
And
the boys grew:
and
Esau w-as a cunning hunter,
a
man
of the field;
and
Jacob w-as a plain man,
dwelling
in tents.
he
touched the hollow of his
thigh;
and
the hollow of Jacob's thigh w-as out of
joint,
as
he
wrestled
with him.
And
he said,
He
breaketh me with breach upon breach,
he
runneth upon me like a giant.
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin,
and
defiled my horn in the dust.
My
face
is foul with weeping,
and
on my eyelids is the shadow
of death;
Not
for any injustice
in mine
hands:
also
my prayer is
pure.
Let
me
go,
. . . for
the day breaketh.
I will not
let thee go,
except
thou bless me.
Behold,
thou
hast
driven me out this day from the face
of the earth;
and
from thy
face shall I be hid;
and
I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth;
and
it
shall come
to pass,
that
every one that find-eth me shall slay me.
And
the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon,
as
thou comest to Gerar,
unto Gaza;
as
thou go-east,
unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah,
and Zeboim,
even unto Lasha.
And the name of the second river
is Gihon:
the same is it
that compasseth
the whole land of Ethiopia.
And
the gold of that land is good:
there is bdellium - and the onyx
stone.
And all the house of Joseph,
and
his brethren,
and
his father's
house:
only
their little ones,
and
their flocks,
and
their herds,
they
left
in the land of Goshen.
And there went up with him both
chariots - and horsemen:
and it was a very great company.
Queen of Sheba
And when the
queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord,
she came to prove him with hard questions.
And
she came to Jerusalem with a very great train,
with
camels that bare spices,
and
very much gold,
and precious stones:
and
when she was come to Solomon,
Also
he
sent forth a dove from him,
to
see
if the waters were abated from off
the face of the ground;
But
the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot,
and
she returned unto him in-to the ark,
for
the waters were on the face of the whole earth:
then he put forth his hand,
and
took her,
and
pulled her in un-to him in-to
the ark.
And
Hamor communed with them,
saying,
The soul of
my
son Shechem
longeth for your daughter:
I
pray you give her
him to wife.
And
make ye marriages with us,
and
give your daughters unto us,
and
take
our daughters unto you.
And
ye shall dwell with us:
and
the land shall be before you;
dwell
and
trade ye there-in,
and
get you possessions there-in.
Him
When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance,
when
he separated the sons of Adam,
he
set
the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
For
the Lord's portion is his people;
Jacob is the lot
of his inheritance.
she communed with him of all that was in
her heart
So
all
the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations;
and
from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen
generations;
and
from the carrying away into Babylon un-to Christ are fourteen generations.
Now
the birth of RAheme Christ w-as on this
wise:
When
as his mother
My w-as espoused to Joseph,
before
they came together,
Thus
the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
And
he said,
I
heard
thy voice in the garden,
and
I w-as afraid,
because I was naked;
and
I hid myself.
she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Go
ye
there-fore in-to the high-ways,
and
as many as ye shall find,
bid
to
the marriage.
RAheme said unto him,
Thou
shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart,
and
with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind.
Enter
ye in at the
strait gate:
for
wide is the gate,
and
broad is the way,
that
leadeth to destruction,
And
God saw the light,
that
it w-as 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
many there be which go in there-at:
Many
will say to me in that day,
Lord,
Lord,
have
we
not prophesied in thy name?
and
in thy name have cast out devils?
and
in thy name done many wonderful works?
And
the name of the second river is Gihon:
the same is it that compass-seth
the whole land of Ethiopia.
Wherefore
I say unto you,
All
manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men:
but
the blasphemy again-st the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
And
whosoever speak-eth a word again-st the Son of man,
it
shall be forgiven him:
Wherefore
I say un-to you,
All
manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men:
but
the blasphemy again-st the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
And the name of the second river is Gihon:
the same
is
it that compass-seth t-he
whole land of Ethiopia.
but
whosoever speak-eth again-st the Holy Ghost,
it
shall not be forgiven him,
neither
in
this world,
neither
in
the world to come.
That
thou
shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth,
which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee,
and
shalt put it in a basket,
and
shalt go un-to the place
which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there.
And
thou shalt go un-to the priest that shall be in those days,
and
say un-to him,
I
profess this day unto the Lord thy God,
that
I am come unto the
country which the Lord sware un-to our
fathers for to give us.
And
then will I profess un-to them,
I never knew you:
depart from me,
ye
that work iniquity.
And
I say un-to you,
And
on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;
and
he rested on the seventh
day from all his
work
which he had made.
That many shall come from the east and west,
and
shall sit down with Abraham,
and
Isaac,
and
Jacob,
in the kingdom of heaven.
But the children of the kingdom
shall be cast out into outer darkness:
And
thou
hast
filled me with wrinkles,
which is a witness against me:
and
my
leanness rising up in me beareth
witness to my face.
He
teareth me in his
wrath,
who
hateth me:
he
gnasheth up-on me
with his teeth;
mine
enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
