And
the Spirit
of God moved
upon the face
of the waters.
*****
And
God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl
that may fly above the earth - in the open
firmament of heaven.
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
in process of time
it
came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground
- an
offering -
unto the Lord.
*****
And
he sent forth a raven, which went - forth
to - and fro, until the waters were dried up - from off - the earth.
*****
And
Abel, - he also brought of the firstlings of his flock
- and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
*****
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 into 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 unto him into the ark.
And
he stayed yet
other seven days;
and again he
sent forth the dove out of the ark;
*****
And it came to pass, when he was come - near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now,
I know that thou art a fair
work-man - to look upon:
There-fore it
shall come to pass, when the Egyptians
shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, - but they will save thee alive.
*****
And
God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over
the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
And
to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air,
and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life,
I
have given every green herb for meat: and it
was so.
The tabernacles
of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
But ask now
the beasts, and they
shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell
thee:
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea
shall declare unto thee.
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 what-so-ever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
*****
So
God
created - man in - his own image,
in the image of God created - he him;
*****
There-fore
the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of
Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
*****
Whence
then
cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
Seeing it is hid - from the eyes
of all living, and kept close - from the fowls
of the air.
*****
Thou, O
king,
art a king of kings:
for the God of heaven hath given thee
a
kingdom, - power, and strength, and glory.
And
where- so -ever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of
the heaven
hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou
art this head of gold.
Behold
the fowls of the air:
For
thus saith the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, - and
sow
not among
thorns.
Circumcise
yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem:
lest
my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it,
because of the evil of your doings.
for
they sow
not,
And
Adah bare Jabal:
. . . And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father
of all such as handle the - harp and organ.
And
ye shall hallow the fiftieth year,
and proclaim liberty
throughout all the land unto all
the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you;
and ye shall return every man unto his
possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
*****
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.
****
A
jubile shall - that fiftieth year be unto you: - ye shall not sow, - neither reap that which groweth of - itself in it,
- nor gather the grapes - in it of - thy vine un-dressed.
For
it
is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: - ye shall
eat the increase
thereof out of the field.
In
the year of this jubile - ye shall return every man unto his possession.
And
if thou sell aught unto thy
neighbour, or buy-est aught of thy neighbour's hand, ye
shall not oppress one - another:
*****
Because
thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine
ears, there-fore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou cam-est.
And
this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such
as groweth
of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and
reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit there-of.
*****
And
God said, Let there be a firmament in the mid-st of the waters,
and let it - divide - the waters
- from the waters.
And
God made the firmament, and divided the waters
which were under the firmament from the waters which
were above the firmament: and it was so.
*****
And
the remnant
that is escaped of the house
of Judah shall again
take
root downward, and bear fruit upward:
For
out
of Jerusalem shall go forth
a remnant, and they that escape out
of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.
Therefore
thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this
city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor
come before it with shields, nor
cast a bank against it.
By
the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the
Lord.
For
I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake,
and for my servant David's sake.
Then
the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose
early in the morning, behold, they
were all dead corpses.
neither
do they reap,
