IsIn
the
beginning
*
And
the
beginning
of
his
kingdom
was
Babel,
and Erech,
and Accad,
and Calneh,
in
the
land of Shinar.
*
Reuben,
thou art
my firstborn,
my might,
and
the
beginning
of
my strength,
the excellency
of
dignity,
and the
excellency
of
power:
*
yea,
they have
slain
the
servants
with the
edge
of the
sword;
and I only
am
escaped
alone
to
tell thee.
*
yea,
all
that a man
hath
will
he
give
for
his life.
But put
forth
thine hand
now,
*
And he said,
Who told
Thee
that thou
wast naked?
*
and
he
will curse
thee
to
thy face.
*
But put forth thine
hand
now,
and touch
his bone
and his flesh,
and
he
will curse
thee
to
thy face.
And
The
Lord
said
unto Satan,
Behold,
he
isin
thine hand;
but save
his life.
So God
created
man
in
his
own image,
in
the image
of
God
created
he
him;
*
Then said
I,
Ah,
Lord God!
behold,
I
cannot speak:
for
I am
a
child.
But the Lord
said
unto
me,
Say not,
I
am
a child:
for thou
shalt
go to all
that I
shall send
thee,
and whatsoever
I
command
thee
thou
shalt speak.
Be not afraid
of
their
faces:
for I am
with thee
to
deliver thee,
saith
the
Lord ISamuelallah
Then
the
Lord put forth
his hand,
and
touched my mouth.
And the Lord
said
unto me,
Behold,
I
have put
my
words
in
thy mouth.
See,
I
have
this day
set thee
over the
nations
and over
the
kingdoms,
to root out,
and to pull down,
and to destroy,
and to
throw down,
to build,
and to plant.
*
I
will make
him
an
help
meet
**
I
have made
the earth,
the man
and the
beast
that are upon
the
ground,
by
my
great power
and by
my
outstretched
arm,
and have given
it
unto
whom
it
seemed
meet
unto
me.
**
for
him.
**
and
were not
as
ham
**
And
the
Spirit
of
God
moved
upon the
face
of the
waters.
**
In
the
sweat
of
thy face
shalt thou
eat bread,
**
And Adam
lived an
hundred
and thirty years,
and begat
a son
in
his own
likeness,
after
his
image;
and called
his name
Seth:
And
to
Seth,
to
him also
there
was
born a son;
and
he called
his
name Enos:
then began
men
to
call upon
the
name
of
the
Lord.
**
The
name
of the
first
is
Pison:
*
And it came
to
pass after
these things,
she
hath also
born children
unto
thy brother
Nahor;
Huz
his firstborn,
and
Buz his brother,
and Kemuel
the
father
of
Aram,
And Chesed,
and Hazo,
and Pildash,
and Jidlaph,
and Bethuel.
And Bethuel
begat
Rebekah:
**
that
isit
which
compasseth
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 Enos lived
ninety years,
and begat
Cainan:
And Enos lived
after
he
begat
Cainan
eight hundred
and fifteen years,
and begat
sons and daughters:
***
And to Seth,
to
him
also
there
was
born a son;
*
and the
darkness
he called
Night.
**
and
he called
his name
Enos:
then began
men
to
call
upon
the
name
of
the
Lord.
*
For God
doth
know that
in
the day
ye
eat thereof,
then
your eyes
shall be
opened,
and
ye
shall be
as
gods,
knowing
good
and
evil.
*
For God,
said
she,
hath appointed
me
another seed
instead
of
Abel,
whom
Cain slew.
**
our father
drink wine,
and
****
sin lieth
at the
door.
*****
we
will lie
with
him,
*
And God said,
Let us make man
in our image,
after our likeness:
that we
may
preserve
seed
of
our father.
And they
made
their
father
drink
wine
that night:
And
the
younger,
she
also bare
a
son,
and called
his
name
Benammi:
the same
is
the
father
of the
children
of
Ammon
unto this
day.
**
And they
said
one
to
another,
Behold,
this
dreamer cometh.
Come
now
therefore,
and
let us
slay him,
and cast
him into
some pit,
and we
will say,
Some evil
beast
hath
devoured him:
and
we
shall see
what
will
become
of
his dreams.
And Reuben
heard
it,
*
Whoso sheddeth
man's blood,
by
man shall
his blood
be shed:
***
and he
delivered
him
out
of
their hands;
**
And
the
angel
of the
Lord
found
her
by
a
fountain
of
water
in the
wilderness,
by the
fountain
in
the way
to
Shur.
*
and said,
Let us
not kill
him.
And
Reuben
said
unto them,
Shed no blood,
but cast
him
into
this pit
that
isin
the
wilderness,
*
For all the wells
which his
father's servants
had digged
in the days
of
Abraham his father,
the
Philistines
had
stopped them,
and filled them
with earth.
*
*
and
lay no
hand
upon him;
that he
might
rid him
out of
their
hands,
to
deliver
him
to
his father again.
**
And
now
go to;
I
will tell you
what
I
will do to my
vineyard:
I
will
take away
the
hedge thereof,
and
it
shall
be
eaten up;
and break down
the
wall thereof,
and
it
shall
be
trodden down:
And
I
will lay
it waste:
it
shall not
be
pruned,
nor digged;
but there
shall come
up
briers
and thorns:
I
will also
command
the
clouds
that they
rain
no
rain
upon it.
For
the
vineyard
of the
Lord
of
hosts
is
the
house
of
Israel,
and the men
of
Judah
his
pleasant plant:
and
he
looked
for
judgment,
but behold
oppression;
for
righteousness,
but behold
a
cry.
Woe
unto them
that join
house to house,
that lay
field
to
field,
till
there
be
no place,
that they
may be placed
alone
in
the
midst
of the
earth!
***
And it came
to
pass when
Joseph
was come
unto his
brethren,
that they
stripped
Joseph
out
of
his coat,
his coat
of
many colours
that was
on
him;
**
Unto Adam also
and
to
his wife
did
the
Lord God
make coats
of
skins,
and
clothed them.
**
And they
took him,
and cast
him into
a pit:
and the pit
was empty,
there
was no water
