¹ And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at Gerar. ² And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. ³ But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art [but] a dead man, because of the woman that thou hast taken; for she is a man`s wife. <sup>4</sup> But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou also kill a righteous nation? <sup>5</sup> Did he not say to me, She is my sister? and she, even she said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and in the innocency of my hands have I done this. <sup>6</sup> And God said to him in a dream, I also knew that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart, and I, too, have withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore have I not suffered thee to touch her. <sup>7</sup> And now, restore the man`s wife; for he is a prophet, and will pray for thee, that thou mayest live. And if thou do not restore [her], know that thou shalt certainly die, thou and all that is thine. ⁸ And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and spoke all these words in their ears; and the men were greatly afraid. ⁹ And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What hast thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Thou hast done to me deeds that ought not to be done. ¹⁰ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this? ¹¹ And Abraham said, Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife`s sake. <sup>12</sup> But she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. <sup>13</sup> And it came to pass when God caused me to wander from my father`s house, that I said to her, Let this be thy kindness which thou shalt shew to me: at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. ¹⁴ And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and bondmen and bondwomen, and gave [them] to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. ¹⁵ And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it is good in thine eyes. ¹⁶ And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver; behold, let that be to thee a covering of the eyes, in respect of all that are with thee, and with all; and she was reproved. ¹⁷ And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his handmaids, and they bore [children]. ¹⁸ For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham`s wife.

²⁰ Ye indeed meant evil against me: God meant it for good, in order that he might do as [it is] this day, to save a great people alive.

¹ And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and to them were sons born after the flood. ² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ³ And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. ⁴ And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. ⁵ From these came the distribution of the isles of the nations, according to their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. ⁶ And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. ⁷ And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. ⁸ And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth. ⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah! ¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ¹¹ From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah, ¹² and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city. ¹³ -- And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim, ¹⁴ and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim. ¹⁵ -- And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁸ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad. ¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha. ²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. ²¹ And to Shem -- to him also were [sons] born; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. ²² The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. ²³ And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. ²⁴ -- And Arphaxad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber. ²⁵ And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother`s name was Joktan. ²⁶ And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, ²⁷ and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, ²⁸ and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, ²⁹ and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were sons of Joktan. ³⁰ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain. ³¹ These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. ³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. And from these came the distribution of the nations on the earth after the flood.

¹ And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at Gerar.

¹ That which was from [the] beginning, that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes; that which we contemplated, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life; ² (and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and has been manifested to us:)

¹ See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called [the] children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not. ² Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

³ that which we have seen and heard we report to you, that *ye* also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship [is] indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. ⁴ And these things write we to you that your joy may be full. ⁵ And this is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practise the truth. ⁷ But if we walk in the light as *he* is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us [our] sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

¹ And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick. And he took with him his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim. ² And one told Jacob and said, Behold, thy son Joseph is coming to thee. And Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. ³ And Jacob said to Joseph, The Almighty ?God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, ⁴ and he said to me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of peoples; and will give this land to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting possession. ⁵ And now thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon. ⁶ And thy family which thou hast begotten after them shall be thine: they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. ⁷ And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem. ⁸ And Israel beheld Joseph`s sons, and said, Who are these? <sup>9</sup> And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, that I may bless them. <sup>10</sup> But the eyes of Israel were heavy from age: he could not see. And he brought them nearer to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. <sup>11</sup> And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face; and behold, God has let me see also thy seed. <sup>12</sup> And Joseph brought them out from his knees, and bowed down with his face to the earth. <sup>13</sup> And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel`s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel`s right hand, and brought [them] near to him. <sup>14</sup> But Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid [it] on Ephraim`s head -- now he was the younger -- and his left hand on Manasseh`s head; guiding his hands intelligently, for Manasseh was the firstborn. <sup>15</sup> And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God that shepherded me all my life long to this day, <sup>16</sup> the Angel that redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the land! <sup>17</sup> When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of his father`s hand to remove it from Ephraim`s head to Manasseh`s head. ¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn: put thy right hand on his head. ¹⁹ But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know: he also will become a people, and he also will be great; but truly his younger brother will be greater than he; and his seed will become the fulness of nations. ²⁰ And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasseh! And he set Ephraim before Manasseh. ²¹ And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers. ²² And *I* have given to thee one tract [of land] above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

⁷ If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

¹ And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. ² And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped. ³ And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated. ⁴ And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat. ⁵ And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen. ⁶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. ⁷ And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth. ⁸ And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground. ⁹ But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark. ¹⁰ And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. ¹¹ And the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth. ¹² And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him. ¹³ And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried. ¹⁴ And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. ¹⁵ And God spoke to Noah, saying, ¹⁶ Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons` wives with thee. <sup>17</sup> Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth. <sup>18</sup> And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons` wives with him. ¹⁹ All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl -- everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark. ²⁰ And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar. ²¹ And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man`s heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done. ²² Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.

²⁶ 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 heavens, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth. ²⁷ And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth.

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. ³ And God said, Let there be light. And there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day. ⁶ And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters. ⁷ And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so. ⁸ And God called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning -- a second day. ⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry [land] appear. And it was so. ¹⁰ And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth. And it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth grass, herb producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in them, after their kind. And God saw that it was good. ¹³ And there was evening, and there was morning -- a third day. ¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; ¹⁵ and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so. ¹⁶ And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, -- and the stars. ¹⁷ And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth, ¹⁸ and to rule during the day and during the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fourth day. ²⁰ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens. ²¹ And God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply on the earth. ²³ And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fifth day. ²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth living souls after their kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth, after their kind. And it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²⁶ 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 heavens, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth. ²⁷ And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth. ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you; ³⁰ and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so. ³¹ And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the sixth day.
