¹ And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God. ² And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. ³ And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord. ⁴ And Abel also brought of the first born of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts, ⁵ but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell. ⁶ And the Lord God said to Cain, Why are you become very sorrowful and why is your countenance fallen? ⁷ Hast you not sinned if you have brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to you shall be his submission, and you shall rule over him. ⁸ And Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us go out into the plain; and it came to pass that when they were in the plain Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and killed him. ⁹ And the Lord God said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper? ¹⁰ And the Lord said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries to me out of the ground. ¹¹ And now you [are] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. ¹² When you till the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to you: you shall be groaning and trembling on the earth. ¹³ And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven. ¹⁴ If you cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from your presence, and I shall be groaning and trembling upon the earth, then it will be that any one that finds me shall kill me. ¹⁵ And the Lord God said to him, Not so, any one that slays Cain shall suffer sevenfold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might kill him. ¹⁶ So Cain went forth from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod over against Edem. ¹⁷ And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch. ¹⁸ And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech. ¹⁹ And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella. ²⁰ And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle. ²¹ And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the lute and harp. ²² And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noema. ²³ And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, you⌃ wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief. ²⁴ Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven. ²⁵ And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain killed. ²⁶ And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.

¹ And the Lord spoke all these words, saying: ² I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ³ You shall have no other gods beside me. ⁴ You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth. ⁵ You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me, ⁶ and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments. ⁷ You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord your God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain. ⁸ Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. ⁹ Six days you shall labor, and shall perform all your work. ¹⁰ But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall do no work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your servant nor your maidservant, your ox nor your ass, nor any cattle of your, nor the stranger that sojourns with you. ¹¹ For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it. ¹² Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the good land, which the Lord your God gives to you. ¹³ You shall not commit adultery. ¹⁴ You shall not steal. ¹⁵ You shall not kill. ¹⁶ You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. ¹⁷ You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to your neighbor. ¹⁸ And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off, ¹⁹ and said to Moses, Speak you to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die. ²⁰ And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that you⌃ sin not. ²¹ And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was. ²² And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report it to the children of Israel, You⌃ have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven. ²³ You⌃ shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold you⌃ shall not make to yourselves. ²⁴ You⌃ shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it you⌃ shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to you and bless you. ²⁵ And if you will make to me an altar of stones, you shall not build them hewn [stones]; for you have lifted up your tool upon them, and they are defiled. ²⁶ You shall not go up to my altar by steps, that you may not uncover your nakedness upon it.

¹ And if one steal an ox or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall pay five calves for a calf, and four sheep for a sheep. ² And if the thief be found in the breach [made by himself] and be struck and die, there shall not be blood shed for him. ³ But if the sun be risen upon him, he is guilty, he shall die instead; and if a thief have nothing, let him be sold in compensation for what he has stolen. ⁴ And if the thing stolen be left and be in his hand alive, whether ox or sheep, he shall restore them two-fold. ⁵ And if any one should feed down a field or a vineyard, and should send in his beast to feed down another field, he shall make compensation of his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have fed down the whole field, he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the best of his vineyard. ⁶ And if fire have gone forth and caught thorns, and should also set on fire threshing-floors or ears of corn or a field, he that kindled the fire shall make compensation. ⁷ And if any one give to his neighbor money or goods to keep, and they be stolen out of the man's house, if the thief be found he shall repay double. ⁸ But if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall come forward before God, and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in regard of any part of his neighbor's deposit, ⁹ according to every injury alleged, both concerning a calf, and an ass, and a sheep, and a garment, and every alleged loss, whatever in fact it may be, —the judgment of both shall proceed before God, and he that is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbor double. ¹⁰ And if any one give to his neighbor to keep a calf or sheep or any beast, and it be wounded or die or be taken, and no one know, ¹¹ an oath of God shall be between both, [each swearing] that he has surely not at all been guilty in the matter of his neighbor's deposit; and so his master shall hold him guiltless, and he shall not make compensation. ¹² And if it be stolen from him, he shall make compensation to the owner. ¹³ And if it be seized of beasts, he shall bring him to [witness] the prey, and he shall not make compensation. ¹⁴ And if any one borrow [ought] of his neighbor, and it be wounded or die or be carried away, and the owner of it be not with it, he shall make compensation. ¹⁵ But if the owner be with it, he shall not make compensation: but if it be a hired thing, there shall be [a compensation] to him instead of his hire. ¹⁶ And if any one deceive a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her for a wife to himself. ¹⁷ And if her father positively refuse, and will not consent to give her to him for a wife, he shall pay compensation to her father according to the amount of the dowry of virgins. ¹⁸ You⌃ shall not save the lives of sorcerers. ¹⁹ Every one that lies with a beast you⌃ shall surely put to death. ²⁰ He that sacrifices to any gods but to the Lord alone, shall be destroyed by death. ²¹ And you⌃ shall not hurt a stranger, nor afflict him; for you⌃ were strangers in the land of Egypt. ²² You⌃ shall hurt no widow or orphan. ²³ And if you⌃ should afflict them by ill-treatment, and they should cry aloud to me, I will surely hear their voice. ²⁴ And I will be very angry, and will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans. ²⁵ And if you should lend money to your poor brother who is by you, you shall not be hard upon him you shall not exact usury of him. ²⁶ And if you take your neighbor's garment for a pledge, you shall restore it to him before sunset. ²⁷ For this is his clothing, this is the only covering of his nakedness; wherein shall he sleep? If then he shall cry to me, I will listen to him, for I am merciful. ²⁸ You shall not revile the gods, nor speak ill of the ruler of your people. ²⁹ You shall not keep back the first fruits of your threshing floor and press. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to me. ³⁰ So shall you do with your calf and your sheep and your ass; seven days shall it be under the mother, and the eighth day you shall give it to me. ³¹ And you⌃ shall be holy men to me; and you⌃ shall not eat flesh taken of beasts, you⌃ shall cast it to the dog.

⁴⁷ because you did not serve the Lord your God with gladness and a good heart, because of the abundance of all things. ⁴⁸ And you shall serve your enemies, which the Lord will send forth against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in the lack of all things; and you shall wear upon your neck a yoke of iron until he shall have destroyed you.

¹ And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, Josaphat strengthened himself against Israel. ² And he put garrisons in all the strong cities of Juda, and appointed captains in all the cities of Juda, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. ³ And the Lord was with Josaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father, and did not seek to idols; ⁴ but he sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in the commandments of his father, and not according to the works of Israel. ⁵ And the Lord prospered the kingdom in his hand; and all Juda gave gifts to Josaphat; and he had great wealth and glory. ⁶ And his heart was exalted in the way of the Lord; and he removed the high places and the groves from the land of Juda. ⁷ And in the third year of his reign, he sent his chief men, and his mighty men, Abdias and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Michaias, to teach in the cities of Juda. ⁸ And with them [were] the Levites, Samaias, and Nathanias, and Zabdias, and Asiel, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Tobadonias, Levites, and with them Elisama and Joram, the priests. ⁹ And they taught in Juda, and [there was] with them the book of the law of the Lord, and they passed through the cities of Juda, and taught the people. ¹⁰ And a terror of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the land round about Juda, and they made no war against Josaphat. ¹¹ And [some] of the Philistines brought to Josaphat gifts, and silver, and presents; and the Arabians brought him seven thousand seven hundred rams. ¹² And Josaphat increased in greatness exceedingly, and built in Judea places of abode, and strong cities. ¹³ And he had many works in Judea: and the mighty men of war, [the men] of strength, [were] in Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And this [is] their number according to the houses of their fathers; even the captains of thousands in Juda [were], Ednas the chief, and with him mighty men of strength three hundred thousand. ¹⁵ And after him, Joanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand. ¹⁶ And after him Amasias the [son] of Zari, who was zealous for the Lord; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of strength. ¹⁷ And out of Benjamin [there was] a mighty man of strength, even Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand archers and targeteers. ¹⁸ And after him Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand mighty men of war. ¹⁹ These were the king's servants besides those whom the king put in the strong cities in all Judea.

¹ (47) For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. Clap your hands, all you⌃ nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation.

⁶ For I am the Lord your God, and I am not changed:

²⁶ As if one should stop a well, and corrupt a spring of water, so [is it] unseemly for a righteous man to fall before an ungodly man.

¹ And it shall come to pass, if you will indeed hear the voice of the Lord your God, to observe and do all these commands, which I charge you this day, that the Lord your God shall set you on high above all the nations of the earth; ² and all these blessings shall come upon you, and shall find you. If you will indeed hear the voice of the Lord your God, ³ blessed [shall] you [be] in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. ⁴ Blessed shall be the offspring of your body, and the fruits of your land, and the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep. ⁵ Blessed shall be your barns, and your stores. ⁶ Blessed shall you be in your coming in, and blessed shall you be in your going out. ⁷ The Lord deliver your enemies that withstand you utterly broken before your face: they shall come out against you one way, and they shall flee seven ways from before you. ⁸ The Lord send upon you his blessing in your barns, and on all on which you shall put your hand, in the land which the Lord your God gives you. ⁹ The Lord raise you up for himself a holy people, as he sware to your fathers; if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways. ¹⁰ And all the nations of the earth shall see you, that the name of the Lord is called upon you, and they shall stand in awe of you. ¹¹ And the Lord your God shall multiply you for good in the offspring of your body, and in the offspring of your cattle, and in the fruits of your land, on your land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to you. ¹² May the Lord open to you his good treasure, the heaven, to give rain to your land in season: may he bless all the works of your hands: so shall you lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you. ¹³ The Lord your God make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall then be above and you shall not be below, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, in all things that I charge you this day to observe. ¹⁴ You shall not turn aside from any of the commandments, which I charge you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. ¹⁵ But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to observe all his commandments, as many as I charge you this day, then all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you. ¹⁶ Cursed [shall] you [be] in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field. ¹⁷ Cursed shall be your barns and your stores. ¹⁸ Cursed shall be the offspring of your body, and the fruits of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep. ¹⁹ Cursed shall you be in your coming in, and cursed shall you be in your going out. ²⁰ The Lord send upon you lack, and famine, and consumption of all things on which you shall put your hand, until he shall have utterly destroyed you, and until he shall have consumed you quickly because of your evil devices, because you have forsaken me. ²¹ The Lord cause the pestilence to cleave to you, until he shall have consumed you off the land into which you go to inherit it. ²² The Lord strike you with distress, and fever, and cold, and inflammation, and blighting, and paleness, and they shall pursue you until they have destroyed you. ²³ And you shall have over your head a sky of brass, and the earth under you shall be iron. ²⁴ The Lord your God make the rain of your land dust; and dust shall come down from heaven, until it shall have destroyed you, and until it shall have quickly consumed you. ²⁵ The Lord give you up for slaughter before your enemies: you shall go out against them one way, and flee from their face seven ways; and you shall be a dispersion in all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And your dead men shall be food to the birds of the sky, and to the beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to scare them away. ²⁷ The Lord strike you with the botch of Egypt in the seat, and with a malignant scab, and itch, so that you can not be healed. ²⁸ The Lord strike you with insanity, and blindness, and astonishment of mind. ²⁹ And you shall grope at mid-day, as a blind man would grope in the darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways; and then you shall be unjustly treated, and plundered continually, and there shall be no helper. ³⁰ you shall take a wife, and another man shall have her; you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not gather the grapes of it. ³¹ Your calf [shall be] slain before you, and you shall not eat of it; your ass shall be violently taken away from you, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no helper. ³² Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another nation, and your eyes wasting away shall look for them: your hand shall have no strength. ³³ A nation which you know not shall eat the produce of your land, and all your labors; and you shall be injured and crushed always. ³⁴ And you shall be distracted, because of the sights of your eyes which you shall see. ³⁵ The Lord strike you with an evil sore, on the knees and the legs, so that you shall not be able to be healed from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. ³⁶ The Lord carry away you and your princes, whom you shall set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers know; and you shall there serve other gods, wood and stone. ³⁷ An you shall be there for a wonder, and a parable, and a tale, among all the nations, to which the Lord your God shall carry you away. ³⁸ You shall carry forth much seed into the field, and you shall bring in little, because the locust shall devour it. ³⁹ You shall plant a vineyard, and dress it, and shall not drink the wine, neither shall you delight yourself with it, because the worm shall devour it. ⁴⁰ You shall have olive trees in all your borders, and you shall not anoint you with oil, because your olive shall utterly cast [its fruit]. ⁴¹ You shall beget sons and daughters, and they shall not be [your], for they shall depart into captivity. ⁴² All your trees and the fruits of your land shall the blight consume. ⁴³ The stranger that is within you shall get up very high, and you shall come down very low. ⁴⁴ He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. ⁴⁵ And all these curses shall come upon you, and shall pursue you, and shall overtake you, until he shall have consumed you, and until he shall have destroyed you; because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commands, and his ordinances which he has commanded you. ⁴⁶ And [these things] shall be signs in you, and wonders among your seed for ever; ⁴⁷ because you did not serve the Lord your God with gladness and a good heart, because of the abundance of all things. ⁴⁸ And you shall serve your enemies, which the Lord will send forth against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in the lack of all things; and you shall wear upon your neck a yoke of iron until he shall have destroyed you. ⁴⁹ The Lord shall bring upon you a nation from the extremity of the earth, like the swift flying of an eagle, a nation whose voice you shall not understand; ⁵⁰ a nation bold in countenance, which shall not respect the person of the aged and shall not pity the young. ⁵¹ And it shall eat up the young of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, so as not to leave to you corn, wine, oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, until it shall have destroyed you; ⁵² and have utterly crushed you in your cities, until the high and strong walls be destroyed, in which you trust, in all your land; and it shall afflict you in your cities, which he has given to you. ⁵³ And you shall eat the fruit of your body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, all that he has given you, in your straitness and your affliction, with which your enemy shall afflict you. ⁵⁴ He that is tender and very delicate within you shall look with an evil eye upon his brother, and the wife in his bosom, and the children that are left, which may have been left to him; ⁵⁵ so as [not] to give to one of them of the flesh of his children, whom he shall eat, because of his having nothing left him in your straitness, and in your affliction, with which your enemies shall afflict you in all your cities. ⁵⁶ And she that is tender and delicate among you, whose foot has not assayed to go upon the earth for delicacy and tenderness, shall look with an evil eye on her husband in her bosom, and her son and her daughter, ⁵⁷ and her offspring that comes out between her feet, and the child which she shall bear; for she shall eat them because of the lack of all things, secretly in your straitness, and in your affliction, with which your enemy shall afflict you in your cities. ⁵⁸ If you will not listen to do all the words of this law, which have been written in this book, to fear this glorious and wonderful name, the Lord your God; ⁵⁹ then the Lord shall magnify your plagues, and the plagues of your seed, great and wonderful plagues, and evil and dwelling diseases. ⁶⁰ And he shall bring upon you all the evil pain of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cleave to you. ⁶¹ And the Lord shall bring upon you every sickness, and every plague that is not written, and every one that is written in the book of this law, until he shall have destroyed you. ⁶² And you⌃ shall be left few in number, whereas you⌃ were as the stars of the sky in multitude; because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord your God. ⁶³ And it shall come to pass that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you; and you⌃ shall be quickly removed from the land, into which you⌃ go to inherit it. ⁶⁴ And the Lord your God shall scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other; and you shall there serve other gods, wood and stone, which you have not known, nor your fathers. ⁶⁵ Moreover among those nations he will not give you quiet, neither by any means shall the sole of your foot have rest; and the Lord shall give you there another and a misgiving heart, and failing eyes, and a wasting soul. ⁶⁶ And your life shall be in suspense before your eyes; and you shall be afraid by day and by night, and you shall have no assurance of your life. ⁶⁷ In the morning you shall say, Would it were evening! and in the evening you shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of your heart with which you shall fear, and for the sights of your eyes which you shall see. ⁶⁸ And the Lord shall bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said, You shall not see it again; and you⌃ shall be sold there to your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and none shall buy you.
