1	GEN 1:1	First of all, a long time ago, God made everything. He made the sky, and he made the earth. He made all the things that are everywhere.
2	GEN 1:2	The earth didn’t have any shape. It didn’t have anything. It was covered with deep water. Everything was dark. It was dark all over the water, but God’s spirit moved around on the top of the water.
3	GEN 1:3	God said, “I want light.” Straight away, light was shining everywhere.
9	GEN 1:9	Then God said, “I want all the water that is on the ground to come together to one place, and I want dry ground to come up.” Then the water moved to the places where God wanted it, and the dry ground came up.
10	GEN 1:10	God called the dry ground land, and he called that water sea. God looked at the land and the sea, and he saw that everything was good.
11	GEN 1:11	Then God said, “I want the land to grow all sorts of plants on the earth. I want plants with seeds, and trees with fruit that have seeds inside.” And God made it happen.
12	GEN 1:12	So all sorts of plants grew on the land, plants with seeds, and trees with fruit that have seeds inside. God looked at all those plants, and he saw that everything was good.
18	GEN 1:18	One light shines during the day, and another light shines at night. Those lights split the day time from the night time. God looked at those lights, and he saw that everything was good.
20	GEN 1:20	Then God said, “I want the water to be full of fish and all sorts of living things. And I want birds that fly around in the sky, above the earth.”
21	GEN 1:21	So God made all the different sorts of things that live and move in the sea. He made the great big sea animals and a lot of other things that live in the sea. And God made all the different sorts of birds too. God looked at all those things, and he saw that everything was good.
22	GEN 1:22	God was good to them, and he said to them, “All of you living things will have lots of young ones, so that the sea will be full of fish, and lots of birds will fly around everywhere.”
25	GEN 1:25	God made all the different sorts of animals, the animals that are wild and the animals that are not wild. And he made all the different sorts of lizards, and insects, and other things that crawl around on the ground. God looked at all those things, and he saw that everything was good.
26	GEN 1:26	Then God said, “We are going to make people. They will be like us. They will be boss over the fish and everything that lives in the sea, and they will be boss over the birds that fly in the sky, and they will be boss over all the animals that are on the land, the animals that are wild, and the animals that are not wild, and all the lizards, and insects, and other things that crawl around on the ground. People will be boss over all of them.”
28	GEN 1:28	God was good to them, and he said to them, “You will have lots of kids, and the earth will be full of people. You people will be boss over all the earth. You will be boss over the fish in the sea, and you will be boss over the birds in the sky, and you will be boss over all the animals that live on the land.”
29	GEN 1:29	Then God said to them, “Look, I made lots of food plants for you. I made plants that have seeds in them, and trees with fruit on them too. You can eat the seeds from those plants and the fruit from those trees. That bush tucker will be your food.
30	GEN 1:30	And I made green plants too, for all the animals of the earth to eat, and for all the birds of the sky to eat, and for all the lizards, and insects, and other things that crawl around on the ground to eat too. Everything that breathes air can eat those green plants.”
31	GEN 1:31	God looked at everything he made, and he saw that all of it was very good. After that all happened, there was night time and there was morning time. That was day number 6.
32	GEN 2:1	God finished making everything. He finished making the sky, and the earth, and everything that is on the earth too.
34	GEN 2:3	So God made day number 7 a good and special day. He said, “I’ve finished making everything now, and I’m resting on day number 7. So day number 7 is a special day.”
38	GEN 2:7	God took some dirt, and he made a man out of it. Then God breathed into the man’s nose, and God’s breath gave him life. So that man became a living person.
40	GEN 2:9	And God made some trees grow there in that garden. They were pretty, and they had fruit that was good to eat. And God put 2 special trees in the middle of the garden. If people eat the fruit of one of those trees, they will stay alive. And if they eat the fruit from the other tree, they will know if the things they do are good, or if they are bad.
41	GEN 2:10	A river started in Eden, and it watered the garden. Then that river flowed out and split up into 4 rivers.
42	GEN 2:11	The 1st river was called Pishon. It flowed around the land called Havilah. In that country there was lots of gold.
44	GEN 2:13	The 2nd river was called Gihon. It flowed all around the country called Cush.
45	GEN 2:14	The 3rd river was called Tigris. It flowed east of the country called Assyria. The 4th river was called Euphrates.
46	GEN 2:15	God put the man into the garden in Eden and gave him some work to do. He had to look after the garden and make sure all the plants grew strong and healthy.
50	GEN 2:19	And God made all the animals and birds out of dirt from the ground, and he brought them to the man. God wanted the man to give all the animals and birds their names. The man could say any name he wanted for each one, and those names stayed with them.
51	GEN 2:20	So the man gave each animal a name. He named all the wild animals, and all the animals that are not wild, and all the birds. That man’s own name was Adam. (That name means man.) There were lots of animals and birds, but none of them were the right sort of mate that was good for Adam.
53	GEN 2:22	Then God used the man’s rib bone and made a woman from it. After the man woke up, God took the woman over to the man.
54	GEN 2:23	The man looked at that woman, and he said, “This is really good. Now I have a mate. God took out a part of my body, and he made it into a mate for me. Yes, he used my rib bone to make her. God made her out of a man’s body, so I’m going to call her woman.”
55	GEN 2:24	That’s how God made a woman, he made her out of a man’s body. That is the reason why a man will leave his mother and father and marry a woman. The man and his wife will join with each other, and their bodies will be like one body.
56	GEN 2:25	The man and his wife didn’t have any clothes on. They were both naked, but they didn’t feel any shame.
59	GEN 3:3	God said that there is only one tree that we can’t eat from. We can’t eat any fruit that comes from one of the trees that is in the middle of the garden. God will not even let us touch that tree. He said that if we eat fruit from that tree, we will die.”
62	GEN 3:6	The woman looked at that tree. It was pretty, and the fruit on that tree looked really good to eat, and she reckoned that if she eats some of that fruit, she will think properly. So the woman got some of that fruit, and she ate it, and she gave some of it to her husband, and he ate that fruit too.
63	GEN 3:7	Straight away, the man and the woman knew more things. They knew that they were naked, and they felt shame. They wanted to make clothes to cover up their naked bodies, so they picked some big leaves from a tree and sewed the leaves together to make some clothes.
68	GEN 3:12	The man said, “Yes, but it was the woman that you put here with me, she gave me fruit from that tree, so I ate it.”
72	GEN 3:16	Then God said to the woman, “I’m going to give you a lot of trouble. You are going to have a lot of pain whenever you have a baby. It will hurt you a lot. But you will really want to have a husband, and your husband will be your boss.”
73	GEN 3:17	Then God said to the man, “I told you not to eat any fruit from one of the trees in the middle of the garden, but you listened to your wife, and you ate that fruit. So I will curse the ground and make it bad for you. It will never be easy for you to get your food from the plants in the ground any more. The ground will have lots of rubbish plants and prickles in it.
75	GEN 3:19	You will work very hard to get your food, so you will get hot, and you will sweat a lot. And later on, you will die. I made you from the dirt, and after you die, your body will turn back into dirt.”
76	GEN 3:20	Adam’s wife was the first woman, and all the people in the world came from her. So Adam gave her the name Eve. That name means somebody that gives life.
78	GEN 3:22	After that, God said, “These people are like us now. They know what things are good, and what things are bad. We have to stop them, so they will not eat fruit from the other tree in the middle of the garden, the tree that makes people stay alive. If they eat that fruit, they will live for ever.”
80	GEN 3:24	After God hunted them out of the garden, he made sure that they couldn’t get back. He put some of his angel workers to be guards just outside the east side of the garden in Eden. Their job was to stop anybody from getting near the tree that makes people stay alive. They had long knives that were on fire, and they waved those long knives everywhere, to keep everyone away.
81	GEN 4:1	Adam and Eve slept together, like a man does with his wife, and then Eve had a baby boy. Eve said, “God has helped me make another human.” So she gave him the name Cain. That name means make.
82	GEN 4:2	After that, they had another son, and she gave him the name Abel. Abel grew up, and he looked after sheep and goats all the time. Cain grew up, and he became a gardener. He dug the ground and grew plants for people to eat.
83	GEN 4:3	One day, Cain brought a gift to give to God. He brought some food from his garden.
84	GEN 4:4	And Abel brought a gift to give to God too. He gave God some of his young sheep and goats. They were the first ones born to their mothers. Abel brought the best bits of meat from those sheep and goats. And God was happy with Abel, and with his gift.
85	GEN 4:5	But God was not happy with Cain, or with his gift. Then Cain got very angry. His face changed, and he looked very sad.
87	GEN 4:7	If you do the right thing, I will be happy with you. But, if you don’t do the right thing, look out, you will always want to do more bad things. But you have to control yourself and stop doing bad things.”
92	GEN 4:12	If you try to grow plants in the ground, nothing will grow for you. You will go away from me. And you will walk around in lots of places, but you will not have a home.”
94	GEN 4:14	If you make me leave this land where I grow my food, and if you make me go away from you, and if you make me walk around everywhere, so I will not have a home, then somebody will find me and finish me.”
95	GEN 4:15	God said, “I will not let that happen. I’ll tell everybody that if they kill you, then I will punish them 7 times more than I punished you.” So God put a mark on Cain’s head, so that everybody will know that they can’t kill him.
96	GEN 4:16	After that, Cain went away from God and went to live in a place called Nod. That country was on the east side of Eden.
100	GEN 4:20	Lamek’s wife Adah had a baby boy, called Jabal. Jabal grew up and he was the first person to go around with mobs of cows and bulls, just living in a tent, not a house.
103	GEN 4:23	One day, Lamek said to his 2 wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me properly. A young man hit me and hurt me, so I killed him dead.
105	GEN 4:25	Adam and Eve slept together again, like a man does with his wife, and they had another son, and they gave him the name Seth. That name means gave. Eve said, “God gave me another son to take the place of Abel, our son that Cain killed.”
106	GEN 4:26	Seth grew up, and he had a son too, and he gave him the name Enosh. At that time people started to call God by his special name Yahweh when they showed respect to him.
109	GEN 5:3	Adam lived a long time. He was 130 years old when he had his son called Seth. He was a human being, just like Adam, his father.
110	GEN 5:4	After Seth was born, Adam lived for another 800 years, and he had more sons and daughters.
112	GEN 5:6	Seth lived a long time too. He was 105 years old when he had a son called Enosh.
113	GEN 5:7	Then Seth lived for another 807 years, and he had more sons and daughters.
115	GEN 5:9	Enosh lived a long time too. He was 90 years old when he had a son called Kenan.
116	GEN 5:10	Then Enosh lived for another 815 years, and he had more sons and daughters.
