1 | GEN 1:1 | In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth, |
2 | GEN 1:2 | and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters, |
3 | GEN 1:3 | and God says, “Let light be”; and light is. |
4 | GEN 1:4 | And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates between the light and the darkness, |
5 | GEN 1:5 | and God calls the light “Day,” and the darkness He has called “Night”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—day one. |
6 | GEN 1:6 | And God says, “Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.” |
7 | GEN 1:7 | And God makes the expanse, and it separates between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so. |
8 | GEN 1:8 | And God calls the expanse “Heavens”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] second day. |
9 | GEN 1:9 | And God says, “Let the waters under the heavens be collected to one place, and let the dry land be seen”: and it is so. |
10 | GEN 1:10 | And God calls the dry land “Earth,” and the collection of the waters He has called “Seas”; and God sees that [it is] good. |
11 | GEN 1:11 | And God says, “Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth”: and it is so. |
12 | GEN 1:12 | And the earth brings forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God sees that [it is] good; |
13 | GEN 1:13 | and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] third day. |
14 | GEN 1:14 | And God says, “Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for appointed times, and for days and years, |
16 | GEN 1:16 | And God makes the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary—and the stars—for the rule of the night; |
17 | GEN 1:17 | and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, |
18 | GEN 1:18 | and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God sees that [it is] good; |
19 | GEN 1:19 | and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day. |
20 | GEN 1:20 | And God says, “Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and let [the] bird fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.” |
21 | GEN 1:21 | And God creates the great dragons, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every bird with wing, after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good. |
22 | GEN 1:22 | And God blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in the earth”: |
23 | GEN 1:23 | and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fifth day. |
24 | GEN 1:24 | And God says, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, livestock and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind”: and it is so. |
25 | GEN 1:25 | And God makes the beast of the earth after its kind, and the livestock after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good. |
26 | GEN 1:26 | And God says, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.” |
27 | GEN 1:27 | And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created them. |
28 | GEN 1:28 | And God blesses them, and God says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping on the earth.” |
29 | GEN 1:29 | And God says, “Behold, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] on the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food; |
30 | GEN 1:30 | and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food”: and it is so. |
31 | GEN 1:31 | And God sees all that He has done, and behold, [it is] very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—the sixth day. |
32 | GEN 2:1 | And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host; |
33 | GEN 2:2 | and God completes by the seventh day His work which He has made, and ceases by the seventh day from all His work which He has made. |
34 | GEN 2:3 | And God blesses the seventh day, and sanctifies it, for in it He has ceased from all His work which God had created for making. |
35 | GEN 2:4 | These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth in their being created, in the day of YHWH God’s making the earth and the heavens; |
36 | GEN 2:5 | and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouts, for YHWH God has not rained on the earth, and there is not a man to serve the ground, |
37 | GEN 2:6 | and a mist goes up from the earth, and has watered the whole face of the ground. |
38 | GEN 2:7 | And YHWH God forms the man—dust from the ground, and breathes into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becomes a living creature. |
39 | GEN 2:8 | And YHWH God plants a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sets there the man whom He has formed; |
40 | GEN 2:9 | and YHWH God causes to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. |
41 | GEN 2:10 | And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from there it is parted, and has become four chief [rivers]; |
42 | GEN 2:11 | the name of the first [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Havilah where the gold [is], |
44 | GEN 2:13 | and the name of the second river [is] Gihon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush; |
45 | GEN 2:14 | and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is the Euphrates. |
46 | GEN 2:15 | And YHWH God takes the man, and causes him to rest in the Garden of Eden, to serve it and to keep it. |
47 | GEN 2:16 | And YHWH God lays a charge on the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden eating you eat; |
48 | GEN 2:17 | but from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, you do not eat from it, for in the day of your eating from it—dying you die.” |
49 | GEN 2:18 | And YHWH God says, “[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart.” |
50 | GEN 2:19 | And YHWH God forms from the ground every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens, and brings [them] to the man, to see what he calls it; and whatever the man calls a living creature, that [is] its name. |
51 | GEN 2:20 | And the man calls names to all the livestock, and to bird of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man a helper has not been found as his counterpart. |
52 | GEN 2:21 | And YHWH God causes a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he sleeps, and He takes one of his ribs, and closes up flesh in its stead. |
53 | GEN 2:22 | And YHWH God builds up the rib which He has taken out of the man into a woman, and brings her to the man; |
54 | GEN 2:23 | and the man says, “This at last! Bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!” For this is called Woman, for this has been taken from Man; |
55 | GEN 2:24 | therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh. |
56 | GEN 2:25 | And both of them are naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves. |
57 | GEN 3:1 | And the serpent has been cunning above every beast of the field which YHWH God has made, and he says to the woman, “Is it true that God has said, You do not eat from every tree of the garden?” |
58 | GEN 3:2 | And the woman says to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we eat, |
59 | GEN 3:3 | but from the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, You do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.” |
60 | GEN 3:4 | And the serpent says to the woman, “Dying, you do not die, |
61 | GEN 3:5 | for God knows that in the day of your eating of it—your eyes have been opened, and you have been as God, knowing good and evil.” |
62 | GEN 3:6 | And the woman sees that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she takes from its fruit and eats, and also gives [some] to her husband with her, and he eats; |
63 | GEN 3:7 | and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make girdles for themselves. |
64 | GEN 3:8 | And they hear the sound of YHWH God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of YHWH God in the midst of the trees of the garden. |
65 | GEN 3:9 | And YHWH God calls to the man and says to him, “Where [are] you?” |
66 | GEN 3:10 | And he says, “I have heard Your sound in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.” |
67 | GEN 3:11 | And He says, “Who has declared to you that you [are] naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I have commanded you not to eat?” |
68 | GEN 3:12 | And the man says, “The woman whom You placed with me—she has given to me from the tree, and I eat.” |
69 | GEN 3:13 | And YHWH God says to the woman, “What [is] this you have done?” And the woman says, “The serpent has caused me to forget, and I eat.” |
70 | GEN 3:14 | And YHWH God says to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed [are] you above all the livestock, and above every beast of the field: on your belly you go, and dust you eat, [for] all days of your life; |
71 | GEN 3:15 | and I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He bruises your head, and you bruise His heel.” |
72 | GEN 3:16 | To the woman He said, “Multiplying I multiply your sorrow and your conception; you will bear children in sorrow, and your desire [is] toward your Man [[or husband]], and He [[or he]] will rule over you.” |
73 | GEN 3:17 | And to the man He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eat from the tree concerning which I have charged you, saying, You do not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on your account; in sorrow you eat of it [for] all days of your life, |
74 | GEN 3:18 | and it brings forth thorn and bramble for you, and you have eaten the herb of the field; |
75 | GEN 3:19 | by the sweat of your face you eat bread until your return to the ground, for you have been taken out of it, for dust you [are], and to dust you return.” |
76 | GEN 3:20 | And the man calls his wife’s name Eve, for she has been mother of all living. |
77 | GEN 3:21 | And YHWH God makes coats of skin [for] the man and his wife, and clothes them. |
78 | GEN 3:22 | And YHWH God says, “Behold, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and has also taken from the Tree of Life, and eaten, and lived for all time.” |
80 | GEN 3:24 | indeed, He casts out the man, and causes the cherubim to dwell at the east of the Garden of Eden with the sword of flame whirling around to guard the way of the Tree of Life. |
81 | GEN 4:1 | And the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceives and bears Cain, and says, “I have acquired a man by YHWH”; |
82 | GEN 4:2 | and she adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant of the ground. |
84 | GEN 4:4 | and Abel, he has brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, and from their fat ones; and YHWH looks to Abel and to his present, |
85 | GEN 4:5 | and to Cain and to his present He has not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen. |
86 | GEN 4:6 | And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your countenance fallen? |
87 | GEN 4:7 | Is there not, if you do well, acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin [[or a sin-offering]] is lying at the opening, and its [[or His]] desire [is] for you, and you rule over it [[or by Him]].” |
88 | GEN 4:8 | And Cain says to his brother Abel, [[“Let us go into the field”;]] and it comes to pass in their being in the field, that Cain rises up against his brother Abel, and slays him. |
89 | GEN 4:9 | And YHWH says to Cain, “Where [is] your brother Abel?” And he says, “I have not known; am I my brother’s keeper?” |
90 | GEN 4:10 | And He says, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground; |
91 | GEN 4:11 | and now, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened her mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your hand; |
92 | GEN 4:12 | when you till the ground, it will not add to give its strength to you—a wanderer, even a trembling one, you are in the earth.” |
93 | GEN 4:13 | And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to bear; |
94 | GEN 4:14 | behold, You have driven me today from off the face of the ground, and from Your face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it has been—everyone finding me will slay me.” |
95 | GEN 4:15 | And YHWH says to him, “Therefore, of any slayer of Cain it is required sevenfold”; and YHWH sets to Cain a token that none finding him will slay him. |
96 | GEN 4:16 | And Cain goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about east of Eden; |
97 | GEN 4:17 | and Cain knows his wife, and she conceives, and bears Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calls the name of the city, according to the name of his son—Enoch. |
99 | GEN 4:19 | And Lamech takes to himself two wives, the name of the first Adah, and the name of the second Zillah. |
100 | GEN 4:20 | And Adah bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock; |
101 | GEN 4:21 | and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling harp and pipe. |
102 | GEN 4:22 | And Zillah, she also bears Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] Naamah. |
103 | GEN 4:23 | And Lamech says to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For I have slain a man for my wound, || Even a young man for my hurt; |
104 | GEN 4:24 | For sevenfold is required for Cain, || And for Lamech seventy-sevenfold.” |
105 | GEN 4:25 | And Adam again knows his wife, and she bears a son, and calls his name Seth, “for God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel”: for Cain had slain him. |
