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.
4	GEN 1:4	God looked at it, and he saw that it was good. So God split up the light and the dark.
5	GEN 1:5	He called the light day time, and he called the dark night time. After that all happened, there was night time and there was morning time. That was day number 1.
6	GEN 1:6	Then God said, “I want something to split the water in half.”
7	GEN 1:7	So God made the sky to split the water in half. God left some of the water up high, and he left some of it on the ground, and he put the sky in the middle.
8	GEN 1:8	And when God made it, he called it sky. After that all happened, there was night time and there was morning time. That was day number 2.
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.
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.
13	GEN 1:13	After that all happened, there was night time and there was morning time. That was day number 3.
14	GEN 1:14	Then God said, “I want some lights in the sky. I want the lights to split up the day time from the night time. They will show the time. They will show the season, and the time of the year, and the time of day.
15	GEN 1:15	I will put these lights in the sky to shine on the earth.” So God did that.
17	GEN 1:17	God put all those lights in the sky to shine on the earth.
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.
19	GEN 1:19	After that all happened, there was night time and there was morning time. That was day number 4.
23	GEN 1:23	After that all happened, there was night time and there was morning time. That was day number 5.
24	GEN 1:24	Then God said, “I want the land to be full of all different sorts of animals. I want animals that are wild, and animals that are not wild. I want lizards, and insects, and other things that crawl around on the ground.” And God made it happen just like that.
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.”
27	GEN 1:27	So God made people to be like himself. He made them man and woman.
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.
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.”
36	GEN 2:5	At first, God didn’t send any rain on the earth, and there were no people to make the ground right for the plants. So nothing was growing on the earth at that time.
37	GEN 2:6	Water used to come up from under the ground and wet the top of all the ground.
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.
39	GEN 2:8	Then God made a garden in a place called Eden. It was in the east part of the land. And God put the man in that garden.
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.
43	GEN 2:12	It was really good gold. And there were pretty stones, and a good-smelling gum that comes from a tree too.
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.
52	GEN 2:21	So God made the man go to sleep. It was a really strong deep sleep. And while he was asleep, God took out one of his rib bones. Then God closed up the place where that rib was.
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.”
61	GEN 3:5	God knows what will happen if you eat fruit from that tree. He knows that if you eat fruit from that tree, you will know more things, like God himself. You will know if the things you do are good, or if they are bad.”
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.
64	GEN 3:8	Later on, in the cool part of the day, the man and the woman heard God walking in the garden. So they got behind some trees in the garden to hide from God.
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.”
71	GEN 3:15	The woman’s kids will hate you, and so will all their kids, and all the people that will be born later on. People will always be your enemies. And Snake, your kids will hate the woman’s kids, and so will all the snake mob that will be born later on. You snake mob will always be the people’s enemies. They will hit your heads, and you will bite their feet.”
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.
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.”
79	GEN 3:23	So God hunted them out of the garden. To get food, they had to dig the ground and grow plants. You know, God made that man out of the ground, and after they left the garden, that man had to dig that same ground.
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.
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.”
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.
97	GEN 4:17	Cain slept with his wife, like married people do together, and then she had a baby boy, called Enok. Cain built a town, and he also called it Enok, after his son.
