1 | GEN 1:1 | In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. |
3 | GEN 1:3 | God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. |
4 | GEN 1:4 | God saw the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness. |
5 | GEN 1:5 | God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” This was evening and morning, the first day. |
6 | GEN 1:6 | God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” |
8 | GEN 1:8 | God called the expanse “sky.” This was evening and morning, the second day. |
9 | GEN 1:9 | God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear.” It was so. |
10 | GEN 1:10 | God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” He saw that it was good. |
11 | GEN 1:11 | God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit whose seed is in the fruit, each according to its own kind.” It was so. |
12 | GEN 1:12 | The earth produced vegetation, plants producing seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit whose seed was in it, after their kind. God saw that it was good. |
13 | GEN 1:13 | This was evening and morning, the third day. |
14 | GEN 1:14 | God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to divide the day from the night and let them be as signs, for seasons, for days and years. |
16 | GEN 1:16 | God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. |
17 | GEN 1:17 | God set them in the sky to give light upon the earth, |
18 | GEN 1:18 | to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. |
19 | GEN 1:19 | This was evening and morning, the fourth day. |
20 | GEN 1:20 | God said, “Let the waters be filled with great numbers of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the expanse of the sky.” |
21 | GEN 1:21 | God created the great sea creatures, as well as every living creature after its kind, creatures that move and which fill the waters everywhere, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. |
22 | GEN 1:22 | God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas. Let birds multiply on the earth.” |
23 | GEN 1:23 | This was evening and morning, the fifth day. |
24 | GEN 1:24 | God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures, each according to its own kind, livestock, creeping things, and beasts of the earth, each according to its own kind.” It was so. |
25 | GEN 1:25 | God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, the livestock after their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground after its kind. He saw that it was good. |
26 | GEN 1:26 | God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” |
28 | GEN 1:28 | God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply. Fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” |
29 | GEN 1:29 | God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the surface of all the earth, and every tree with fruit which has seed in it. They will be food to you. |
30 | GEN 1:30 | To every beast of the earth, to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, and to every creature that has the breath of life I have given every green plant for food.” It was so. |
31 | GEN 1:31 | God saw everything that he had made. Behold, it was very good. This was evening and morning, the sixth day. |
32 | GEN 2:1 | Then the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the living things that filled them. |
33 | GEN 2:2 | On the seventh day God came to the end of his work which he had done, and so he rested on the seventh day from all his work. |
34 | GEN 2:3 | God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he rested from all his work which he had done in his creation. |
35 | GEN 2:4 | These were the events concerning the heavens and the earth, when they were created, on the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens. |
36 | GEN 2:5 | No bush of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground. |
38 | GEN 2:7 | Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being. |
39 | GEN 2:8 | Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. |
40 | GEN 2:9 | Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. This included the tree of life that was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. |
42 | GEN 2:11 | The name of the first is Pishon. It is the one which flows throughout the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. |
45 | GEN 2:14 | The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Ashur. The fourth river is the Euphrates. |
47 | GEN 2:16 | Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree in the garden you may freely eat. |
48 | GEN 2:17 | But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not eat, for on the day that you eat from it, you will surely die.” |
49 | GEN 2:18 | Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper suitable for him.” |
50 | GEN 2:19 | Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the sky. Then he brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. |
51 | GEN 2:20 | The man gave names to all the livestock, to all the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field. But for the man himself there was found no helper suitable for him. |
52 | GEN 2:21 | Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, so the man slept. Yahweh God took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh where he took the rib. |
53 | GEN 2:22 | With the rib that Yahweh God had taken from the man, he made a woman and brought her to the man. |
54 | GEN 2:23 | The man said, “This time, this one is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken out of man.” |
55 | GEN 2:24 | Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, he will be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. |
56 | GEN 2:25 | They were both naked, the man and his wife, but were not ashamed. |
57 | GEN 3:1 | Now the serpent was more shrewd than any other beast of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, 'You must not eat from any tree of the garden'?” |
58 | GEN 3:2 | The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, |
59 | GEN 3:3 | but concerning the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God said, 'You may not eat it, nor may you touch it, or you will die.'” |
60 | GEN 3:4 | The serpent said to the woman, “You will surely not die. |
61 | GEN 3:5 | For God knows that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” |
62 | GEN 3:6 | When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. Then she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. |
63 | GEN 3:7 | The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. |
64 | GEN 3:8 | They heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, so the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. |
65 | GEN 3:9 | Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” |
66 | GEN 3:10 | The man said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. So I hid myself.” |
67 | GEN 3:11 | God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” |
68 | GEN 3:12 | The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” |
69 | GEN 3:13 | Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent lied to me, and I ate.” |
70 | GEN 3:14 | Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you alone among all the livestock and all the beasts of the field. It is on your stomach that you will go, and it is dust that you will eat all the days of your life. |
71 | GEN 3:15 | I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.” |
72 | GEN 3:16 | To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in having children; it is in pain that you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, but he will rule over you.” |
73 | GEN 3:17 | To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree, concerning which I commanded you, saying, 'You may not eat from it,' cursed is the ground because of you; through painful work you will eat from it all the days of your life. |
74 | GEN 3:18 | It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. |
75 | GEN 3:19 | By the sweat of your face you will eat bread, until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you will return.” |
78 | GEN 3:22 | Yahweh God said, “Now the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now he must not be allowed to reach out with his hand, take from the tree of life, eat it, and live forever.” |
79 | GEN 3:23 | Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. |
80 | GEN 3:24 | So God drove the man out of the garden, and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword that turned every way, in order to guard the way to the tree of life. |
81 | GEN 4:1 | The man slept with Eve his wife. She conceived and gave birth to Cain. She said, “I have produced a man with Yahweh's help.” |
82 | GEN 4:2 | Then she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel became a shepherd, but Cain cultivated the soil. |
84 | GEN 4:4 | As for Abel, he brought some of the firstborn of his flock and some of the fat. Yahweh accepted Abel and his offering, |
85 | GEN 4:5 | but Cain and his offering he did not accept. So Cain was very angry, and he scowled. |
86 | GEN 4:6 | Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry and why are you scowling? |
87 | GEN 4:7 | If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin crouches at the door and desires to control you, but you must rule over it.” |
88 | GEN 4:8 | Cain spoke to Abel his brother. It came about that while they were in the fields, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. |
89 | GEN 4:9 | Then Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?” |
90 | GEN 4:10 | Yahweh said, “What have you done? Your brother's blood is calling out to me from the ground. |
91 | GEN 4:11 | Now cursed are you from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. |
92 | GEN 4:12 | When you cultivate the ground, from now on it will not yield to you its strength. A fugitive and a wanderer you will be in the earth.” |
93 | GEN 4:13 | Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. |
94 | GEN 4:14 | Indeed, you have driven me out this day from this ground, and I will be hidden from your face. I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” |
95 | GEN 4:15 | Yahweh said to him, “If anyone kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain, so that if anyone found him, that person would not attack him. |
96 | GEN 4:16 | So Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh and lived in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. |
99 | GEN 4:19 | Lamech took for himself two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah. |
102 | GEN 4:22 | As for Zillah, she bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of tools of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. |
103 | GEN 4:23 | Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say. For I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me. |
104 | GEN 4:24 | If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech will be avenged seventy-seven times.” |
105 | GEN 4:25 | Adam slept with his wife again, and she bore another son. She called his name Seth and said, “God has given me another son in the place of Abel, for Cain killed him.” |
107 | GEN 5:1 | This is the record of the descendants of Adam. On the day that God created mankind, he made them in his own likeness. |
109 | GEN 5:3 | When Adam had lived 130 years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and he called his name Seth. |
110 | GEN 5:4 | After Adam became the father of Seth, he lived eight hundred years. He became the father of more sons and daughters. |
111 | GEN 5:5 | Adam lived 930 years, and then he died. |
112 | GEN 5:6 | When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father of Enosh. |
113 | GEN 5:7 | After he became the father of Enosh, he lived 807 years and became the father of more sons and daughters. |
114 | GEN 5:8 | Seth lived 912 years, and then he died. |
115 | GEN 5:9 | When Enosh had lived ninety years, he became the father of Kenan. |
116 | GEN 5:10 | After he became the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years. He became the father of more sons and daughters. |
117 | GEN 5:11 | Enosh lived 905 years, and then he died. |
118 | GEN 5:12 | When Kenan had lived seventy years, he became the father of Mahalalel. |
