1	GEN 1:1	In the very beginning, long, long ago, God made the earth below and the heavens above. At the time when God first started creating the world,
3	GEN 1:3	Then God spoke. “Let there be light,” he said. And then the light came out.
9	GEN 1:9	And God spoke again. “Let the water come together in one place,” he said, “so that the earth can appear.” Then the water came together in one place and the earth appeared.
10	GEN 1:10	God called the earth “Dry land.” And the water that came together he called “Sea.” And God looked and saw that the dry land and the sea were both good.
14	GEN 1:14	Then God spoke again. “Let lights come out in the sky. Let them light up the world, so that the day is separate from the night, and so that all the days are separate. Day and night will follow one after the other. And let them light up the world, so that the dry season will be separate from the wet season. The dry season and the wet season will also follow one after the other.”
16	GEN 1:16	Then God made two big lights. He made the sun and put it in the sky, so that it would light up the world and rule over the day. Then he made the moon and put it in the sky to rule over the night. And then he made all the stars. He made the two big lights so that the light and the darkness would be separate. Then God looked and saw that the sun and the moon and the stars were all good.
19	GEN 1:19	Then night came. That was the fourth night. And then a new day dawned and it was morning.
21	GEN 1:21	So God made creatures like big whales and dugongs and groper and other kinds of fish that filled the sea. And he made birds. Then God looked and saw that they were all good.
23	GEN 1:23	Then night came. That was the fifth night. And then a new day dawned and it was morning.
26	GEN 1:26	Then God spoke again. “Now we will make people and they will be like us. And they will rule over the fish and the birds and the animals and the snakes.”
28	GEN 1:28	And then he blessed them and said to them, “Have children, and let them have children too, so that they can live in the world and rule over it. You will rule over the fish and the birds and the animals.
30	GEN 1:30	And I have given plants to the animals and to the birds for their food.”
31	GEN 1:31	And God looked and saw that all the things he had made were good. Then night came. That was the sixth night. And then a new day dawned and it was morning.
32	GEN 2:1	In that way God made the world and the sky and everything on the earth and in the sky and in the sea. And then he finished his work.
35	GEN 2:4	That is how God made the world. At first when Yahweh God made the world,
36	GEN 2:5	there were no plants on the land and no seeds had started to grow. And he hadn't yet made the rain fall on the ground. And there were no people to grow trees and plants.
38	GEN 2:7	Then Yahweh God took some soil and made a man from it. He blew his breath into the man's nose so that he could live. And the man came alive.
39	GEN 2:8	Then Yahweh God planted trees and other plants in a place called Eden, in the east. And there he put the man he had made.
41	GEN 2:10	A river flowed in Eden and watered the ground. It flowed on further and divided into four.
44	GEN 2:13	Another river called Gihon flows through the land of Cush.
45	GEN 2:14	Another river called Tigris flows to the east through the land of Assyria and further on. And another river is called Euphrates. They are the four rivers.
54	GEN 2:23	The man said, “Ah! Here is someone like me! My bone is in her, and also my flesh. Yahweh God has made this person from a man today, so her name is ‘Woman.’”
62	GEN 3:6	Then the woman looked at the tree and saw that it was beautiful. She thought, “It would be good if I could eat this fruit. And it would be good to be wise.” And so she took some and ate it and gave some to her husband. Then he ate some too.
63	GEN 3:7	After they had eaten it, suddenly their minds were opened and they realized that they were naked. So they sewed some fig leaves together and put them on.
76	GEN 3:20	And the man was called Adam and he named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all people. The name Eve means “living.”
77	GEN 3:21	And Yahweh God made clothes from animal skins for Adam and his wife, and he gave them the clothes to wear.
79	GEN 3:23	So Yahweh God sent the man and the woman out of Eden. He said to Adam, “I took some soil and I made you. So from today you will have to work in the soil.”
81	GEN 4:1	Adam and his wife Eve lived together. They slept together and after a while Eve knew that she was pregnant. Later she gave birth to a son and said, “Yahweh has helped me, and so now I have given birth to a son.” And she named him Cain, because Cain means “I have got.”
82	GEN 4:2	Later she gave birth to another son and named him Abel. So now there were two boys. When Abel grew up he looked after sheep, but Cain grew trees and plants for food.
84	GEN 4:4	His younger brother Abel killed the first lamb of one of his sheep, and he gave the best fat as an offering to Yahweh. Yahweh was pleased with Abel and the fat.
86	GEN 4:6	Yahweh said to him, “Why are you angry? And why has your face changed?
88	GEN 4:8	Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go out into the bush.” And they went into the bush together, and Cain killed his brother there. He hit him and he died.
93	GEN 4:13	Then Cain said, “That is terrible, driving me away from this place and from yourself. Because of your words I will have to suffer greatly. After today I will be wandering around homeless, and anyone who finds me will kill me.”
95	GEN 4:15	But Yahweh said, “No. If anyone kills you I will make sure that people pay back and kill seven others.” And Yahweh put a mark on Cain so that people wouldn't kill him. Then he warned the people about Cain.
96	GEN 4:16	And Cain left Yahweh and went away. He lived in another country called “Wandering,” which is east of Eden.
98	GEN 4:18	Later Cain's son Enoch had a son and he called him Irad. And Irad's son was called Mehujael. Then Mehujael had a son and he was called Methushael. Then Methushael had a son and he was called Lamech.
99	GEN 4:19	Lamech had two wives, Adah and Zillah.
100	GEN 4:20	Adah gave birth to a baby boy and she called him Jabal because Jabal means “to lead.” Then when Jabal grew up he was the ancestor of people who look after sheep and cattle. And he and his family were the first to live in tents.
103	GEN 4:23	Lamech said to his two wives, “Listen now, Adah and Zillah. I have killed a man because he hit me first.
105	GEN 4:25	Adam and his wife Eve had another son. After he was born, Eve said, “God has given me another baby boy. My first son died, because Cain killed him. But this one will take his place.” So she named him Seth because Seth means “he has given.”
106	GEN 4:26	When Seth grew up he had a son and he called him Enosh. At that time people began worshipping Yahweh.
107	GEN 5:1	When God created people, he made them like himself. He created them male and female. Then he blessed them and said, “You will be called ‘people’.” These are the names of Adam's descendants.
109	GEN 5:3	When Adam was 130 years old, he had a son who was like himself and he called him Seth.
110	GEN 5:4	After that Adam lived another 800 years and he had other children.
113	GEN 5:7	After that he lived another 807 years and he had other children.
116	GEN 5:10	After that he lived another 815 years and he had other children.
119	GEN 5:13	After that he lived another 840 years and he had other children.
122	GEN 5:16	After that he lived another 830 years and he had other children.
125	GEN 5:19	After that he lived another 800 years and he had other children.
128	GEN 5:22	Enoch had fellowship with God. And he had other children, and when he was 365 years old Enoch disappeared, because God took him away.
132	GEN 5:26	After that he lived another 782 years and he had other children.
136	GEN 5:30	After that, Lamech lived another 595 years and he had other children.
141	GEN 6:3	Then there were very big, tall people living there. They were the children and the grandchildren of the sons of God and their wives. They were very strong, so everyone used to talk about them. And Yahweh said, “I don't want people to live forever. They should grow old and die, because they are only people. So from now on they will live for 120 years and that is all.”
149	GEN 6:11	All the other people were wicked. They were always fighting each other. God looked down and saw all those people, and they were very, very bad.
152	GEN 6:14	So I want you to build yourself a boat. Make it from good cypress pine wood. And when you build it, make many rooms in it. Put sticky tar on the wood along the inside and along the outside, so that the water won't come into the boat.
153	GEN 6:15	You must make it very long, 133 metres from the front to the back. And you must make it very big, 22 metres from the left side to the right. From the ground to the top it must be 13 metres.
160	GEN 6:22	And Noah did everything that God told him, everything that he wanted.
162	GEN 7:2	Take some animals on to the boat. Take some of the ones that you can eat, seven males and seven females of each kind. And take some of the tabooed ones that you must not eat, one male and one female of each kind.
163	GEN 7:3	And also take seven male birds and seven female birds of each kind. You must take all those animals and birds so that they will stay alive now and so that they will increase again in the world later on.
165	GEN 7:5	And Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
166	GEN 7:6	At the time when the first rain fell, Noah was 600 years old.
168	GEN 7:8	And all the male and female animals and all the male and female birds went inside the boat, the ones that they could eat and the tabooed ones they couldn't eat.
170	GEN 7:10	Then they waited and waited for seven days. And then the first rain fell on the ground.
171	GEN 7:11	Noah was 600 years old. One month had already passed and now it was full moon, and a great amount of water burst out of the springs under the ground. And the heavens opened and the rain poured down from above.
174	GEN 7:14	All the many animals and birds, those that lived in the bush and those that people looked after, they all went into the boat, big ones and little ones.
177	GEN 7:17	The rain fell from above for forty days and nights. And the water bubbled up from under the ground. It covered the land and it rose up and up until the boat began to float.
180	GEN 7:20	It kept on rising and rising until it was seven metres above the tops of the mountains. And there the water stopped.
181	GEN 7:21	All the other animals and birds and people died.
184	GEN 7:24	And the flood stayed for five months.
188	GEN 8:4	It was full moon again now. And the boat landed on a mountain called Ararat.
189	GEN 8:5	And the water kept on going down and down. Then two more months passed and it was new moon now. Then the mountain tops appeared from the water that had covered them.
190	GEN 8:6	After forty days Noah opened a window in the boat.
191	GEN 8:7	And he sent out a crow from the window. It flew away and kept on circling around and around. It didn't come back but it kept flying around until all the water was gone.
195	GEN 8:11	And then late in the afternoon it came back to him, bringing a green leaf to the boat. So Noah knew that there was no more water now.
197	GEN 8:13	After the boat landed five months passed. Then at the new moon the water was all gone. Noah was an old man, he was 601 years old now. He opened the roof of the boat and looked out over the land and saw that the ground was getting dry.
198	GEN 8:14	After two more months, before the new moon, the land was quite dry.
203	GEN 8:19	And the animals and birds all came out in groups of their own kind.
206	GEN 8:22	“This is the way it will be. People will grow food again in this world and gather it. The hot season and the cold season will follow one another until the world is finished. And night and day will always follow each other too.”
208	GEN 9:2	All the animals, birds and fish will be afraid of you. And you will rule over them.
211	GEN 9:5	“If one of you kills another person, other people will punish you. And if a dangerous animal kills you, then I will pay it back and kill it.
233	GEN 9:27	God will give Japheth many children and they will increase. And his descendants will live with Shem's people. Japheth will also rule over Canaan.” The name Japheth means “they will become many.”
234	GEN 9:28	After the flood had ended Noah lived another 350 years.
238	GEN 10:3	And these were the sons of Gomer, the eldest son. Their names were Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.
239	GEN 10:4	And these were the sons of his younger brother, Javan. Their names were Elishah, Spain, Cyprus and Rhodes.
242	GEN 10:7	These were the sons of the eldest, Cush. Their names were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca. And Raamah's two sons were called Sheba and Dedan.
245	GEN 10:10	First Nimrod ruled over three cities, Babylon, Erech and Accad. They were all in Babylonia.
246	GEN 10:11	Then he went from Babylonia to Assyria and there his workers built many houses. They went on and on building until there were four cities called Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah
248	GEN 10:13	Ham's son, Egypt, had seven sons. Their names were Lydia, Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh,
