And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
But the LORD God called out to the man, “Where are you?”
And he said, Who told thee that
thou wast naked? Hast
thou eaten of the tree,
whereof I commanded thee that
thou shouldest not eat?
“Who told you that you were naked?” asked the LORD God. “Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

ate it.”
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that
thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent
beguiled me, and I did eat.
Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” “The serpent
deceived me,” she replied, “and I
ate.”
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because
thou hast done this,
thou art
cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy
belly shalt
thou go, and dust shalt
thou eat all the days of thy life:
So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all
livestock and every beast of the field! On your
belly will you go, and dust you will eat, all the days of your life.
And I will put
enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall
bruise thy head, and

bruise his
heel.

enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will
crush your head, and you will strike his
heel.”

childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
And unto Adam he said, Because
thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying,
Thou shalt not eat of it:
cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt
thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
And to Adam He said: “Because you have
listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat,
cursed is the ground because of you; through
toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

thou shalt eat the
herb of the field;

sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, till
thou return unto the ground; for out of it
wast thou taken: for dust
thou art, and unto dust shalt
thou return.

sweat of your
brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground— because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”

Cain, Why art
thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

angry,” said the LORD to
Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is
crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
“What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood
cries out to Me from the ground.
And now art
thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
Now you are
cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
When
thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a
fugitive and a
vagabond shalt
thou be in the earth.
When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a
fugitive and a
wanderer on the earth.”
Behold,
thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be
hid; and I shall be a
fugitive and a
vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall
slay me.
Behold, this day You have driven me from the face of the earth, and from Your face I will be hidden; I will be a
fugitive and a
wanderer on the earth, and
whoever finds me will kill me.”

gopher wood; rooms shalt
thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Make for
yourself an ark of
gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
A window shalt
thou make to the ark, and in a
cubit shalt
thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt
thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt
thou make it.
You are to make a roof for the ark, finish its walls a
cubit from the top, place a door in the side of the ark, and build lower, middle, and upper decks.
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.

And the LORD said unto
Noah, Come
thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
You are to take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its
mate; a pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its
mate;
Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.
And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again
curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again
smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
When the LORD smelled the pleasing
aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I
curse the ground because of man, even
though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.

And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman,
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
Please say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake, and on account of you my life will be
spared.”
And Pharaoh called
Abram, and said, What is this that
thou hast done unto me? why
didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
So Pharaoh summoned
Abram and asked, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?
Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”
Is not the whole land before thee? separate
thyself, I pray thee, from me: if
thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if
thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
Is not the whole land before you? Now separate
yourself from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and
beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed
Sodom and
Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as
thou comest unto Zoar.
And Lot looked out and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan, all the way to Zoar, was well watered like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed
Sodom and
Gomorrah.)
And the LORD said unto
Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where
thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
After Lot had departed, the LORD said to
Abram, “Now lift up your eyes from the place where you are, and look to the north and south and east and west,
For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
for all the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring
forever.
That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest
thou shouldest say, I have made
Abram rich:
that I will not accept even a thread, or a
strap of a
sandal, or anything that belongs to you, lest you should say, ‘I have made
Abram rich.’
And
Abram said, Lord GOD, what
wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the
steward of my house is this
Eliezer of Damascus?
But
Abram replied, “O Lord GOD, what can You give me, since I remain childless, and the heir of my house is
Eliezer of Damascus?”
And
Abram said, Behold, to me
thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
And the LORD took him outside and said, “Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if you are able.” Then He told him, “So shall your offspring be.”
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

“
Hagar, servant of Sarai,” he said, “where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I am running away from my
mistress Sarai,” she replied.
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold,
thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name
Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy
affliction.
The angel of the LORD proceeded: “Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him
Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your cry of
affliction.
And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her,
Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that
seeth me?
So
Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen the One who sees me!”
And when
Abram was
ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to
Abram, and said unto him, I am the
Almighty God; walk before me, and be
thou perfect.

thou art a stranger, all the land of
Canaan, for an
everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

Canaan—as an eternal possession; and I will be their God.”
And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.
And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife,
thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but
Sarah shall her name be.
Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be
Sarah.
And God said,
Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and
thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an
everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
But God replied, “Your wife
Sarah will indeed bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an
everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
And I will
fetch a
morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as
thou hast said.
And I will bring a
bit of bread so that you may refresh
yourselves. This is why you have passed your servant’s way. After that, you may continue on your way.” “
Yes,” they replied, “you may do as you have said.”
But
Sarah was afraid, so she denied it and said, “I did not
laugh.” “No,” replied the LORD, “but you did
laugh.”
And Abraham drew near, and said,
Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Abraham
stepped forward and said, “Will You really
sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city:
wilt thou also destroy and not
spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
What if there are fifty righteous ones in the city? Will You really
sweep it away and not
spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous ones who are there?
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
Then Abraham answered, “Now that I have
ventured to speak to the Lord—
though I am but dust and ashes—
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous:
wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
suppose the fifty righteous ones lack five. Will You destroy the whole city for the lack of five?” He replied, “If I find forty-five there, I will not destroy it.”
And the men said unto Lot, Hast
thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and
whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
Then the two men said to Lot, “Do you have
anyone else here—a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, or
anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here,
And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that
mocked unto his sons in law.
So Lot went out and spoke to the sons-in-law who were
pledged in marriage to his daughters. “Get up,” he said. “Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law
thought he was
joking.
And when the morning arose, then the angels
hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest
thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
At
daybreak the angels
hurried Lot along, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.”
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
As soon as the men had brought them out, one of them said, “Run for your lives! Do not look back, and do not stop
anywhere on the plain!
Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”
Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and
thou hast
magnified thy mercy, which
thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
Your servant has indeed found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness by
sparing my life. But I cannot run to the mountains; the
disaster will overtake me, and I will die.
And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not
demolish the town you indicate.
Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till
thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.
And it came to pass on the
morrow, that the
firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay
yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go
thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Look, I
slept with my father last night. Let us get him
drunk with wine again
tonight so you can go in and sleep with him and we can preserve our father’s line.”
But God came to
Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold,
thou art but a dead man, for the woman which
thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.
One night, however, God came to
Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”
But
Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord,
wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
Now
Abimelech had not gone near her, so he replied, “Lord, would You destroy a nation even
though it is innocent?
And God said unto him in a dream,
Yea, I know that
thou didst this in the
integrity of thy heart; for I also
withheld thee from
sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
Then God said to
Abimelech in the dream, “
Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from
sinning against Me. That is why I did not let you touch her.
Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet; he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, be aware that you will surely die—you and all who belong to you.”
Then
Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast
thou done unto us? and what have I
offended thee, that
thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin?
thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
Then
Abimelech called Abraham and asked, “What have you done to us? How have I
sinned against you, that you have brought such
tremendous guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done.”
And
Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest
thou, that
thou hast done this thing?
And Abraham said, Because I
thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will
slay me for my wife’s sake.
Abraham replied, “I thought to myself, ‘Surely there is no fear of God in this place. They will kill me on account of my wife.’
And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father—though not the daughter of my mother—and she became my wife.
And it came to pass, when God caused me to
wander from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which
thou shalt
shew unto me; at every place
whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
So when God had me journey from my father’s house, I said to
Sarah, ‘This is how you can show your
loyalty to me: Wherever we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
And unto
Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a
thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
And he said to
Sarah, “See, I am giving your brother a
thousand pieces of silver. It is your
vindication before all who are with you; you are completely cleared.”
And it came to pass at that time, that
Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that
thou doest:
At that time
Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
Now therefore
swear unto me here by God that
thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee,
thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein
thou hast
sojourned.
Now, therefore,
swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
And
Abimelech said, I
wot not who hath done this thing: neither
didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until
today.”
And
Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven
ewe lambs which
thou hast set by themselves?
and
Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven
ewe lambs?”
And he said, For these seven
ewe lambs shalt
thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have
digged this well.
He replied, “You are to accept the seven
ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I
dug this well.”
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom
thou lovest, and get thee into the land of
Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
“Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of
Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the
lad, neither do
thou any thing unto him: for now I know that
thou fearest God, seeing
thou hast not
withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
“Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not
withheld your only son from me.”
And said, By myself have I
sworn, saith the LORD, for because
thou hast done this thing, and hast not
withheld thy son, thine only son:
saying, “By Myself I have
sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not
withheld your only son,
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
Hear us, my lord:
thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our
sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall
withhold from thee his
sepulchre, but that
thou mayest
bury thy dead.
“
Listen to us, sir. You are God’s chosen one among us.
Bury your dead in the finest of our tombs. None of us will
withhold his tomb for
burying your dead.”
And he spake unto Ephron in the
audience of the people of the land, saying, But if
thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will
bury my dead there.
and said to Ephron in their presence, “If you will please
listen to me, I will pay you the price of the field. Accept it from me, so that I may
bury my dead there.”
And I will make thee
swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that
thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the
Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
and I will have you
swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the
Canaanites among whom I am dwelling,
But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
but will go to my country and my kindred to take a wife for my son Isaac.”
And the servant said unto him,
Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence
thou camest?
The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to follow me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the land from which you came?”
And Abraham said unto him,
Beware thou that
thou bring not my son thither again.
Abraham replied, “Make sure that you do not take my son back there.
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that
sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and
thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me from my father’s house and my native land, who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land’—He will send His angel before you so that you can take a wife for my son from there.
And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
And if the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”
And let it come to pass, that the
damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that
thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that
thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
Now may it happen that the
girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your
jar that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. By this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
And said, Whose daughter art
thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to
lodge in?
“Whose daughter are you?” he asked. “Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to
spend the night?”
And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
“Come, you who are blessed by the LORD,” said
Laban. “Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
And my master made me
swear, saying,
Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the
Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
My master made me
swear an oath and said, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the
Canaanites in whose land I dwell,
But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
but you shall go to my father’s house and to my kindred to take a wife for my son.’
