And God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.

And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

But a stream would rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground.

Then Yahweh God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and so the man became a living being.

And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, toward the east; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.

Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.

Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”

And out of the ground Yahweh God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and He brought each to the man to see what he would call it; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

And the man gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the sky and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.

So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.

And Yahweh God fashioned the rib, which He had taken from the man, into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

Then 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, so she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.

Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have gotten a man with the help of Yahweh.”

And again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a cultivator of the ground.

When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth.”

Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and it will be that whoever finds me will kill me.”

So Yahweh said to him, “Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” And Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one who found him would strike him.

Then Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.

And Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, You wives of Lamech, Give ear to my word, For I have killed a man for striking me; And a boy for wounding me;

Then Adam knew his wife again; and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, for she said, “God has set for me another seed in place of Abel, for Cain killed him.”

And to Seth, to him also, a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of Yahweh.

When Adam had lived 130 years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.

And Lamech lived 182 years and became the father of a son.

These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among those in his generations; Noah walked with God.

You shall make a window for the ark, and complete it to one cubit from the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean, two, a male and his female;

Then God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.
