Bible, King James Version
Genesis.1
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light
from the darkness.
[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And
the evening and the morning were the first day.
[6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the waters.
[7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under
the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was
so.
[8] And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning
were the second day.
[9] And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together
unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
[10] And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of
the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
[11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in
itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
[12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his
kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his
kind: and God saw that it was good.
[13] And the evening and the morning were the third day.
[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for
seasons, and for days, and years:
[15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth: and it was so.
[16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
[17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon
the earth,
[18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the
light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
[19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
[20] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the
open firmament of heaven.
[21] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth,
which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill
the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
[23] And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
[24] And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after
his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his
kind: and it was so.
[25] And God made the beast of the earth after his
kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon
the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the
image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto
them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:
and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed,
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is
the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and
to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I
have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
[31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very
good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis.2
[1] Thus the heavens and the earth were finished,
and all the host of them.
[2] And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he
rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in
it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
[4] These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they
were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the
heavens,
[5] And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every
herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to
rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
[6] But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face
of the ground.
[7] And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul.
[8] And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in
Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
[9] And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the
midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
[10] And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence
it was parted, and became into four heads.
[11] The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the
whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
[12] And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx
stone.
[13] And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that
compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
[14] And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth
toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
[15] And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden
to dress it and to keep it.
[16] And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the
garden thou mayest freely eat:
[17] 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.
[18] And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him an help meet for him.
[19] And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field,
and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he
would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that
was the name thereof.
[20] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and
to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help
meet for him.
[21] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon
Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh
instead thereof;
[22] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a
woman, and brought her unto the man.
[23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
[24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
[25] And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not
ashamed.
Genisis.3
[1] Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast
of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
[2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden:
[3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,
God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest
ye die.
[4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
[5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil.
[6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it
was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she
took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband
with her; and he did eat.
[7] And the eyes of them both were opened, and they
knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons.
[8] And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in
the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the
presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
[9] And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art
thou?
[10] And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid,
because I was naked; and I hid myself.
[11] 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?
[12] And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she
gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
[13] 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.
[14] 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:
[15] And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his
heel.
[16] Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire
shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
[17] 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;
[18] Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou
shalt eat the herb of the field;
[19] In the 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.
[20] And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of
all living.
[21] Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of
skins, and clothed them.
[22] And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is
become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth
his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
[23] Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to
till the ground from whence he was taken.
[24] So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of
Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the
way of the tree of life.
Genesis.6
[1] And it came to pass, when men began to
multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
[2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were
fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
[3] And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with
man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and
twenty years.
[4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after
that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they
bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men
of renown.
[5] And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only
evil continually.
[6]
And it repented the LORD that he had
made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
[7] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created
from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing,
and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
[8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
[9] These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and
perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
[10] And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
[11] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was
filled with violence.
[12] And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt;
for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
[13] And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before
me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I
will destroy them with the earth.
[14] Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in
the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
[15] 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.
[16] 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.
[17] And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the
earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under
heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
[18] 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.
[19] And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort
shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall
be male and female.
[20] Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind,
of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort
shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
[21] And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou
shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for
them.
[22] Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so
did he.
Genesis.7
[1] 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.
[2] 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.
[3] Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female;
to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
[4] For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the
earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I
have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
[5] And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
[6] And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters
was upon the earth.
[7] And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'
wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
[8] Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of
fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
[9] There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male
and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
[10] And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the
flood were upon the earth.
[11] In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the
fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were
opened.
[12] And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
[13] In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and
Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his
sons with them, into the ark;
[14] They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle
after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
[15] And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all
flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
[16] And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh,
as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
[17] And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters
increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
[18] And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon
the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
[19] And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all
the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
[20] Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the
mountains were covered.
[21] And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl,
and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth, and every man:
[22] All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that
was in the dry land, died.
[23] And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the
face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and
the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah
only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
[24] And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty
days.
Gen.8
[1] And God remembered Noah, and every
living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God
made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
[2] The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were
stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
[3] And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and
after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
[4] And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth
day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
[5] And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month:
in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the
mountains seen.
[6] And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah
opened the window of the ark which he had made:
[7] And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until
the waters were dried up from off the earth.
[8] Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were
abated from off the face of the ground;
[9] But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she
returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the
whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in
unto him into the ark.
[10] And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth
the dove out of the ark;
[11] And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her
mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were
abated from off the earth.
[12] And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove;
which returned not again unto him any more.
[13] And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in
the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up
from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and
looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
[14] And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of
the month, was the earth dried.
[15] And God spake unto Noah, saying,
[16] Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and
thy sons' wives with thee.
[17] Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee,
of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the
earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
[18] And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his
sons' wives with him:
[19] Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and
whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of
the ark.
[20] And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every
clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the
altar.
[21] 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.
[22] While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold
and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis.9
[1] And God blessed Noah and his sons, and
said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
[2] And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every
beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth
upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are
they delivered.
[3] Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as
the green herb have I given you all things.
[4] But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof,
shall ye not eat.
[5] And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the
hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the
hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
[6] Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed:
for in the image of God made he man.
[7] And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly
in the earth, and multiply therein.
[8] And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
[9] And I, behold, I establish my
covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
[10] And with every living creature that is with you, of the
fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all
that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
[11] And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all
flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there
any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
[12] And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make
between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for
perpetual generations:
[13] I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of
a covenant between me and the earth.
[14] And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the
earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
[15] And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you
and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more
become a flood to destroy all flesh.
[16] And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it,
that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every
living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
[17] And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant,
which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the
earth.
[18] And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem,
and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
[19] These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole
earth overspread.
[20] And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a
vineyard:
[21] And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was
uncovered within his tent.
[22] And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his
father, and told his two brethren without.
[23] And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both
their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their
father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's
nakedness.
[24] And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son
had done unto him.
[25] And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall
he be unto his brethren.
[26] And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan
shall be his servant.
[27] God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents
of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
[28] And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty
years.
[29] And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years:
and he died.
