Genesis 1

    ²And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.

    ³And God said: Be light made. And light was made.

    ⁴And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.

    ⁵And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.

    ⁶And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.

    ⁷And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.

    ⁸And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.

    ⁹God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done.

    ¹⁰And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

    ¹¹And he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.

    ¹²And the earth brought forth the green herb, and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

    ¹³And the evening and the morning were the third day.

    ¹⁴And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

    ¹⁵To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.

    ¹⁶And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars.

    ¹⁷And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth.

    ¹⁸And to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

    ¹⁹And the evening and morning were the fourth day.

    ²⁰God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven.

    ²¹And God created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

    ²²And he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth.

    ²³And the evening and morning were the fifth day.

    ²⁴And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.

    ²⁵And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

    ²⁶And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth.

    ²⁷And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them.

    ²⁸And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth.

    ²⁹And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat:

    ³⁰And to all the beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done.

    ³¹And God saw all the things that he had made, and they were very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 2

    ²And 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 done.

    ³And he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

    ⁴These are the generations of the heaven and the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the heaven and the earth:

    ⁵And every plant of the field before it spring up in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew: for the Lord God had not rained upon the earth; and there was not a man to till the earth.

    ⁶But a spring rose out the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.

    ⁷And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

    ⁸And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed.

    ⁹And the Lord God brought forth of the ground all manner of trees, fair to behold, and pleasant to eat of: the tree of life also in the midst of paradise: and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

    ¹⁰And a river went out the place of pleasure to water paradise, which from thence is divided into four heads.

    ¹¹The name of the one is Phison: that is it which compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold groweth.

    ¹²And the gold of that land is very good: there is found bdellium, and the onyx stone.

    ¹³And the name of the second river is Gehon: the same is it that compasseth all the land of Ethiopia

    ¹⁴And the name of the third river is Tigris: the same passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

    ¹⁵And the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise for pleasure, to dress it, and keep it.

    ¹⁶And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:

    ¹⁷But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. for in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.

    ¹⁸And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.

    ¹⁹And the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever Adam called any living creature the same is its name.

    ²⁰And Adam called all the beasts by their names, and all the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the field: but for Adam there was not found a helper like himself.

    ²¹Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and filled up flesh for it.

    ²²And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam.

    ²³And Adam said: This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.

    ²⁴Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.

    ²⁵And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed.

Genesis 3

    ²And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:

    ³But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.

    ⁴And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.

    ⁵For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.

    ⁶And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband who did eat.

    ⁷And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.

    ⁸And when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in paradise at the afternoon air, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God, amidst the trees of paradise.

    ⁹And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?

    ¹⁰And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.

    ¹¹And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?

    ¹²And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

    ¹³And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.

    ¹⁴And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and the beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

    ¹⁵I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

    ¹⁶To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee.

    ¹⁷And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.

    ¹⁸Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou eat the herbs of the earth.

    ¹⁹In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return.

    ²⁰And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.

    ²¹And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife, garments of skins, and clothed them.

    ²²And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.

    ²³And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken.

    ²⁴And he cast out Adam; and placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

    ⁶And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias.

    ⁷And Solomon begot Roboam. And Roboam begot Abia. And Abia begot Asa.

    ¹⁶And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

    ¹⁷So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.

    ¹⁸Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.

    ¹⁹Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.

    ²⁰But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.

    ²¹And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.

    ²²Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:

    ²³Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

    ²⁴And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.

    ²⁵And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
