The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
-
The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
-
The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
-
Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
-
So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
-
Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
-
The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.
-
Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
-
But the Lord said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.
-
To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
-
Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me; wives of Lamech, hear my words. I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for injuring me.
-
Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
-
Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord.
-
When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.
-
When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah.
-
After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.
-
Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
-
When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.
-
After he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters.
-
Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.
-
He named him Noah and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.”
-
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
-
Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
-
And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.
-
The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in.
