Genesis 1:1 1 Genesis 1:30
The First Book of Moses, called Genesis
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

Genesis 1:31 2 Genesis 3:5
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.
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.
3
1 Now the serpent was more subtil 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.

1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from
the LORD. 2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller
of the ground.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering
unto the LORD. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And
the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not
respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 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. 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it
came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my
brother’s keeper? 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto
me from the ground. 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to
receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; 12 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.
13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14 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. 15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken
on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of
Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called
the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. 18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad
begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other
Zillah. 20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. 22 And
Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of
Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken
unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. 24 If Cain shall
be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
