fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over [every beast of] the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 And Elôhîm created man in his own image, in the image of Elôhîm created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And Elôhîm blessed them; and Elôhîm 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 Elôhîm said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding 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 the breath of life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And Elôhîm saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. II. 1 And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day Elôhîm finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And Elôhîm blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which Elôhîm had created and made. II. THE GENEALOGIES OF ÂDÂM. V. 1 This is the book of the genealogies of Âdâm. In the day that Elôhîm created man, in the likeness of Elôhîm made he him; 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adâm, in the day when they were created. 3 And Âdâm lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image and called his name Shêth: 4 And the days of Adâm after he begat Shêth were eight hundred years and he begat sons and daughters: 5 And all the days that Âdâm lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. 6 And Shêth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enôsh: 7 And Shêth lived after he begat Enôsh eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: 8 And all the days of Shêth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. 9 And Enôsh lived ninety years, and begat Qênân: 10 And Enôsh lived after he begat Qênân eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: 11 And all the days of Enôsh were nine hundred and five years: and he died. 12 And Qênân lived seventy years, and begat Mahalalêl: 13 And Qênân lived after he begat Mahalalêl eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: 14 And all the days of Qênân were nine hundred and ten years and he died. 15 And Mahalalêl lived sixty and five years, and begat Yâred: 16 And Mahalalêl lived after he begat Yâred eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daugh ters: 17 And all the days of Mahalalêl were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 18 And Yâred lived an hundred sixty and two years, and begat 'Hanôch : 19 And Yâred lived after he begat 'Hanôch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 20 And all the days of Yâred were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. 21 And 'Hanôch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methûshâla'h : 22 And 'Hanôch walked with God after he begat Methûshâla'h three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 And all the days of 'Hanôch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24 And 'Hanôch walked with God: and he was not; for Elôhim took him. 25 And Methûshâla'h lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lâmech : 26 And Methûshâla'h lived after he begat Lâmech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: 27 And all the days of Methûshâla'h were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. 28 And Lâmech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and he begat [Nôa'h]: 30 And Lâmech lived after he begat Nôa'h five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: 31 And all the days of Lâmech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. 32 And Nôa'h was five hundred years old and Nôa’h begat Shêm, ’Hâm, and Yapheth. III. THE GENEALOGIES OF NOA'H. VI. 9 These are the genealogies of Nôa'h. Nôa'h was a righteous man and upright in his generations: Nôa'h walked with God. 10 And Nôa'h begat three sons, Shêm, 'Ham, and Yâpheth. 11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And Elôhîm saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And Elôhîm said unto Nôa'h, 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 cypress wood; cells shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 15 And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16 A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; 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 I, behold, I do bring the deluge of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; every thing that is in the earth shall die. 18 But I will establish my covenant with thee; 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 the fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its 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 gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 22 Thus did Nôa'h; according to all that Elôhîm commanded him, so did he. VII. 6 And Nôa'h was six hundred years old when the deluge of waters was upon the earth. |
