Chapter 4 The beginnings of Civilization: Cain and his
descendants
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 Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and
the sister of Tubalcain 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.
25 And Adam knew his
wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she,
hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 And to Seth, to him
also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call
upon the name of the LORD.
Chapter 5 Adam to Noah
1 This is the book of
the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of
God made he him;
2 Male and female
created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when
they were created.
3 And Adam lived an
hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image;

22 And Enoch walked
with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and
daughters:
23 And all the days of
Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 And Enoch walked
with God: and he was not; for God took him.

lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:
26 And Methuselah
lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons
and daughters:
27 And all the days of
Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
28 And Lamech lived an

29 And he called his
name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of
our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.
30 And Lamech lived
after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and
daughters:
31 And all the days of
Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
32 And Noah was five
hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Chapter 6 The history of Noah: the Causes of the flood
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.
Chapter 7 the course of the flood
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 same 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.
Chapter 8 the events after the flood
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 as swaged;
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 pluckt 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.
Chapter 9 God blessed Noah and made a covenant for all
generation
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.

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.
