C. 2448 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. 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; and called his name Seth. he had begotten Seth, were eight 4 And the days of Adam, after hundred years; and he begat sons and daughters. 23 And Lamech said unto his 5 And all the days that Adam wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my lived were nine hundred and thirty voice; ye wives of Lamech, heark-years: and he died. en unto my speech: for I have 6 And Seth lived an hundred slain a man to my wounding, and and five years, and begat Enos. a young man to my hurt. 7 And Seth lived, after he begat 24 If Cain shall be avenged Enos, eight hundred and seven sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy years, and begat sons and daughand 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. ters. 8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. 9¶ And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan. 10 And Enos lived, after he begat Cainan, eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died. *“...

GENESIS VI:1-22-B. C. 2448 1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, *"And Enoch walked with God; and he was not for God took him." How could Enoch walk with God without a law? †Noah came through Seth and through Enoch. 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. 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 filled with violence. before God, and the earth was 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 within and without with pitch. make in the ark, and shalt pitch it 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 cucubits. bits, and the height of it thirty 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 8 But Noah found grace in the heaven; and every thing that is in eyes of the LORD. 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. GENESIS VII:1-24-B. C. 2349 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.. 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. 3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to *"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." 13 In the selfsame 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 nostils 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. GENESIS VIII:1-22-B. C. 2349 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 assuaged: 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: |
