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 k dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy Efe: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between lthy seed and m her seed; nit 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 5 to thy husband, and he shall o rule over thee. 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, c Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, h 1Jno.3.20. eaten of the tree, of which I comlest ye die. 4 And the serpent d said unto the Pr.28. 13. k Is.65.25. e woman, Ye shall not surely die: Job 31.33. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was 2 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: f and they sewed figleaves together, and made themselves 3 aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the 4 cool of the day: and Adam and his wife ghid 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?

And Abel was 3 a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And 4 in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought a of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 4 And Abel, he also brought a of the firstlings of his 5 flock, and of the b fat thereof. And the LORD had c 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 counte-e nance fell. 6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why are thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not 6 be accepted? and if thou doest not well, d sin lieth at the door. And 7 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 e slew him. 9 And the LORD said unto Cain,f 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 8 blood g 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, 9 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, h 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 seven-fold.

CHAPTER VII. 1 Noah, with his family, enter into the ark. 17 The beginning, increase, and continuance of the flood. ND the LORD said unto Noah, 3 or, on the c ch.8.2. 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, 3 after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 11In the sixth hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains c of the great deep broken up, and the 4 windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 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, d 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 Mat. 24.38. kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every 5 sort. A Come thou and all thy house e Deut.33.27. increased, and bare up the ark, and 2 Of every bclean beast thou shalt take to thee by 1 sevens, the male f Job 12.15. and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3 Offowls 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 2 from off the face of the earth. 5 And Noah did according unto 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; fand all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains g 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 mau: h 22 All in whose nostrils was 6 the breath of life, of all that was in the 20.

Then he put forth his hand, and took her, and 4 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 i Lev.I.XI. God's promise to Noah. 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 h 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 5 kinds, went forth out of the ark. 20 T And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of i every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar, 21 And the LORD smelled a 6 sweet savour; k and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again I curse the Is.65.5. ground any more for man's sake; Eze.20.41. 7 for the m imagination of man's 2Cor.2.15. heart is evil from his youth; neither ch.3.17.6,17. will I again n smite any more every though.thing living, as I have done. or, m ch.6.5.
