Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their array.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day Elohim completed His work which He had
done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had
made.
Gen 2:3 And Elohim blessed the seventh day and set it apart, because on it
He rested from all His work which Elohim in creating had made.
Gen 2:4 These are the births of the heavens and the earth when they were
created, in the day that יהוה Elohim made earth and heavens.
Gen 2:5 Now no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the
field had yet sprung up, for יהוה Elohim had not sent rain on the earth, and
there was no man to till the ground,
Gen 2:6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the entire surface of
the ground.
Gen 2:7 And יהוה Elohim formed the man out of dust from the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils breath of life. And the man became a living being.
Gen 2:8 And יהוה Elohim planted a garden in Ĕḏen, to the east, and there He
put the man whom He had formed.
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground יהוה Elohim made every tree grow that is
pleasant to the sight and good for food, with the tree of life in the midst of the
garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 2:10 And a river went out of Ĕḏen to water the garden, and from there it
divided and became four riverheads.
Gen 2:11 The name of the first is Pishon, it is the one surrounding the entire
land of Ḥawilah, where there is gold.
Gen 2:12 And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium is there, and the
shoham stone.
Gen 2:13 And the name of the second river is Giḥon, it is the one
surrounding the entire land of Kush.
Gen 2:14 And the name of the third river is Ḥiddeqel, it is the one which
goes toward the east of Ashshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Gen 2:15 And יהוה Elohim took the man and put him in the garden of Ĕḏen to
work it and to guard it.
Gen 2:16 And יהוה Elohim commanded the man, saying, “Eat of every tree of
the garden,
Gen 2:17 but do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in
the day that you eat of it you shall certainly die.”
Gen 2:18 And יהוה Elohim said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I am
going to make a helper for him, as his counterpart.”
Gen 2:19 And from the ground יהוה Elohim formed every beast of the field
and every bird of the heavens, and brought them to the man to see what he
would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was
its name.
Gen 2:20 So the man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the
heavens, and to every beast of the field. But for the man there was not found a
helper for him, as his counterpart.
Gen 2:21 So יהוה Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he
slept. And He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
Gen 2:22 And the rib which יהוה Elohim had taken from the man He made
into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
Gen 2:23 And the man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my
flesh. This one is called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of man.”
Gen 2:24 For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave
to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, yet they were not
ashamed.

Gen 3:1 And the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which
יהוה Elohim had made, and he said to the woman, “Is it true that Elohim has
said, ‘Do not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
Gen 3:2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We are to eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden,
Gen 3:3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim
has said, ‘Do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.’ ”
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You shall certainly not die.
Gen 3:5 “For Elohim knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes shall be
opened, and you shall be like Elohim, knowing good and evil.”
Gen 3:6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, and she took of
its fruit and ate. And she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
Gen 3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they
were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made loin coverings for
themselves.
Gen 3:8 And they heard the sound of יהוה Elohim walking about in the garden
in the cool of the day, and Aḏam and his wife hid themselves from the
presence of יהוה Elohim among the trees of the garden.
Gen 3:9 And יהוה Elohim called unto Aḏam and said to him, “Where are
you?”
Gen 3:10 And he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid
because I was naked, so I hid myself.”
Gen 3:11 And He said, “Who made you know that you were naked? Have
you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
Gen 3:12 And the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she
gave me of the tree and I ate.”
Gen 3:13 And יהוה Elohim said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
Gen 3:14 And יהוה Elohim said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
you are cursed more than all livestock and more than every beast of the field.
On your belly you are to go, and eat dust all the days of your life.
Gen 3:15 “And I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your
seed and her Seed. He shall crush your head, and you shall crush His heel.”
Gen 3:16 To the woman He said, “I greatly increase your sorrow and your
conception – bring forth children in pain. And your desire is for your
husband, and he does rule over you.”
Gen 3:17 And to the man He said, “Because you have listened to the voice
of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying,
‘Do not eat of it’: “Cursed is the ground because of you, in toil you are to eat
of it all the days of your life,
Gen 3:18 and the ground shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and
you shall eat the plants of the field.
Gen 3:19 “By the sweat of your face you are to eat bread until you return to
the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you
return.”
Gen 3:20 And the man called his wife’s name Ḥawwah, because she became
the mother of all living.
Gen 3:21 And יהוה Elohim made coats of skin for the man and his wife and
dressed them.
Gen 3:22 And יהוה Elohim said, “See, the man has become like one of Us, to
know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the
tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”
Gen 3:23 so יהוה Elohim sent him out of the garden of Ĕḏen to till the ground
from which he was taken,
Gen 3:24 and He drove the man out. And He placed keruḇim at the east of
the garden of Ĕḏen, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard
the way to the tree of life.

Gen 4:1 And Aḏam knew Ḥawwah his wife, and she conceived and bore
Qayin, and said, “I have gained a man from יהוה.”
Gen 4:2 And again, she gave birth to his brother Heḇel. And Heḇel became
a keeper of sheep, but Qayin became a tiller of the ground.
Gen 4:3 And it came to be, in the course of time, that Qayin brought an
offering of the fruit of the ground to יהוה.
Gen 4:4 And Heḇel also brought of the first-born of his flock and of their fat.
And יהוה looked to Heḇel and his offering,
Gen 4:5 but He did not look to Qayin and his offering. And Qayin was very
wroth, and his face fell.
Gen 4:6 And יהוה said to Qayin, “Why are you wroth? And why is your face
fallen?
Gen 4:7 “If you do well, is there not acceptance? And if you do not do well,
sin is crouching at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should master
it.”
Gen 4:8 And Qayin told Heḇel his brother. And it came to be when they
were in the field, that Qayin rose up against Heḇel his brother and killed him.
Gen 4:9 And יהוה said to Qayin, “Where is Heḇel your brother?” And he
said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s guard?”
Gen 4:10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s
blood cries out to Me from the ground.
Gen 4:11 “And now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its
mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
Gen 4:12 “If you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you.
You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
Gen 4:13 And Qayin said to יהוה, “My punishment is too great to bear!
Gen 4:14 “See, You have driven me from the face of the ground today, and I
am hidden from Your face. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth,
and it shall be that anyone who finds me kills me.”
Gen 4:15 And יהוה said to him, “Well, if anyone kills Qayin, vengeance is
taken on him sevenfold.” And יהוה set up a sign for Qayin, lest anyone finding
him kills him.
Gen 4:16 So Qayin went out from the presence of יהוה and dwelt in the land
of Noḏ on the east of Ĕḏen.
Gen 4:17 And Qayin knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Ḥanoḵ.
And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son,
Ḥanoḵ.
Gen 4:18 And to Ḥanoḵ was born Iraḏ. And Iraḏ brought forth Meḥuya’ĕl,
and Meḥuya’ĕl brought forth Methusa’ĕl, and Methusa’ĕl brought forth
Lemeḵ.
Gen 4:19 And Lemeḵ took for himself two wives, the name of one was
Aḏah, and the name of the second was Tsillah.
Gen 4:20 And Aḏah bore Yaḇal. He was the father of those who dwell in
tents, with livestock.
Gen 4:21 And his brother’s name was Yuḇal. He was the father of all those
who play the lyre and flute.
Gen 4:22 As for Tsillah, she also bore Tuḇal-Qayin, a smith of all kinds of
tools in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tuḇal-Qayin was Na‛amah.
Gen 4:23 And Lemeḵ said to his wives, “Aḏah and Tsillah, hear my voice!
Wives of Lemeḵ, listen to my words! For I have killed a man for wounding
me, even a young man for hurting me.
Gen 4:24 “For Qayin is avenged sevenfold, and Lemeḵ seventy-sevenfold.”
Gen 4:25 And Aḏam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his
name Shĕth, “For Elohim has appointed me another seed instead of Heḇel,
because Qayin had slain him.”
Gen 4:26 And to Shĕth, to him also a son was born. And he called his name
Enosh. Then it was begun to call on the Name of יהוה.
