Book of Genesis: Chapter 1:26 thru 3:24
King James Version
| 1:26 |
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
|
| 1:27 |
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. |
| 1:28 |
And God blessed them, and God 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. |
| 1:29 |
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing 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. |
| 1:30 |
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 life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. |
| 1:31 |
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. |
Chapter 2
| 2:1 | Thus the heavens
and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. |
| 2:2 | And on the seventh day God ended
his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work
which he had made. |
| 2:3 |
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he
had rested from all his work which God created and made. |
| 2:4 | These are the generations of the
heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God
made the earth and the heavens, |
| 2:5 | And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and
every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to
rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. |
| 2:6 | But there went up a mist
from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. |
| 2:7 | And the LORD God formed man of the
dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul. |
| 2:8 |
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the
man whom he had formed. |
| 2:9
| And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of
the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. |
| 2:10 | And a river went out of Eden to
water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. |
| 2:11 | The name of the
first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where
there is gold; |
| 2:12 |
And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. |
| 2:13 | And the name of
the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of
Ethiopia. |
| 2:14 | And
the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east
of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. |
|
2:15 | And the LORD God took the man, and put him
into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. |
| 2:16 | And the LORD God commanded the
man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: |
| 2:17 | But of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou
eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. |
| 2:18 | And the LORD God said, It is not good that the
man should be alone; I will make him a help mate. |
| 2:19 | And out of the ground the LORD
God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought
them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every
living creature, that was the name thereof. |
| 2:20 | And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the
fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not
found an help meet for him. |
| 2:21 | And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and
he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead
thereof; |
| 2:22 | And
the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought
her unto the man. |
| 2:23 |
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. |
| 2:24 | Therefore shall a man leave his
father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one
flesh. |
| 2:25 | And
they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. |
Chapter 3 | | 3:1 | Now the serpent
was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he
said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
garden? | | 3:2 | And the
woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the
garden: | | 3:3 | But of
the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. |
| 3:4 | And the serpent said unto the
woman, Ye shall not surely die: | |
3:5 | For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. |
| 3:6 | And when the woman saw
that the tree was good for food, and that it was 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. |
| 3:7 | And the eyes of them both were
opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together,
and made themselves aprons. | | 3:8
| And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in
the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of
the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. | | 3:9 | And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto
him, Where art thou? | | 3:10 |
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because
I was naked; and I hid myself. | |
3:11 | And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou
eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? |
| 3:12 | And the man said,
The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did
eat. | | 3:13 | And the
LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman
said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. | | 3:14 | 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 dust shalt thou eat all the days
of thy life: | | 3:15 |
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her
seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. |
| 3:16 | 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 to thy husband, and he shall rule over
thee. | | 3:17 | And
unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and
hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat
of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all
the days of thy life; | | 3:18
| Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou
shalt eat the herb of the field; | |
3:19 | In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and
unto dust shalt thou return. | |
3:20 | And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the
mother of all living. | | 3:21
| Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of
skins, and clothed them. | | 3:22
| And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to
know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the
tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: | | 3:23 | Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the
garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. |
| 3:24 | So he drove out the man; and
he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword
which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. |
