Genesis 4:1-11:32

CLV(i) 1 And the human knows Eve, his wife, and pregnant is she and is bearing Cain. And saying is she, "I acquire a man, Yahweh!" 2 And proceeding is she to bear his brother Abel. And coming is Abel to be the grazier of a flock, yet Cain becomes a server of the ground. 3 And coming is it, at the end of days, that bringing is Cain, from the fruit of the ground, a present offering to Yahweh. 4 Abel also is bringing, he, moreover, from the firstlings of his flock, and from their fat. And heed is Yahweh giving to Abel and to his present offering, 5 yet to Cain and to his present offering He does not give heed. And hot is Cain's anger exceedingly, and falling is his face. 6 And saying is Yahweh Elohim to Cain, "Why is your anger hot? And why does your face fall? 7 Would you not, should you be doing well, lift it up? And should you not be doing well, at the opening a sin offering is reclining, and for you is its restoration. And you are ruler over it. 8 And saying is Cain to Abel, his brother, "Go will we to the field. And coming is it, at their coming to be in the field, rising is Cain against Abel, his brother, and killing him. 9 And saying is Yahweh Elohim to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother? "And saying is he, "I do not know. The keeper of my brother am I? 10 And saying is the Elohim, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground. 11 And now, cursed are you by the ground, which opens its mouth wide to take your brother's blood from your hand. 12 As you are serving the ground, it will not continue to give its vigor to you. A rover and a wanderer shall you become in the earth. 13 And saying is Cain to Yahweh Elohim, "Too great is my depravity to bear. 14 Behold, drive me do You out today off the surface of the ground, and from Your face shall I be concealed, and become shall I a rover and a wanderer in the earth. And it comes that anyone finding me will kill me. 15 And saying to him is Yahweh Elohim, "Not so. Anyone killing Cain, sevenfold shall it be avenged. "And placing is Yahweh Elohim a sign for Cain, to avoid anyone finding him smiting him. 16 And forth is Cain faring from before Yahweh Elohim, and is dwelling in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 17 And knowing is Cain his wife and she is pregnant and bearing Enoch. And coming is it that he is building a city, and calling is he the name of the city as the name of his son, Enoch. 18 And born to Enoch is Irad, and Irad generates Mehujael, and Mehujael generates Methusael, and Methusael generates Lamech. 19 And Lamech is taking for himself two wives, the one named Adah, and the second named Zillah. 20 And Adah is baring Jabal. He becomes the forefather of the tent dweller and the cattleman. 21 And the name of his brother is Jubal. He becomes the forefather of all who handle the harp and the shepherd's pipe. 22 And Zillah, moreover, she bears Tubalcain, a forger of every tool of copper and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain is Naamah. 23 And saying is Lamech to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hearken to my voice! Wives of Lamech, give ear to my saying! For a man killed I for my injury, and a boy for my welt. 24 As sevenfold is the avenging of Cain, then seventy and seven is Lamech's. 25 And knowing is Adam Eve, his wife, again. And pregnant is she and bearing a son. And calling is she his name Seth, saying, "For set for me has the Elohim another seed instead of Abel, for Cain kills him. 26 And to Seth, moreover, to him is born a son. And calling is he his name Enosh. Then this one is wounded. Yet he calls on the name of Yahweh Elohim. 5 1 This is the scroll of the genealogical annals of Adam: In the day the Elohim created Adam, in the likeness of the Elohim He made him. 2 Male and female created He them; and blessing them is He, and calling their name Adam in the day they are created. 3 And living is Adam two hundred and thirty years. And begetting is he one in his likeness, according to his image. And calling is he his name Seth. 4 And coming are the days of Adam, after his begetting Seth, to be seven hundred years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. 5 And coming are all the days of Adam, which he lives, to be nine hundred and thirty years. And he died. 6 And living is Seth two hundred and five years. And begetting is he Enosh. 7 And living is Seth, after his begetting Enosh, seven hundred and seven years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. 8 And coming are all the days of Seth to be nine hundred and twelve years. And he died. 9 And living is Enosh a hundred and ninety years. And begetting is he Cainan. 10 And living is Enosh, after his begetting Cainan, seven hundred and fifteen years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. 11 And coming are all the days of Enosh to be nine hundred and five years. And he died. 12 And living is Cainan a hundred and seventy years. And begetting is he Malaleel. 13 And living is Cainan, after his begetting Malaleel, seven hundred and forty years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. 14 And coming are all the days of Cainan to be nine hundred and ten years. And he died. 15 And living is Malaleel a hundred and sixty five years. And begetting is he Jared. 16 And living is Malaleel, after his begetting Jared, seven hundred and thirty years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. 17 And coming are all the days of Malaleel to be eight hundred and ninety-five years. And he died. 18 And living is Jared a hundred and sixty-two years. And begetting is he Enoch. 19 And living is Jared, after his begetting Enoch, eight hundred years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. 20 And coming are all the days of Jared to be nine hundred and sixty-two years. And he died. 21 And living is Enoch a hundred and sixty-five years. And begetting is he Methuselah. 22 And walking is Enoch with the Elohim, after his begetting Methuselah, two hundred years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. 23 And coming are all the days of Enoch to be three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 And walking is Enoch with the Elohim. And not found is he, for taken was he by the Elohim. 25 And living is Methuselah a hundred and eighty-seven years. And begetting is he Lamech. 26 And living is Methuselah, after his begetting Lamech, seven hundred and eighty-two years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. 27 And coming are all the days of Methuselah, which he lived, to be nine hundred and sixty-nine years. And he died. 28 And living is Lamech a hundred and eighty-eight years. And begetting is he a son. 29 And calling is he his name Noah, saying, "This one will console us because of our doings, and because of the grief of our hands, because of the ground which Yahweh Elohim makes a curse. 30 And living is Lamech, after his begetting Noah, five hundred and sixty-five years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. 31 And coming are all the days of Lamech to be seven hundred and fifty-three years. And he died. 32 And coming is Noah to be five hundred years of age. And begetting is Noah three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6 1 And coming is it that humanity starts to be multitudinous on the surface of the ground, and daughters are born to them. 2 And seeing are sons of the elohim the daughters of the human, that they are good, and taking are they for themselves wives of all whom they choose. 3 And saying is Yahweh Elohim, "Not abide shall My spirit in the human for the eon, in that moreover, he is flesh. And come shall his days to be a hundred and twenty years. 4 Now the distinguished come to be in the earth in those days, and, moreover, afterward, coming are those who are sons of the elohim to the daughters of the human, and they bear for them. They are the masters, who are from the eon, mortals with the name. 5 And seeing is Yahweh Elohim that much is the evil of humanity in the earth, and every form of the devices of its heart is but evil all its days. 6 And regretting is Yahweh Elohim that He made humanity on the earth, and grieving to His heart. 7 And saying is Yahweh Elohim, "Wipe will I the humanity, which I have created, off the surface of the ground, from human unto beast, and unto the moving animal, and unto the flyer of the heavens, for I regret that I have made them. 8 Yet Noah finds grace in the eyes of Yahweh Elohim. 9 These are the genealogical annals of Noah: Noah is a just man. Flawless became he in his generations. With the Elohim walks Noah. 10 And begetting is Noah three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 And being ruined is the earth before the Elohim, and being filled is the earth with wrong. 12 And seeing is Yahweh Elohim the earth, and behold! Ruined is it, for ruining is all flesh its way on the earth. 13 And saying is the Elohim to Noah, "The era of the end of all human flesh is come before Me, for full is the earth with wrong because of their presence. Now behold Me ruining them with the earth. 14 Make for yourself an ark of sulphur wood. With nests shall you make the ark. And shelter it from the inside and from the outside with a sheltering coat. 15 And this is how you shall make the ark: Three hundred cubits is the length of the ark, and fifty cubits its width, and thirty cubits its rise. 16 Narrowing you shall make it from the middle, and to a cubit shall you finish it from above. And the opening of the ark you shall place in its side. With nether, second and third decks shall you make it. 17 And I, behold Me bringing a deluge of water over the earth to wreck all flesh, which has in it the spirit of the living, from under the heavens. All that is in the earth shall expire. 18 And I set up My covenant with you. And come do you to the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you. 19 And of every beast and of every moving animal and of every living animal of all flesh, a pair from all, are you to bring into the ark, to preserve alive with you. 20 Male and female shall they be. Of every bird of the flyer for its from-kind, and of every beast for its from-kind, and of every moving animal moving on the ground for its from-kind. Pairs of all shall come to you, to preserve alive, male and female. 21 And you, take for yourselves of all food which is being eaten, and gather it to you, and it comes to be for food for you and for them. 22 And doing is Noah according to all which Yahweh Elohim instructs him. So does he. 7 1 And saying is Yahweh Elohim to Noah, "Come, you and all your household, into the ark, for you I see righteous before Me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast you are to take to you seven by seven, the sire and his dam, and of the beast which is not clean, of it a pair, the sire and his dam. 3 And, moreover, of the clean flyer of the heavens seven by seven, male and female, and of the flyer which is not clean, of it a pair, male and female, to keep alive seed on the surface of the entire earth. 4 For, seven days further, I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe every risen thing which I have made off the surface of the entire ground. 5 And doing is Noah according to all which Yahweh Elohim instructs him. 6 And Noah is six hundred years of age. And the deluge of water comes to be on the earth. 7 And coming is Noah, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark in view of the water of the deluge. 8 Of the clean beast, and of the beast which is not clean, and of the flyer, and of every animal which is moving on the ground, 9 pair by pair they come to Noah into the ark, male and female, as the Elohim instructs Noah. 10 And coming is it, after seven days, that the waters of the deluge come to be on the earth, 11 in the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month. On this day rent are all the springs of the vast submerged chaos, and the crevices of the heavens are opened, 12 and coming is the downpour on the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 On this very day come Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah's sons, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons, with them, into the ark, 14 they, and every living animal for its from-kind, and every beast for its from-kind, and every moving animal moving on the earth for its from-kind, and every flyer for its from-kind, every bird of every wing. 15 And coming are they to Noah into the ark, pair by pair, of all flesh, which has in it the spirit of the living. 16 And those coming, male and female of all flesh, come as the Elohim instructs him. And closing the ark is Yahweh Elohim about him. 17 And coming is the deluge forty days and forty nights on the earth. And increasing are the waters, and lifting up the ark, and it is high above the earth. 18 And having the mastery are the waters and they are increasing exceedingly on the earth, and going is the ark on the surface of the water. 19 And the water has the mastery exceeding exceedingly on the earth. And covered are all the lofty mountains which are under the entire heavens. 20 Fifteen cubits above has the water the mastery, and covered are all the mountains. 21 And expiring is all flesh moving on the earth, of flyer, and of beast, and of living animal, and of every roaming animal roaming on the earth, and every human. 22 Everyone which has the breath of the spirit of the living in his nostrils, of all that were in the drained area, dies. 23 And wiped off is every risen thing which was on the surface of all the ground, from human to beast, from moving animal to the flyer of the heavens. And being wiped are they from the earth. Yea, only Noah is remaining, and what is with him in the ark. 24 And lofty are the waters on the earth a hundred and fifty days. 8 1 Now mindful is the Elohim of Noah and every living animal and every beast and every flyer and every moving animal which is with him in the ark. And the Elohim is causing a wind to pass over the earth, and subsiding are the waters. 2 And being held in check are the springs of the submerged chaos and the crevices of the heavens, and being shut up is the downpour from the heavens, 3 and returning are the waters off the earth, going and returning. And abating are the waters at the end of one hundred and fifty days. 4 And resting is the ark in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat. 5 And the waters came to go and abate until the tenth month. In the eleventh month, on day one of the month, appear the heads of the mountains. 6 And it is coming, at the end of forty days, that opening is Noah a porthole of the ark which he had made, 7 and sending out is he a raven to see if the waters are slight. And forth is it faring, to fare forth and not to return till the drying of the water off the land. 8 And sending out is he a dove from him after it, to see if the waters are slight over the surface of the ground. 9 Yet not find does the dove a resting place for the sole of her foot, and she is returning to him to the ark, for the water is on the surface of the entire earth. And stretching forth is he his hand and taking her, and is bringing her to him into the ark. 10 And waiting is he further another seven days. And proceeding is he to send out the dove from the ark. 11 And coming is the dove to him at eventide, and behold! A torn-off olive leaf is in its beak! And knowing is Noah that the waters are slight above the earth. 12 And waiting is he further another seven days, and once more is sending out the dove, yet not any more to return to him further. 13 And coming is it, in the year six hundred and one of Noah's life, in the first month, on day one of the month, drained are the waters off the earth. And away is Noah taking the covering of the ark, which he had made, and seeing is he, and behold! Drained are the waters from the surface of the ground. 14 And in the second month on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth is dry. 15 And speaking is Yahweh Elohim to Noah, saying, 16 Fare forth from the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you. 17 And every living thing which is with you of all flesh, of flyer, and of beast, and of every moving animal moving on the earth, bring forth with you. They also are to roam in the earth, and to be fruitful, and increase on the earth. 18 And forth is faring Noah, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him. 19 And every living thing and every beast, and every flyer, and every moving animal moving on the earth, by their families they fare forth from the ark. 20 And building is Noah an altar to Yahweh Elohim, and taking is he of every clean beast, and of every clean flyer, and is offering up ascent offerings on the altar. 21 And smelling is Yahweh Elohim a restful smell. And saying is Yahweh Elohim to His heart, "Not any more will I slight further the ground for the sake of humanity, for the form of the human heart is evil from its youth. Neither again will I smite further all living flesh, as I have done. 22 In the future, all the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and warmth, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. 9 1 And blessing is the Elohim Noah and his sons. And saying is He to them, "Be fruitful and increase and fill the earth and subdue it. 2 And the fear of you and dismay due to you shall come on every living animal of the earth, even on every flyer of the heavens, and in all which is moving on the ground, and in all the fishes of the sea. 3 Into your hand are they given. "And every moving animal which is living is coming to be food for you. As the green herbage I give to you all. 4 Yea, only flesh with its soul, its blood, you shall not eat. 5 Yea, and your blood for your souls I will require. From the hand of every living animal will I require it, and from the hand of humanity. From the hand of a man's brother I will require the soul of a human. 6 The shedder of the blood of a human, by a human his blood shall be shed, for in the image of the Elohim has He made humanity. 7 And you, be fruitful, and increase, and roam in the earth and sway in it. 8 And speaking is the Elohim to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9 And I, behold Me setting up My covenant with you and with your seed after yo. 10 and with every living soul which is with you, with flyer and with beast and with all land life with you, with all faring forth from the ark, for all the land life. 11 And I set up My covenant with you, that not cut off shall all flesh be in the future by the waters of a deluge, neither will there come a future deluge of water to wreck the entire earth. 12 And saying is Yahweh Elohim to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you and every living soul which is with you for generations eonian. 13 My bow I bestow in a cloud, and it comes to be for a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 And it comes, when I cloud over the earth with a cloud, then appears My bow in the cloud, 15 and I am reminded of My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living soul in all flesh, and there is not to come a future deluge of water to wreck all flesh. 16 And my bow comes in the cloud, and I see it, to be reminded of the covenant eonian between the Elohim and every living soul in all flesh which is on the earth. 17 And saying is the Elohim to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I set up between Me and all flesh which is on the earth. 18 And the sons of Noah who fare forth from the ark are Shem and Ham and Japheth. (And Ham, he is the father of Canaan). 19 These three are sons of Noah, and from these the entire earth is scattered over. 20 And starting is Noah as a man who serves the ground, and planting is he a vineyard. 21 And drinking is he of the wine and is drunk, and is exposing himself in the midst of his tent. 22 And seeing is Ham (father of Canaan) the nakedness of his father, and faring forth, he is telling his two brothers outside. 23 And taking are Shem and Japheth a garment, and are placing it on the shoulders of the two, and they are going backward, and covering the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backward, and the nakedness of their father they did not see. 24 And waking is Noah from his wine, and he knows what his small son has done to him. 25 And saying is he, "Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he become for his brothers. 26 And saying is he, "Blessed be Yahweh, the Elohim of Shem, and Canaan shall become his servant. 27 Entice will the Elohim Japheth, and tabernacle shall he in the tents of Shem. And become shall Canaan his servant. 28 And living is Noah after the deluge three hundred and fifty years. 29 And coming are all the days of Noah to be nine hundred and fifty years. And he died. 10 1 And these are the genealogical annals of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons are being born to them after the deluge. 2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Media and Javan and Elisha, and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphas and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tharshish, Kittim and Rodanim. 5 From these are parted the coastlanders of the nations among their lands, each man to his tongue, to their families, in their nations. 6 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush: Sebah and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtechah. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8 And Cush generates Nimrod. He starts to become a master in the earth. 9 He becomes a master hunter before Yahweh Elohim. Therefore is it being said, "As Nimrod, the master hunter before Yahweh. 10 And coming is the beginning of his kingdom to be Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 (From that land fares forth Ashur, and building is he Nineveh and Rehoboth city, and Calah, 12 and Desen between Nineveh and Calah. That city is great.) 13 And Mizraim generates Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim 14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim, whence fare forth the Philistim and Caphthorim. 15 And Canaan generates Sidon, his firstborn, and Het. 16 and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite 17 and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite 18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanite are scattered. 19 And coming is the boundary of the Canaanite to be from Sidon, as you come toward Gerar unto Gaza, as you come toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zebolim, unto Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. 21 And to Shem sons are born. Moreover, he is the forefather of all the sons of Eber. He is a brother of Japheth, the eldest. 22 The sons of Shem: Elam and Ashur, and Arphaxad and Lud and Aram and Cainan. 23 And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. 24 And Arphaxad generates Cainan and Cainan generates Shelach, and Shelach generates Eber. 25 And to Eber two sons are born. The name of one is Peleg, for in his days the land was distributed. And the name of his brother is Joktan. 26 And Joktan generates Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah, 27 and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah, 28 and Obal and Abimael and Sheba, 29 and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab. All these are sons of Joktan. 30 And coming is their dwelling to be from Mesha, till you come toward Sephar, a mountain of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations. 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their genealogical annals, in their nations. And from these the coastland nations are parted in the earth after the deluge. 11 1 Now coming is the entire earth to be of one lip, all of one speech. 2 And coming is it in their journey from the east, that they are finding a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwelling there are they. 3 And saying are they, each man to his associate, "Prithee! Let us mold bricks and burn them with a burning.And coming is the brick to be their stone, and asphalt becomes their mortar. 4 And saying are they, "Prithee! Build will we for ourselves a city and a tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we are scattering over the surface of the entire earth. 5 And descending is Yahweh to see the city and the tower which the sons of humanity build. 6 And saying is Yahweh, "Behold! One people is it. And one lip is for them all. And this they started to do! And now nothing will be defended from them of all that they will plan to do. 7 Prithee! Descend will We, and there disintegrate their lip, that they may not hear each man the lip of his associate. 8 And scattering them is Yahweh thence on the surface of the entire earth. And leaving off are they building the city and the tower. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, for there Yahweh disintegrates the lip of the entire earth. And thence Yahweh Elohim scatters them over the surface of the entire earth. 10 And these are the genealogical annals of Shem: Shem is a hundred years of age, and begetting is he Arphaxad two years after the deluge. 11 And living is Shem after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 12 And Arphaxad lives a hundred and thirty-five years, and he is begetting Cainan. 13 And living is Arphaxad after his begetting Cainan four hundred and three years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. And living is Cainan a hundred and thirty years, and begetting is he Shelach. And living is Cainan after his begetting Shelach three hundred and thirty years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 14 And living is Shelach a hundred and thirty years and begetting is he Eber. 15 And living is Shelach after his begetting Eber three hundred and thirty years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 16 And living is Eber a hundred and thirty-four years and begetting is he Peleg. 17 And living is Eber after his begetting Peleg two hundred and seventy years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 18 And living is Peleg a hundred and thirty years and begetting is he Reu. 19 And living is Peleg after his begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 20 And living is Reu a hundred and thirty-two years, and begetting is he Serug. 21 And living is Reu after his begetting Serug two hundred and seven years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 22 And living is Serug a hundred and thirty years, and begetting is he Nahor. 23 And living is Serug after his begetting Nahor two hundred years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 24 And living is Nahor seventy-nine years, and begetting is he Terah. 25 And living is Nahor after his begetting Terah a hundred and twenty-nine years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 26 And living is Terah seventy years, and begetting is he Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 27 And these are the genealogical annals of Terah: Terah begets Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begets Lot. 28 And Haran died in the presence of Terah, his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans. 29 And taking are Abram and Nahor to themselves wives. The name of Abram's wife is Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife is Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. 30 Yet coming is Sarai to be barren. No child is hers. 31 And taking is Terah Abram, his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram, his son, and faring forth is he with them from Ur of the Chaldeans, to go to the land of Canaan. And coming are they as far as Charan, and dwelling there are they. 32 And coming are all the days of Terah to be two hundred and five years. And dying is Terah in Charan.
