Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The heauens also & the earth were finisshed, & all the hoast of them ² And in the seuenth day God ended his worke whiche he had made. And the seueth day he rested from all his worke which he had made ³ And God blessed the seuenth daye, & sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his worke whiche God ordeyned to make ⁴ These are the generations of the heauens and of the earth when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made the earth and the heauens ⁵ And euery plant of the fielde before it was in the earth, and euery hearbe of the fielde before it grewe. For the Lord God had not [yet] caused it to rayne vppon the earth, neither [was there] a man to tyll the grounde ⁶ But there went vp a miste from the earth, & watered the whole face of the grounde ⁷ The Lorde God also dyd shape man, [euen] dust fro of the grounde, & breathed into his nosethrylles the breath of lyfe, and man was a lyuyng soule ⁸ And the Lord God planted a garden eastwarde in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had shapen ⁹ Moreouer, out of the grounde made the Lorde God to growe euery tree, that was fayre to syght, and pleasaunt to eate: The tree of lyfe in the myddest of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and euyll ¹⁰ And out of Eden there went foorth a flood to water the garden, and from thence it was deuided, and became into foure heades ¹¹ The name of ye first is Pison, the same is it that compasseth the whole lande of Hauilah, where there is golde ¹² And the golde of the lande is very good. There is also Bdellium, and the Onix stone ¹³ The name of the seconde riuer is Gyhon: the same is it that compasseth the whole lande of Ethiopia ¹⁴ The name of ye thirde ryuer is Hidekel, & it goeth toward the east side of Assiria: & the fourth ryuer is Euphrates ¹⁵ And the Lord God toke the man, and put hym in the garden of Eden, that he myght worke it, and kepe it ¹⁶ And the Lorde God commaunded the man, saying: eating, thou shalt eate of euery tree of the garden ¹⁷ But as touching the tree of knowlege of good and euyll thou shalt not eate of it: For in what daye so euer thou eatest therof, thou shalt dye the death ¹⁸ And the Lord God sayde: It is not good yt the man should be alone, I wyll make hym an helpe lyke vnto hym ¹⁹ And so out of the grounde the Lorde God had shapen euery beast of the field, and euery foule of the ayre, and brought it vnto man, that he myght see howe he woulde call it. For lykewyse as man hym selfe named euery lyuyng thyng, euen so was the name therof ²⁰ And the man gaue names to all cattell, and foule of the ayre, & euery beast of the fielde: but for man founde he not an helpe lyke vnto hym ²¹ The Lord God caused a deepe sleepe to fall vpon Adam, and he slept, and he toke one of his ribbes, and closed vp the place with fleshe in steade therof ²² And the ribbe which the lord god had taken from man, made he a woman, & brought her vnto the man ²³ And man saide: this is nowe bone of my bones, and fleshe of my fleshe, she shalbe called woman, because she was taken out of man ²⁴ For this cause shall man leaue his father and his mother, and shalbe ioyned with his wyfe: and they shall become one fleshe ²⁵ And they were both naked the man and his wife, and were not ashamed ³ ¹ And the serpent was suttiller then euery beast of the fielde which ye lord God hadde made, and he sayde vnto the woman: yea, hath God saide, ye shall not eate of euery tree of the garden ² And the woman sayde vnto the serpent: We eate of ye fruite of the trees of the garden ³ But as for the fruite of the tree which is in the myddes of the garden, God hath sayde, ye shall not eate of it, neither shal ye touche of it, lest peraduenture ye dye ⁴ And the serpent sayde vnto the woman: ye shall not dye the death ⁵ For God doth knowe, that the same day that ye eate therof, your eyes shall be opened, and ye shalbe eue as gods, knowyng good and euyll ⁶ And so the woman, seing that the same tree was good to eate of, and pleasaunt to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, toke of the fruite therof, and dyd eate, and gaue also vnto her husbande beyng with her, and he dyd eate ⁷ Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knewe that they were naked, and they sowed fygge leaues together, & made them selues apernes ⁸ And they heard the voyce of the Lord God, walkyng in the garden in ye coole of the day: and Adam and his wyfe hyd themselues from the presence of the lord God amongst ye trees of the garden ⁹ And the Lorde called Adam, & sayde vnto hym: where art thou ¹⁰ Which sayde: I hearde thy voyce in the garden, and was afrayde because I was naked, and hyd my selfe ¹¹ And he sayde: Who tolde thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou not eaten of the same tree, concernyng the which I commaunded thee that thou shouldest not eate of it ¹² And Adam said: The woman whom thou gauest [to be] with me, she gaue me of the tree, and I dyd eate ¹³ And the Lord God sayd vnto the woman: Why hast thou done this? And the woman sayde: the serpent begyled me, and I dyd eate ¹⁴ And the lord god said vnto ye serpent: Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed aboue all cattel, and aboue euery beast of the fielde: vpon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eate all the dayes of thy lyfe ¹⁵ I wyll also put enmitie betweene thee & the woman, betweene thy seede and her seede: and it shall treade downe thy head, and thou shalt treade vpon his heele ¹⁶ But vnto the woman he sayde: I wyll very much multiplie thy sorowe, and thy griefes of chylde bearyng, In sorowe shalt thou bring foorth children: thy desire [shalbe] to thy husbande, and he shall haue the rule of thee ¹⁷ Unto Adam he sayde: Because thou hast hearkened vnto the voyce of thy wyfe, and hast eaten of the tree concernyng the whiche I commaunded thee, saying, thou shalt not eate of it, cursed is the grounde for thy sake, in sorowe shalt thou eate of it all the dayes of thy lyfe ¹⁸ Thorne also and thistle shall it bryng foorth to thee, and thou shalt eate the hearbe of the fielde ¹⁹ In the sweatte of thy face shalt thou eate thy breade, tyll thou be turned agayne into the ground, for out of it wast thou taken: For dust thou art, and into dust shalt thou be turned agayne ²⁰ And Adam called his wyfes name Heua, because she was the mother of all lyuyng ²¹ Unto Adam also and to his wyfe dyd the Lorde God make garments of skynnes, and he put them on ²² And the Lorde God sayde: Beholde, the man is become as one of vs, in knowing good and euyll: And now lest peraduenture he put foorth his hande, and take also of the tree of lyfe and eate, and lyue for euer ²³ Therefore the Lorde God sent hym foorth fro the garden of Eden, to worke the grounde whence he was taken ²⁴ And so he droue out man, and at the east side of the garde of Eden he set Cherubins, and a fierie two edged sworde, to kepe the way of the tree of lyfe ⁴ ¹ And Adam knewe Heua his wyfe, who conceauing bare Cain, saying: I haue gotten a man of the Lorde ² And she proceading, brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keper of sheepe, but Cain was a tyller of the grounde ³ And in processe of dayes it came to passe, that Cain brought of the fruite of the grounde, an oblation vnto ye lorde ⁴ Habel also brought of the firstlynges of his sheepe, & of the fatte thereof: and the Lorde had respect vnto Habel, and to his oblation ⁵ But vnto Cain and to his offeryng he had no respect: for the whiche cause Cain was exceedyng wroth, and his countenaunce abated ⁶ And the Lorde saide vnto Cain: why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenaunce abated ⁷ If thou do well, shalt thou not receaue? and yf thou doest not well, lyeth not thy sinne at the doores? Also vnto thee shall his desire be, and thou shalt haue dominion ouer hym ⁸ And Cain talked with Habel his brother: and it came to passe when they were in the fielde, Cain rose vp agaynst Habel his brother, & slewe him ⁹ And the Lorde said vnto Cain: where is Habel thy brother? Which sayde I wote not: Am I my brothers keper ¹⁰ And he sayde: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me out of the grounde ¹¹ And nowe art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receaue thy brothers blood from thy hande ¹² If thou tyll the grounde, she shall not yeelde vnto thee her strength. A fugitiue and a vacabound shalt thou be in the earth ¹³ And Cain sayde vnto the Lord: My iniquitie is more then that it may be forgeuen ¹⁴ Beholde, thou hast cast me out this day from the vpper face of the earth, & from thy face shall I be hyd, fugitiue also and a vacabounde shall I be in the earth: and it shall come to passe, that euery one that fyndeth me shal slay me ¹⁵ And the Lorde said vnto him: Uerely whosoeuer slayeth Cain, he shalbe punished seuen folde. And the Lorde set a marke vpon Cain, lest any man fyndyng hym shoulde kyll hym ¹⁶ And Cain went out from the presence of the Lorde, & dwelt in the lande of Nod, eastwarde from Eden ¹⁷ Cain also knewe his wyfe, whiche conceaued and bare Henoch, and buyldyng a citie, he called the name of the same citie after the name of his sonne Henoch ¹⁸ Unto ye same Henoch was borne Irad: Irad begat Mehuiael, Mehuiael begat Methusael, Methusael begat Lamech ¹⁹ And Lamech toke vnto hym two wyues, the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other was Sella ²⁰ And Ada bare Iabel, which was the father of such as dwel in the tentes, and of such as haue cattell ²¹ His brothers name was Iubal, which was the father of such as handle Harpe and Organ ²² And Sella also bare Thubalcain, which wrought cunnyngly euery craft of brasse and of iron, the sister of Thubalcain was Noema ²³ And Lamech saide vnto his wiues Ada and Sella: Heare my voyce ye wyues of Lamech, hearken vnto my speache: for I haue slayne a man to the woundyng of my selfe, & a young man to myne owne punishment ²⁴ If Cain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech seuentie tymes & seuen tymes ²⁵ Adam knewe his wyfe agayne, and she bare a sonne, and called his name Seth: For God [sayde she] hath appoynted me another seede in steade of Habel whom Cain slewe ²⁶ And vnto the same Seth also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enos: then began men to make inuocation in the name of the Lorde ⁵ ¹ This is the booke of the generations of Ada.
