Genesis 2:4-3:24

Bishops(i) 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
