And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.

And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.

And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.

And Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.

And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

And they heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden.

And Man called his wife's name Eve; because she is the mother of all living.

And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.

And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever …!

And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.

And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.

And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;

and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

And Cain spoke to Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
