And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

And on the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created in making it.

Then Yahweh God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and so the man became a living being.

So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.

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

And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

Then they heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God in the midst of the trees of the garden.

Now the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.

Then Yahweh God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.

Then Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us to know good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever"—

Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a man with the help of Yahweh."

And again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a cultivator of the ground.

Abel, on his part, also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And Yahweh had regard for Abel and for his offering;

but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.

Then Cain spoke to Abel his brother; and it happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

Then Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.

And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

And Lamech said to his wives,"Adah and Zillah,Hear my voice,You wives of Lamech,Give ear to my word,For I have killed a man for striking me;And a boy for wounding me;

Then Adam knew his wife again; and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, for she said, "God has set for me another seed in place of Abel, for Cain killed him."
