So God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female.

By the seventh day God finished the work he had been doing, so he rested from all his work.

So a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one body.

The man and his wife were naked, but they were not ashamed.

Then they heard the Lord God walking in the garden during the cool part of the day, and the man and his wife hid from the Lord God among the trees in the garden.

I will make you and the woman enemies to each other. Your descendants and her descendants will be enemies. One of her descendants will crush your head, and you will bite his heel."

The man named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.

The Lord God made clothes from animal skins for the man and his wife and dressed them.

Adam had sexual relations with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. Eve said, "With the Lord 's help, I have given birth to a man."

Abel brought the best parts from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift,

but he did not accept Cain and his gift. So Cain became very angry and felt rejected.

Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out into the field." While they were out in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

He had sexual relations with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. At that time Cain was building a city, which he named after his son Enoch.

Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice! You wives of Lamech, listen to what I say. I killed a man for wounding me, a young man for hitting me.

Adam had sexual relations with his wife Eve again, and she gave birth to a son. She named him Seth and said, "God has given me another child. He will take the place of Abel, who was killed by Cain."

This is the family history of Adam. When God created human beings, he made them in his own likeness.

When Adam was 130 years old, he became the father of another son in his likeness and image, and Adam named him Seth.

Lamech named his son Noah and said, "He will comfort us in our work, which comes from the ground the Lord has cursed."

He was sorry he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.

This is the family history of Noah. Noah was a good man, the most innocent man of his time, and he walked with God.
