And God made man in His own likeness. In the likeness of God He made him. He made both male and female.

On the seventh day God ended His work which He had done. And He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

Then God honored the seventh day and made it holy, because in it He rested from all His work which He had done.

Then the Lord God made man from the dust of the ground. And He breathed into his nose the breath of life. Man became a living being.

So the Lord God put the man to sleep as if he were dead. And while he was sleeping, He took one of the bones from his side and closed up the place with flesh.

For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother, and will be joined to his wife. And they will become one flesh.

The man and his wife were both without clothes and were not ashamed.

Then they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening. The man and his wife hid themselves from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

And I will make you and the woman hate each other, and your seed and her seed will hate each other. He will crush your head, and you will crush his heel."

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

And the Lord God made clothes of skins for Adam and his wife, and dressed them.

Then the Lord God said, "See, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and bad. Now then, he might put out his hand to take from the tree of life also, and eat and live forever."

The man lay with his wife Eve and she was going to have a child and she gave birth to Cain. She said, "I have given birth to a man with the help of the Lord."

Next she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was one who worked the ground.

But Abel brought a gift of the first-born of his flocks and of the fat parts. The Lord showed favor to Abel and his gift.

But He had no respect for Cain and his gift. So Cain became very angry and his face became sad.

Cain told this to his brother Abel. And when they were in the field, Cain stood up against his brother Abel and killed him.

Cain lay with his wife and she was going to have a child and she gave birth to Enoch. Cain built a city and gave it the name of Enoch, the name of his son.

His brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and the horn.

And Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, listen to my voice. Hear what I say, you wives of Lamech. For I have killed a man for hurting me, and a boy for hitting me.
