CHAPTER~1

1 And God said, Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness, and God created man in his
own image.

2 And God formed man from the ground, and
he blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and
man became a living soul endowed with
speech.

3 And the Lord said, It is not good for man to
be alone; I will make unto him a helpmeet.

4 And the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall upon
Adam, and he slept, and he took away one of
his ribs, and he built flesh upon it, and formed
it and brought it to Adam, and Adam awoke
from his sleep, and behold a woman was
standing before him.

5 And he said, This is a bone of my bones and it
shall be called woman, for this has been taken
from man; and Adam called her name Eve, for
she was the mother of all living.

6 And God blessed them and called their
names Adam and Eve in the day that he created
them, and the Lord God said, Be fruitful and
multiply and fill the earth.

7 And the Lord God took Adam and his wife,
and he placed them in the garden of Eden to
dress it and to keep it; and he commanded
them and said unto them, From every tree of
the garden you may eat, but from the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil you shall not
eat, for in the day that you eat thereof you
shall surely die.

8 And when God had blessed and commanded
them, he went from them, and Adam and his
wife dwelt in the garden according to the
command which the Lord had commanded
them.

9 And the serpent, which God had created with
them in the earth, came to them to incite them
to transgress the command of God which he
had commanded them.

10 And the serpent enticed and persuaded the
woman to eat from the tree of knowledge, and
the woman hearkened to the voice of the
serpent, and she transgressed the word of God,
and took from the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, and she ate, and she took from it
and gave also to her husband and he ate.

11 And Adam and his wife transgressed the
command of God which he commanded them,
and God knew it, and his anger was kindled
against them and he cursed them.

12 And the Lord God drove them that day from
the garden of Eden, to till the ground from
which they were taken, and they went and
dwelt at the east of the garden of Eden; and
Adam knew his wife Eve and she bore two sons
and three daughters.

13 And she called the name of the first born
Cain, saying, I have obtained a man from the
Lord, and the name of the other she called
Abel, for she said, In vanity we came into the
earth, and in vanity we shall be taken from it.

14 And the boys grew up and their father gave
them a possession in the land; and Cain was a
tiller of the ground, and Abel a keeper of
sheep.

15 And it was at the expiration of a few years,
that they brought an approximating offering to
the Lord, and Cain brought from the fruit of
the ground, and Abel brought from the
firstlings of his flock from the fat thereof, and
God turned and inclined to Abel and his
offering, and a fire came down from the Lord
from heaven and consumed it.

16 And unto Cain and his offering the Lord did
not turn, and he did not incline to it, for he had
brought from the inferior fruit of the ground
before the Lord, and Cain was jealous against
his brother Abel on account of this, and he
sought a pretext to slay him.

17 And in some time after, Cain and Abel his
brother, went one day into the field to do their
work; and they were both in the field, Cain
tilling and ploughing his ground, and Abel
feeding his flock; and the flock passed that part
which Cain had ploughed in the ground, and it
sorely grieved Cain on this account.

18 And Cain approached his brother Abel in
anger, and he said unto him, What is there
between me and thee, that thou comest to
dwell and bring thy flock to feed in my land?

19 And Abel answered his brother Cain and
said unto him, What is there between me and
thee, that thou shalt eat the flesh of my flock
and clothe thyself with their wool?

20 And now therefore, put off the wool of my
sheep with which thou hast clothed thyself, and
recompense me for their fruit and flesh which
thou hast eaten, and when thou shalt have
done this, I will then go from thy land as thou
hast said?

21 And Cain said to his brother Abel, Surely if I
slay thee this day, who will require thy blood
from me?

22 And Abel answered Cain, saying, Surely God
who has made us in the earth, he will avenge
my cause, and he will require my blood from
thee shouldst thou slay me, for the Lord is the
judge and arbiter, and it is he who will requite
man according to his evil, and the wicked man
according to the wickedness that he may do
upon earth.

23 And now, if thou shouldst slay me here,
surely God knoweth thy secret views, and will
judge thee for the evil which thou didst declare
to do unto me this day.

24 And when Cain heard the words which Abel
his brother had spoken, behold the anger of
Cain was kindled against his brother Abel for
declaring this thing.

25 And Cain hastened and rose up, and took
the iron part of his ploughing instrument, with
which he suddenly smote his brother and he
slew him, and Cain spilt the blood of his
brother Abel upon the earth, and the blood of
Abel streamed upon the earth before the flock.

26 And after this Cain repented having slain his
brother, and he was sadly grieved, and he wept
over him and it vexed him exceedingly.

27 And Cain rose up and dug a hole in the field,
wherein he put his brother's body, and he
turned the dust over it.

28 And the Lord knew what Cain had done to
his brother, and the Lord appeared to Cain and
said unto him, Where is Abel thy brother that
was with thee?

29 And Cain dissembled, and said, I do not
know, am I my brother's keeper? And the Lord
said unto him, What hast thou done? The voice
of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the
ground where thou hast slain him.

30 For thou hast slain thy brother and hast
dissembled before me, and didst imagine in
thy heart that I saw thee not, nor knew all thy
actions.

31 But thou didst this thing and didst slay thy
brother for naught and because he spoke
rightly to thee, and now, therefore, cursed be
thou from the ground which opened its mouth
to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand,
and wherein thou didst bury him.

32 And it shall be when thou shalt till it, it shall
no more give thee its strength as in the
beginning, for thorns and thistles shall the
ground produce, and thou shalt be moving and
wandering in the earth until the day of thy
death.

33 And at that time Cain went out from the
presence of the Lord, from the place where he
was, and he went moving and wandering in the
land toward the east of Eden, he and all
belonging to him.

34 And Cain knew his wife in those days, and
she conceived and bare a son, and he called his
name Enoch, saying, In that time the Lord
began to give him rest and quiet in the earth.

35 And at that time Cain also began to build a
city: and he built the city and he called the
name of the city Enoch, according to the name
of his son; for in those days the Lord had given
him rest upon the earth, and he did not move
about and wander as in the beginning.

36 And Irad was born to Enoch, and Irad begat
Mechuyael and Mechuyael begat Methusael.

CHAPTER~2

1 And it was in the hundred and thirtieth year
of the life of Adam upon the earth, that he
again knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and
bare a son in his likeness and in his image, and
she called his name Seth, saying, Because God
has appointed me another seed in the place of
Abel, for Cain has slain him.

2 And Seth lived one hundred and five years,
and he begat a son; and Seth called the name
of his son Enosh, saying, Because in that time
the sons of men began to multiply, and to
afflict their souls and hearts by transgressing
and rebelling against God.

3 And it was in the days of Enosh that the sons
of men continued to rebel and transgress
against God, to increase the anger of the Lord
against the sons of men.

4 And the sons of men went and they served
other gods, and they forgot the Lord who had
created them in the earth: and in those days
the sons of men made images of brass and
iron, wood and stone, and they bowed down
and served them.

5 And every man made his god and they bowed
down to them, and the sons of men forsook the
Lord all the days of Enosh and his children; and
the anger of the Lord was kindled on account of
their works and abominations which they did in
the earth.

6 And the Lord caused the waters of the river
Gihon to overwhelm them, and he destroyed
and consumed them, and he destroyed the
third part of the earth, and notwithstanding
this, the sons of men did not turn from their
evil ways, and their hands were yet extended
to do evil in the sight of the Lord.

7 And in those days there was neither sowing
nor reaping in the earth; and there was no food
for the sons of men and the famine was very
great in those days.

8 And the seed which they sowed in those days
in the ground became thorns, thistles and
briers; for from the days of Adam was this
declaration concerning the earth, of the curse
of God, which he cursed the earth, on account
of the sin which Adam sinned before the Lord.

9 And it was when men continued to rebel and
transgress against God, and to corrupt their
ways, that the earth also became corrupt.

10 And Enosh lived ninety years and he begat
Cainan;

11 And Cainan grew up and he was forty years
old, and he became wise and had knowledge
and skill in all wisdom, and he reigned over all
the sons of men, and he led the sons of men to
wisdom and knowledge; for Cainan was a very
wise man and had understanding in all wisdom,
and with his wisdom he ruled over spirits and
demons;

12 And Cainan knew by his wisdom that God
would destroy the sons of men for having
sinned upon earth, and that the Lord would in
the latter days bring upon them the waters of
the flood.

13 And in those days Cainan wrote upon tablets
of stone, what was to take place in time to
come, and he put them in his treasures.

14 And Cainan reigned over the whole earth,
and he turned some of the sons of men to the
service of God.

15 And when Cainan was seventy years old, he
begat three sons and two daughters.

16 And these are the names of the children of
Cainan; the name of the first born Mahlallel,
the second Enan, and the third Mered, and
their sisters were Adah and Zillah; these are
the five children of Cainan that were born to
him.

17 And Lamech, the son of Methusael, became
related to Cainan by marriage, and he took his
two daughters for his wives, and Adah
conceived and bare a son to Lamech, and she
called his name Jabal.

18 And she again conceived and bare a son, and
called his name Jubal; and Zillah, her sister,
was barren in those days and had no offspring.

19 For in those days the sons of men began to
trespass against God, and to transgress the
commandments which he had commanded to
Adam, to be fruitful and multiply in the earth.

20 And some of the sons of men caused their
wives to drink a draught that would render
them barren, in order that they might retain
their figures and whereby their beautiful
appearance might not fade.

21 And when the sons of men caused some of
their wives to drink, Zillah drank with them.

22 And the child-bearing women appeared
abominable in the sight of their husbands as
widows, whilst their husbands lived, for to the
barren ones only they were attached.

23 And in the end of days and years, when
Zillah became old, the Lord opened her womb.

24 And she conceived and bare a son and she
called his name Tubal Cain, saying, After I had
withered away have I obtained him from the
Almighty God.

25 And she conceived again and bare a
daughter, and she called her name Naamah, for
she said, After I had withered away have I
obtained pleasure and delight.

26 And Lamech was old and advanced in years,
and his eyes were dim that he could not see,
and Tubal Cain, his son, was leading him and it
was one day that Lamech went into the field
and Tubal Cain his son was with him, and whilst
they were walking in the field, Cain the son of
Adam advanced towards them; for Lamech was
very old and could not see much, and Tubal
Cain his son was very young.

27 And Tubal Cain told his father to draw his
bow, and with the arrows he smote Cain, who
was yet far off, and he slew him, for he
appeared to them to be an animal.

28 And the arrows entered Cain's body
although he was distant from them, and he fell
to the ground and died.

29 And the Lord requited Cain's evil according
to his wickedness, which he had done to his
brother Abel, according to the word of the Lord
which he had spoken.

30 And it came to pass when Cain had died,
that Lamech and Tubal went to see the animal
which they had slain, and they saw, and behold
Cain their grandfather was fallen dead upon the
earth.

31 And Lamech was very much grieved at
having done this, and in clapping his hands
together he struck his son and caused his
death.

32 And the wives of Lamech heard what
Lamech had done, and they sought to kill him.

33 And the wives of Lamech hated him from
that day, because he slew Cain and Tubal Cain,
and the wives of Lamech separated from him,
and would not hearken to him in those days.

34 And Lamech came to his wives, and he
pressed them to listen to him about this
matter.

35 And he said to his wives Adah and Zillah,
Hear my voice O wives of Lamech, attend to
my words, for now you have imagined and said
that I slew a man with my wounds, and a child
with my stripes for their having done no
violence, but surely know that I am old and
grey-headed, and that my eyes are heavy
through age, and I did this thing unknowingly.

36 And the wives of Lamech listened to him in
this matter, and they returned to him with the
advice of their father Adam, but they bore no
children to him from that time, knowing that
God's anger was increasing in those days
against the sons of men, to destroy them with
the waters of the flood for their evil doings.

37 And Mahlallel the son of Cainan lived sixty-
five years and he begat Jared; and Jared lived
sixty-two years and he begat Enoch.

CHAPTER~3

1 And Enoch lived sixty-five years and he begat
Methuselah; and Enoch walked with God after
having begot Methuselah, and he served the
Lord, and despised the evil ways of men.

2 And the soul of Enoch was wrapped up in the
instruction of the Lord, in knowledge and in
understanding; and he wisely retired from the
sons of men, and secreted himself from them
for many days.

3 And it was at the expiration of many years,
whilst he was serving the Lord, and praying
before him in his house, that an angel of the
Lord called to him from Heaven, and he said,
Here am I.

4 And he said, Rise, go forth from thy house
and from the place where thou dost hide
thyself, and appear to the sons of men, in
order that thou mayest teach them the way in
which they should go and the work which they
must accomplish to enter in the ways of God.

5 And Enoch rose up according to the word of
the Lord, and went forth from his house, from
his place and from the chamber in which he
was concealed; and he went to the sons of men
and taught them the ways of the Lord, and at
that time assembled the sons of men and
acquainted them with the instruction of the
Lord.

6 And he ordered it to be proclaimed in all
places where the sons of men dwelt, saying,
Where is the man who wishes to know the ways
of the Lord and good works? let him come to
Enoch.

7 And all the sons of men then assembled to
him, for all who desired this thing went to
Enoch, and Enoch reigned over the sons of men
according to the word of the Lord, and they
came and bowed to him and they heard his
word.

8 And the spirit of God was upon Enoch, and he
taught all his men the wisdom of God and his
ways, and the sons of men served the Lord all
the days of Enoch, and they came to hear his
wisdom.

9 And all the kings of the sons of men, both
first and last, together with their princes and
judges, came to Enoch when they heard of his
wisdom, and they bowed down to him, and
they also required of Enoch to reign over them,
to which he consented.

10 And they assembled in all, one hundred and
thirty kings and princes, and they made Enoch
king over them and they were all under his
power and command.

11 And Enoch taught them wisdom, knowledge,
and the ways of the Lord; and he made peace
amongst them, and peace was throughout the
earth during the life of Enoch.

12 And Enoch reigned over the sons of men
two hundred and forty-three years, and he did
justice and righteousness with all his people,
and he led them in the ways of the Lord.

13 And these are the generations of Enoch,
Methuselah, Elisha, and Elimelech, three sons;
and their sisters were Melca and Nahmah, and
Methuselah lived eighty-seven years and he
begat Lamech.

14 And it was in the fifty-sixth year of the life
of Lamech when Adam died; nine hundred and
thirty years old was he at his death, and his two
sons, with Enoch and Methuselah his son,
buried him with great pomp, as at the burial of
kings, in the cave which God had told him
.
15 And in that place all the sons of men made a
great mourning and weeping on account of
Adam; it has therefore become a custom
among the sons of men to this day.

16 And Adam died because he ate of the tree
of knowledge; he and his children after him, as
the Lord God had spoken.

17 And it was in the year of Adam's death
which was the two hundred and forty-third year
of the reign of Enoch, in that time Enoch
resolved to separate himself from the sons of
men and to secret himself as at first in order to
serve the Lord.

18 And Enoch did so, but did not entirely secret
himself from them, but kept away from the
sons of men three days and then went to them
for one day.

19 And during the three days that he was in his
chamber, he prayed to, and praised the Lord
his God, and the day on which he went and
appeared to his subjects he taught them the
ways of the Lord, and all they asked him about
the Lord he told them.

20 And he did in this manner for many years,
and he afterward concealed himself for six
days, and appeared to his people one day in
seven; and after that once in a month, and then
once in a year, until all the kings, princes and
sons of men sought for him, and desired again
to see the face of Enoch, and to hear his word;
but they could not, as all the sons of men were
greatly afraid of Enoch, and they feared to
approach him on account of the Godlike awe
that was seated upon his countenance;
therefore no man could look at him, fearing he
might be punished and die.

21 And all the kings and princes resolved to
assemble the sons of men, and to come to
Enoch, thinking that they might all speak to him
at the time when he should come forth
amongst them, and they did so.

22 And the day came when Enoch went forth
and they all assembled and came to him, and
Enoch spoke to them the words of the Lord and
he taught them wisdom and knowledge, and
they bowed down before him and they said,
May the king live! May the king live!

23 And in some time after, when the kings and
princes and the sons of men were speaking to
Enoch, and Enoch was teaching them the ways
of God, behold an angel of the Lord then called
unto Enoch from heaven, and wished to bring
him up to heaven to make him reign there
over the sons of God, as he had reigned over
the sons of men upon earth.

24 When at that time Enoch heard this he went
and assembled all the inhabitants of the earth,
and taught them wisdom and knowledge and
gave them divine instructions, and he said to
them, I have been required to ascend into
heaven, I therefore do not know the day of my
going.

25 And now therefore I will teach you wisdom
and knowledge and will give you instruction
before I leave you, how to act upon earth
whereby you may live; and he did so.

26 And he taught them wisdom and knowledge,
and gave them instruction, and he reproved
them, and he placed before them statutes and
judgments to do upon earth, and he made
peace amongst them, and he taught them
everlasting life, and dwelt with them some
time teaching them all these things.

27 And at that time the sons of men were with
Enoch, and Enoch was speaking to them, and
they lifted up their eyes and the likeness of a
great horse descended from heaven, and the
horse paced in the air;

28 And they told Enoch what they had seen,
and Enoch said to them, On my account does
this horse descend upon earth; the time is
come when I must go from you and I shall no
more be seen by you.

29 And the horse descended at that time and
stood before Enoch, and all the sons of men
that were with Enoch saw him.

30 And Enoch then again ordered a voice to be
proclaimed, saying, Where is the man who
delighteth to know the ways of the Lord his
God, let him come this day to Enoch before he
is taken from us.

31 And all the sons of men assembled and
came to Enoch that day; and all the kings of the
earth with their princes and counsellors
remained with him that day; and Enoch then
taught the sons of men wisdom and knowledge,
and gave them divine instruction; and he bade
them serve the Lord and walk in his ways all
the days of their lives, and he continued to
make peace amongst them.

32 And it was after this that he rose up and
rode upon the horse; and he went forth and all
the sons of men went after him, about eight
hundred thousand men; and they went with
him one day's journey.

33 And the second day he said to them, Return
home to your tents, why will you go? perhaps
you may die; and some of them went from
him, and those that remained went with him
six day's journey; and Enoch said to them every
day, Return to your tents, lest you may die; but
they were not willing to return, and they went
with him.

34 And on the sixth day some of the men
remained and clung to him, and they said to
him, We will go with thee to the place where
thou goest; as the Lord liveth, death only shall
separate us.

35 And they urged so much to go with him, that
he ceased speaking to them; and they went
after him and would not return;

36 And when the kings returned they caused a
census to be taken, in order to know the
number of remaining men that went with
Enoch; and it was upon the seventh day that
Enoch ascended into heaven in a whirlwind,
with horses and chariots of fire.

37 And on the eighth day all the kings that had
been with Enoch sent to bring back the number
of men that were with Enoch, in that place
from which he ascended into heaven.

38 And all those kings went to the place and
they found the earth there filled with snow,
and upon the snow were large stones of snow,
and one said to the other, Come, let us break
through the snow and see, perhaps the men
that remained with Enoch are dead, and are
now under the stones of snow, and they
searched but could not find him, for he had
ascended into heaven.

CHAPTER~4

1 And all the days that Enoch lived upon earth,
were three hundred and sixty-five years.

2 And when Enoch had ascended into heaven,
all the kings of the earth rose and took
Methuselah his son and anointed him, and they
caused him to reign over them in the place of
his father.

3 And Methuselah acted uprightly in the sight
of God, as his father Enoch had taught him, and
he likewise during the whole of his life taught
the sons of men wisdom, knowledge and the
fear of God, and he did not turn from the good
way either to the right or to the left.

4 But in the latter days of Methuselah, the sons
of men turned from the Lord, they corrupted
the earth, they robbed and plundered each
other, and they rebelled against God and they
transgressed, and they corrupted their ways,
and would not hearken to the voice of
Methuselah, but rebelled against him.

5 And the Lord was exceedingly wroth against
them, and the Lord continued to destroy the
seed in those days, so that there was neither
sowing nor reaping in the earth.

6 For when they sowed the ground in order
that they might obtain food for their support,
behold, thorns and thistles were produced
which they did not sow.

7 And still the sons of men did not turn from
their evil ways, and their hands were still
extended to do evil in the sight of God, and
they provoked the Lord with their evil ways,
and the Lord was very wroth, and repented that
he had made man.

8 And he thought to destroy and annihilate
them and he did so.

9 In those days when Lamech the son of
Methuselah was one hundred and sixty years
old, Seth the son of Adam died.

10 And all the days that Seth lived, were nine
hundred and twelve years, and he died.

11 And Lamech was one hundred and eighty
years old when he took Ashmua, the daughter
of Elishaa the son of Enoch his uncle, and she
conceived.

12 And at that time the sons of men sowed the
ground, and a little food was produced, yet the
sons of men did not turn from their evil ways,
and they trespassed and rebelled against God.

13 And the wife of Lamech conceived and bare
him a son at that time, at the revolution of the
year.

14 And Methuselah called his name Noah,
saying, The earth was in his days at rest and
free from corruption, and Lamech his father
called his name Menachem, saying, This one
shall comfort us in our works and miserable
toil in the earth, which God had cursed.

15 And the child grew up and was weaned, and
he went in the ways of his father Methuselah,
perfect and upright with God.

16 And all the sons of men departed from the
ways of the Lord in those days as they
multiplied upon the face of the earth with sons
and daughters, and they taught one another
their evil practices and they continued sinning
against the Lord.

17 And every man made unto himself a god,
and they robbed and plundered every man his
neighbor as well as his relative, and they
corrupted the earth, and the earth was filled
with violence.

18 And their judges and rulers went to the
daughters of men and took their wives by force
from their husbands according to their choice,
and the sons of men in those days took from
the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field
and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture
of animals of one species with the other, in
order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God
saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all
flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all
men and all animals.

19 And the Lord said, I will blot out man that I
created from the face of the earth, yea from
man to the birds of the air, together with cattle
and beasts that are in the field for I repent that
I made them.

20 And all men who walked in the ways of the
Lord, died in those days, before the Lord
brought the evil upon man which he had
declared, for this was from the Lord, that they
should not see the evil which the Lord spoke of
concerning the sons of men.

21 And Noah found grace in the sight of the
Lord, and the Lord chose him and his children
to raise up seed from them upon the face of
the whole earth.

CHAPTER~5

1 And it was in the eighty-fourth year of the
life of Noah, that Enoch the son of Seth died,
he was nine hundred and five years old at his
death.

2 And in the one hundred and seventy ninth
year of the life of Noah, Cainan the son of
Enosh died, and all the days of Cainan were
nine hundred and ten years, and he died.

3 And in the two hundred and thirty fourth
year of the life of Noah, Mahlallel the son of
Cainan died, and the days of Mahlallel were
eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he
died.

4 And Jared the son of Mahlallel died in those
days, in the three hundred and thirty-sixth year
of the life of Noah; and all the days of Jared
were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he
died.

5 And all who followed the Lord died in those
days, before they saw the evil which God
declared to do upon earth.

6 And after the lapse of many years, in the four
hundred and eightieth year of the life of Noah,
when all those men, who followed the Lord had
died away from amongst the sons of men, and
only Methuselah was then left, God said unto
Noah and Methuselah, saying,

7 Speak ye, and proclaim to the sons of men,
saying, Thus saith the Lord, return from your
evil ways and forsake your works, and the Lord
will repent of the evil that he declared to do to
you, so that it shall not come to pass.

8 For thus saith the Lord, Behold I give you a
period of one hundred and twenty years; if you
will turn to me and forsake your evil ways, then
will I also turn away from the evil which I told
you, and it shall not exist, saith the Lord.

9 And Noah and Methuselah spoke all the
words of the Lord to the sons of men, day after
day, constantly speaking to them.

10 But the sons of men would not hearken to
them, nor incline their ears to their words, and
they were stiffnecked.

11 And the Lord granted them a period of one
hundred and twenty years, saying, If they will
return, then will God repent of the evil, so as
not to destroy the earth.

12 Noah the son of Lamech refrained from
taking a wife in those days, to beget children,
for he said, Surely now God will destroy the
earth, wherefore then shall I beget children?

13 And Noah was a just man, he was perfect in
his generation, and the Lord chose him to raise
up seed from his seed upon the face of the
earth.

14 And the Lord said unto Noah, Take unto
thee a wife, and beget children, for I have seen
thee righteous before me in this generation.

15 And thou shalt raise up seed, and thy
children with thee, in the midst of the earth;
and Noah went and took a wife, and he chose
Naamah the daughter of Enoch, and she was
five hundred and eighty years old.

16 And Noah was four hundred and ninety-
eight years old, when he took Naamah for a
wife.

17 And Naamah conceived and bare a son, and
he called his name Japheth, saying, God has
enlarged me in the earth; and she conceived
again and bare a son, and he called his name
Shem, saying, God has made me a remnant, to
raise up seed in the midst of the earth.

18 And Noah was five hundred and two years
old when Naamah bare Shem, and the boys
grew up and went in the ways of the Lord, in all
that Methuselah and Noah their father taught
them.

19 And Lamech the father of Noah, died in
those days; yet verily he did not go with all his
heart in the ways of his father, and he died in
the hundred and ninety-fifth year of the life of
Noah.

20 And all the days of Lamech were seven
hundred and seventy years, and he died.

21 And all the sons of men who knew the Lord,
died in that year before the Lord brought evil
upon them; for the Lord willed them to die, so
as not to behold the evil that God would bring
upon their brothers and relatives, as he had so
declared to do.

22 In that time, the Lord said to Noah and
Methuselah, Stand forth and proclaim to the
sons of men all the words that I spoke to you in
those days, peradventure they may turn from
their evil ways, and I will then repent of the
evil and will not bring it.

23 And Noah and Methuselah stood forth, and
said in the ears of the sons of men, all that God
had spoken concerning them.

24 But the sons of men would not hearken,
neither would they incline their ears to all their
declarations.

25 And it was after this that the Lord said to
Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me,
on account of their evil deeds, and behold I will
destroy the earth.

26 And do thou take unto thee gopher wood,
and go to a certain place and make a large ark,
and place it in that spot.

27 And thus shalt thou make it; three hundred
cubits its length, fifty cubits broad and thirty
cubits high.

28 And thou shalt make unto thee a door, open
at its side, and to a cubit thou shalt finish
above, and cover it within and without with
pitch.

29 And behold I will bring the flood of waters
upon the earth, and all flesh be destroyed,
from under the heavens all that is upon earth
shall perish.

30 And thou and thy household shall go and
gather two couple of all living things, male and
female, and shall bring them to the ark, to
raise up seed from them upon earth.

31 And gather unto thee all food that is eaten
by all the animals, that there may be food for
thee and for them.

32 And thou shalt choose for thy sons three
maidens, from the daughters of men, and they
shall be wives to thy sons.

33 And Noah rose up, and he made the ark, in
the place where God had commanded him, and
Noah did as God had ordered him.

34 In his five hundred and ninety-fifth year
Noah commenced to make the ark, and he
made the ark in five years, as the Lord had
commanded.

35 Then Noah took the three daughters of
Eliakim, son of Methuselah, for wives for his
sons, as the Lord had commanded Noah.

36 And it was at that time Methuselah the son
of Enoch died, nine hundred and sixty years old
was he, at his death.
