The Serpent In The Garden

The most cunning of the beasts which the Lord had made was the serpent and the serpent said to the woman: "Did God forbid you to eat the fruit of the trees of the garden?"
    The woman said: "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden, except the tree which is in the middle of the garden.
     "Of this God said, 'You shall not eat of it nor touch it, lest you die.'"
     "You will not die," said the serpent. "God knows that the day you eat of the fruit your eyes shall be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil."
     The woman looked at the tree and saw that it was pleasant to the eye and good for food. She felt it was to be desired because it would make one wise.
     So she picked some of the fruit and ate it, and she gave some also to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
     Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves.
     In the cool of the day the Lord walked in the garden. The man and the woman heard the voice of the Lord and hid themselves from his presence, among the trees of the garden.
     The Lord God called to man saying: "Where are you?"
     "I have heard your voice in the garden," said man. "I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself."
     "Who told you that you were naked?" asked the Lord God. "Have you eaten the fruit of the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?"
     Man said: The woman whom you gave me to be with me, gave me fruit of the tree and I did eat."
     The Lord God said to the woman: "What is this you have done?"
     The serpent tempted me," said the woman. "and I ate."

The Garden Of Eden


od planted a garden in the east, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. Out of the ground the Lord made trees of every kind to grow, both those that are pleasant to the eye and those that are good for food. In the middle of the garden he planted the tree of life, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and beneath the garden the river divided and became four rivers. The first was called Pison; the name of the second was Gihon, the third Hiddekel, and the fourth Euphrates.
  God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to care for it and keep it. And God commanded the man,saying:
  "Of every tree in the garden you may eat freely, except for the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Of this, do not eat, for in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die."
   Then the Lord God Said:
   "It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make a companion for him."
    But first God brought every beast of the field and every bird of the air, which he had made out of the earth, to man, to see what he would call them, and what man called each creatures, this became that creature's name. Man gave names to the catlle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for himsef, man did not find a companion.
    So God put man into a deep sleep and as he slept, God took one of his ribs. This rib the Lord God made into woman, and he brought her to man who said:
    "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. Her name shall be Woman, because she is taken out of Man." And the man and the woman were naked but they were not ashamed.

The Creation

The First Day 
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The earth was without form and empty.Darkness was everywhere and in the darkness the spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep.
God Said: "Let there be light", and there was light.
God saw that it was good and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day and the darkness he called Night.
And there were evening and morning: the first day.

The Second Day 
God Said: "Let there be a sky in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters." Then God made the sky and he separated the waters above from the waters below.
God called the sky Heaven . And there were evening and morning : the second day.

The Third Day.
God Said: "Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together in one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. God called the dry land Earth , and the waters he called Seas. And he Said:
"Let the earth bring forth grass , and yield plants bearing seed , and trees bearing fruit." The earth did so and God saw that it was good.
This was the third day.  

The Fourth Day.
God Said: "Let there be lights in the sky of heaven to divide the day from the night. Let them be for signs and for seasons, for days and for years. Let them be for lights in the sky of heaven to give light upon the earth ."
And it was so.
God made two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars and set them in the sky of heaven to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and over the night , and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good
This was the fourth day.

The Fifth Day.
God Said: "Let the waters bring forth in great numbers moving creatures that have life, and let birds fly above the earth in the open sky of heaven."
So God created great whales , and every living creature that moves. These the waters brought forth in great numbers. He created the birds, and saw that all this was good.
He blessed the creatures and said:
"Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the sea. Let the birds also multiply on the earth."
This was the fifth day.

The Sixth Day.
God Said: "Let the earth bring forth creatures of all kinds, cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth." "The earth did so and God saw that this was good.
"Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let him have power over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, over all the earth and over everything that moves on the earth."
So God created man in his own image. In the image of God he created man and woman . Male and female ceated he them.
And he blessed them and said to them:
"Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and have power over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air, over every living thing that moves upon the earth."
"Behold, I have given you every plant bearing seed and every tree yielding fruit which is upon the face of the earth. They shall be your food. To every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, to everything that creeps upon the earth and has life, I have given the grass and the plants for food." And it was so.
God saw everything that he had made, and it was very good.
This was the sixth day.

The Seventh Day.
The heavens and the earth were finished and filled with life. On the seventh day God rested from his work and all that he had made. God blessed the seventh day and made it a holy day, because on that day he had rested.
This is how the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, and every plants before it was in the earth, and every tree of the field before it grew. And when God had made man, a mist had gone up from the earth, and had watered the whole surface of the ground.
The Lord God had formed man of the dust of the ground, and had breathed into him the breath of life, and man had become a living soul.
