Notes	Transcriber's typographic notes: The original text contains frequent use of the long s (ſ) where the letter occurs within or at the beginning of a word. It has been faithfully reproduced here. The letter variant r rotunda was used wherever the letter combination "or" occurred, but because it is unavailable in most typefaces, it has not been reproduced here. The same character is used for both modern letters "I" and "J", and also "i" and "j". In this transcription it appears as "I", or "i", for both. For both the modern letters "u" and "v", the original text used only the letter "u" to represent both in all cases but when it was the first character of the word, when "v" appears instead. The Tironian "et" (⁊) was also used in this text and has been reproduced here.

[edit] The First Booke of Moses, called Genesis

[edit] Chapter I.

1 The creation of Heauen and Earth, 3 of the light, 6 of the firmament, 9 of the earth ſeparated from the waters, 11 and made fruitfull, 14 of the Sunne, Moone, and Starres, 20 of fiſh and fowle, 24 of beaſts and cattell, 26 of Man in the Image of God. 29 Alſo the appointment of food.

¹ In ** Pſal. 33. 6. and 136. 5. aƈts. 14. 15. and 17. 24. hebr. 11. 3. the beginning God created the Heauen, and the Earth.

² And the earth was without forme, and voyd; and darkeneſſe was vpon the face of the deepe: and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the face of the waters.

³ And God ſaid, * 2. Cor. 4. 6. Let there be light: and there was light.

⁴ And God ſaw the light, that it was good: and God diuided †† Hebr. betweene the light and betweene the darkeneſſe. the light from the darkeneſſe.

⁵ And God called the light, Day, and the darkneſſe he called Night: †† Hebr. and the euening was, and the morning was &c. and the euening and the morning were the firſt day.

⁶ ¶ And God ſaid, ** Pſal. 136. 5. ier. 10. 12 and 51. 15. Let there be a †† Hebr. Expanſion. firmament in the midſt of the waters: and let it diuide the waters from the waters.

⁷ And God made the firmament; and diuided the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters, which were aboue the firmament: and it was ſo.

⁸ And God called the ** Ier. 51. 15. firmament, Heauen: and the euening and the morning were the ſecond day.

⁹ ¶ And God ſaid, ** Pſal. 33. 7. and 136. 5. iob. 38. 8. Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered together vnto one place, and let the dry land appeare: and it was ſo.

¹⁰ And God called the drie land, Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called hee, Seas: and God ſaw that it was good.

¹¹ And God ſaid, Let the Earth bring foorth †† Heb. tender graſſe. graſſe, the herbe yeelding ſeed, and the fruit tree, yeelding fruit after his kinde, whoſe ſeed is in it ſelfe, vpon the earth: and it was ſo.

¹² And the earth brought foorth graſſe, and herbe yeelding ſeed after his kinde, and the tree yeelding fruit, whoſe ſeed was in it ſelfe, after his kinde: and God ſaw that it was good.

¹³ And the euening and the morning were the third day.

¹⁴ ¶ And God ſaid, Let there bee ** Deu. 4. 19 pſal. 136. 7. lights in the firmament of the heauen, to diuide †† Hebr. betweene the day and betweene the night. the day from the night: and let them be for ſignes and for ſeaſons, and for dayes and yeeres.

¹⁵ And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heauen, to giue light vpon the earth: and it was ſo.

¹⁶ And God made two great lights: the greater light †† Hebr. for the rule of the day, &c. to rule the day, and the leſſer light to rule the night: he made the ſtarres alſo.

¹⁷ And God ſet them in the firmament of the heauen, to giue light vpon the earth:

¹⁸ And to ** Ier. 31. 35 rule ouer the day, and {{{text}}} ouer the night, and to diuide the light from the darkeneſſe: and God ſaw that it was good.

¹⁹ And the euening and the morning were the fourth day.

²⁰ And God ſaid, ** 4. Eſdr. 6. 47. Let the waters bring foorth aboundantly the ǁǁ Or, creeping. mouing creature that hath †† Heb. ſoule. life, and foule that may flie aboue the earth in the †† Heb. face of the firmament of heauen. open firmament of heauen.

²¹ And God created great whales, and euery liuing creature that moueth, which the waters brought forth aboundantly after their kinde, and euery winged foule after his kinde: and God ſaw that it was good.

²² And God bleſſed them, ſaying, ** Chap. 8. 17. and 9. 1. Be fruitfull, and multiply, and fill the waters in the Seas, and let foule multiply in the earth.

²³ And the euening and the morning were the fift day.

²⁴ ¶ And God ſaid, Let the earth bring forth the liuing creature after his kinde, cattell, and creeping thing, and beaſt of the earth after his kinde: and it was ſo.

²⁵ And God made the beaſt of the earth after his kinde, and cattell after their kinde, and euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth, after his kinde: and God ſaw that it was good.

²⁶ ¶ And God ſaid, ** Chap. 5. 1. and 9. 6. 1. corin. 11. 7. epheſ. 4. 14. col. 3. 10. Let vs make man in our Image, after our likeneſſe: and let them haue dominion ouer the fiſh of the ſea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer the cattell, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth.

²⁷ So God created man in his owne Image, in the Image of God created hee him; ** Matth. 19 4. wiſd. 2. 23. male and female created hee them.

²⁸ And God bleſſed them, and God ſaid vnto them, ** Chap. 9. 1. Be fruitfull, and multiply, and repleniſh the earth, and ſubdue it, and haue dominion ouer the fiſh of the ſea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer euery liuing thing that †† Heb. creepeth. mooueth vpon the earth.

²⁹ ¶ And God ſaid, Behold, I haue giuen you euery herbe †† Hebr. ſeeding ſeed. bearing ſeede, which is vpon the face of all the earth, and euery tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yeelding ſeed, ** Chap. 9. 3. to you it ſhall be for meat:

³⁰ And to euery beaſt of the earth, and to euery foule of the aire, and to euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth, wherein there is †† Hebr. a liuing ſoule. life, I haue giuen euery greene herbe for meat: and it was ſo.

³¹ And ** Ecclus. 39 16. God ſaw euery thing that hee had made: and behold, it was very good. And the euening and the morning were the ſixth day.

[edit] Chapter II.

1 The firſt Sabbath. 4 The maner of the creation. 8 The planting of the garden of Eden, 10 and the riuer thereof. 17 The tree of knowledge onely forbidden. 19. 20 The naming of the creatures. 21 The making of woman, and inſtitution of Mariage.

¹ Thus the heauens and the earth were finiſhed, and all the hoſte of them.

² ** Exod. 20. 11. and 31. 17. deut. 5. 14. hebr. 4. 4. And on the ſeuenth day God ended his worke, which hee had made: And he reſted on the ſeuenth day from all his worke, which he had made.

³ And God bleſſed the ſeuenth day, and ſanctified it: becauſe that in it he had reſted from all his worke, which God †† Heb. created to make. created and made.

⁴ ¶ Theſe are the generations of the heauens, ⁊ of the earth, when they were created; in the day that the LORD God made the earth, and the heauens,

⁵ And euery plant of the field, before it was in the earth, and euery herbe of the field, before it grew: for the LORD God had not cauſed it to raine vpon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

⁶ ǁǁOr, a miſt which went up from &c. But there went vp a miſt from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

⁷ And the LORD God formed man †† Heb. duſt of the ground. ** 1. Cor. 15 47. of the duſt of the ground, ⁊ breathed into his noſtrils the breath of life, and ** 1. Corin. 15. 45. man became a liuing ſoule.

⁸ ¶ And the LORD God planted a garden Eaſtward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

⁹ And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow euery tree that is pleaſant to the ſight, and good for food: the tree of life alſo in the midſt of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and euill.

¹⁰ And a riuer went out of Eden to water the garden, and from thence it was parted, and became into foure heads.

¹¹ The name of the firſt is ** Ecclus. 24. 29. Piſon: that is it which compaſſeth the whole land of Hauilah, where there is gold.

¹² {{{text}}} And the gold of that land is good: There is Bdellium and the Onix ſtone.

¹³ And the name of the ſecond riuer is Gihon: the ſame is it that compaſſeth the whole land of †† Heb. Cuſh. Ethiopia.

¹⁴ And the name of the third riuer is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth ǁǁOr, Eastward to Aſſyria. toward the Eaſt of Aſſyria: and the fourth riuer is Euphrates.

¹⁵ And the LORD God tooke ǁǁOr, Adam. the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to dreſſe it, and to keepe it.

¹⁶ And the LORD God commanded the man, ſaying, Of euery tree of the garden thou mayeſt †† Hebr. eating thou ſhalt eate. freely eate.

¹⁷ But of the tree of the knowledge of good and euill, thou ſhalt not eate of it: for in the day that thou eateſt thereof, thou ſhalt †† Hebr. dying thou ſhalt die. ſurely die.

¹⁸ ¶ And the LORD God ſaid, It is not good that the man ſhoud be alone: I will make him ** Ecclus. 17. 5. an helpe †† Hebr. as before him. meet for him.

¹⁹ And out of ye ground the LORD God formed euery beaſt of the field, and euery foule of the aire, and brought them vnto ǁǁOr, the man. Adam, to ſee what he would call them: and whatſoeuer Adam called euery liuing creature, that was the name thereof.

²⁰ And Adam †† Hebr. called. gaue names to all cattell, and to the foule of the aire, and to euery beaſt of the fielde: but for Adam there was not found an helpe meete for him.

²¹ And the LORD God cauſed a deepe ſleepe to fall vpon Adam, and hee ſlept; and he tooke one of his ribs, and cloſed vp the fleſh in ſtead thereof.

²² And the rib which the LORD God had taken from man, †† Hebr. builded. made hee a woman, ⁊ brought her vnto the man.

²³ And Adam ſaid, This is now bone of my bones, and fleſh of my fleſh: ſhe ſhalbe called woman, becauſe ſhee was ** 1. Corin. 11. 8. taken out of man.

²⁴ ** Matt. 19. 5. mar. 10. 7. 1. corin. 6. 16. ephe. 5. 31. Therefore ſhall a man leaue his father and his mother, and ſhall cleaue vnto his wife: and they ſhalbe one fleſh.

²⁵ And they were both naked, the man ⁊ his wife, and were not aſhamed.
