The Bible: In the Beginning...

In the beginning, God created

the Heaven and the Earth.

And the Earth was

without form and void...

...and darkness was upon the face

of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved

upon the face of the waters.

And God said, "Let there be light. "

And there was light.

And God divided the light

from the darkness.

And God called the light "day. "

And the darkness He called "night. "

And the evening and the morning

were the first day.

And God said, "Let there be

a firmament...

...in the midst of the waters.

And let it divide the waters

from the waters. "

And God called

the firmament "heaven. "

And the evening and the morning

were the second day.

And God said:

"Let the waters under the heaven...

...be gathered together

unto one place...

...and let the dry land appear. "

The gathering together

of the waters...

...called He "seas. "

And He called the dry land "earth. "

And God said,

"Let the earth bring forth grass...

...the herb yielding seed and

the fruit tree yielding fruit...

...whose seed is in itself

upon the earth. "

And the evening and the morning

were the third day.

And God said, "Let there be lights

in the firmament of the heaven...

...and let them be for signs

and for seasons...

...and for days and years. "

And God made two great lights:

The greater light, to rule the day...

...and the lesser light,

to rule the night.

He made the stars also.

And God set them in the firmament

of the heaven...

...to give light upon the Earth.

And the evening and the morning

were the fourth day.

And God said, "Let the waters

bring forth abundantly...

...the moving creature

that hath life...

...and fowl that fly above the earth

in the open firmament of heaven. "

And God created great whales...

...and every living creature

that moveth...

...which the waters brought forth

abundantly after their kind.

God blessed them, saying:

"Be fruitful and multiply

and fill the waters...

...and the seas. "

And the evening and the morning

were the fifth day.

And God said, "Let the earth

bring forth...

...the living creature

after his kind.

And everything that creepeth

upon the earth after his kind...

...cattle and the beast of the earth

after his kind. "

And God saw that it was good.

And God said:

"Let us make man in our own image...

...after our likeness. "

The Lord God formed man

of the dust of the ground...

...and breathed into his nostrils

the breath of life...

...and man became a living soul.

And God brought unto Adam

every beast of the field...

...and every fowl of the air...

...to see what he would call them.

And the Lord said:

"It is not good that the man

should be alone. "

And He caused a deep sleep

to fall upon Adam.

And he slept.

And God made a woman

and brought her unto the man.

This is now bone of my bones

and flesh of my flesh.

So God created man

in His own image...

...in the image of God

created He him...

...male and female created He them.

And God saw everything

that He had made...

...and behold, it was very good.

And the evening and the morning

were the sixth day.

And on the seventh day God rested...

...from all His work

which He had made.

And God blessed the seventh day

and sanctified it.

Eastward, in Eden,

God had planted a garden.

And He said, "Go into the garden

I have made.

Tend it and keep it.

Of every tree of the garden

thou mayest freely eat.

But of the Tree of the Knowledge

of Good and Evil...

...thou shalt not eat of it.

For in the day

that thou eatest thereof...

...thou shalt surely die. "

And God blessed them

and said unto them:

"Be fruitful and multiply. "

Eve....

Eve....

Eve....

Hath God said...

...ye shall not eat of every tree

in the garden?

We may eat of the fruit of the trees

of the garden...

...but of the fruit of this tree

God hath said:

"Ye shall not eat of it...

...neither shall ye touch it,

lest ye die. "

Ye shall not surely die.

For God doth know that in the day

ye eat thereof...

...then your eyes shall be opened...

...and ye shall be as gods...

...knowing good and evil.

The serpent hath said

that we shall not die...

...that our eyes shall be opened

and we shall be as gods.

Taste it. There's no harm.

It is...

...disobedience.

It will make us wise.

And the Lord God called unto Adam:

"Where art thou?"

I heard thy voice and I was afraid

because I was naked, and I hid myself.

Who told thee that thou wast naked?

Hast thou eaten of the tree...

...whereof I commanded thee

that thou shouldst not eat?

The woman thou gavest to be with me...

...she gave me of the tree,

and I did eat.

What is it that thou hast done?

The serpent beguiled me and I did eat.

Because thou hast done this...

...thou art cursed above all cattle...

...and above every beast of the field.

Upon thy belly shalt thou go...

...and dust shalt thou eat

all the days of thy life.

I will put enmity between thee

and the woman...

...between thy seed and her seed.

It shall bruise thy head...

...and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Eve...

...I will greatly multiply thy sorrow

and thy conception.

In sorrow shalt thou bring forth

children...

...and thy desire shall be

to thy husband...

...and he shall rule over thee.

Adam, because thou hast harkened

unto thy wife...

...and hast eaten of the tree...

...cursed is the ground

for thy sake...

...in sorrow shalt thou eat of it

all the days of thy life...

...thorns also and thistles

shall it bring forth to thee.

Thou shalt eat the herb

of the field.

In the sweat of thy face

shalt thou eat bread...

...until thou returnest

unto the ground.

For out of it was thou taken.

For dust thou art...

...and unto dust shalt thou return.

I have made a man from the Lord God.

Thy name shall be called Cain.

And the meaning of Cain

is "possession. "

Eve again bare a son...

...and his name was Abel...

...which means "breath of life. "

And the children of Eve

grew to be men.

Cain was a tiller of the ground...

...and Abel was a keeper of flocks.

At the time of the harvest,

they builded altars...

...and kindled fires upon them.

And Abel brought of the firstlings

of his flock...

...and the fat thereof.

And Cain also brought of the fruit

of the ground...

...an offering unto the Lord.

And the Lord had respect unto Abel

and his offering.

But unto Cain and his offering

He had not respect.

Why art thou angry?

If thou doest well,

shalt thou not be accepted?

Cain?

Cain.

Where is Abel, thy brother?

I know not!

Where is Abel, thy brother?

Am I my brother's keeper?

What hast thou done?

The voice of thy brother's blood...

...crieth unto me from the ground.

Now art thou cursed from the Earth...

...which hath opened to receive

thy brother's blood from thy hand.

When thou tillest the ground...

...it shall not yield

unto thee her strength.

A fugitive and a vagabond

shalt thou be in the Earth.

For dust thou art and unto dust

shalt thou return.

My punishment is greater
