Beginning

Beginning, from the Anglish overbringing of the Bible.

Head 1

 * 1) In the beginning, God made heaven and earth.
 * 2) Now the earth was empty and shapeless, and darkness was cast over the deep. God's breathe fared over the waters.
 * 3) God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
 * 4) God saw the light, and that the light was good. God sundered the light from the darkness.
 * 5) God called the light 'day', and the darkness 'night'. The evening and the night were the first day.
 * 6) God said, "Let there be a growth midst the waters, and let it cleave the waters from the waters."
 * 7) God made the growth, and cleft the waters that were beneath it from those that were above it. And it was so.
 * 8) God called the growth "heaven".  The evening and the night were the next day.
 * 9) God said, "Let the waters under the heaven gather together, and let dry land be seen," and it was so.
 * 10) God called the dry land 'earth', and the gathering of water he named 'sea': and God saw that it was good.
 * 11) God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, and the grass yielding seed, and the apple tree bearing apples after its kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth". And it was so.
 * 12) The earth brought forth grass, and the grass yielding seed after its kind, and the tree bearing apples, whose seed is in itself, after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
 * 13) The evening and the morning were the third day.
 * 14) God said, "Let there be lights in the growth of the heaven to cleave the day from the night; and let them be for markers, and for tides, and for days, and years:
 * 15) And let them be for lights in the growth of the heaven to give light upon the earth". And it was so.
 * 16) God made two great lights; the greater light to be lord of the day, and the lesser light to be lord of the night: he made the stars also.
 * 17) And God set them in the growth of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
 * 18) And to be lord of the day and of the night, and to cleave the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
 * 19) The evening and the morning were the fourth day.
 * 20) God said, "Let the waters  teem with living things, and let fowl be in flight above the earth."
 * 21) And God made great whales, and every living thing, which the waters brought forth teemingly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good
 * 22) And God blessed them, saying," be fruitful, and bring forth teemingly, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowls become many on the earth."
 * 23) So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
 * 24) Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living thing after its kind: livestock and creeping thing and wight of the earth, each after its kind", and it was so.
 * 25) And God made the wight of the earth after its kind, livestock after its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
 * 26) Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our wholeness, after Our truth; let them be master over the fish of the sea, over every winged fowl flying above the earth, and over every living thing that creeps on the earth."
 * 27) So God made man in His own wholeness; in the wholeness of God He made them; man and woman. He made them.
 * 28) Then God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and bring forth manifoldly; fill the earth and wield your might over it; be master over the fish of the sea, over every winged fowl flying above the earth, and over every living thing that stirs on the earth,"
 * 29) And God said, "See I have given you every grass that yields seed which is on the topside of the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be food.
 * 30) Also, to every wight of the earth, to every winged fowl flying above the earth, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which, there is life, I have given every green grass for food ", and it was so.
 * 31) Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Head 2

 * 1) Thus God on the sixth day made the heavens and the earth and all the things in them were fully done.
 * 2) And on the sixth day God came to the end of his work; and on the seventh day he rested from all the work which he had done.
 * 3) Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy; for on that day he rested from all the work which he made and done.
 * 4) This is the tale of the heavens and earth when they were made on the day that God made the earth and the heavens,
 * 5) And on the day when God made the heavens and earth there were no worts or weeds of the fields on the earth and no grass had risen up, for God had not yet sent rain to fall onto the earth and there was no man to till the ground.
 * 6) And a mist sprung from the ground and watered the topside of the earth.
 * 7) Then God made man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
 * 8) Then God sowed a green-sward in the east, in Eden, where He put the man that He had made.
 * 9) And out of the ground God made every tree that is fair of sight and good for food; and in the middle of the green-sward he set the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
 * 10) Now there was a stream flowing out of Eden to water the greenyard, and from it welled the headwaters of four other streams.
 * 11) The name of the first stream is Phison; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
 * 12) And the gold of that land is good. Myrrh and handsome stones are there also.
 * 13) The name of the second stream is Gehon; it winds throughout the land of Cush.
 * 14) The name of the third stream is the Tigris; it flows east towards Assyria. The fourth stream is the Euphrates.
 * 15) Then God took the the man that he had made and put him into Eden's green-sward, to till and look after it.
 * 16) And God gave man a behest, saying, "Of all the trees in the green-sward you may freely eat;
 * 17) "But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat, for on the day that you eat from it you will truly die."
 * 18) And God said, "It is not good that man should live alone: I will find him a mate somewhat like himself to help him."
 * 19) Out of the ground God made all the wights of  the field and wilderness, every winged fowl flying above the earth, and brought them to Adam to see what he would name them. And whatever Adam called each living being that was what its name became.
 * 20) And Adam gave names to all the livestock, to the winged fowl flying above the earth, and to every wight of the field and wilderness. But for Adam not yet found for him was a mate to help him.
 * 21) And God made Adam fall into a deep sleep and, while he slumbered, He took out one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its stead.
 * 22) Then God shaped into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
 * 23) And Adam said: "This is now the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, for she was taken out of Man."
 * 24) On this ground, therefore, a man will leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
 * 25) And the man and his wife their bodies were bare, and they felt no shame.

Head 3

 * 1) Now the snake had know-how and was crafty, more so than any other wight in the wild which God had made. One day he asked the woman, "Did God indeed say that you must not eat any of the fruit which the trees in the green-sward bring forth?"
 * 2) And the woman said to the snake, " We may eat from the fruit that the trees in the greensward bring forth;
 * 3) but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the green-sward,  God has said, "Do not eat of it, nor take it in your hands or you will die."
 * 4) You will not die", said the snake to the woman.
 * 5) The snake told the woman, " God knows that as soon as you eat of it, you will know good from evil and be all-knowing like God."
 * 6) Then the woman saw that the tree's yield was good for food, fair of sight and needed to gain wisdom. So she took some of it and ate it, and gave some to her husband who also ate it.
 * 7) Then suddenly they became aware that they were without clothes, and they sewed leaves together to make clothes to hide their shame.
 * 8) And the man and his wife heard the sound of God walking through the green-sward in the cool of the day; and they hid themselves among the trees; away from the sight of God.
 * 9) And God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
 * 10) So he answered, "I heard the sound of You walking in the green-sward and I was full of fear for I was bare, and I hid myself."
 * 11) And God said, "Who told you you were bare? Have you eaten from the tree I told you not to eat from?"
 * 12) Then the man said, " The woman whom You gave me as a mate, she gave me apple of the tree, and I ate it."
 * 13) Then God said to the woman, "What have you done?" The woman answered, "The snake outwitted me and I ate some of that apple."
 * 14) God said to the snake, " For what you have done you will be cursed more than any any other wight of the field or the wild. And you will slink on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life"
 * 15) You and the woman will hate each other; your offspring and her offspring will always be foes. Her offspring will strike your offspring on the head; your offspring will bite her offspring on the heel."
 * 16) To the woman He said, I will make the ordeal of giving birth for you far worse. And in bearing your children your body will hurt deeply. Yet your longing and craving will be for your husband and he will be lord over you."
 * 17) Speaking to Adam He said, " As you have taken the heed of your wife and have eaten from the tree I told you not to eat from, cursed is the ground you are upon. You will toil hard for food: seeding, tilling and harvesting from dawn to dusk all the days of your life.
 * 18) And the ground will bear thistles and thorns for you. and you shall eat weeds and worts of the field."
 * 19) By the sweat of your brow you will gather the food you eat until you go back to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are, and dust you will be again."
 * 20) And Adam called his wife Eve, for she was the mother of all who have life.
 * 21) Also God made clothes out of skins for Adam and Eve to wear.
 * 22) Then God said, " Since man has become like one Us, knowing all from good to evil, and from blessing to bane. And if he should put forth his hand and pick the apple from the tree of life and eat it, he will live for ever."-
 * 23) therefore God sent Adam out of the green-sward of Eden, to toil and till the ground he had been made out of."
 * 24) So He drove them out, and he put at the east of the green-sward of Eden winged beings, and a fiery sword whirling every way to keep fast the way to the tree of life.

Head 4

 * 1) Now Adam made love to his wife Eve; and she became with child and gave birth to Cain and said, “With the Lord’s help I have had a son.”
 * 2) Then again she became with child and gave birth to another son Abel, Cain’s brother. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the ground.
 * 3) Time passed and the day came when Cain brought some fruits of the earth as an offering to the Lord.
 * 4) And Abel also brought an offering. He killed the first born lamb from one of his sheep and set it before the Lord, The Lord was gladden by Abel’s offering and showed favour to him,
 * 5) but upon Cain and his offering he looked unworthily. And Cain was wrathful and his bearing became sad.
 * 6) So the Lord said unto Cain. “Why are you wrathful and brow-fallen?
 * 7) If you do well, will  not worth and good name be bestowed on you?  But if you do not do well, sin is waiting  at the door, wishing to hold wield over you, do not let it be your master.”
 * 8) Now Cain talked with his brother; and it happened that one day, when they were in the field, Cain struck Abel and killed him.
 * 9) Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he said, “ I don’t know: Am I my brother’s keeper?”
 * 10) And He said, “What have you done?  Listen! The steven of your brother’s blood calls out to Me from under the ground.
 * 11) “So now ill and harm will befall you, and you are casted out from this ground, which has open its mouth to your brother‘s  blood shed by your hand.
 * 12) “When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its crops to you. You will be forever an outcast; harried and homeless, a wanderer upon the earth.”
 * 13) And Cain said to the  Lord,  “The wite that you wrought upon me is greater than  the strength I have to bear!
 * 14) “Truly You have driven me out this day from this land, and I shall be hidden from your being; I will be a  restless wanderer upon the earth, and whoever finds me will try to harm me.”
 * 15) And the Lord said to him, ”No, for anyone who kills you or yours afterbears  strike-back shall be  wrought upon him  seven times over. And the Lord put a mark on  Cain to warn anyone who might try to harm or kill him.
 * 16) Then Cain went from the ken of the Lord and wandered in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
 * 17) And Cain and his wife made love, and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch.  And, at that time, Cain was building a town and he called the town after the name of his son --Enoch.
 * 18) And Enoch had a son Irad: and Irad became the father of Mehujael: and Mehujael became the father of Lamech.
 * 19) Then Lamech wed two women, Adah and Zillah.
 * 20) And Adah gave birth to Jabal.  He was the father all those who live in dwellings made from skins and herd livestock.
 * 21) His Brother’s name was Jubal.  He was the father of all  gleeman: the singers of songs, the pluckers of  strings and the bowers of fiddles.
 * 22) And as for Zillah, she gave birth to Tubalcain, the father of all smiths: the blacksmith, the brownsmith, and the brightsmith. Tubalcain’s sister was Naamah.
 * 23) Then Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah listen to what I say. I have killed a man for wounding me, and a youth for striking me.
 * 24) “If seven lives are to be taken for the life of Cain, seventy will be taken for mine.”
 * 25) And Adam and his wife made love again; and she gave birth to a son, and  named him Seth.  “For God, she said, has given me another son in stead of Abel, whom Cain killed.”
 * 26) And as for Seth, he had a son, and  gave him the name of Enosh. At the time when men first began to call upon the name of the Lord in worship.

 * 2) He made them man and woman, and blessed and called them Mankind in the day they were made.
 * 3) And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years and had a son like himself, after his look, and named him Seth.

Head 6

 * 1) And it came to pass, when men began to become many on the earth, and daughters were born to them.
 * 2) And the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and  they took any they chose as wives for themselves.
 * 3) And God said, "My breath shall not be in man forever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be one hundred and twenty years."
 * 4) These were big men of great strength on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God knew the daughters of men, they bore children; these were the great men of the days of old, men of great name.
 * 5) And God saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were only evil.
 * 6) And God was sorry that He had made man and put him on earth, and in His heart deep was the hurt.
 * 7) Then God said, "I will wipe off the earth man, whom I made, together with the wights, things that creep, and birds and fowls of the sky— for I sorrow for having  made them."
 * 8) But Noah found forgiveness in the eyes of the Lord
 * 9) These are  the lifespans of Noah‘s kin. Noah was an upright man and without sin in his time: he walked in the ways of God.
 * 10) And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
 * 11) And the earth was evil in God's eyes, filled with wrath and bloody deeds
 * 12) And God looking down on the earth, saw that the ways of man had become evil and sinful.
 * 13) And God said to Noah, " I am going to put an end to all folk, for the earth is full of their wrongdoings
 * 14) "Make for yourself an ark with pens, stalls and nests in it, and overlay it with pitch inside and out.
 * 15) And this is the way you are to make it: it is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high.
 * 16) You are to put a window in the ark, 18 inches from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make with a lower, middle and upper floors.
 * 17) And I will send a great floodwater onto the earth to wash away all life. Every wight that has breath of life in it; and everything that is on the earth shall die.
 * 18) But with you I will make a troth; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.
 * 19) And you will take with you into the ark two of every kind of living thing, and keep them free from harm ; they will be in kind, he and she
 * 20) Two of every kind of bird, fowl, wight and every kind of creeping thing which goes on the ground  you will take with you that they may be kept alive.
 * 21) And you will stock every kind of food for yourself and them.
 * 22) And all these things Noah did; as God said, so he did.

Head 7

 * 1) And the Lord said to Noah go into the ark, you and all your household, for you alone, from among all the folk on earth, I have found to be upright in this time.
 * 2) Of  every  clean living thing  you will take, by  sevens, a he and a she, and of those which are not clean, two, the he and his mate;
 * 3) And of every kind of  bird of flight take, by sevens, a he and a she, so that their offspring  may still be living again over the whole of the earth.
 * 4) For after seven days I will send rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights, to put an end  to every living thing which I have made over the whole of the earth
 * 5) And Noah did everything which the Lord said he was to do.
 * 6) And Noah was six hundred years old when the waters came flowing over all the earth.
 * 7) And Noah, with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark for fear of the flooding of the waters.
 * 8) Of clean wights, and of wights which are not clean, and of birds and fowl, and of everything which goes on the earth,
 * 9) Of kind by twos, he and she, they went into the ark with Noah, as God had said.
 * 10) And after the seven days, the waters started flooding over all the earth.
 * 11) In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the springs of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open;
 * 12) And rain came down on the earth for forty days and forty nights.
 * 13) On the same day Noah, with Shem, Ham, and Japheth, his sons, and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark;
 * 14) And with them, every kind of living thing and every kind of thing which goes on the earth, and every kind of bird.
 * 15) They went with Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
 * 16) Every kind of living thing went in, as God had said, and the door of the ark was shut by the Lord.
 * 17) And for forty days the waters were over all the earth; and the waters rose so that the ark was lifted up high above the ground.
 * 18) And the waters rose above everything and the flood deepened on the earth, and the ark was resting on the top of the waters.
 * 19) And the floodwaters rose above everything on the earth; and all the high hills under heaven were underwater.
 * 20) The floodwaters rose more than twenty feet higher, till all fells were underwater.
 * 21) And death came to every living thing on the earth, birds, livestock and wildlife and everything which went on the earth, and every man.
 * 22) Everything on the dry land, in which was the breath of life, came to its end.
 * 23) Every living thing on the whole of the earth, man and woman; wights, tame and wild; all kinds of birds and anything that flies, and all things creeping upon the earth came to its end: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.
 * 24) And the floodwaters were over the earth a hundred and fifty days.

Head 8

 * 1) And God did not forget Noah, and all the living things and the livestock which were with him in the ark: and God sent a wind over the earth, and the floodwaters started to fall.
 * 2) And the springs at the bottom of the seas and the floodgates of heaven were shut, and the rains stopped.
 * 3) And the floodwaters went slowly down from on the earth, and at the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters were all but gone.
 * 4) And on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to settle upon the fells of Ararat.
 * 5) And still the waters went on falling steadily, until on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the fells were seen.
 * 6) Then, at the end of forty days, through the open window of the ark which he had made,
 * 7) Noah sent out a raven, which went to and fro, and here and there, waiting for the flood waters to dry up from the land
 * 8) And then he sent a dove aloft, to see if the waters had gone down from the whole of the earth;
 * 9) But the dove saw no-where dry to roost, and came back to the ark, for the waters were still deep over all the earth; and Noah put out his hand, and took her into the ark.
 * 10) And after waiting another seven days, he sent the dove out again;
 * 11) And the dove came back at evening time, and in her mouth was an olive-leaf broken off: so Noah knew that the waters had gone down.
 * 12) And after seven days more, he sent the dove out again, but this time she did not come back to him.
 * 13) And in the six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up on the earth: and Noah made an opening in the roof of the ark and saw at last that the earth was dry.
 * 14) And on the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.
 * 15) And God said to Noah,
 * 16) Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives.
 * 17) Bring with you every living thing that is with you, birds and livestock and everything which creeps on the earth, and hurries along the ground, so that they may have offspring and be many in number and spread throughout the earth.
 * 18) And Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives;
 * 19) And all wildlife, all livestock, every bird and fowl and every living thing of every kind which creeps on the earth, came out of the ark, one kind after another.
 * 20) And Noah built an altar to the Lord, and he choose clean wights and bird from every kind and offered them as burnt offerings  on the altar.
 * 21) And when the soothing smell came to the Lord, he said in his heart, I will never again put a curse on the earth, for though the thoughts of man are evil even from the time of his youth; never again will I bring death to all living things as I have done.
 * 22) While the earth goes on, seed time and the time of reaping and harvest, cold and hot, summer and winter, day and night, will not come to an end.

Head 9

 * 1) And God gave his blessing to Noah and his sons, and said, have many children, so that they will spread throughout the earth and make it full.
 * 2) And the fear of you will be strong in every wight of the earth and every bird of the sky; everything which creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, will be given into your hands.
 * 3) Every living  thing will be food for you; I give them all to you as before I gave to you all herbs and worts
 * 4) But you must not eat meat that still has blood in it, for blood gives life.
 * 5) And for your life I take a reckoning; from every living thing I will take it, and from every man will I take it, for anyone who takes another man's life, that man's life will be taken.
 * 6) Whoever takes a man's life, by man will his life be taken; because God made man in his likeness.
 * 7) And now, you and your afterbears have many children, so that man will grow in number and live everywhere on earth.
 * 8) And God spoke to Noah and to his sons, saying:
 * 9) I will now make my troth with you and with your offspring after you,
 * 10) And with every living thing that was with you:  the birds, the livestock, the tame and wild life of the earth, all those that came out of the ark with you.
 * 11) And I will make my troth with you; never again will the waters of a flood kill all living things; never again will the waters of a flood lay waste to the earth.
 * 12) And God said, This is the token of the troth which I make between me and you and every living thing around you, and everyone living after you:
 * 13) I will put my rainbow in the sky and it will be for a token of the troth between me and all on the earth.
 * 14) And whenever I bring clouds over the earth, the rainbow will be seen in the sky
 * 15)  And I will keep in mind the troth between me and you and every living thing; and never again will there be a great flood to wipe out all life on earth.
 * 16) And whenever the rainbow will be in the sky, and I see it, I will keep in mind the everlasting troth between God and every living thing on the earth.
 * 17) And God said to Noah, this is the token of the troth which I have made between me and all living things on the earth.
 * 18) And the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.
 * 19) These three were the sons of Noah and from them all men and women sprang.
 * 20) In those days Noah became a tiller of the ground and he planted wineberry
 * 21) And he drank of the wine and was overcome by it; and he became unclothed in his shelter.
 * 22) And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father unclothed, and told his two brothers outside.
 * 23) And Shem and Japheth took clothing and putting it on their backs went in looking the other way and put it over their father so that they might not see him unclothed.
 * 24) And, awaking from his hangover, Noah saw what his youngest son had done to him, and he said,
 * 25) Cursed be Canaan; let him be the lowest bondman of bondmen to his brothers and their kindred.
