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 ghost 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 bring forth teemingly the wight that shifteth and hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open growth of heaven."
 * 21) And God made great whales, and every living wight that shifteth, 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 greensward 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 greensward 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 greensward, to till and look after it.
 * 16) And God gave man a behest, saying, "Of all the trees in the greensward 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.
