13
 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14
 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15
 and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16
 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17
 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18
 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping
for
her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19
 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20
 saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
21
 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22
 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23
 and he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
3:
1
 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2
 and saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3
 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4
 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
5
 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6
 and were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
1
 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2
 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the L
ORD
, and against his anointed,
saying,
3
 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4
 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the L
ORD
shall have them in derision.
5
 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6
 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7
 I will declare the decree: the L
ORD
hath said unto me, Thou
art
my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8
 Ask of me, and I shall give
thee
the heathen
for
thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth
for
thy possession.
9
 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10
 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11
 Serve the L
ORD
with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12
 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish
from
the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed
are
all they that put their trust in him.
7
 The fear of the L
ORD
is
the beginning of knowledge:
but
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8
 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9
 For they
shall be
an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
1
 This
is
the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2
 male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
3
 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat
a son
in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
4
 and the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
5
 and all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
6
 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
7
 and Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:
8
 and all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
9
 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
10
 and Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:
11
 and all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
12
 And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:
13
 and Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:
14
 and all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
15
 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:
16
 and Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
17
 and all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.
18
 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
19
 and Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
20
 and all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
21
 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
22
 and Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23
 and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24
 and Enoch walked with God: and he
was
not; for God took him.
25
 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:
26
 and Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
27
 and all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
28
 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
29
 and he called his name Noah, saying, This
same
shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the L
ORD
hath cursed.
30
 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
31
 and all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
32
 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
6:
1
 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2
 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they
were
fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3
 And the L
ORD
said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also
is
flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4
 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare
children
to them, the same
became
mighty men which
were
of old, men of renown.
5
 And G
OD
saw that the wickedness of man
was
great in the earth, and
that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart
was
only evil continually.
6
 And it repented the L
ORD
that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7
 And the L
ORD
said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8
 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the L
ORD
.
9
 These
are
the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man
and
perfect in his generations,
and
Noah walked with God.
10
 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11
 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12
 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13
 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14
 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15
 And this
is the fashion
which thou shalt make it
of
: The length of the ark
shall be
three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16
 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof;
with
lower, second, and third
stories
shalt thou make it.
17
 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein
is
the breath of life, from under heaven;
and
every thing that
is
in the earth shall die.
18
 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19
 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every
sort
shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep
them
alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20
 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every
sort
shall come unto thee, to keep
them
alive.
21
 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather
it
to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22
 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
7:
1
 And the L
ORD
said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2
 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that
are
not clean by two, the male and his female.
3
 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4
 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5
 And Noah did according unto all that the L
ORD
commanded him.
6
 And Noah
was
six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7
 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8
 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that
are
not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9
 there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10
 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11
 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12
 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13
 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14
 they, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
15
 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein
is
the breath of life.
16
 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the L
ORD
shut him in.
17
 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
18
 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19
 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that
were
under the whole heaven, were covered.
20
 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21
 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22
 all in whose nostrils
was
the breath of life, of all that
was
in the dry
land,
died.
23
 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained
alive,
and they that
were
with him in the ark.
24
 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
