<​Genesis 1st Chapter​>

A Revelation, given to Joseph the Seer, June, 1830.

<​1/​> The words of God which he spake unto Moses, at a time when Moses was caught up into an exceeding high mountain, & he saw <​1​> God face to face, & he taked with him, & the glory of God was upon Moses <​him​>; therefore Moses <​he​> could endure his presence, <​/​> & God spake unto Moses, <​2nd/​> saying, Behold I I am God the Lord God Amighty, & endless is my name for I am without begining of days or end of years; & is this not endless. <​3/​> & Behold thou art my Son, Wherefore, look, & I will shew thee the workmanship of mine hands, but not all; for my works are without end, & also my words, for they never cease; wherefore, no man can Behold all my works except he behold all my Glory; & no man can behold all my glory, & afterwards remain in the flesh <​on the earth​>. <​/​> & I have a <​4/​> work for thee, Moses, my Son; & thou art in the similitude of <​to​> mine only begotten; & mine only begotten is & shall be <​the Savior​>, for he is full of grace & truth; but there is none other God beside me; & all things are present with me, for I know them all. <​/​> & now Behold <​5/​> this one thing I shew unto thee, Moses, my Son; for thou art in the World, & now I shew it thee. <​/​> And it came to pass, that <​6/​> Moses looked, & beheld the world upon which he was Created, & as Moses beheld the World & the ends thereof & all the Children of men which was <​are​> & which was <​were​> created, of the same he greatly marveled & wondered, & the presence of God withdrew from Moses, that his glory was not upon him Moses <​him​> & Moses was left unto himself & as he was left unto himself he fell unto the Earth. <​/​> And it came to pass <​7/​> that it was for the space of many hours before Moses <​he​> did again Receive his naturall strength like unto man & he saith <​said​> unto himself Now for this once I know that man is nothing which thing I never had supposed But now mine eyes mine own eyes <​have beheld God​> but not mine <​natural​> eyes <​but my spiritual​>, for mine <​natural​> eyes could not have beheld for I should have withered & died in his presence But his glory was upon me & I beheld his face for I was transfigered before him. <​/​> & <​And​> now it came <​to pass​> <​8/​> that when Moses had said these words B[e]hold satan came tempting him Saying Moses my Son of man worship me And it came to pass that <​but​> Moses <​lifted up his eyes and​> looked upon Moses Satan & saith <​said​> Who art thou for Behold I am a Son of God in the similitude of his only begotten & where is thy glory that I should worship thee for behold I could not look upon God except his glory should come upon me & I were <​was​> transfigered before him but I can look upon thee in the natural man! is if not is shurely blessed is <​be​> the name of my God [p. 1] For his spirit hath not altogether withdrawn from me. <​/​> or else <​I say​> where <​9/​> is thy glory for it is blackness unto me & I can Judge between thee & God for God said unto me, Worship God for him only shalt thou serve Get thee hence, Satan, deceive me not, for God said unto me Thou art after the similitude of mine only begotten. <​/​> & he <​10/​> also gave unto me commandment, when he called unto me out of the burning bush, Saying, call upon God, in the name of mine only begotten, & worship God <​me​>. <​/​> And again, Moses saith <​said,​> I <​11/​> will not cease to call upon God, I have other things to enquire of him for his glory has been upon me & it is glory unto me wherefore I can Judge betwixt <​between​> him & thee. Depart hence, Satan. <​/​> <​12/​> And now when Moses had said these words Satan cried with a loud voice & wrent upon the Earth, & commanded, saying, I am the only begotten, worship me. And it came to pass that Moses began to fear exceedingly, & as he began to fear, he saw the bitterness of Hell, Nevertheless, calling upon God he received strength & he commanded Saying, Depart hence, Satan, for this one God only will I worship, which is thee God of glory. <​/​> And now Satan <​13/​> began to tremble, & the Earth shook, & Moses received strength <​&​> called upon God saying in the name of Jesus Christ <​his Son of God saying to Satan​> depart hence. <​/​> Satan & it came to pass that Satan cried with a loud <​14/​> voice with weeping & wailing & gnashing of teeth, & departed hence <​yea​> from the presence of Moses that he beheld him not. <​/​> And <​15/​> now of this thing Moses bore record but because of wickedness it is not had among the Children of men. <​/​> And it came to pass <​16/​> that when Satan had departed from the presence of Moses he <​that Moses​> lifted up his eyes unto Heaven being filled with the Holy Ghost which beareth record of the Father & the son; & calling upon the name of God, he <​beheld​> again beheld his glory, for it was <​rested​> upon him & he heard a voice, saying, Blessed art thou Moses, for I, the almighty have chosen thee, And thou shalt be made stronger then the many Waters, for they shall obey thy command even as if thou wert God <​my commandments​>. <​/​> And lo I am with thee even unto the end of thy days <​17/​> for thou shalt deliver my people from bondage, even Israel my chosen. <​/​> And it came to pass, as the voice was still speaking, he <​18/​> cast his eyes & beheld the Earth yea even all all the face of it & there was not a particle of it which he did not behold, decerning it by the spirit of God. & he beheld also the Inhabitants thereof & there was not a soul which he beheld not, & he decerned them [p. 2] by the spirit of God, & their numbers were great, even as numberless as the sand upon the Sea shore. & he beheld many lands & each land was called Earth, & there were inhabitants on this <​the​> face thereof. <​/​> And it came to pass that Moses called upon God saying tell <​shew​> <​19/​> me I pray thee why these things are so & by what <​whom​> thou madest them & Behold, the glory of God was upon Moses so that moses stood in the presence of God & he talked with him face to face. <​/​> & the <​21 <​20​>/​> Lord God said unto Moses, For mine own purpose have I made these things, here is wisdom, & it remaineth in me, And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine only begotten Son, which is who is full of grace & truth. & <​And​> worlds with<​out​> number have I created, & I also created them for mine own purpose, & by the same I created them, which is mine only begotten, & <​And​> the first man of all men have I called Adam, which is many, but only an account of this Earth, & the inhabitants thereof give I unto you. For Behold, there are many Worlds which have passed away by the word of my power, & there are many also which now stand, & numberless are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me. For they are mine & I know them. <​/​> And it came to pass that Moses spake unto the Lord <​22 <​21​>/​> saying, Be mercifull unto thy servent, O God, & tell me concerning this Earth & the inhabitants thereof & also the Heavens & then thy Servent will be content. <​/​> And the Lord God said <​spake​> unto <​23 <​22​>/​> Moses Saying <​of​> the Heavens <​saying​> there <​these​> are many, & they cannot be numbered unto man but they are numbered unto me for they are mine & as one Earth shall pass away & the Heavens thereof even so shall another come And there is no end to my works neither my words for Behold this is my work to <​and​> my glory to the <​bring to pass the​> immortality & eternal life of man. <​24/​> And now, Moses, my Son, I will speak unto <​24 <​23​>/​> you concerning this Earth upon which thou <​you​> standest, & thou <​you​> shalt <​shall​> write the things which I shalt <​shall​> speak. <​25/​> And in a day when <​25 <​24​>/​> the children of men shall esteem my words as naught, & take away many of them from the Book which thou <​you​> shalt <​shall​> write, Behold, I will raise up another like unto thee <​you,​> & they shall be had again among the Children of men, Among even as many as shall believe. <​25/​> These words words were spoken unto Moses in the Mo<​25/​>unt, the name of which shall not be known among the Children of men. & now they are also spoken unto you shew them not unto any except them that believe <​until I command you​> amen [p. 3]

<​1st/​> And it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, I reveal unto you concerning this Heaven & this Earth; write the words which I speak, I am the begining & the end, the Almighty God. By mine only begotten I created these things. yea, in the begining I created the Heaven, & the Earth upon which thou standest. & the Earth was without form, & void. & <​And​> I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the deep. & my spirit mooved upon the face of the water; for I am God. <​/​> & I, God, said, Let there be light, & there was <​2/​> light. & I, God, saw the light, & that light was Good. & I, God, divided the light from the darkness. & I, God, called the light day, & the darkness I called night. & this I done <​did​> by the word of my power. & it was done as I spake. & the evening & the morning were the first day. <​/​> And again, I, God, said, Let there be a firmament in the midst <​3/​> of the water; & it was so, even as I spake. And I said, Let it divide the waters from the waters; & it was so done. & I, God, made the firmament, & divided the waters; yea the great waters, under the firmament, from the waters which were above the firmament; & it was so, even as I spake. & I, God, called the firmament Heaven. & the evening & the morning were the Second day. <​/​> And I, <​4/​> God, said, Let the waters under the Heaven be gethered together unto one place; & it was so. & I, God, said, Let there be dry Land, & it was so. & I, God, called the dry land Earth; & the gethering together of the waters called I the Sea<​s​>. & <​And​> I, God, saw that all things that I had made were good. & <​And​> I, God, said, Let the Earth bring forth grass; the herb yielding seed; the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind; & the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself, upon the Earth; & it was se, even as I spake. & the Earth brought forth grass; evry herb yielding seed after his kind; & the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself, after his kind. And I, God, saw that all things that <​which​> I had made were good. & the evening & the morning were the third day. <​/​> & I, God, said, Let <​there​> be lights <​5/​> in the firmaments of the Heaven, to divide the day from the night; & let them be for signs, & for seasons, & for days & for years; & let them be for lights in the firmaments of the Heaven, to give light upon the Earth; & it was so. & I, God, made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, & the leser light to rule the night; & the greater light was the sun, & the leser light was the moon. [p. 4] & nd the stars also was <​were​> made, even according to my word; & I, God, set them in the firmament of the Heaven, to give light upon the Earth. & the Sun to rule over the day, & the Moon to rule over the night, & to divide the right <​light​> from the darkness. & I God saw that all things which I had made were good. & the evening & the morning were the fourth day. <​/​> & I, God, said, Let the waters bring <​6/​> forth abundantly, the moveing creature that hath life, & fowl which may fly above the Earth, in the open firmament of Heaven. & I, God, created great whales; & evry living creature that moveth, which the water<​s​> brought forth abundantly, after their kind; & every winged fowl, after his kind; & I, God, saw that all things which I had created were good; & I, God, blessed them, saying, be fruitfull, & multiply, & fill the waters in the Seas, & let fowl multiply in the Earth; & the evening & the morning were the fifth day. <​/​> & I, God, said, Let the Earth bring forth the living <​7/​> creature, after his kind; cattle, & creeping things, <​& beasts of the Earth,​> after his <​their​> kinds; & it was so. & I, God, made the beasts of the Earth, after his <​th[e]ir​> kind; & cattle after their kind; & evry thing which creepeth upon the Earth after his kind. & I, God, saw that all these things were good. <​/​> & I, <​8/​> God, said, unto mine Only Begotten, which was with me from the begining, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; & it was so. & I, God, said Let them have dominion over the fishes of the Sea, & over the fowl of the Air, & over the Cattle, & over all the Earth, & over evry creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth. & I, God, created man in mine own image; in the image of mine Only Begotten created I him; male & female created I them. <​/​> & I, God, blessed them <​9/​> & I God said unto them, Be fruitful, & multiply, & replenish the Earth, & subdue it; & have dominion over it <​the​> fish of the Sea, & over the fowl of the Air, & over evry living thing that moveth upon the Earth. & I, God, said unto man, Behold I have <​given​> you evry herb bearing Seed, which is upon the face of all the Earth; & evry tree in thee which shall be the fruit of a tree, yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. & to evry beast of the Earth, & to evry fowl of the Air, & to evry thing that creapeth upon the Earth, wherein I grant life, there shall be given evry clean herb for meat; & it was so, even as I spake. & I, God, saw evry thing that I had made, & Behold all things which I had made were very good [p. 5] And the evening & the morning were the sixth day. <​/​>

<​1/​> Thus the Heavens & the Earth were finished, & all the host of them. & on the Seventh day I God ended my work & all things which I had made & I rested on the Seventh day from all my work & all things which I had made were finished. & <​And​> I <​God​> saw that they were good. & <​And​> I, God, blessed the seventh day, & Sanctified it, because that in it I had rested from all my work which I <​God​> had created & made. <​/​> And now Behold I say <​2/​> unto you that these are the generations of the Heaven & of the Earth when they were created in the day that I the Lord God made the Heaven & the Earth & evry plant of the field before it was in the Earth & evry herb of the field before it grew, for I the lord God Created all things of which I have spoken Spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the Earth, For I the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the face of the Earth. & I the Lord God had created all the Children of men & not yet a man to till the ground, for in Heaven created I them. And there was not yet flesh on upon the Earth neither in the water neither in the air but I the Lord God Spake & there went up a mist from the Earth & watered the whole face of the ground & I the Lord God formed, man from the dust of the ground & breathed into his noistrils the breath of life, & man became a living soul <​/​> the first flesh <​3/​> upon the Earth the first man also. <​/​> nevertheless all things were <​3/​> before created, but Spiritually were they created & made according to my word, & I the Lord God planted a Garden eastward in Eden & there I put the man whom I had fas formed. <​/​> <​4/​> And out of the ground made I the Lord God to grow every tree naturally that is pleasent to the sight of man & man could behold it & they <​it​> became also <​a​> living soul for it was spiritual in the day that I created it for it remaineth in the sphere <​in​> which I <​God​> created it in yea, even all things which I prepared for the use of man & man saw that it was good for food. <​/​> & I the Lord God placed <​planted​> the tree of life also in the midst <​5/​> of the garden & also the tree of knowledge of good & evil & <​I the Lord God caused​> a river went <​to go​> out of Eden to water the garden & from thence it was parted in <​&​> became in<​to​> four heads. <​/​> & I the Lord God <​6/​> called the name of the first Pison & it compasseth the whole land of Havillah where there were <​I the Lord​> created much gold & the [p. 6] Gold of that land was good & there was bdellium & the Onyx stone And the name of the Second River was called Ghihon the same was it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiophia And the name of the third River was Hiddekel that was it which goeth towards the East of Assyrria And the forth River was Euphrates. <​/​> & <​And​> I the Lord God took the man & put him into the <​7/​> Garden of Eden to dress it & to keep it & I the Lord God commanded the man saying, Of evry tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good & evil thou shalt not eat of it, nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee. But remember, that I forbid it, for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt shurely die. <​/​> And I the Lord God said unto mine only Begotten that <​8/​> it was not good that <​the​> man should be alone Wherefore I will make an help meet for him. <​/​> & out of the ground I the Lord God formed <​9/​> evry beast of the field & evry fowl of the air & commanded that they should be brought <​come​> unto Adam to see what he would call them & they were also living souls & it was <​for I, God,​> breathed into them the breath of life & <​commanded that​> whatsoever Adam called evry living creature that was <​should​> <​be​> the name thereof. <​/​> & Adam gave names to all cattle & to the fowl <​10/​> of the air & to evry beast of the field but <​as​> for Adam there was not found a<​n​> help meet for him. <​/​> & I, the Lord God, caus<​10 <​11​>/​>ed a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, & he slept, & I took one of his ribs & closed up the flesh in the stead thereof, & the rib which I, the Lord God had taken from man, made I a woman, & brought her unto the man. <​/​> & Adam said, This I know now is bone of <​11 <​12​>/​> my bones & flesh of my flesh, she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. <​/​> Therefore shall a man leave his father & <​13/​> mother & shall cleave unto his wife & they shall be one flesh. <​1/​> & they were both naked, the man & his wife, & were not ashamed. <​/​> And I the Lord God spake unto Moses saying, That Satan <​1/​> whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine only begotten is the same which was from the begining, & he came before me saying, Behold I, send me, I will be thy Son, & I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost; & shurely, I will do it; <​/​> Wherefore, give me thine honour. <​/​> But, behold; my beloved <​2/​> Son, which was my beloved <​& chosen​> from the begining, saith <​said​> unto me; Father, thy will be done, & the glory be thine forever. <​/​> Wherefore, <​3/​> because that satan rebelled against me, & sought to destroy the [p. 7] Agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him; & also that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine only begotten, I caused that he should be cast down, & he became Satan; yea, even the Devil, the father of all lies, to deceive, & to blind men, & to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice. <​/​> & now <​4/​> the Serpent was more subtle then any beast of the field which I the Lord God had made & Satan put it into the heart of the serpent for he had drew away many after him; & he sought also to beguile Eve, for he knew not the mind of God; Wherefore, he sought to destroy the world, yea & he said unto the woman, yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of evry tree of the garden. & he spake by the mouth of the Serpent <​*​> but, <​of the fruit​> of the tree which thou beholdest in the midst of the garden. God has <​hath​> said ye shall not eat of it neither shall ye touch it lest ye die <​And the serpent said unto the woman ye shall not surely die​> for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof then your eyes shall be opened & ye shall be as Gods knowing good & evil. <​/​> & when the woman <​5/​> saw that the tree was good for food, & that it became pleasant to the eyes, & a tree to be desired to make her wise, she took of the fruit thereof, & did eat; & gave also unto her husband with her, & he did eat; & the eyes of them both were opened, & they knew that they had been naked; & they sewed figg leaves together & made themselves aprons. <​/​> & they heard the voice of the <​6/​> Lord God, <​as he was <​as they were​>​> walking in the garden in the cool of the day & Adam & his wife hid <​went to hide​> themselves from the presence of I the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden & I the Lord God called unto Adam & said unto him Where goest thou & he said I heard thy voice in the garden & I was afraid because <​I beheld that​> I was naked & I hid myself. <​/​> & I the Lord God said unto Adam who told <​7/​> thee that thou wast naked hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat if so thou should<​est​> shurely die & Adam <​the man​> said, the woman whom thou gavest me & saidest <​unto her​> remain with thee she gave me of the tree & I <​8/​> did eat. <​/​> & I, the Lord God, said unto the woman, what is <​8/​> this thing which thou hast done. & the woman said, the Serpent beguiled me, & I did eat. <​/​> & <​I​> the <​I​> Lord God said unto the <​9/​> serpent, because thou hast done this, thou shalt be cursed above all cattle, & above evry beast of the field; upon thy [p. 8]

*And the woman said unto the Serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden

A Revelation concerning Adam after he had been driven out of the garden of Eden

<​1/​> For <​And it came to pass that​> after that <​I, the Lord God,​> he was <​had been​> driven <​them​> out he <​that​> <​Adam​> began to till the Earth; & to have dominion over all the beasts of the field, & to eat his bread, by the sweat of the brow as <​I​> the lord had commanded him; & Eve also, his wife [p. 9]

*Unto Adam also, and hi <​to​> his wife, did <​I​> the I Lord God, make coats of Skin and chloathed them

<​1​> And Adam & Eve blessed the name of God; & they made all things known unto their sons & their daughters. & satan came also among them saying I am also a Son of God; & he commanded them, saying, believe it not, & they believed it not; & loved Satan more then God. & men began from that time forth, to be carnal, sensual & devlish. <​/​> & the Lord God, called [p. 10] <​2/​> upon men, by the Holy Ghost, evry where, & commanded them, that they should repent, & as many as believed in the Son, & repented <​of their sins should be saved; & as many as believed not, & repented​> not, should be damned, & the words went forth out of the mouth of God, in a firm decree. <​/​> Wherefore, they must be ful<​3/​>filled. <​/​> & Adam ceased not to call upon God, & Eve also his <​3/​> wife. & Adam knew Eve, his wife, & she conceived & bear Cain, & said, I have gotten of <​a​> man from the Lord; Wherefore, he may not reject his words; but, behold, also Cain hearkened not, Saying, who is the Lord, that I should know him. <​/​> & she <​4/​> again conceived, & bear his brother, Abel. & Abel hearkened unto the voice of the Lord. & Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. <​/​> & he <​Cain​> loved Satan more than God. <​5/​> & Satan commanded him, Saying, make an offering unto the Lord. And in process of time it came to pass that cain brought of the fruit of the ground, an offering of <​unto​> the Lord. & Abel he also brought of the firstlings of his flock & of the fat thereof; & the Lord had respect unto Abel, & unto his offering, but unto Cain, & to his offering, he had not respect. <​/​> now satan knew this, & it pleased him, & Cain <​6/​> was very wroth & his countenance fell. & the Lord said unto Cain, why art thou wroth? why is thy countienance fallen? if thou doest well thou shalt be accepted, & if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door, & Satan desireth to have thee, & except thou shalt hearken unto my commandments, I will deliver thee up; & it shall be unto thee according to his desire; & thou shalt rule over him for, from this time forth thou shalt be the father of his lies, thou shalt be called perdition, for thou wast also before the world, & it shall be said, in time to come, that these abominations were had from Cain; for he rejected the greater Council which was had from God. & this is a cursing which I will put upon thee, except thou repent. <​/​> & Cain was <​7/​> wroth, & listened not any more to the voice of the Lord, neither to Abel his Brother, who walked in Holiness before the Lord, & Adam also & his wife mourned before the Lord, bcause of cain & his brethren. <​/​> & it came <​8/​> to pass that cain took one of his brothers daughters to wife, & they loved Satan more than God. & Satan saith swear unto cain, swear unto me by thy throat; & if thou tell it thou shalt die; & swear thy brethren by their heads, & by the living God, that they tell it not, for, if they tell it not for if they tell it, they shall shurely die; & this that thy father may not know it; & this day I will deliver thy brother Abel, into thine hands, & Satan swear unto cain, that he would do [p. 11] according to his commands, & all these things were done in secret. <​/​> <​9/​> & cain saith, truly I am Mahan, the Master of this great seecret that I may murder & get gain; Wherefore Cain was called master Mahan. & he gloried in his wickedness. & cain went into the field & cain talked with Abel, his brother, & it came to pass that while they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, & Slew him. & cain gloried in that which he had done, saying, I am free; shurely the flocks of my brother falleth into my hands. <​/​> And the Lord said unto cain, where is Abel, thy brother, & <​10/​> <​he said I​> know not, am I my brothers keeper? & he said, what hast thou done? the voice of thy brothers blood cries unto me from the ground, & now thou shalt be cursed from the Earth, which hath opened her mouth, to receive thy brothers blood, from thy hand. when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive, & a vagabond, shalt thou be in the Earth. <​/​> & cain said unto the Lord, Satan tempted me, <​11/​> because of my brothers flocks; & I was wroth also, for his offering thou didst accept <​exept​> <​accept,​> & not mine. my punishment is greater than I can bear! Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the Earth <​Lord​> & from thy face shall I be hid, & I shall be a fugitive, & a vagabond, in the Earth; & it shall come to pass, & evry one <​that he​> that findeth me will slay me, because of mine oath <​iniquities,​> for these things are not hid from the Lord. <​/​> & <​I​> the <​12/​> Lord Said unto him Therefore whosoever slayeth cain <​thee​> vengence shall be taken <​on him​> seven fold. & <​I​> the Lord set a mark upon Cain lest any finding him should kill him. <​/​> & <​&​> Cain went <​was shut​> out from <​of​> <​from​> <​from​> the <​13/​> presence of the Lord & his wife & many of his brethren & dwelt in the name <​land​> of the Lord Nod, on the east of Eden & Cain knew his wife, & she conceived & bear Enoch & he also begat many Sons & daughters & he builded a City & he called the name of the City after the name of his Son Enoch. <​/​> & unto <​13 <​14​>/​> Enoch was born Irad & other Sons & daughters & Irad begat Mahujael & other Sons & daughters & Mahujael begat Mathusael, & other Sons & daughters. & Mathusael begat Lamech & Lamech took unto himself two wives, the name of the one being Adah & the name of the other Zillah. <​/​> And Adah <​15/​> bear Jabal; he was the father of such as dwell in tents, & they were keepers of Cattle; & his Brothers name <​was​> Jubal who was the father of all such as handel the Harp & Organ. <​/​> [p. 12] <​16/​> And Gillah <​Zillah​>, she also bear Tubal Cain; an artificer instructor of evry artificeer in Brass, & Iron, & the Sister of Tubal Cain was called Naamah. <​/​> & Lamech said unto his wives, Adah & Zillah <​17/​> hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech; hearken unto my speach for I have slain a man to my wounding, & a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be avenged seven fold, truly Lamech shall be seventy & seven fold. For, Lamech having entered into a covenant with Satan, after the manner of Cain wherein he became Master Mahan, Master of that great secret which was administered unto Cain, by Satan, & Irad, the Son of Enoch, having known their secret began to reveal it unto the sons of Adam; wherefore, Lamech being angery, slew him not like unto Cain, his brother Abel, for the sake of getting gain, but he slew him for the oaths sake; for, from the days of Cain, there was a Secret combination & their works were in the dark, & they knew evry man his brother. <​/​> <​18/​> Wherefore the Lord cursed Lamech & his house & all they that had covenanted with Satan for they kept not the commandm ents of God & <​And​> it displeased God & he ministered not unto them & their works were abominations & began to spread among all the Sons of men And it was among the Sons of men, And among the daughters of men these things were not spoken, Because that Lamech had spoken the Secret unto his wives & they Rebelled against him & declared these things abroad & had not compassion. <​/​>

[2 lines blank]

<​19/​> Wherefore Lamech was dispised, & cast out & came not among the Sons of men lest he should die & thus the works of darkness began to prevail among all the Sons of men & God cursed the Earth with the a sore curse & was angery with the wicked with all the sons of men whom he had made For they would not hearken unto his voice nor believe on his only begotten Son even him which <​whom​> he declared should come in the maridian of time. <​/​> which <​who​> was prepared from before the foundation of the <​20/​> World. <​/​> & thus the Gospel began to be Preached from the begining being declared by Holy Angels sent forth from the presence of God & by his own voice, & by the gift of the Holy Ghost. [p. 13] And thus all things were confirmed <​unto Adam by an holy ordinance​> & the Gospel Preached & a decree sent forth that it should be in the World untill the end thereof & thus it was amen.

the genealogy from Adam to Enoch & plan of salvation &c

<​1​> And Adam hearkened unto the voice of God, & called uupon his Sons to repent. <​/​> And Adam knew his wife again, & she <​2/​> bear a Son, & he called his name Seth. & And Adam glorified the name of God, for he said, God hath appointed me another seed in stead of Abel whom Cain slew. & Aand God revealed himself unto Seth, & he rebelled not, But offered an acceptable sacrifice like unto his brother Abel. & to him also was born a Son, & he called his name Eanos. <​/​> And then began these <​3/​> men to call upon the name of the Lord; And the Lord blessed them; And a Book of rememberance was kept, in the which was recorded in the language of Adam. For it was given unto as many as called upon God, to write with <​by​> the finger <​spirit​> of insparation; And by them their children were taught to read & write, Having a language which was pure & undefiled. <​/​> <​4 <​1​>/​> Now this <​same which presthood which​> was in the begining, which shall be in the <​continue​> end of the world <​als​>. <​/​> Now this prophecy Adam spake, as he was <​5<​2​>/​> moved upon by the Holy Ghost. And a genealogy was kept of the Children of God And this was the Book of the generation of Adam, Saying, In the day that God created man (in the likeness of God created he him) in the image of his own body. Male & female created he them & blessed them & called their names Adam, in the day when they were created, & became living souls, in the land, upon the footstool of God. <​/​> And Adam lived <​3/​> one Hundred & thirty years, & begat a son, in his own likeness after his own imge <​image​>, & called his name seth. & the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth, were Eight hundred years. & he begat many Sons & daughters. & all the days that Adam lived were Nine hundred & thirty years; & he died. <​/​> Seth lived one <​4/​> hundred & five years, & begat Eanos; & prophecied in all his days, & taught (his son) Eanos in the ways of God. Wherefore Eanos prophecied also. & Seth lived, after he begat Eanos, eight hundred & seven years & begat many sons & daughters. <​/​> And the [p. 14] <​5​> Children of men were numerous upon all the face of the land, And in these days, Satan had great dominion among men, & raged in their hearts. And from thence forth came wars & blood sheds. And a mans hand was against his own brother in administering death, because of secret works seeking for power, & all the days of seth were nine hundred & twelve years & he died. <​/​> <​and Enos lived ninety years and begat Cainan​> & Eanos & the residue of the people of God, came out <​6/​> from the land which was called shulon, & dwelt in a land of Promise, which he called after his own Son, whom he had named Canaan <​Cainan​>. And Eanos lived, after he begat Canaan <​Cainan​> eight hundred & fifteen years, & begat many Sons & daughters. & all the day of Eanos were nine hundred & five years; & he died. <​/​> & thus it was <​7/​> Canaan <​Cainan​> lived seventy years, & begat Mahalaleel, & Canaan <​Cainan​> live after he begat Mahalaleel, eight hundred & forty years; & begat Sons & daughters. And all the days of Canaan <​Cainan​> were nine hundred & ten <​years​> & he died. <​/​> And Mahalaleel lived, sixty five years, & begat Jare <​8/​> Jared, & Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred & thirty years, & begat sons & daughters. & all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred & ninety five years; & he died. <​/​> And Jared lived one <​9/​> hundred <​&​> Sixty two years, & begat Enoch. & Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years & begat sons & daughters. & Jared taught Enoch in all the ways of God. & this is the genealogy of the sons of God <​Adam​> Which <​Who​> was the son of Adam <​God​> with whom God himself conversed. <​/​> And they were preachers of righteousness & <​10/​> spake, & prophecied, & called upon all men evry where to repent And faith was taught unto the children of men. And it came to pass that all the days of Jared, were nine hundred sixty <​&​> two years. & he died. <​/​> & Enoch lived Sixty & five years, & begat Mathusalah & it <​11/​> came to pass, that Enoch Journied in the land, among the people; & as he Journied, the spirit of God decended out of Heaven, & abode upon him; And he heard a voice from Heaven, saying, Enoch my Son, prophecy unto this people, & say unto them, repent, for thus saith the Lord, I am angery with this people, & my firce anger is kindeled against them; For their hearts have waxen <​waxed​> hard, & their ears are dull of hearing, & their eyes cannot see <​a​>far off; And for these many years generations, even since the day that I created them, have they gone astray, & have denied me, & have sought their own councils in the dark, And in their own abominations have they devised murder, & have not kept [p. 15] the commandments which I gave unto their father, Adam, Wherefore, they have foresworn themselves, & by their oaths, they have eat unto <​brought upon​> themselves death. And an Hell I have prepared for them, if they repent not; & this is a decree, which I have sent forth in the begining of the World, from mine own mouth, from the foundation thereof; & by the mouths of my Servents, thy Fathers, have I decreed it; even as it shall be sent forth into the world, unto the end thereof. <​/​> And when <​12/​> Enoch had heard these words, he bowed himself to the Earth, before the Lord; And spake before the Lord, Saying; why is it that I have found favour in thy Sight, And am but a a lad, & all the people hate me, for I am slow of speech: Wherefore am I thy Servent And the Lord said unto Enoch, go forth, & do as I have commanded thee, & no man shall pierce thee. Open thy mouth, & it shall be filled, & I will give <​thee​> utterance; for all flesh is in my hands, & I will a do as seemeth me good. Say unto this people, choose you <​ye​> this day a <​to serve the Lord​> God who made you. Behold, my spirit is upon you. Wherefore, all thy words will I Justify. And the Mountains shall flee before you, & the Rivers shall turn from their course; & thou shalt abide in me, & I in you; Therefore walk in with me. <​/​> And the Lord spake unto Enoch, & said unto <​13/​> him, anoint thine eyes with Clay, & wash them, & thou shalt see; & he did so. he And he beheld the spirits that God had created, & he beheld also things which were not visable to the natural eye, & from thencforth, came the saying abroad in the land, a seer, hath the Lord raised up unto his people. <​/​> And it came to pass, that Enoch went forth in the <​14/​> land, among the people, standing upon the hills, & the high places, & cried with a loud voice, testifying against their work, & all men were offended Because of him, & they came forth to hear him, upon the high places, saying unto the Tent keepers, tarry thou <​ye​> here, & keep the Tents, while we go yonder to Behold the Seer, for he prophesieth; & there is a strange thing in the land; a wild man is <​hath​> come among us. & it came to pass, when they heard him, no man laid <​their​> hands on him, for fear came on all them that heard him, for he walked walked with God. <​/​> & there came a man unto him whose <​15/​> name was Mahijah, & said unto him, tell us plainly, [p. 16] Who thou art, & from wence thou came? & he saith unto him <​them,​> I came out from the Land of Canaan, the land of my fathers, a land of righteousness unto this day; & my father taught me in all the ways of God. And it came to pass, as I Journied from the land of Canaan, by the Sea East, I beheld a vision; & lo, the Heavens, I saw. And the Lord spake unto <​with​> me, & gave me commandment; Wherefore, for this cause, to keep the commandment, I spake <​speak​> forth these words. <​/​> & Enoch continued his speech, saying, The Lord which <​16/​> spake with me, the same is the God of Heaven, & he is my God, & your God, & ye are my Brethren; And why council ye yourselves, & deny the God of Heaven. The Heavens that he made; the Earth is his footstool, & the foundation there of is his. Behold, he laid it, & hosts of men hath he broughht in upon the face thereof. & death hath come upon our Fathers; nevertheless, we know them, & cannot deny, And even the first of all men we know, even Adam; for a Book of rememberance we have written among us, according to the pattern given by the finger of God; & it is given in our own language. <​/​> And as Enoch spake forth the words of God, <​17/​> the people trembeled, & could not stand before <​in​> his presence. And he saith <​said​> unto them, because that Adam fell we are, & by his fall came death, & we are made partakers of misery & wo. <​/​> Behold, satan hath come among the Children of <​18/​> men, And tempteth them to worship him And men have become carnal, sensual & Devlish, & are shut out from the presence of God. <​but God​> hath made known unto our Fathers, that all men must repent. <​/​> And he called upon our <​19/​> father Adam, by his own voice; Saying, I am God; I made the world, & men before they were <​in the flesh.​> & he also said unto him If thou wilt turn unto me, & hearken unto my voice & believe, & repent of all thy transgressions, & be baptized, even by <​in​> water, in the name of mine only begotten Son, which <​who​> is full of grace & truth; which <​who​> is Jesus Christ; the only name which shall be given under Heaven, whereby salvation shall come unto the children of men, & ye shall <​receive the gift of the holy Ghost​> ask<​ing​> all things in his name, & whatsoever ye shall ask it shall be given <​you​>. <​/​> And our father Adam said <​spake​> unto the <​20/​> Lord & said why is it that men must repent & be baptized [p. 17] by <​in​> water And the Lord said unto Adam Behold I have forgiven thee thy transgression in the garden of Eden Hence came the saying abroad among the people that Christ <​the son of God​> hath atoned for original guilt. Wherein the sins of the parents cannot be answered upon the heads of the Children, for they are whole from the foundation of the world. <​/​> And the <​21/​> Lord spake unto Adam, Saying, inasmuch as thy children are conceived in sin, even so, when they begin to grow up. Sin conceiveth in their hearts, & they taste the bitter, that they may know to prize the good. & it is given unto them to know good from evil; Wherefore, they are agents unto <​unto​> themselves. <​/​> And I have given unto you another law <​22/​> & <​&​> commandment; Wherefore, teach it unto your Children, that all men evry where, must repent, or they can in no wise inheret the kingdom of God. For no unclean thing can dwell there or dwell in his presence; for, in the language of Adam, Man of Holiness is his name; & the name of his only begotten, is the son of <​a​> man even Jesus Christ a righteous Judge which <​who​> shall come <​in the meridean of time​>. <​/​> <​Therefore​> I give unto <​23/​> you a commandment to teach these things freely unto your Children Saying that in as much as they were born into the World by <​reason of​> the fall which bringeth death by water & blood & the Spirit which I have made & so became of dust a living soul even so ye must be born again of water & the spirit & cleansed by blood even the blood of mine only begotten into the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven that ye <​they​> <​ye​> may be sanctified from all Sin; & enjoy the words of eternal life in this world; & eternal life in the world to come; even immortal glory. <​/​> for, by the <​24​> water ye keep the commandment; by the spirit ye are Justified & by the blood ye are Sanctified. <​/​> that <​Therefore​> in you <​it​> is given <​to abide in you​> the record of Heaven, the comforter, the peacible things of immortal glory <​keys of the kingdom of heaven​> the truth of all things that which quickeneth all things, which maketh alive all things, that which knoweth all things, & hath all power, according <​to​> wisdom, mercy, truth, Justice, & Judgement. <​/​> & now, <​25/​> Behold, I say unto you, this is the plan of salvation unto all men, <​through​> the blood of mine only begotten, which shall come in the maridian of time. <​/​> And, Behold, all [p. 18] <​23/​> Therefore, I give unto you a commandment, to teach these things unto freely unto your children, saying, that by reason of the trangression cometh the fall, which fall bringeth death, And in as much as they were born into the world by watter, and blood, and the spirit which I have made, and so became of death <​dust​> a living soul; even so ye <​they​> <​ye​> must be born again, into the kingdom of heaven, of watter, and of the spirit, and be cleansed by the blood, of even the blood of mine only begotten. <​26/​> Things have their likeness; & all thing are created & made to bear record of me; both things which are temporal, & things which are spiritual; things which are in the Heavens above, & things which are in <​on​> the Earth, beneath & things which are in the Earth & things which are under the Earth; both above & beneath all things bear Record of me. <​/​> And it came to pass, when the Lord had spoken <​27/​> with Adam, our father, he cried that Adam cried unto the Lord, & he was caught away by the Spirit of the Lord, & was carried down into the water, & was laid under the water, & was brought forth out of the water; & thus he was baptized, & the spirit of God decended upon him, & thus he was born of the spirit, & became quickened in the inner man. & he heard a voice out of heaven, saying, thou art baptized with fire & with the Holy Ghost; this is the Record of the Father & the Son, from hence forth & forever; & thou art after the order of him who was without begining of days or end of years, from all eternity to all eternity. Behold, thou art one in me, a Son of God; & thus may <​all​> become my Sons: Amen. <​/​>

<​1​> And it came to pass, that Enoch contined his speech, saying, saying behold, our Father Adam taught these things, & many have believed. And became the sons of God; & many have believed not, & have perished in their Sins, & are looking forth with fear in torment, for the firey indignation of the wrath of God, to be poured out upon them. <​/​> And, from that time forth Enoch <​2/​> began to prophecy, saying unto the people, that, as I was Jourieying And stood in the place Mahujah, & I cried unto the Lord, there came a voice out of Heaven, Saying, turn ye & get ye upon the mount Simeon. And it came to pass, that I turned & went upon the mount; And, as I stood upon the mount, I beheld the Heavens open, & I was clothed upon with glory, & I saw the Lord; & he stood before my face, & he talked with me, even as a man talketh, one with another, face to face; & he saith unto me, look, & I will shew unto thee the world for the space of many generations. <​/​> And it came to pass, that <​3/​> I beheld in the vally of Shum, & Lo! a great people which [p. 19] Dwelt in tents, which were the people of Shum. & again the Lord said unto me, look, & I looked towards the North & I beheld the people of Canaan, which dwelt in tents. And the Lord said unto me, prophecy; & I prophecied, Saying, behold the people of Canaan, which are numerous, shall go forth in battle aray against the people of Shum, & shall slay them, that they shall be utterly destroyed. & the people of Canaan shall divide themselves in the land & the land shall be barren & unfruitful, & none other people shall dwell there but the people of Canaan. <​/​> <​4/​> for, behold, the Lord shall curse the land with much heat & <​the​> barrenness thereof shall go forth forever. <​/​> & there was a blackness come upon all the children of canaan so that they were despised among all people. <​/​> And it came <​5/​> came to pass, that the Lord said unto me look, & I, looked & I Beheld the land of Sharon, & the land of Enoch, & the land of Omner, & the land of Heni, & the land of Shem, & the land of Haner, & the land of Hananiah, & all the inhabitants thereof. & the Lord said unto me, go forth to this people, & say unto them, repent, lest I shall come out & smite them with a curse, & they die. <​/​> And <​6/​> he gave unto me a commandment, that I should baptize in the name of the father, & of the Son, which <​who​> is full of grace & truth, & the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of the father & the Son. <​/​> And it came to pass, that Enoch <​7/​> continued to call upon all the people, save it were the people of Canaan, to repent & so great was the faith of Enoch that he led the people of God And their enemies came to battle against them, & he spake the word of the Lord, & the Earth trembeled, & the Mountains fled, even according to his comm and & the Rivers (of water) were turned out of their course & the roar of the Lions were heard out of the wilderness, & all <​Nations​> feared greatly, so powerfull was the word of Enoch, & so great was the power of the language which god had given him. <​/​> <​8/​> There also came up a land out of the depth of the Sea; & so great was the fear of the enemies of the people of God, that they fled & stood afar off, & went upon the land which came up out of the depth of the Sea. And the Jiants of the land, also, stood afar off; & there went forth a curse upon all the [p. 20] People which fought against God, & from that time forth, there was wars & bloodshed among them; But the Lord came & dwelt with his people, And they dwelt in righteousness. & the fear of the Lord was upon all Nations, so great was the glory <​of​> the Lord which was upon his people. <​/​> & the Lord blessed the land, & they were blessed upon <​9/​> the mountains, & upon the high places, & did flourish. & the Lord called his people Zion; because they were of one heart, & of one mind, & dwelt in righteousness. & there were no poor among them. <​/​> & Enoch continued his preaching in righteousness unto <​10/​> the people of God. <​/​> And it came to pass, in his days, that he built a City that was called the City of Holynenss, even Zion. And it came to pass, that Enoch talked with the Lord, & he said unto the Lord, Shurely, Zion shall dwell in safety forever. But <​and​> the Lord said unto Enoch, Zion have I blessed, but the residue of the people have I cursed. <​/​> And it came to pass, that the Lord <​11/​> shewed unto Enoch all the inhabitants of the Earth, & he beheld, & Lo! Zion, in process of time was taken up into Heaven And the Lord said unto Enoch, behold mine abode forever. & Enoch, also beheld the residue of the people which were the sons of Adam, And they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam, save it were the seed of Cain; for, the seed of Cain were black, & had not place among them. & after that Zion was taken up into Heaven, Enoch beheld, & lo! all the Nations of the Earth were before him, And there came generation upon generation, & Enoch was high & lifted up, even in the bosom of the father, (And the son of man;) And, behold, the powers of Satan were upon all the face of the Earth; And he saw Angels decending out of Heaven & he heard a loud voice, saying, wo! wo! be unto the inhabitants of the Earth. And he beheld Satan & he had a great Chain in his hand, And it <​he​> veiled the whole face of the Earth with darkness, & he looked up & laughed, & his Angels rejoiced. & Enoch beheld Angels decending out of Heaven, bearing testimony of the father, & of the Son. & of the Holy Ghost fell on many, & they were caught up by the power of Heaven into Zion. <​/​> And it came to pass, that the God of Heaven <​Enock​> look<​12/​>ed upon the residue of the people & wept. And <​he​> Enoch bore record of it Saying how is it the heavens weep <​beheld and <​lo!​> the heavens wept also​> & shed forth their tears as the rain upon the Mountains And Enoch Said unto the heavens how is it that thou canst weep Seeing [p. 21] Thou art holy & from all eternity to all eternity, & were it posible that man could number the particles of Earth yea & millions of such Earths like this it would not be a begining to the number of thy creations & thy curtains are stretched out still And yet thou art there & thy bosom <​presince​> is there And also thou art Just thou art merciful & kind forever thou hast taken Zion to thine own bosom from <​all thy creations​> <​from​> All eternity to all eternity & naught but peace Justice & truth is the habitation of thy throne & mercy shall go before thy face & have no end, how is it that thou canst weep? <​/​> the Lord said unto Enoch, behold, these thy Brethren, <​13/​> they are the workmanship of mine own hands, & I gave unto them their knowledge <​intelligence​> in the day that I created them & in the Garden of Eden gave <​they​> I unto man his <​had​> agency; & unto thy brethren have I said, & also gave commandment, that they should love me one another, & that they should Choose me their Father <​serve me their God​> but, Behold, they are without affection, & they hate their own blood; & the fire of mine indignation is kindled against them, & in my hot displeasure will I send in the floods upon them, for my fierce anger is kindeled against them. <​/​> Behold, I am God <​14/​> & <​&​> man of holyness is my name, man of councel is my name, & endless, & eternal is my name also. <​/​> Wherefore, I can stretch forth <​14 <​15​>/​> mine hands, & hold all the Creations in mine which I have made. And mine eye can pierce them also. And among all the workmanship of mine hands, there has not been so great wickedness as among thy brethren; But, behold, their sins shall be upon the heads of their fathers; Satan shall be their father <​master​> & misery shall be their doom; & the whole heavens shall weep over them, even all the workmanship of mine hands. <​/​> <​16/​> Wherefore should not the heavens weep, seing these Shall suffer. But, behold, these which thine eyes are upon shall perish in the floods, & behold, I will shut them up; A prison have I prepared for them And that <​he​> which <​whom​> I have chosen hath <​has​> pleaded before my face. Wherefore, he suffereth for their sins, in as much as they will repent, in the day that my Chosen will <​Shall​> return unto me; And untill that day, they shall be in torment. <​/​> Wherefore, for this shall the heavens weep, yea, & <​17/​> all the workmanship of mine hands. <​/​> And it came to pass <​17/​> that the Lord spake unto Enoch, & told Enoch all the [p. 22] Doings of the Children of men, Wherefore, Enoch knew, & looked upon their wickedness, & their misery, & wept, & stretched forth his arms, & his heart swelled wide as <​and he beheld​> eternity, & his bowels yearned, & all eternity shook, & Enoch saw Noah also And his family, That the posterity of all the Sons of Noah should be saved with a temporal salvation. <​/​> wherefore <​18/​> he <​Enock​> saw that Noah built an Ark & the Lord smiled upon it & held it in his own hand but upon the residue of the wicked came the floods & swallowed them up. & as Enoch saw thus, he had bitterness of Soul, & wept over his brethren, & said unto the Heavens, I will refuse to be comforted but, the Lord said unto Enoch, lift up your heart & be glad, & look. And it came to pass, that Enoch beheld <​looked​>. And from Noah he beheld all the families of the Earth; & he cried unto the Lord, saying, when shall the day of the Lord come? When shall the blood of the righteous be shed that all they that mourn may be sanctified, & have eternal <​19/​> life? <​/​> And the Lord said, it shall be in the maridian of time <​19/​> in the days of wickedness & vengence. And, behold, Enoch saw the day of the coming of the son of man, even in the flesh And he saw <​his soul​> & rejoiced, saying, the righteous is lifted up, & the Lamb is slain from the foundation of the world; & through faith I am in the bosom of the father; And, behold, Zion is with me. & it came to pass, that Enoch looked upon Earth, & he heard a voice from the bowels thereof, saying, wo! wo! is me the mother of men! I am pained, I am weary, because of the wickedness of my Children, when shall I rest, & be cleansed from the wickedness <​filthiness​> which is <​has​> gone out of forth out of me? when will my creator sanctify me, that I may rest, & righteousness for a season abide upon my face. <​/​> & And when Enoch <​20/​> heard the Earth mourn, he wept, & cried unto the Lord, saying <​20/​> O Lord wilt thou not have compassion upon the Earth, wilt thou not bless the children of Noah? And it came to pass, that Enoch continued his cry unto the Lord, Saying, I ask thee O Lord, in the name of thine Only Begotten even Jesus Christ, That thou wilt have mercy upon Noah, & his seed, that the Earth might never more be covered by the floods & the Lord could not with hold & he covenanted with Noah <​Enock​> & swore <​sware​> unto him with an oath, that he would stay the floods [p. 23] That he would call upon the children of Noah And he sent forth an unalterable decree that <​from​> a remnant of his seed should always be found among <​come all nations​> all Nations while the Earth should stand. <​/​> And the Lord said, blessed is him <​he​> through whose <​21/​> seed the Masiah should <​shall​> come; For he saith, I am the Masiah, the King of Zion; the rock of Heaven, which is broad as eternity, & whoso cometh in at the gate & climbeth up by me, shall never fall. <​/​> Wherefore, blessed are they of which <​whom​> <​22/​> I have spoken, for they shall come forth with songs of everlasting Joy. <​/​> And it came to pass, that Enoch cried <​22/​> unto the Lord, saying, when the Son of man cometh in the flesh shall the Earth rest? I pray thee shew me these things. And the Lord said unto Enoch, look, & he looked & beheld the son of man lifted upon the cross, after the manner of men. And he heard a loud voice, & the Heavens were veiled; & all the creation of God mourned; And the Earth groaned; & the rocks were rent; & the saints arose, & were crowned at the right hand of the Son of man with crowns of glory. & as many of the spirits as were in Prison came forth & stood on the right hand of God. & the remainder were reserved in chains of darkness untill the Judgement of the great day. <​/​> And again Enoch wept, & cried unto the <​23/​> Lord again, Saying, when Shall the Earth rest? & Enoch beheld the Son of man ascend up unto the Father; & he called unto the Lord, Saying, wilt thou not come again upon the Earth? for, in as much as thou art God, & I know thee & thou hast sworn unto me & commanded me that I should ask in the name of thine only begotten. Thou hast made me & given <​unto​> me a right to thy throne, and not of myself but through thine own grace; wherefore, I ask thee if thou wilt not come again on the Earth? <​/​> & the Lord <​24/​> said unto Enoch, As I live, even so will I come in the last days, in the days of wickedness & vengence, to fulfill the oath which I have made unto you concerning the Children of Noah. And the day shall come that the Earth shall rest. But before that day the Heavens shall be darkened, & a veil of darkness shall cover the Earth; & the Heavens shall shake & also the Earth. A great tribulation shall be among the children of men, but my People will I preserve; & righteousness will I [p. 24] Send down out of Heaven, & truth will I send forth out of the Earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, & also the resurrection of all men. And righteousness & truth will I cause to sweep the Earth as the <​with a​> flood, to gether out mine own elect from the four quarters of the Earth, unto a place which I shall prepare; an holy City, that my people may gird up my <​their​> loins, & be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, & it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem. <​/​> <​25/​> & the Lord said unto Enoch, then shalt thou & all thy City meet them; there <​there;​> & we will receive them into our bosom; & they shall see us, And we will fall upon their necks, & they shall fall upon our necks, & we will kiss each other & there shall be mine abode, & it shall be Zion which shal come forth out of all the creations which I have made; & for the space of a thousand years shall the Earth rest. <​/​> & it came <​26/​> to pass, that Enoch saw the days of the coming of the son of man, in the last days, to dwell on the Earth, in righteousness, for the space of a thousand years. but before that day, he saw great tribulations among the wicked; & he also saw the Sea, that it was troubled, & men’s hearts failing them looking forth with fear for the Judgements of the Almighty God, Which should come upon the wicked. <​/​> And the Lord showed Enoch all things, <​27/​> even unto the end of the world. And he saw the end <​day​> of the righteous, the hour of <​their​> redemption, & received a fullness of Joy. And all the days of Zion, in the days of Enoch, were three hundred & sixty five years. And Enoch & all his people walked with God, And he dwelt in the midst of Zion. And it came to pass, that Zion was not, for God received it up into his own bosom; & from thence went forth the saying, Zion is fled. <​/​> & it came to pass, that Mathusalah, <​28/​> the son of Enoch, was not taken, that the covenants of the Lord might be fulfilled which he made to Enoch; for he truly covenanted with Enoch, that Noah should <​come​> by <​be​> <​of​> the fruit of his loins. <​/​> And it came to pass, that Mathusalah Propheci<​29/​>ed, that from his loins should come <​Spring​> all the kingdoms of the Earth, (from <​through​> Noah.) And he took glory unto himself; & there came forth a great famine into the land, And the Lord cursed the Earth with a sore curse, And many of the [p. 25] inhabitants thereof died. <​/​> And it came to pass, that Mathusalah <​29 <​30​>/​> lived one hundred Eighty & seven years & begat Lamech; & Mathusalah lived, after he begat Lamech, seven hundred eighty & two years & begat sons & Daughters. & all the days of Mathusalah were nine hundred & eighty <​sixty​> & two <​nine​> years; & he died. <​/​> & Lamech lived an hundred eighty <​&​> two years And begat <​30 <​31​>/​> a son, & he called his name Noah, saying, This son shall comfort us concerning our work & toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed. & Lamech lived after he begat Noah, five hundred & ninety & five years, & begat sons & daughters. & all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy & seven years; & he died. <​*​> <​/​> And <​it came to pass that when​> Noah was five <​1​> hundred years old And Noah <​he​> begat Shem Ham & Japheth. <​/​>

<​2/​> And it came to pass that Noah & his Sons hearkened unto the Lord & gave heed & they were called the sons of God & when there <​these​> men began to multiply on the face of the earth & daughters were borne unto them that the sons of men saw that their daughters were fair they took them wives even as they chose. <​/​> & the Lord said unto Noah the daughters of thy <​3/​> sons have sold themselves For Behold mine anger is kindeled against the sons of men for they will not hearken to my voice. <​/​> And it came to pass that Noah prophecied & taught <​3/​> the things of God even as it was in the begining & the Lord said unto Noah my spirit shall not always strive with man for he shall know that all flesh shall die Yet his days shall be an hundred & twenty years and if men do not repent I will send in the floods upon them. <​/​> And in those days <​4/​> there were giants in <​on​> the Earth And they sought Noah to take away his life but the Lord was with Noah & the power of the Lord was upon him & the Lord ordained Noah after his own order & commanded him that he should go forth & declare the <​his​> Gospel unto the children of men even as it was given unto Enoch. <​/​> And <​5/​> it <​it​> came to pass that Noah called upon the children of men that they should repent but they hearkened not unto his words & also after that they had heard him they came up before him Saying Behold we are the Sons of God have we not taken unto ourselves daughters of men & are we not eating & drinking [p. 26] 1 *And Noah was four Hundred and fifty <​years old​> and begat Japheth, and forty two years afterward, he begat shem from <​of​> her who was the Mother of Japheth, and when he was five hundred years old, he begat Ham. & marrying & given in marriage & our wives bear unto us children & the same are mighty men which are like unto them of <​6/​> old men of great renoun & they hearkened not unto <​the words of​> Noah. <​/​> & <​6/​> God saw that the wickedness of man had become great in the Earth And evry man was lifted up in the imagination of the thoughts of his heart being only evil continually. <​/​> And it came to <​7/​> pass that Noah continued his preaching unto the people saying hearken & give heed unto my words Believe & repent of your sins & be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ the son of God even as our fathers did & ye shall receive the Holy Ghost that ye may have all things made manifest & if you do not this the floods will come in upon you. <​/​> Nevertheless they heark<​8/​>ened not. <​/​> And it repented Noah & his heart was pained that <​8/​> the Lord made man on the Earth & it grieved him at the heart And the Lord said I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the Earth, both men & beasts & the creeping things And the fowls of the air for it repenteth Noah that I have created them & that I have made them & he hath called upon me & <​for​> they have sought his life. <​/​> but <​and thus​> Noah found grace in the <​9/​> eyes of the Lord & <​for​> Noah was a Just man & perfect in his generation & Noah <​he​> walked with God & also his three sons Shem Ham Japheth. <​/​> <​but​> the Earth was corrupt before God & the Earth <​it​> was filled <​10/​> with violence & God looked upon the Earth <​it​> & Behold it was corrupt for all flesh had corrupted his <​its​> way upon the Earth & God said unto Noah the end of all flesh is come before me for for the Earth is filled with violence through them & behold I will destroy them <​all flesh​> from off the Earth. <​/​> make thee <​therefore​> an ark of <​11/​> Gopher wood rooms shalt thou make in the ark & thou shalt pitch it within & without with pitch & the length of the ark thou shalt make three hundred cubits the breadth of it fifty cubits & the higth of it thirty cubits & windows shalt thou make to the ark & in a cubit shalt thou finish it above & the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof Lower second & third Chambers shalt thou make <​in​> it. <​/​> & behold, I, even I, will <​12/​> bring in a flood of water upon the Earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein shall <​is​> the breath of life, from under Heaven; evry thing that liveth on the Earth shall die; but with thee will I establish my covenant, even as I have sworn unto thy father Enoch, that a remnant <​of​> of thy posterity should be preserved among <​come​> all [p. 27] Nations. <​/​> which shall come And thou shalt come into the ark <​13/​> thou & thy Sons, & thy wife, & thy Sons wives with thee. & of evry living thing of all flesh, two of evry kind shalt thou bring of evry kind into the ark, to keep alive with thee; they shall be male & female, of fowls after their kind, & of cattle after their kind, of evry creeping thing of the Earth after his kind; two of every kind shalt thou take into the ark, to keep alive. And take thou unto thee <​of all​> food of that is eaten; And thou shalt gether frouit of evry kind unto thee, in the ark; & it shall be for food for thee & for them. <​/​> Thus did Noah, according to all that God <​14/​> commanded him even so amen

And the Lord said unto Noah, come thou, & all thy house, into the Ark; for thee <​only​> have I seen righteous before me, in this generation. <​/​> of evry clean beast thou shalt thou take to thee <​15/​> by sevens, the male & his femeal; And of beasts that are not clean by two, the male & his female; of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male & the female: to keep seed alive upon the face of the Earth. For yet seven days & I will cause it to rain upon the Earth, forty days & forty nights; & evry living soul <​Substance​> that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the Earth. <​/​> & Noah did according to all that the Lord <​16/​> commanded him And Noah was six hundred years old <​16/​> when the flood (of waters) was upon the Earth, & Noah went went in & his sons & his wife & his sons wives with him into the ark, Because of the waters of the flood, Of clean beasts & of beasts that were not clean & of fowls & of evry thing that creepeth upon the Earth there went in two & two, unto Noah into the Ark, the male & the female, as God had commanded Noah and it came to pass, after seven days, that the waters of the flood, were upon the Earth. in the six hundreth year of Noahs life in the second month & the seventeenth day of the Month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up & the windows of Heaven were opened, & the rain was upon the Earth forty days & forty nights. <​/​> <​17/​> in the self same day entered Noah & Shem Ham & Japheth the Sons of Noah & Noahs wife & his <​the​> three <​wives of his​> sons wives, with them <​*​> [p. 28] into the Ark <​*​> & they that went in went in male & female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. & the Lord shut him in. <​/​> & the <​18/​> flood was forty days upon the Earth, & the waters increased & bear up the ark & it was lifted up above the Earth, & the waters prevailed & increased greatly upon the Earth. And the ark went upon the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the face of the Earth. And all the high hills that are under the wholl [whole] Heavens were covered, fifteen cubits <​and​> upward. Did the waters prevail. And the mountains were covered. & all flesh died that moved upon the face of the Earth. Both of fowl & of Cattle & of beasts & of evry creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth & evry man All in whose noistrills the Lord had breathed the breath of life of all that were in <​on​> the dry land died & evry living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground both men & Cattle & the creeping things & the fowls of the air <​Heaven​> & they were destroyed from the Earth & Noah only remained, & they that were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed on the Earth one hundred & fifty days. <​/​> And God remembered Noah <​every living thing​> & all <​the cattle​> that were with <​19/​> him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the Earth And the waters receded assuaged, the fountains also of the deep & the windows of Heaven were stop[p]ed. And the rain from Heavn was retained from off the Earth & the waters returned from off the Earth <​continually​>. <​/​> And after the end of the Hundred & fifty days the waters <​20/​> waters were abated. And the ark rested in the seventh Month on the seventh <​seventeenth​> day of the Month upon the Mountain of Arrarat & the waters decreased <​continually​> untill the tenth Month & in <​on​> <​& in​> the tenth day of <​on​> the <​first of the​> Month were the tops of the Mountains seen. <​/​> & it came to <​21/​> pass At the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made & he sint forth a raven which went forth to & fro untill the waters were dried up from off the Earth he also sent forth a dove from him to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot. And she returned unto him into the ark for the waters had not receded from off the face of the whole Earth then he for put forth his hand & took her, And pulled her in unto him into the ark. <​/​> And he <​22/​> stay<​ed​> yet other seven days. And again he sent forth the the dove out of the ark & <​&​> the dove came in to him in the evening [p. 29] *they and every beast after his kind and all the cattle after their kind and every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth after his kind and every fowl after his kind and every bird of every sort and they went unto Noah into the ark two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life an <​And​> Lo! in her mouth an olive leaf (plucked off) so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the Earth. <​/​> <​23/​> And he stayed yet other seven days & sent forth a dove which returned not again unto him any more. <​/​> & And it came to <​24/​> pass in the Sixhundreth & first year in the first Month the first day of the Month the waters were dried up from off the Earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark & looked & behold the face of the ground was dry. And in the second Month on the seven & twentieth day of the Month was the Earth dried. <​/​> And God spake unto Noah Saying, go forth 1 out of the ark, thou & thy wife, & they Sons & thy sons wives with thee. Bring forth with thee evry living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both of fowl, & of cattle, & of evry creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth; that they may breed abundantly in the Earth, & be fruitful & multiply upon the Earth. <​/​> And Noah went forth, & his sons, & his wife, & his sons <​2/​> wives with him. And evry beast, & evry creeping thing, & evry fowl, <​and whatsoever creepeth​> upon the Earth after their kind<​s​> went forth out of the ark. <​/​> And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord, & took of <​3/​> evry clean beast, & of evry clean fowl, & offered burnt offer ings on the altar; And gave thanks unto the Lord, & rejoiced in his heart. <​/​> And the Lord spake unto Noah, & he blessed him <​4/​> And Noah smelled a sweet saviour, & he said in his heart I will call on the name of the Lord that he will not again curse the ground any more for mans sake; for the imagination of mans heart is evil from his youth. And, that he will not again smite any more, evry thing living, as he hath done, while the Earth remaineth. And, that seed time & harvest, & cold & heat, & summer & winter, & day & night may not cease with man. <​/​> <​9:7​>

<​5/​> And God Called <​blessed​> Noah & his Sons, & said unto them; be fruitful & multiply, & replenish the Earth. And the fear of you, & the dread of you, shall be upon evry beast, of the Earth, & upon evry fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the Earth, And upon all the fishes of the Sea, unto your hand are they delivered. evry moveing thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb, [p. 30] have I given you for meat all things. <​/​> but the blood of all <​6/​> which I have I given you for meat shall be shed upon the ground which taketh life thereof & the blood ye shall not eat. And shurely blood shall not be shed only for meat to Save <​your​> life <​lives​> & the blood of evry beast will I require at your hands & whoso shedeth mans blood by man shall his blood be shed, for man Shall not shed the blood of man. <​/​> For a commandment I give that every mans <​7/​> brother shall preserve the life of man, for in mine own image have I made man And a commandment I give unto you be ye fruitful & multiply; bring forth abundantly, on the Earth & multiply therein. <​/​> And God spake unto Noah, & to his Sons with <​8/​> him Saying, & I, behold, I, will establish my covenant with you which I made unto your Father Enoch concerning your seed after you. And it shall come to pass, that evry living creature that is with you of the fowl, & of the cattle, & of the beast of the Earth that is with you, which shall go out of the Ark Shall not altogether perish; Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the Earth; And I will establish my covenant with you, which I made unto Enoch Concerning the remnants of your posterity. <​/​> And God made a covenant with Noah And said this <​9/​> shall be the token of the covenant I make between me & you. And for every living creature with you for perpetual generation & I will set my bow in the cloud. And it shall be for a token of a covenant between me & the Earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the Earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud; And I will remember my covenant which I have made between me & you for every living creature <​of all flesh​>. And the waters Shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh, & the bow shall be in the cloud; & I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant which I have made unto thy father Enoch; that, when men should keep all my commandments; Zion should again come on the Earth, the City of Enoch which I have caught up unto myself. <​/​> And this is mine <​10/​> everlasting covenant <​that I establish with you​> that when thy posterity shall embrace the thruth And look upward; then Shall Zion look downward. And all the Heavens shall shake with gladness. And the Earth shall tremble with Joy; & the general assembly of the Church of the first born, shall come down out of Heaven. And possess the Earth [p. 31] And shall have place untill the end come. <​/​> And & this is mine <​11/​> everlasting covenant which I made with thy father Enoch. And the Bow shall be in the cloud. And I will establish my covenant, unto thee which I have made between me & thee for evry living creature of all flesh that shall be upon the Earth. And God said unto Noah This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me & thee, For all flesh that shall be upon the Earth. <​/​> And the Sons of Noah that went forth of the <​12/​> ark, were Shem & Ham & Japheth; & And Ham was the Father of Canaan, These were the three Sons of Noah. And of them was the whole Earth overspread. <​/​> And Noah began to till the Earth. And <​13/​> he was an husbandman; & he planted a vineyard, & he drank of the wine And was drunken; & he was uncovered within his tent And Ham, the Father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his Father, And told his <​two​> brethren without. And Shem & Japheth, took a garment & laid upon both their shoulders, & went backward <​and covered the nakedness of their father and there faces were backward​> And they saw not their Fathers nakedness. <​/​> And Noah awoke from his wine, & knew <​14/​> what his younger <​youngest​> son had done unto him. And he said, cursed be Canaan A servent of servents shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, blessed be the Lord God of Shem; And canaan Shall be his Servent, And a veil of darkness Shall cover him that he shall be known among all men. God shall enlarge Japheth, & he shall dwell in the tents of Shem And canaan shall be his Servents. <​/​> <​15/​> And Noah lived after the flood three Hundred & fifty years And all the days of Noah were nine hundred & fifty years and he died

<​1​> Now these were the generations of the Sons of Noah; Shem, Ham & Japheth; And unto them were sons born after the flood. The Sons of Japheth; Gomer, & Magog, Madai, And Savan <​Javan​>, & Tubal, & Meshech & tiras <​Tyrus​>. <​/​> & these are the sons of Gomar: Ashkenaz & Riphath, & Togam<​2/​>ah. And these are the sons of Savan <​Javan​>; Eleshah & Tarshish, Kittim <​&​> Dodanim. By these were the Isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after the same tongues, after their families in their Nations. <​/​> And these are the sons of Ham; Cush, & Mizraim <​3/​> & Phut, & Canaan, & And these are the <​the​> sons of Cush: Seba, & Havillah & Sabtah, & Raamah, & Sabtecha; <​&​> these are the Sons of Raamah Sheba Dedan. And Cush begat Nimr[o]d; he begat <​began​> to be a [p. 32] Mighty one in the Earth he was a mighty hunter in the land. Wherefore, <​it is said, evn & Nimrod as mighty hunter in the Land &​> he began a Kingdom. <​/​> And & the begining of his Kingdom <​4/​> was Babal, And Enoch <​Eroc​>, & Accad, & Calnach, in the land of Shenar Out of that land went forth Ashur And builded Ninevah & the City Rehoboth And Calah & Resen between Ninevah & Calah the same was a great City. <​/​> And Mizraim begat Ludim & Anam <​5/​> im & Lehabim & Neaphtuhim & Pathusim & Casluhim out of whom came Philistim, & Caphtorim. <​/​> & Canaan And begat <​6/​> Sidon, his first born, & Heth, <​&​> the Sebusite <​Jebusite​>, & the Amorite & Gurgasite & <​the​> Hivite, & the Arkite, & the Sinite, & the Arradite <​Arvadite​>, & the Zemarite, & the Hamathite, And afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. And the borders of the Canaanites were from Sidon as thou cometh <​comest​> to Gorar unto Gaza; as thou goest to Sodom & Gomorah, And Admah, & Teboiim, even unto Lasha, These were the sons of Ham, after their families, after the same tongue, in their Countries, & in their Nations. <​/​> Unto Shem also, which was the Elder Children were born; And he was the <​7/​> Father of Eber, & even to him were Children born. & And these are the Children of Shem; Eber, & Elam, & Asshur, & Arphaxed, & Lud, & Aram. And these are the Children of Aram; Us, & Hul, & Gether, & Mash, & Arphaxed. <​/​> And Arphaxed begat Salah; & Salah begat <​8/​> Eber; & unto Eber was <​were​> <​born​> two Sons, the name of the one was Peleg the other Sohtan <​Joktan​>. And Peleg was a mighty man, for in his days was the Earth divided. <​/​> And Johtan <​Joktan​> begat Almodad, & Sheleph, & <​9/​> Hazarmaveth, & Jarah; & Hodoram <​Hadoram​>, & Wiel <​Uzal​> & Diktah <​Diklah​>; & Ebal <​Obal​>, & Abram Abrmel <​Abimael​>, & Sheba, & Ophar, & Havilah, Sobaball <​Jobab​> <​all​> These were the Sons of Johtan <​Joktan​> & their dwelling <​was​> from Mesha, <​as​> thou goest unto Sephar, a mount of the East. <​/​> These were the Sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their <​10/​> Nations. these were the families of the Sons of Noah, after their generations, in their Nations; And by these were the Nations divided on the Earth after the flood.

<​1/​> And the whole Earth was of the same language, & of the same speech. And it came to pass, that many Journeyed from the East & as they Journeyed from the East, they found a plain in the land of Shinar; And dwelt there in the plain of Shinar, [p. 33] And they said one to another, Come, go to, let us make brick And burn them thourougly; And they had brick for stone. And they had Slime for morter. And they said, come, go to, let us build us a City. And a Tower, whose top will be high, nigh unto Heaven. And let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole Earth. <​/​> And the Lord <​2/​> came <​looked​> <​came​> down, <​upon the​> to <​beholding​> the City, & the Tower which the Children of men were building; And the Lord said, behold, the people, are the same & they all have the same language. And this Tower they begin to build; And now, nothing will be restrained from them which they have immagined; except I, the Lord, confound their language that they may not understand one anothers speech. So, I, the Lord, will scatter them abroad from thence, upon all the face of the land, & And unto evry quarter of the earth. And they were confounded, & left off to build the City; And they hearkened not unto the Lord, Therefore, is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord was displeased with their works. And did there confound the language of all the Earth; And from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face thereof. <​/​> And these <​3/​> were the generations of Shem. & Shem being and <​an ten​> Hundred <​and ten​> years begat Arphaxed, two years after the flood; & Shem liveed after he begat Arphaxed five Hundred years; And begat Sons & daughters. <​/​> And Arphaxed lived five & thirty <​4/​> years, & begat Salah; And Arphaxed lived after he begat Salah four hundred & three years, & begat sons & daughters. <​/​> And <​5/​> Salah lived thirty years, & begat Eber; & Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred & three years, And begat Sons <​6/​> & daughters. <​/​> And Eber lived four & thirty years, & begat Peleg; <​7/​> And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred & thirty years <​7/​> And begat sons & daughters. <​/​> And Peleg lived thirty years, & begat Reu; & Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred & nine <​8/​> years & begat Sons & daughters. <​/​> And Reu lived two & thirty years And begat Serug; & Reu lived after he begat Serug two Hundred & seven years & begat Sons & daughters. <​/​> And <​9/​> Serug lived thirty years & begat Nahor: And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, & begat Sons & daughters <​10/​> And Nahor lived nine & twenty years & begat Terah; & Nahor lived after he bagat Terah an hundred & nineteen years, & [p. 34] <​11/​> begat Sons and daughters. <​/​> And Terah lived seventy years & begat <​12/​> Abram, Nahor, & Haran. <​/​> Now these were the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, & Haran: & Haran begat Lot. & Haran died before his fathers Terah, in the Land of his <​13/​> nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. <​/​> And Abram, & Nahor, took them wives: & the name of Abrams wife <​was​> Sarai & the name of Nahors wife, Acibcha <​Milcha​>, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcha, & the fathers Iscah; <​/​> but Sarai was baren, & And she <​14/​> bare no Child. <​/​> & Terah took Abram his Son, And Lot the Son of Haran his Son’s Son, And Sarai his daughterinlaw, his son Abrams wife; And they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; & they came unto Haran, & dwelt there. <​/​> & the days of Terah were two hun<​1​>dred & five years; & Terah died in Haran. <​/​>

<​Ch 12th​> Now the Lord had said unto Abram, get thee out of thy country, & from thy kindred, And from thy fathers house, unto a land that I will shew thee; And I will make of thee a great Nation, And I will bless thee, & make thy name great; & thou shalt be a blessing; And I will bless them that bless thee, And curse them that curse thee <​2/​> And in thee shall the families of the Earth be blessed. <​/​> So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and lot went with him. And Abram was seventy & five years old when he departed out of Haran. And Abram took Sarai his wife, & Lot his brothers Son, & all their Substance that they had gethered, And the Souls that they had gotten in Haran; And they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; And into the land <​3/​> of Canaan they came. <​/​> & Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land. And the Lord appeared unto Abram, & said Unto thy seed will I give this land: And there builded he an Altar unto the Lord who appeared <​4/​> unto him. <​/​> And he removed from thence unto a Mountain on the East of Bethel, And pitched his tent, leaving Bethel on the East <​west​>, & Hai was on the east, & there he builded an altar unto the Lord, And called upon the name of the Lord. <​5/​> And Abram Journeyed, going on still toward the south. <​/​> And there was a famine in the land; And Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine became grieve ous in the land. And it came to pass. When he was [p. 35] Come near to enter into Egypt that, he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know thee to be a fair woman to look upon; therefore it shall come to pass When the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, this is his wife: And they will kill me, but they will Save thee alive. Say, I pray thee, unto them, I am his Sister: that it may be well with thee <​me​> for thy sake; And my soul <​6/​> shall live because of thee. <​/​> And it came to pass That when Abram was come into Egypt the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. The promises <​Princes​> also of Pharaoh saw her, & commanded her to be brought before Pharaoh: And the woman was taken into Pharaohs house. And he entreated Abram well for her sake: And he had Sheep, & Oxen, & he Asses, & men servents, & Camels. <​7/​> And the Lord plagued Pharaoh & his house with great Plagues because of Sarai Abrams wife. And Pharaoh called Abram & said, what hast thou done unto me in this thing? Why didst thou not tell me that She was thy wife? why saidst thou, she is my Sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife. Now therefore, Behold, I say unto thee, take thy wife & go thy way. And Pharaoh commanded men concerning him: And they sent him away, & his wife, & all that he had

<​1​> And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, & his wife, & all that he had And lot with him, into the south. And Abram <​2/​> was very rich in Cattle, in Silver, & in Gold. <​/​> And he went on his Journey from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his Tent had been At the begining, between Bethel & Hai; unto the place of the Altar which he had made there At the first; And there Abram called on the <​3/​> name of the Lord. <​/​> And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, & herds, & tents. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abrams Cattle & the herdmen of lots Cattle: that they could not dwell [p. 36] <​4/​> together. <​/​> And the cananite & the Perezite dwelled them in the land. And Abram said unto Lot, let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me & thee, And between my herdmen & thy herdmen; for we are brethren. Is not the whole land before thee? seperate thyself, I pray thee, from me; if thou go to the left hand, then I will go to the right; if thou go to the right, hand <​5/​> then I will go to the left. <​/​> And Lot lifted up his eyes, & beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered evry where before the Lord destroyed Sodom & gomorah, like as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. Then lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; And Lot Journeyed out; & they seperated <​6/​> themselves the one from the other. <​/​> Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, And Lot dwelled in the Cities of the plain, And pitched his tent toward sodom. But the men of Sodom becoming Sinners & exceedingly wicked before the Lord. <​&​> the Lord <​7/​> was angery with them. <​/​> And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was seperated from him, lift up now thine eyes, And look from the place where thou art, Northward, & Southward, & eastward & Westward; And remember the Covenants which I make with thee; for it shall be an everlasting covenant; And thou shalt remember the days of Enoch thy father; for all the Land which thou seest, will I give thee, & to thy seed forever: And I will make they seed as the dust of the Earth; so that if a man can nu mber the dust of the Earth, thy seed shall also be numbered. arise walk through the Land in the length of it And in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. Then Abraham removed his tent, And came and dwelled in the plain of Memree <​Mamree​> which was in Hebron And built there an altar unto the Lord

<​1/​> And it came to pass, in the days of Arrapheal <​Amraphel​>, King of Shinar And Anoch <​Arioch​> King of Eleazar Ellasar, Chederlaomer King of Elam, And Tidal King of Nations; That these Kings made war with Bera King of Sodom, And with Bersha King of Gomorrah, Shinab King of Adna <​Admah​>, And Shemeber King of Zeboiim And the King of Bela, which is Zoar. All these were goined <​Joined​> together in the vale of Siddim, which is the Salt Sea. <​/​> twelve years they served <​2/​> Chederlaomer <​& in the thirteenth year they rebelled, & in the fourtenth year came Chederlaomer​> & the Kings that were with him And smote the [p. 37] Rephaims in Ashteroth Ramaim <​Karnaiam,​> & the Zuzims in Ham & the Emims <​in​> Shaveh Kirrithaim, And the Horites in their <​/​> Mount seir unto Elparen which was by the wilderness. And they returned, & came to Eenmishpat; which is Radesh <​Kadish,​> & smote all the Country of the Amebakites, & <​3/​> also the Amorites Hazezon tomer. <​/​> And there went out the King of Sodom, & the King of Gomorrah, & the King of Admah & the King of Zeboiim, & the King of Bela, which is Zoar; & they Joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim; with Chederlomer<​Chederlamer​> King of Elam, & with Sidel <​Sidal​> King of Nations, And Amrapheel <​Amraphael​> King of Shinar, & Arioch King of Ellasar: four kings with five. And the vale of Siddim was filled with slime Pitts; And the kings of Sodom & Gomorrah fled, & fell there; And they that remained fled to <​4/​> the Mountains which is called Hanabal. <​/​> & they took all the goods of Sodom & Gomorrah, & all their victuals, & went their way. And they took Lot, Abrams brothers Son, who dwelt <​5/​> in Sodom, And his goods, & departed. <​/​> And there came one that had escaped, & told Abram the Hebrew, the man of God; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamree the Amonite, Brother of Eshcol, & brother of Ener; & they <​these​> were confederate with Abram And when Abram heard that Lot his brothers son was taken captive he armed his trained men, & they which were born in his own house, three hundred & eighteen, And pursued unto Dan. <​6/​> And he divided himself against them, he & his men, by night And smote them, & pursued them unto Hobah, which was on the left hand of Damascus. And he brought back Lot his brothers Son, And all his goods, & the women also, & the <​7/​> People. <​/​> & the King of Sodom also went out to meet him after his return from the Slaughter of Chederlaomer, And of the Kings that were with him at the valey of Shaveh, which was the <​8/​> Kings dale. <​/​> And Melchisedek King of Salem brought forth bread & wine; And he break bread & blessed it: And he blessed the wine, he being the Priest of the most High God. And he gave to Abram, & he blessed him, & said, blesed Abraam, thou art a man of the most high God, Possessor of Heaven of <​&​> of Earth; & blessed is the name of the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thine hand. And Abram gave <​9/​> him tihes of all he had taken. <​/​> And the King of Sodom [p. 38] said unto Abram, give me the persons, & take the goods to thyself And Abram said to the King of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the Possessor of Heaven & Earth, & have sworn that I will not <​take​> of thee from from a thread even to a shoe-latchet, & that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shoudest say, I have made Abram rich; save only that which the young men have eaten, & the portion of the men which went with me, Emes <​Emer​>, Eshcol, & Mamre; let <​10/​> them take their portion. <​/​> <​Ch 15th​> And Melchizedeck lifted up his voice, & blessed Abram. Now Melchizedeck was a man of faith, who wrought righteousness; & when a child he feared God, And stop[p]ed the Mouths of lyons, & quenched the violence of fire. And thus, having been approved of God, he was ordained a high Priest, after the order of the covenant which God made with Enoch; it being after the order of the son of God; which order came, not by man, nor the will of man, Neither by Father nor mother; Neither by begining of days, or <​nor​> end of years; but of <​11/​> God. <​/​> And it was delivered unto men by the calling of his own voice, according to his own will; unto as many as believed on his name; for God having sworn unto Enoch, And unto his seed, with an oath, by himself; that every one being ordained after <​this​> order & calling, should have power, by faith, to break Mountains, to divide the Seas, to dry up waters, to turn them out of their course, to put at defiance the armies of Nations, to divide the Earth, to break evry band, to stand in the presence of God; to do all things according to his will, according to his command; subdue principalities & powers, & this by the will of the Son of God, which <​12/​> was from before the foundation of the world. <​/​> And men having this faith, coming up unto this order of God, were translated; And taken up into Heaven. And Now Merchizedeck was a priest of this order; Therefore he obtained peace in Salem, & was called the prince of peace; And his People wrought righteousness, & obtaind obtained Heaven, & sought for the City of Enoch which God had before taken, seperating it from the Earth, having resereved it unto the latter days, and <​or​> the end of the world; & hath & said, & sworn with an oath, that the Heavens, & the Earth, should come together; <​13/​> And the Sons of God should be tried so as by fire. <​/​> And this Melchizedeck havring having thus established righteousness, was called the King of Heaven, by his people, or, in other words, the [p. 39] King of peace. And he lifted up his voice, & he blessed Abram, being the high priest, & the keeper of the storehouse of God; him whom God had appointed to receive tithes for the poor. wherefore, Abram paid unto him tithes of all that he had, of all the riches which he possessed, which God <​14/​> had given him more then that which he had need. <​/​> And it came to pass, that God blessed Abram, & gave unto him riches, & honour, & lands, for an everlasting possession; according to the covenant which he had made, & according to the blessing wherewith Melchizedeck had blessed him.

And it came to pass, that after these things, the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, fear not, Abram; I will be thy shield. I will be thy exceeding great reward. And according to the blessings of my servent I will give <​2/​> unto thee. <​/​> And Abram said, O Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, And Eleazer of Demascus is <​was​> made the stewart of my house. And Abram said, behold to me thou hast given no seed; & Lo!, one born in mine <​3/​> house is mine heir. <​/​> And behold the word of the Lord came unto him, again saying this shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him forth abroad, & he sa[i]d look now towards Heaven, & tell the stars, if thou be able to number them. And he said unto him, so shall thy seed <​4​> be. <​/​> And Abram said, Lord God, how wilt thou give me this land for an everlasting inheritance? And the Lord said, Though thou wast dead, yet am I <​not​> able to give it thee? & if thou shalt die, yet thou shalt possess it. for the day cometh, that the Son of man shall live; but how can he live <​5/​> if he be not dead? he must first be quickened. <​/​> And it came to pass that Abram looked forth & saw the days of the Son of man, & was glad; & his soul found rest, & he believed in the Lord; And the Lord & the Lord counted it unto him for <​6/​> righteousness. <​/​> And the Lord said unto him, I, the Lord, brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldeas, to give thee this land to inherit it <​and Abram Said, Lord, whereby Shall I know that I Shall inherit it?​> yet he believed God. And the Lord said unto [p. 40] Him take <​me​> a heifer <​of​> three years old, And & she goat of three years old, And a ram of three years old, And a turtle dove of <​7/​> three yea & a young Pigeon, <​/​> & he took unto him all these, A And he divided them in the midst, And he laid each piece one against the other; but the birds divided he not. And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away. & when the Son <​Sun​> was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; And Lo!, a great horur of darkn<​8/​>ess fell upon him. <​/​> & the Lord spake, And he said unto Abram, now know of a shurety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land which shall not be theirs. And shall serv <​Serve​> strangers; & they shall be afflicted, & serv <​seve​> <​serve​> them four hundred years; And also, that Nation whom they shall serve, will I Judge; And afterwards shall they come out with <​9/​> great sustanance. <​/​> And thou shalt die, & go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again; for <​10/​> the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. <​10/​> And it came to pass, that when the Sun went down, & it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, & a burning lamp which passed bet ween those pieces which Abraham had divided. <​11/​> And in that <​11/​> same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, unto thy seed have I given this land, from the River of Egypt unto the great River Euphrates; the Renites <​Kenites​>, & the Renazites <​Kenazites​>, & the Hadmonites <​Kadmonites​>, & the Hitites, & the Perezites, & the Rephaimites <​Rephaims​>, & the Amonites <​Amorites​>, & the cananites <​canaanites​>, & the Pergasites <​Girgashites​>, & the Hivites <​Jebusites​>.

Now Sarai, Abrams wife, bear him no Children. And She had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing; I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may <​2/​> obtain Children by her. <​2/​> And Abram hearkened unto the voice of Sarai, <​& Sarai,​> Abrams wife, took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt with ten years in the land of Canaan, <​3/​> & gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. <​3/​> And he went in unto Hagan [Hagar], & she conceived: And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was dispised in her eyes. [p. 41] <​4/​> And Sarai & sarai said unto Abram, my rong is upon thee; I have given my maid unto <​into​> thy bosom; & when she saw that she had conceived, I was dispised in her eyes: the <​5/​> Lord Judge between me & thee. <​5/​> but Abram said unto sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from <​6/​> her face. <​6/​> And an Angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water, in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. And he Said, Hagar, Sarais maid, whence camest thou, And whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from <​7/​> the face of my mistress Sarai. <​7/​> And the Angel of the Lord said unto her, return to thy mistress, And submit thy self under her hands. And the Angel of the Lord said unto her, the Lord will multiply thy Seed exceedinngly, so that it shall not be numbered for multitude. And the Angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, & shalt bear a Son, & shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord has heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; & his hand will be against evry man, And evry mans hand against him; And he shall dwell in the presence of <​8/​> all his brethren. <​8/​> And she called the name of the Angel of the Lord, And he spake unto her, saying, knowest thou that God sent <​seeth​> thee? & she said, I know that God seeth me for I have also here looked after him. And there was a well between Hadesh <​Kadesh​> & Bered, near where Hagar saw the Angel. And the name of the Angel was Beerlahairoi, wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi for a memmorial, <​9/​> And Hagar bear Abram a Son: And Abram called his Sons name, which Hagar bear, Ishmael. And Abram was four <​Score​> & Six years old, when hagar bear Ishmael to Abram

<​1​> And when Abram was ninety & nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram, And said unto him, I, the almighty God, give unto you <​thee​> a commandment that thou shalt walk uprightly before me, And be perfect. And I will make my covenant <​2/​> between me & thee, & will multiply thee exceedingly. <​2/​> And it came to pass, that Abram fell on his face, & called upon the [p. 42] name of the Lord; And God talked with him, saying, my people have gone astray from my precepts, & have not kept mine ordinances, which I gave unto their fathers; And they have not observed mine anointing, & the buriel or baptism wherewith I commanded them; but have turned from the commandment, And taken unto themselves the washing of children, & the blood of sprinkling, And have said that the blood of the righteous Abel was shed for sins, & have not known wherein <​3/​> they are accountable before me. <​3/​> But as for thee, behold, I will make my Covenant with thee, & thou shalt be a father of many Nations. And this covenant I make, that thy children may be known among all Nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be called Abraham; for a Father of many Nations have I made thee. & I will make thee exceedingly fruitfull, And I will make Nations of thee; And Kings shall come up of thee, & of thy <​4/​> seed. <​4/​> And I will establish a covenant of circumcision with thee, And it shall by my covenant between me & thee & thy seed after theee, in their generations; that thou mayest know forever, that children are not accountable before me, untill they are eight years old. And thou shalt observe to keep all my covenants wherein I covenanted with thy Fathers; & thou shalt keep the commandments which I have given thee with mine own mouth, And I will be a God unto thee & thy seed after thee; And I will give unto thee, & thy seed after thee, a land wherein thou art a stranger; all the land of Canaan, for an <​5/​> everlasting possession: & I will be their God. <​5/​> And God said unto Abraham, therefore thou shalt keep my covenant, thou, & thy seed after thee, in their generations. & this shall be my covenant, which ye shall keep between me & thee, And thy seed after thee; evry man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; And it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me & you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, evry man Child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, & he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: & my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting [p. 43] Covenant. And the uncircumcised man child, whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant <​6/​> And God said unto Abraham, as for Sarai, thy wife, thou thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah thou shalt call her name. And I will bless her, & I will give thee a Son of her; yea, I will bless her, & she shall be blessed; thee the Mother of Nations; Kings & people shall be of her. Then abraham fell on his face And rejoiced, & said in his heart, there shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old. And Sarah that is Ninety <​years old​> shall <​7/​> bear <​7/​> And Abraham said unto God oh that Ishmael might might live uprightly before thee! And God said Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son, & thou shalt call his name Isaac; & I will establish my covenant with him also for an everlasting covenant with his seed after him, And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; Behold, I have blessed him, & will make him fruitfull, & will multiply him exceedingly; twelve Princes shall he beget, & I will make him a great Nations. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee, at this set time in the next year; And he left off talking <​8/​> with him: <​8/​> And God went up from Abraham. <​8/​> And Abraham took Ishmael his son, & all that were born in his house, & all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abrahams house; & circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the self same day, as God had said unto <​9/​> him. <​9/​> And abraham was ninety & nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. And Ishm ael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. In the self same day Abraham was circumcised, & Ishmael his son; & all the men of his house, which were born in his house, & bought with money of strangers, they were also circumsiced with him

And the Lord appeared unto Abraham, in the plain of Mamree; And he sat in his tent door in the heat of the [p. 44] day, And he lifted up his eyes & looked, & lo, three men stood by him; And when he saw, he ran to See meet them, from his tent door, And bowed himself toward the ground, And said, my brethren, if now I have found favour in yours eyes Sight, pass not away, I pray you, from thy Servent; let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, & wash your feet, And rest yourselves under the tree; And I will fetch a morsol of bread, & comfert ye your hearts, after that you shall pass on; for therefore are ye come to <​2/​> your Servent. <​2/​> And they said, so do, as thou hast said. And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, And said, make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead, & make cakes upon the hearth. And Abraham ran unto the heard, And fetched a Calf, tender and good, And gave it unto a young man; And he hasted to dress it. And he took butter, & milk, & the calf which <​he​> hed [had] dressed, And set before them; & he stood by them under the tree. And they did <​3/​> eat. <​3/​> & they said unto him, where is Sarah thy wife? & he said, behold, in the tent. & one of them blessed Abraham; And he said, I will establish certainly return unto thee from my Journey, & lo, according to the time of life, & Sarah <​4/​> thy wife shall have a Son. <​4/​> And Sarah heard him in the <​4/​> tent door. <​4/​> And now Abraham & Sarah being old, & stricken in age; therefore it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women, therefore Sarah laughed within herself, Saying, after I have waxed old shall I have pleasure, in <​in​> <​5/​> my Lord, being <​old​> also? <​5/​> And the Angel of the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, shall I of ashur shurety bear a Child, which am old? is any thing to hard for the Lord? at the time appointed, behold I will return unto thee from my Journey, which the Lord hath sent me; And according to the time of life, thou mayest know that Sarah shall have a Son. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And she <​he​> said, nay; but thou <​6/​> didst laugh. <​6/​> And the Angel<​s​> rose up from thence, & looked towards Sodom; And Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. And the Angel of the Lord said, shall I hide from Abraham that thing which the Lord will do for him; seeing that Abraham shall shurely become a great & mighty Nation, & all the Nations of the [p. 45] Earth shall be blessed in him? for I know him, that he will command his Children, & his household after him, And they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do Justice & Judgement; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he has <​7/​> spoken of him. <​7/​> & the Angel of the Lord said unto Abraham, the Lord said unto us, Because the cry of Sodom & gomorah is great, & because their sin is very grievious, I will destroy them. & I will send <​you,​> & ye shall go down now, And <​see​> that their iniquitise are rewarded unto them. And ye shall have all things done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come up unto me. And if ye do it not, it shall be upon your heads; for I will destroy them, And you shall know that I will do it, for it shall be before your eyes. And the Angels, which were holy men, & were sent forth after the order of God, turned their faces from thence <​8/​> & went toward Sodom. <​8/​> But Abraham stood yet before the Lord, remembering the things which had been told him. And Abraham drew near to Sodom, And said unto the Lord, calling upon his name, <​saying​>, wilt <​thou​> destroy the righteous with the wicked? wilt thou not spare them? peradventure there may be fifty righteous within the city, wilt thou also destroy And not spare the place for the fifty righteous that may be therein? oh! may that be far from from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked; And that the righteous should be as the wicked. oh! God, may that be far from thee, for shall not <​9/​> the Judge of all the Earth do right? <​9/​> And the Lord said unto Abraham, if thou findest in Sodom, fifty righteous within the City, then I will spare all this place for their sakes. And Abraham answered & said, behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord which is able to destroy the City And lay all the people in dust And ashes; will the Lord spare them peradventure there lack five of the fifty righteous; wilt thou destroy all the City for their wickeness, if I find there forty & five righteous? & he said, I will not destroy, but spare them. And he spake unto him again & said peradventure there should be forty found there? & he said I will not d[e]stroy it for forty’s sake. And he said again unto the Lord, oh, let not the Lord be angery, & I will speak; peradventure there [p. 46] shall thirty be found there? And he said, I will not destroy them if thou shalt find thirty there. And he said, behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord; wilt thou destroy peradventure there shall be twenty found there? And he said I will not destroy them for twentys. sake & Abraham said unto the Lord, Oh! let not the Lord be angery & I will yet speak <​but​> this time once; peradventure ten shall be found there? And the Lord said, I will not destroy them for tens. sake. And the Lord ceased speaking with Abra<​10/​>ham. <​10/​> And as soon as he had left communing with the Lord, Abraham went his way; & it came to pass that Abraham returned unto his tent. <​1​>

<​ch 19th​> And it came to pass, that there came two <​three​> Angels to sodom in the evening: And Lot sat in the door of his house in the City of Sodom. And Lot, seeing the Angels, rose up to meet them; & he bowed himself toward the ground; And he said, Behold now, my Lords, turn in now I pray you, into your servents house, And tarry all night, And wash your feet, & ye shall rise up <​2/​> early, & go on your ways. <​2/​> And they said, nay: but we will abide in the streets all night. And he pressed upon them, greatly; And they turned in unto him, & entered into his house; And he made them a feast, And did bake unleavened bread, And they did eat. But before they lay down to rest, the men of the City of Sodom compassed the house about <​round,​> [ev]en men which were both old & young, even the people <​3/​> [f]rom evry quarter: <​3/​> And they called unto Lot, & said unto him, where are the men which came in unto thee this night? <​3/​> bring them out unto us, that we may know them. <​3/​> And Lot went out of the door, unto them, And shut the door after him; And said, I pray you brethren, do not so wickedly. & they said unto him stand back. & they were angery with him. And they said among themselves, this one man came in to sojourn among us, And he will needs now make himself to be a Judge; now we will deal worse with him, then with them. Wherefore they said unto the man, we will have the man <​men​>, And thy daughters also; & we will do unto them <​4/​> as seemeth good. <​4/​> Now this was after the wickedness of Sodom, and Lot said, Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man, let me I pray you plead with [p. 47] my brethren, that I may not bring them out unto you, & ye shall not do unto them as seemeth good in your eyes; for God will not Justify his servent in this thing; wherefore let me plead with my brethren, this once only, that unto these men ye do nothing, that they may have peace in my house; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. <​5/​> And they were angery with Lot, And came near to brake the door, but the Angels of God, which were holy men, put forth their hand, & pulled Lot into the house unto them, & shut the door. And they smote the men with blindness both small & great, that they could not come at the door And they were angery, so that they wearied themselves to <​6/​> find the door And could not find it. <​6/​> And these holy men said unto Lot, hast thou any here besides thy sons in law & thy sons sons, And thy daughters? And they commanded Lot, saying, whatsoever thou hast in the City, thou shalt bring out of this place, for we will destroy this place; because the cry of them is waxen great: And their abominations have come up before the face of <​the​> Lord; & the Lord <​7/​> hath sent us to destroy it. <​7/​> And lot went out & spake [unt]o his sons in law, (which maried his daughters) And said, up get ye out of this place, for the Lord will destroy this City but he seemed as one that mocked, unto his sons in law. And when the morning was come, the Angels arose, & hastened lot, Saying, arise, take thy wife & thy [two] daughters which are here lest thou be consumed in [the] iniquity of the City. And while he lingered the Angels laid hold upon his hand And upon the hand of his wife, & upon the hand of his two daughters, the Lord being merciful unto them; And they brought them forth & set them down without the City.

<​8/​> And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that they said unto them, escape for your lives; look not back behind you, Neither stay you in all the plain; escape to the Mountains, lest you be consumed. <​2 <​9​>/​> & lot <​9/​> said unto one of them, oh not so my Lord. [p. 48] Behold now, thy servent has found grace in thy sight, And thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saveing my life; & I cannot escape to the Mountain, lest some evil overtake me, & I die. behold now, here is another City, And this is near to flee unto, & it is a little one; Oh,! let me escape thither, & may not destroy <​10/​> it, & my Soul shall live. <​10/​> And the Angel said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this City, for the which thou hast spoken, haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing untill thou be come thither. & the name of the <​11/​> City was called Zoar, <​11/​> therefore the Sun was even <​risen​> upon <​11/​> the Earth when Lot entered into Zoar. <​11/​> And the Lord did not destroy Sodom untill Lot had entered into Zoar; & then, when Lot had entered into Zoar, the Lord rained upon Sodom & upon Gomorrah, fire & brimstone for the Angel<​s​> called upon the name of the Lord for brimstone & fire, from the Lord out of Heaven; And thus they overthrew those Cities, & all the plain, & all the inhabitants of the Cities, & that which <​12/​> grew upon the ground. <​12/​> But it came to pass, that when Lot fled, his wife looked back from behind him, & beca[me] <​13/​> a pillar of Salt. <​13/​> And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord; & he looked toward Sodom & Gomorrah, & toward all the land of the plain; & behold, lo! the Smoke of the Country went up <​14/​> as the smoke of a furnace. <​14/​> And it came to pass, that, when God had destroyed the Cities of the plain, that God spake unto Abraham, Saying, I have remembered Lot, And sent him out of the midst of the overthrow, that thy brother might not be destroyed, when I overthrew the City in the which thy <​15/​> Brother Lot dwelt And Abraham was comforted <​15/​> & Lot went up out of Zoar, And dwelt in the Mountain, & his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar. And he dwelt in a Cave, he & his two daughters. And the first born dea[lt] wickedly, And said unto the younger, our father has become old, & we have not a man on the Earth, to come in unto us, to live with us, after the manner of all that live on the Earth; therefore, come, let us make our father drink wine, And we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father [p. 49] And they done wickedly, & made their father drink wine that night; And the first born went in & lay with her father; & he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she <​16/​> arose. <​16/​> & it came to pass on the morrow, that the first born said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yester night with my father; let us make him drink wine this night also: & go thou in & lay with him, that we may preserve seed of our father And they made their father drink wine that night also; & the younger arose, & lay with him; & he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she rose arose, thus were both the daughters of Lot with Child by their <​17/​> father. <​17/​> And the first born bear a Son, Aand called his name Moab; the father of the Moabites, the same which is unto this day. And the younger, she also bear a son, & called his name Ben ammi; the father of the Children of which, are Ammonites <​Amiinites​>; the same which are unto this day.

<​1​> And Abraham Journeyed from thenc[e] toward the South country, And dwelt between Kadish <​Kadesh​> & Shur, And Sojourned in Gerar, & Abraham said again to <​of Sarah​> his wife, she is my Sister; & Abimalech, King of Gerar, sent & took Sarah, but God came to Abimalech in a dream by night, & said unto him, behold, thou hast taken <​a which <​woman​>​> which is not thine own; for she is Abrahams wife. And the Lord said unto him, thou shalt return her unto Abraham, for if thou do it not thou shalt die, And Abimelech had <​2/​> not come near her; for the Lord had not suffered him. <​2/​> And he said, Lord, wilt thou Slay h me, & also a righteous Nation? Behold, said he not unto me, she is my sister? And she, even she herself said, he is my brother; And in the integrity of my <​3/​> <​heart,​> & innocency of my hands have I done this <​3/​> And God said unto him in a dream dream, yea, I know that thou didst do this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sining against me, therefore suffered I not thee to touch her now Therefore, restore the mans wife <​to him​> for he is a Prophet, And he shall pray for thee, & thou shalt live; & if thou return her not to him, know thou that thou <​4/​> shalt shurely die; thou, & all that are thine, <​4/​> therefore [p. 50] Abimelech arose early in the morning, & called his servents, & And told all these things in their ears; & the men were sore affraid, then Abimelech called Abraham, & said unto him, what hast thou done unto us? & in what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me & <​on​> my Kingdom a great sin? thou hast done things unto me that ought not to be done, And Abimelech said unto Abraham, what Sawest thou that <​5/​> thou hast done this thing? <​5/​> And Abraham said, because I thought asshuredly the fear of God was not in this place; And they would slay me for my wifes sake, And yet indeed she was my sister; she was the daughter of my Father, but not the daughter of my Mother; And she became my wife And it came to pass when God caused me to wander from my fatherinlaw <​father’s​> house, that I said unto her, this shall be thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place <​6/​> whither we shall come, say of me, he is my brother. <​6/​> And Abimelech took Sheep & Oxen, & men Servents, <​&​> women Servents, & And gave unto Abraham, And restored unto him Sarah his wife And Abimalech said, Behold, my Land layeth befor[e] thee; dwell where it pleaseth thee & unto Sarah he said, behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, he shall give unto thee a covering of the eyes, And it shall be a token unto all, that thou mayest not be taken again from Abraham <​7/​> thy husband, And thus she was reproved <​7/​> So Abraham prayed unto God; And God healed Abimelech, & his wife, & his maid Servents; & they bear unto him Children for because of Sarah, Abrahams wife, the Lord had fast closed up their <​all​> <​the​> wombs of the house of Abimelech

<​1​> And the Lord restored <​visited​> Sarah, as he had said, & the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken by the mouth of his Angels: for sarah conceived And bear Abraham a son in his old age, at the set <​2/​> time of which the Angels of God had spoken to him. <​2/​> And Abraham called his <​the​> name of his Son that was born unto him, which Sarah bear unto him, Isaach. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him, And Abraham was an Hundred years old, when his <​3/​> son Isaac was born unto him. <​3/​> And sarah said, God has made [p. 51] me to rejoice; And also all that know me will rejoice with me, <​&​> she said unto Abraham, Who would have said that Sarah should have given children suck? For I was barren, but the Lord promised, <​4/​> And I have borne unto Abraham a Son in his old <​4/​> age. <​4/​> And the Child grew; & was weaned and the day that Isaac was weaned, Abimalech Abraham made a great feast, & sarah saw the Son of Hagar, the Egyptian, which she bear Hagar had borne unto Abraham, mocking; and she was troubled, wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bond woman & her son; for the son of this bond woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac. & this thing was very grieveous <​5/​> unto Abraham, because of his son. <​5/​> And God said unto Abraham let <​let​> it not be grieveious in thy sight, because of the Lad, & be[c]ause of thy bond woman; in all that Sarah has said unto thee, hearken unto thy <​her​> voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called, And also of the <​Son​> of the bond woman will I make a Nation, <​6/​> because he is thy seed. <​6/​> & Abraham rose up early in the morning & took bread, & a bottle of water, & gave unto Hagar; And she took the Child, & he sent her away; & she departed, & wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. And it came to pass that the water was spent in the bottle, & she cast the child under one of the shrubs, & she went, & sat her down over against the child, a good way off, as it were a bowshot; for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against the <​7/​> child, And lifted up her voice & wept. <​7/​> And God heard the voice of the Lad; and the Angel of the Lord called unto <​to​> Hagar out of Heaven, And said unto her, “What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he layeth; arise, lift up the lad, & hold him in thine hand, for I will make <​of​> him a great Nation. And God opened her eyes, & she saw a well of water; and she went & filled the bottle with water, <​8/​> & gave the lad drink. <​8/​> And God was with the lad; & he grew, & dwelt in the wilderness, And became an archer, & he dwelt in the wilderness of haran <​Paran​>, he & his mother. And he took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. And it came to pass, at the time that Abimelech, & Phical the chief captain of his host, spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest; now therefore, swear unto me here, that, by the help of God thou wilt not deal falsly with me, [p. 52] Nor with my Son, nor with my sons son; but, that according to the kindness that I have shewn unto thee, thou shalt do <​9/​> unto me, And to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. <​9/​> & Abraham said, I will swear, & Abraham reproved Abimelech, because of a will <​well​> of water, which Abimelechs Servents had recently taken away & Abimelech said, thou didst not tell me; And I knew not who has done this thing; Nether yet have I <​10/​> heard that it was done, untill this day. <​10/​> And Abraham took sheep & Oxen, & gave them unto Abimelech: And both of them made a covenant. And Abraham set Seven Ewe lambs of the flock by themselves And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What wilt thou do with these seven Ewe lambs, which thou hast set by themselves? And he said, seven Ewe lambs shalt thou take at my hand, that they may be a witness unto me that I have digged this well And because they swear, both of them, Wherefore he called that place Beersheba, <​& thus they made a covenant at Bersheba​> Then <​11/​> Abimelech, & Phical, the chief Captain of his host, rose up, & they planted a grove in B†eersheba, And called there on the name of the Lord: And they returned unto the land of the <​12/​> Philistines <​12/​> And Abraham worshiped the everlasting God, & & sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days,

<​1​> And it came to pass, after these things, that God did try Abraham, And said unto him, Abraham: And Abraham said, Behold here am I <​& the Lord​> Lake <​take​> now thy son, thenee thine only Isaac, whom thou lovest, & get thee into the land of Moriah; & offer him there for a burnt offering, upon one of the Mountains <​2/​> of which I will tell thee. <​2/​> And Abraham rose up early in the morning, And saddled his ass, And took two of his young men with him, And Isaac his son, & clave the wood for the burnt offering; & rose up, & went unto the place of which God <​3/​> had told him. <​3/​> then on the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes & saw the place afar off. And Abraham said unto his young men, abide you here with the Ass, And I, & the lad will go younder & worship, & come to you again. & Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, & laid it upon his back; & he took the fire in his hand, And a knife; & Isaac his [p. 53] <​4/​> Son; And they went both of them together, <​4/​> & Isaac spake unto Abraham, his father, & said, My father! & he said, here am I, my Son, And he said, Behold the fire & the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. so they went, both of them together; & they came to <​5/​> the place of which God had told him. <​5/​> & Abraham built an Altar there, & laid the wood in order, & bound Isaac his son, & laid him on the Altar upon the wood, & Abraham stretched forth his hand, & took the knife to slay his son, & the Angel of the Lord called unto him out of Heaven, & said, Abraham! Abraham! And Abraham said, here am I. And the Angel said, lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him; for now, I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only <​6/​> Isaac, from me, <​5 <​6​>/​> And Abraham lifted up his eyes & looked, & Behold, <​behind​> a thicket, there was a Ram caught in it by his horns. And Abraham went & took the Ram, & offered him up for a burnt offering, in the stead of his Son. And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah jireh <​Jirah,​> as it is said unto <​7/​> this day, & <​in​> the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. <​7/​> And the Angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of Heaven the second time, And said, thus saith the Lord, I have sworn by myself, that because thou hast done this thing, And hast not with held thy son, thine only Isaac, from me; that in blessings I will bless thee; And in multiplying I will multiply thee <​thy​> seed as the stars of Heaven, & as the sand which is upon the sea shore; And thy seed shall possess the gate of the enemy of his enemies; And in thy Seed shall all the Nations of the <​8/​> Earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice, <​8/​> So Abraham returned unto his young men, And they rose up <​9/​> & went to Beersheba; And Abraham dwelt at Beersheba. <​9/​> And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham saying, Behold Milcha, She has also borene children unto thy brother Nahor; Huz is his first born; And Buz is his brother, & Kemuel is the father of Aram & Chesed, Hazo, & Bildash, & Sidlaph, & Bethuel. And Bethuel begat Rebecha These Eight Milcha did bear to Nahor, Abrahams brother; & his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bear also [p. 54] Tebah, & Gaham, & Thahasel & Maachah,

<​1​> And Sarah was an Hundred & seven <​&​> twenty years old, & she died, & thus ended the years of the life of Sarah. And sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same is now called Hebron, in the land of Canaan & Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, & to weep for her (his wife) which was dead. <​2/​> And Abraham stood up from before his dead, & spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, I am a stranger And a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that <​4/​> thou mayest bury <​thy​> dead. <​4/​> And Abraham stood & bowed himself to the people of the land, & to the Children of Heth; And he com muned with them, saying, if it be your minds that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, And entreat Ephron the son of Zohar for me; that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath in the end of his field; for, as much money as it is worth, he shall have, if he will give it me <​5/​> for a possession of a burying place among you. <​5/​> And Ephron <​5/​> dwelt among the Children of Heth. <​5/​> And Ephron, the Hittite, answered Abraham in the Audience of the Children of Heth, among all of them that went in at the gates of the <​his​> City saying, hear ken my Lord, & hear me; the field I give thee, & the cave that is therein, I give it thee in the presence of the Sons of my <​6/​> people; And I give it thee; therefore bury thy dead. <​6/​> And Abraham bowed down <​himself​> before the people of the land; And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, Saying, I pray thee hear me; if thou wilt take it of me, I will give thee money for the field, And I will bury my <​7/​> dead there; but I will give thee money for it. <​7/​> & Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him, my lord, hearken unto me; the land thou shalt have for four hundred sheckles of silver, what shall that be betwixt me & thee? Bury therefore <​8/​> thy dead. <​8/​> And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron, and [p. 55] Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred sheckels of silver, which was current with the merchant. And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamree; the field, & the cave which was therein, And all the trees which that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made shure unto Abraham for a possession; in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went on <​in​> at the gate of the City, <​9/​> And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which is before mamre; the same is called Hebron, in the land of Canaan. & the field & the cave that was therein, was <​were​> made shure unto Abraham for a possession of a burying place, by the sons of Heth—

<​1​> And now Abraham was old, being well stricken in age: And the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. And Abraham said unto his eldest servent of his house, that ruled over all that he had; put forth I pray thee, thy hand under my hand, And I will make thee swear before the Lord, the God of Heaven, And the God of the Earth; that thou shalt not take a wife unto my Son, of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; But, thou shalt go unto my Country <​2/​> & to my kindred, And take a wife unto my Son Isaac. <​2/​> And the servent said unto him, perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land, then I must needs bring thy Son again unto the land from wence thou <​3/​> camest. <​3/​> And Abraham said unto him, beware thou, that thou bring not my Son thither again, the Lord God of Heaven which took me from my fathers House, And from the land of my kindred; And which spake unto me; And that swear unto me, saying unto thee will I give this land; he shall send his Angel before thee, And thou shalt take a wife unto my Son from thence. And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this thy oath, only bring not my Son thither again. [p. 56] <​4/​> And the servent put his hand, under the hand of Abraham <​4/​> his master, And swore to him concerning this <​that​> matter. <​4/​> And the servent took ten Camels of his masters, And departed; for all the goods of his master was in his hand. And he arose, & went to Mesopotamia, unto the City of Nahor. And he made his camels to kneel down without the City, by a well of water, at evening, <​at​> the time that women go out to draw water. And he said, Oh, Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, this day, that thou wouldest show kindness to my Master Abraham, & send me good speed. Behold, I stand by the well of water, And the daughters of <​the​> men of the City come out to draw water; And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy Pitcher I pray thee, that I may drink; And she shall say, drink, & I will give thy Camels drink also; Let her be the one whom thou hast appointed for thy servent Isaac; And thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindnes unto my master. <​4 <​5​>/​> And it Came to pass, Before he had done speaking, that Behold, Rebeckah came out, who was born at <​to​> Bethuel, son of Milcha, the wife of Nahor, Abrahams. brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. And the damsel being a Virgin very fair to look upon, such as the servent of Abraham had not seen, neither had any man known the like unto her; And she went down to the well, And filled her <​6/​> pitcher, & came up. <​6/​> & the Servent ran to meet her, And said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher & she said, Drink, my lord; And she hasted, & let down her pitcher upon her hand, & gave him drink. And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy Camels also, untill they have done drinking. And she has ted, & emptied her pitcher into the trough: And ran again unto the well to draw, & drew for all his Camels. And the man wondering at her, held his peace, pondering in his heart whether the lord had made his Journey prosperous or not, <​7/​> And it came to pass, as the Camels had done drinking, that the man took a Gold ear ring of half a sheckles <​shekels​> weight, And two bracelets for her hands, of ten shekels weight of Gold, And said, Whose daughter art thou, tell me I pray thee? And is there room in thy fathers house for us to lodge in? [p. 57] And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the Son of Milcha, which she bar unto Nahor, she said, moreover, unto him, we have both straw & provender enough, And <​8/​> room to lodge in. <​8/​> & the man bowed down his head, & worsheped the Lord. And he said, blessed is the Lord God of my Master Abraham, who has not left my master destitute of his mercy & his truth; And when I was in the way, the <​9/​> the Lord led me to the house of my masters brethren. <​9/​> And the damsel ran to the house, & told her mother these things. And Rebecha had a brother, whose name was Laban; And Laban ran out to the man, unto the well. And it came to pass, when he saw the earrings, & braceletts upon his sisters hands, And when he heard the words of his sister Rebeckah his sister, saying, thus spake the man unto me, And <​I​> came unto the man, And Rebecha <​Behold​>, he stood by <​10/​> the Camels at the well. <​10/​> And he said, come in thou blessed of the Lord; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, & room for the Camels. And the man <​10/​> came into the house, <​10/​> And he unburdened his Camels, And gave straw & provender for the Camels, And water to wash his feet, And the mens feet that came with him, And there was set before him food to eat; but he said, I will not eat untill I have told mine errand. And Laban said, speak on. And he said, I am Abrahams servent. And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly, And he is become great; And he hath given him flocks, & heards, And silver, & gold; And men servents, & maid servents, & Camels, <​11/​> & Asses. <​11/​> And Sarah, my masters wife, bear a son to my master when she was old; And unto him hath he given all that he hath. And my master made me swear, saying, thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell; but thou shalt go unto my fathers house, And to my kindred, & take a wife unto my son. And I said unto my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me. me And he said unto me, the Lord, before whom I walk, will send his Angel with thee, And he will prosper thy way; & thou shalt take a wife for my Son, of my kindred, And of my fathers house; then shalt thou be clear of my oath. when thou [p. 58] comest to my kindred, and if they give the not a wife for <​12/​> my son, thou shalt be clear from my oath. <​12/​> and I came this day unto the will, and said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, if now thou wilt prosper my way which I go, behold i stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the vergin cometh forth to draw water, and i say to her, Give me i pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink; and if she say to me, Both drink thou, and I also will <​also​> draw for thy camels; the same is the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my masters son. and before I had done speaking in my mine <​my​> heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shol<​13/​>der; and she went down unto the well, and drew water, <​13/​> and I said unto her let me drink, I pray thee; and she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, so I drank, and she made the camels drink also, and I asked her, and said, whose daughter art thou? and she said, the daughter of Bethuil, Nahors son, whom Milcah bear unto him. And I gave the ear rings unto her, to put into her <​14/​> ears; and the bracelets upon her hands, <​14/​> And I bowed down my head, and worsheped the lord, and blessed the Lord god of my master Abraham, which <​who​> had led me in the rite way to take my brothers masters <​brothe[r’]s daughter​> unto his son.

Thus saith the lord God of my fathers unto me, a <​seer​> choise <​seer​> s will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins, and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins. And unto him will I give commandment, that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren; and he shall bring them to the knowlede of the covenents which I have made with thy father; and he shall do whatsoever work I shall command him. and I will make him great in my <​mine​> eyes; for he shall do mine <​my​> work; and he shall be great like unto him whom I have said I would raise up unto you, to deliver my people, o house of Israel, out of the land <​27/​> of Egypt; <​/​> for a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy lines, do deliver my people out of the land of Egypt; and <​he​> shall be called Moses, and by this name he shall know that he is of thy house, for he shall be nursed by the Kings daughter and shall be called her <​27/​> son. <​27/​> and again, a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy lines <​loines​>, and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins; and not to <​th​> bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord, but to the convincing <​them​> of my word, which shall have already have gone forth among them in the last days. wherefore, the fruit of my <​thy​> loins shall write, and the fruit of the loines of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loines, and also that which shall be writen by the fruit of the loins of Judah shall grow to [p. 64]gether unto the confounding of fals doctorings, and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loines, and bringing them to the knowlede of there fathers in the latter days; and also to <​the Knowledge of​> my covenants, saith the Lord. and out of weekness shall be made strong, in the <​that​> latter day when my work shall go forth among all my people, which shall restore them who are of the house of Israel in the last days. and that seer will I bless, and they that seek to distroy him shall be confoundid; for this promise I give unto you, for I will remember you from generation to generation; and his name shall be called Joseph, and it shall be after the name of his Father; and he shall be like unto you; for the thing which the Lord shall bring forth by his hand, shall bring my peo<​28/​>ple unto salvation. <​28/​> And the Lord sware unto Joseph, that he would preserve his seed forever, saying, I will raise up moses. and a rod shall be in his hand, and he shall gather together my people; and he shall lead them as a flock, and he shall smite the waters of the Red sea with his rod. And he shall have Judgment, and shall write the lord <​word​> of the Lord, and he shall not speek many words, for I will write unto him my law, by the finger of mine own hand. and I will make a spokesman for him, and his <​29/​> name shall be called Aaron <​29/​> and it shall be done unto thee in the last days also, even as I have sworn. Therefore, Joseph said unto his brethren, God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land, unto the land which he sware unto Abraham, and to Isaac, and to <​30/​> Jacob. <​30/​> and Joseph confermed many other things unto his brethren, and took an oath of the Children of Israel, saying unto them, god will <​surely​> visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. so Joseph died, when he was an hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and they put him in a coffin in Egypt; and he was kept from burial, by the Children of Israel, that he might be carried up and laid in the sepulchar with his fathers, and thus they remebered the oath which they sware unto him.

" Verse 1 And the Lord was not pleased with Solomon, for he made affinity with Pharaoh, King of Egyp; and took Pharaoh Daughter to wife, and brought her into the City <​house​> of David, untill he had made an end of building, his own house, and the house of the Lord and the wall of Jerusalem round about; and the Lord blessed solomon for the People<​s​> sake only. And the people sacrifised in high places, becaus there was no house built unto the name of the Lord, until those days. And because the Lord blessed Solomon as he was walking in the statutes of David his Father, he began to Love the Lord; & he sacrifised and burnt incense in high places, and he called on the name of the Lord. And the King went to Gibeon to sacrifise there, for Gibeon was in a great high place; and Solomon offered upon that alter, in Gibeon, a thousand <​burnt​> offerings. And the Lord <​God​> harkened unto Solomon, and appeared unto him by <​in a​> dream by night, and said, ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said, thou hast shewed unto my <​thy​> Servant David my Father, great things according to my <​thy​> mercy, when he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness and in uprghtness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, <​that​> thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne this day. and now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant King, instead of David my Father, over thy people; and I know not how to leave <​lead​> them, for to leave go out or come in before them; and thy servant am as a little child, in the mids of thy people whom thou hast chosen, a great people that cannot be nubered, nor counted for multitude

But I will take the kingdom out of his sons hand, and will give unto thee ten tribes. And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway be fore me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me, to put my name thare.

[p. 83] For the wicked bend there bow; low, they make ready the[i]r arrow upon the string, <​that​> they may privaly shoot at the upright in heart to destroy there foundation. Bud the foundations of the wicked shall be destroyed, and what can they do? for the lord when he shall come into his holy temple, sitting upon Gods throne in heaven, his eyes shall pierce the wicked. behold his eyes leds shall try the children of men, and he shall redeem the righteous, and they shall be tryed, The Lord loveth the righteous; but the wicked, and he <​him​> that loveth violence, his soul hateth.

In that day thou shalt help, <​O​> Lord, the poor and the meek of the earth, For the Godly man shall cease to be found, and the faithful fail from among the children <​of men,​> They shall speak vanity evry one of <​with​> his neighbor. With flattering lips, with a double heart do they speak; but the Lord shall cut off all flattering Lips, the toung that speaketh proud things, who have said, with our tongue we will <​we​> prevail, our lips are <​are​> own, who shall be Lord over us? therefore, thus saith the Lord, I will arise in that day, I will stand upon the earth, and I will judge the earth for the oppression of the poor, for the sigh<​ing​> of the needy; and there cry hath entered into mine ear, therefore the Lord shall sit in judgment, upon all those who say in there hearts, We all sit in safety; and puffeth at him These are the words of the lord; yea, pureword, like silver tryed in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt save thy people, O Lord; thou shalt keep them; thou shalt preserve them from the wickedness of this <​of these​> generations for ever, and ever The wicked walk on evry side, and the vilest men are exalted; but in the day of there pride thou shalt visit them.

How long, O Lord, wilt thou withdraw thyself from me? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me that I may not see thee? [p. 84] wilt thou forget me, and cast me off from thy presence for ever? how long shall I take council in my soul, sorrowing in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? Consider me, O lord; and here <​hear​> my cry, o my God; and lighten mine eyes, least I sleep the Death of the ungodly; lesst <​least​> mine enemy say, I have prevaild against him. Those that troubled <​trouble​> me, rejoice when I am mooved; but I have trusted in thy mercy, my heart shall rijoice in thy salvation.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no man that hath seen God, because he sheweth him self not unto us, therefore there is no God. behold they are corrupt; they have done abominable works and none of them doeth good, For the Lord look down from heaven upon the children of men, and by his voice said unto his servant, seek ye among the children of men, to see if there are any that do understand God. And he opened his mouth unto the Lord, and said; behold, all these who say they are thine. The lord answerd and said, they are all gone aside, they are to gether become filthy. Thou canst be hold none of these that are doing good, no, not one; <​all​> they have for there teachers, a <​are​> workers of eniquity, and there is no knowledge in them. They <​are they​> who eat up my people, they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. they are in great fear, for God dwels in the generation of the righteous, he is the counsel of the poor, because they are ashamed of the wicked, and flee unto the Lord for there reffuge, Then <​they​> are ashamed of the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his reffuge, O that Zion were established out of heaven, the salvation of Israel.

9 verse, For behold, all ye that do eniquity, stay yourselves and wonder; for ye shall cry out, and cry; yea, yea shall be drunken, but not with wine; ye shall stagger, but not with strong drink;

10 For behold, the Lord hath poured out upon you, the spirit of deep sleep. For behold, ye hath <​have​> closed your eyes, and ye have rejected the prophets, and your rulers; and the seers hath he covered because of your eniquitys.

11 and it shall come to pass, that the Lord god shall bring forth unto you, the words of a book; and they shall be the words of them which have slumbered. And behold, the book shall be sealed; and in the book shall be a revelation from God, from the begining of the world, to the ending thereof. Wherefore, because of the things which are sealed up, the things which are sealed, shall not be delivered in the day of the wickedness and abominations of the people. wherefore, the book shall be kept from them. But, the book shall be delivered unto a man, and he shall deliver the words of the book, which are the words of they <​those​> which have slumbered in the dust; and he shall deliver these words unto another, but the words which are sealed, he shall not deliver, neither shall he deliver the book. For the book shall be sealed by the power of God, and the revelation which was sealed, shall be kept in the book, until the own due time of the Lord, that they may come forth; for, behold, they reveal all things from the foundation of the world, unto the end thereof. And the day cometh, that the words of the book which are <​were​> <​were​> sealed, shall be read upon the house tops; and they shall be read by the power of Christ; and all things shall be revealed unto the children of men which ever hath <​have​> been among the children of men, and which ever will be, even unto the end of the earth. Wherefore, at that day, when the book shall [p. 103] be delivered unto the man of whom I have spoken, the Book shall be hid from the eyes of the world that the eyes of none shall behold it, save it be that three witnesses shall behold it by the power of God, besides him to whom the book shall be delivered; and they shall testify to the truth of the book and the things therein. And there is none other which shall view it, save it, be a few, according to the will of God, to bear testamony of his word unto the Children of men: For <​for​> the Lord God hath said, that the words of the faithful should speak as if it were from the dead. Wherefore the Lord God will procede to bring forth the words of the book; and in the mouth of as many wittnesses as seameth him good will <​he​> establish his word; and wo be unto him that rejecteth the word of God.

But behold, it shall come to pass, that the Lord God shall say unto him to whom he shall deliver the book, take these words which are not sealed, and deliver them to another that he may shew them unto the Learned, saying: read this, I pray thee. And the Learned shall say, bring hither the book, and I will read them; and now, because of the glory of the world, and to get gain, will they say this, and not for the glory of God. And the man shall say, I cannot bring the book, for it is sealed. Then shall the Learned say, I cannot read it, Wherefore it shall come to pass, that the Lord God will deliver again the book and the words thereof, to him that is not Learned; and the man that is not learned, shall say, I am not Learned. Then shall the Lord God say unto him, The Learned shall not read them, for they have rejected them, and I am able to <​do​> mine own work; Wherefore, thou shalt reads the words which I shall give unto thee, [p. 104] Touch not things <​the​> things which are sealed, for I will bring them forth in mine own due time; for I will shew unto the children of men, that I am able to do mine own work, Wherefore, when thou hast read <​the​> words which I have comma nded the <​thee​>, and obtained the witnesses which I have pro mised unto thee, then shalt thou seal up the book again, and hide it up unto me, that I may preserve the words which thou hast not read, until I shall see fit in mine own wisdom, to reveal all things unto the Children of men. For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miriles [miracles]; and I will shew unto the world, that I am the same, yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men, save it be according to their faith.

And again it shall come to pass, that the Lord Shall say unto him that shall read the words that shall be delivered him. Forasmuch as this people draw near unto me with their mouth, and with their Lip do honor me, but have removed their hearts far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precepts of men, therefore, I will procede to do a marvellous work among this people yea, a marvellous work, and a wonder; for the wisdom of their wise and Learned shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent shall be hid. And wo unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, And their works are in the dark; and they say, who seeth us? and who knoweth us? And they also say, Surely, your turning of things upside down, shall be esteemed as the potters clay. But behold, I will shew unto them, saith the Lord of hosts, that I know all their works. For, shall the work say of him that made it, he made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, he had no understanding?, But behold, thus saith the Lord of hosts, I will shew unto the Children of men, that it is not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field; and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest. [p. 105]

And in that day, shall the deaf hear the words of the book; and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness; and the meek also shall increase, and their Joy shall be in the Lord; and the poor among men shall rejoice in the holy one of Israel. For, assuredly as the Lord liveth, they shall see that the terible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for eniquity are cut off; and they that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the Just for a thing of nought. Therefore, thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. But when he seeth his <​his​> children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the holy one of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. They that also that erred in spirit, shall come to understanding, and they that murmed shall learn doctrine.

17 Behold, I had great bitterness instead of peace, but thou hast in love to my soul, saved me from the pit of corruption; for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

19 verse— For I will send my servant unto you, who are blind; yea, a messenger to open the eyes of the blind, and unstop the ears of the deaf; and they shall be— made perfect, notwithstanding their blindness, if they will hearken unto the messenger, the Lords servant. Thou art a people seeing many things but thou observest not; opening the ears to to hear, but thou hearest not. The Lord is not well pleased with such a people, but for his righteousness sake he will magnify the Law, and make it honorable. Thou art a people robbed and Spoiled; thine enemies, all of them, have snared thee in holes, and they have hid thee in prision houses; they have taken thee for a prey, and none delivereth; for a Spoil, and none [p. 107] Saith, Restore. Who among them will give ere unto thee, or hearken and hear thee for the time to come? And who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the Lord, he against whom they have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his Law; therefore he hath poured upon them the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle; and they hath <​have​> set them on fire round about, yet they knew not, and it burned them, yet they Laid it not to heart.

O house of Israel, is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem; or have I no power <​3/​> to deliver? <​3/​> Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the see, I make their river a wilderness; and their fish to stink, because the waters are dried up, [p. 108] and they die because of thirst.

He waketh morning by morning, he waketh mine <​5/​> eare to hear as the Learned. <​5/​> The Lord God hath appointed mine eare, and I was not rebelious, neither turned away back; I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair.
