Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;
God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
Then the LORD/ God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”--
Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
+“Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
So the LORD/ said to him, “Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” And the LORD/ appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him.
If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore {children} to them. Those were the mighty men who {were} of old, men of renown.

Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.
+“Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.
Then the LORD/ said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you {alone} I have seen {to be} righteous before Me in this time.
Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth.
The dove came to him toward evening, and behold, in her beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth.
Now it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first {month,} on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up.
-“While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease.”
