¹ και συνετελεσθησαν ο ουρανος και η γη και πας ο κοσμος αυτων

² και συνετελεσεν ο θεος εν τη ημερα τη εκτη τα εργα αυτου α εποιησεν και κατεπαυσεν τη ημερα τη εβδομη απο παντων των εργων αυτου ων εποιησεν

³ και ηυλογησεν ο θεος την ημεραν την εβδομην και ηγιασεν αυτην οτι εν αυτη κατεπαυσεν απο παντων των εργων αυτου ων ηρξατο ο θεος ποιησαι

⁴ αυτη η βιβλος γενεσεως ουρανου και γης οτε εγενετο η ημερα εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην

⁵ και παν χλωρον αγρου προ του γενεσθαι επι της γης και παντα χορτον αγρου προ του ανατειλαι ου γαρ εβρεξεν ο θεος επι την γην και ανθρωπος ουκ ην εργαζεσθαι την γην

⁶ πηγη δε ανεβαινεν εκ της γης και εποτιζεν παν το προσωπον της γης

⁷ και επλασεν ο θεος τον ανθρωπον χουν απο της γης και ενεφυσησεν εις το προσωπον αυτου πνοην ζωης και εγενετο ο ανθρωπος εις ψυχην ζωσαν

⁸ και εφυτευσεν κυριος ο θεος παραδεισον εν εδεμ κατα ανατολας και εθετο εκει τον ανθρωπον ον επλασεν

⁹ και εξανετειλεν ο θεος ετι εκ της γης παν ξυλον ωραιον εις ορασιν και καλον εις βρωσιν και το ξυλον της ζωης εν μεσω τω παραδεισω και το ξυλον του ειδεναι γνωστον καλου και πονηρου

¹⁰ ποταμος δε εκπορευεται εξ εδεμ ποτιζειν τον παραδεισον εκειθεν αφοριζεται εις τεσσαρας αρχας

¹¹ ονομα τω ενι φισων ουτος ο κυκλων πασαν την γην ευιλατ εκει ου εστιν το χρυσιον

¹² το δε χρυσιον της γης εκεινης καλον και εκει εστιν ο ανθραξ και ο λιθος ο πρασινος

¹³ και ονομα τω ποταμω τω δευτερω γηων ουτος ο κυκλων πασαν την γην αιθιοπιας

¹⁴ και ο ποταμος ο τριτος τιγρις ουτος ο πορευομενος κατεναντι ασσυριων ο δε ποταμος ο τεταρτος ουτος ευφρατης

¹⁵ και ελαβεν κυριος ο θεος τον ανθρωπον ον επλασεν και εθετο αυτον εν τω παραδεισω εργαζεσθαι αυτον και φυλασσειν

¹⁶ και ενετειλατο κυριος ο θεος τω αδαμ λεγων απο παντος ξυλου του εν τω παραδεισω βρωσει φαγη

¹⁷ απο δε του ξυλου του γινωσκειν καλον και πονηρον ου φαγεσθε απ' αυτου η δ' αν ημερα φαγητε απ' αυτου θανατω αποθανεισθε

¹⁸ και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ου καλον ειναι τον ανθρωπον μονον ποιησωμεν αυτω βοηθον κατ' αυτον

¹⁹ και επλασεν ο θεος ετι εκ της γης παντα τα θηρια του αγρου και παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου και ηγαγεν αυτα προς τον αδαμ ιδειν τι καλεσει αυτα και παν ο εαν εκαλεσεν αυτο αδαμ ψυχην ζωσαν τουτο ονομα αυτου

²⁰ και εκαλεσεν αδαμ ονοματα πασιν τοις κτηνεσιν και πασι τοις πετεινοις του ουρανου και πασι τοις θηριοις του αγρου τω δε αδαμ ουχ ευρεθη βοηθος ομοιος αυτω

²¹ και επεβαλεν ο θεος εκστασιν επι τον αδαμ και υπνωσεν και ελαβεν μιαν των πλευρων αυτου και ανεπληρωσεν σαρκα αντ' αυτης

²² και ωκοδομησεν κυριος ο θεος την πλευραν ην ελαβεν απο του αδαμ εις γυναικα και ηγαγεν αυτην προς τον αδαμ

²³ και ειπεν αδαμ τουτο νυν οστουν εκ των οστεων μου και σαρξ εκ της σαρκος μου αυτη κληθησεται γυνη οτι εκ του ανδρος αυτης ελημφθη αυτη

²⁴ ενεκεν τουτου καταλειψει ανθρωπος τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα αυτου και προσκολληθησεται προς την γυναικα αυτου και εσονται οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν

²⁵ και ησαν οι δυο γυμνοι ο τε αδαμ και η γυνη αυτου και ουκ ησχυνοντο

¹ God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

² The deep's fountains and the sky's windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

³ The waters receded from the earth continually. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.

⁴ The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat's mountains.

⁵ The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

⁶ It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,

⁷ and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

⁸ He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

⁹ but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

¹⁰ He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.

¹¹ The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

¹² He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn't return to him any more.

¹³ It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.

¹⁴ In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

¹⁵ God spoke to Noah, saying,

¹⁶ "Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

¹⁷ Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth."

¹⁸ Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

¹⁹ Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.

²⁰ Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

²¹ Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, "I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike everything living, as I have done.

²² While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
