¹ This is the book of the generation of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him to the likeness of God.

² He created them male and female; and blessed them: and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

³ And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot a son to his own image and likeness, and called his name Seth.

⁴ And the days of Adam, after he begot Seth, were eight hundred years: and he begot sons and daughters.

⁵ And all the time that Adam lived came to nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.

⁶ Seth also lived a hundred and five years, and begot Enos.

⁷ And Seth lived after he begot Enos, eight hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.

⁸ And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.

⁹ And Enos lived ninety years, and begot Cainan.

¹⁰ After whose birth he lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and begot sons and daughters.

¹¹ And the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years, and he died.

¹² And Cainan lived seventy years, and begot Malaleel.

¹³ And Cainan lived after he begot Malaleel, eight hundred forty years, and begot sons and daughters.

¹⁴ And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died.

¹⁵ And Malaleel lived sixty-five years, and begot Jared.

¹⁶ And Malaleel lived after he begot Jared, eight hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.

¹⁷ And all the days of Malaleel were eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died.

¹⁸ And Jared lived a hundred and sixty-two years, and begot Henoch.

¹⁹ And Jared lived after he begot Henoch, eight hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

²⁰ And all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died.

²¹ And Henoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Mathusala.

²² And Henoch walked with God: and lived after he begot Mathusala, three hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

²³ And all the days of Henoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

²⁴ And he walked with God, and was seen no more: because God took him.

²⁵ And Mathusala lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech.

²⁶ And Mathusala lived after he begot Lamech, seven hundred and eighty-two years, and begot sons and daughters.

²⁷ And all the days of Mathusala were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died.

²⁸ And Lamech lived a hundred and eighty-two years, and begot a son.

²⁹ And he called his name Noe, saying: This same shall comfort us from the works and labours of our hands on the earth which the Lord hath cursed.

³⁰ And Lamech lived after he begot Noe, five hundred and ninety-five years, and he begot sons and daughters.

³¹ And all the days of Lamech came to seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died. And Noe, when he was five hundred years old, begot Sem, Cham, and Japheth.

¹ And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them.

² The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took themselves wives of all which they chose.

³ And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

⁴ Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown.

⁵ And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times,

⁶ It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart,

⁷ He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.

⁸ But Noe found grace before the Lord.

⁹ These are the generations of Noe: Noe was a just and perfect man in his generations, he walked with God.

¹⁰ And he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth.

¹¹ And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled with iniquity.

¹² And when God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth,)

¹³ He said to Noe: The end of all flesh is come before me, the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy them with the earth.

¹⁴ Make thee an ark of timber planks: thou shalt make little rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without.

¹⁵ And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

¹⁶ Thou shalt make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish the top of it: and the door of the ark thou shalt set in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shalt thou make it.

¹⁷ Behold I will bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, under heaven. All things that are in the earth shall be consumed.

¹⁸ And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt enter into the ark, thou and thy sons, and thy wife, and the wives of thy sons with thee.

¹⁹ And of every living creature of all flesh, thou shalt bring two of each sort into the ark, that they may live with thee: of the male sex, and the female.

²⁰ Of fowls according to their kind, and of beasts in their kind, and of every thing that creepeth on earth according to its kind; two of every sort shall go in with thee, that they may live.

²¹ Thou shalt take unto thee of all food that may be eaten, and thou shalt lay it up with thee: and it shall be food for thee and them.

²² And Noe did all things which God commanded him.
