Gen 1:2 The erth was voyde and emptie ad darcknesse was vpon the depe and the spirite of god moved vpon the water
Gen 1:3 Than God sayd: let there be lyghte and there was lyghte.
Gen 1:4 And God sawe the lyghte that it was good: and devyded the lyghte from the darcknesse
Gen 1:5 and called the lyghte daye and the darcknesse nyghte: and so of the evenynge and mornynge was made the fyrst daye
Gen 1:6 And God sayd: let there be a fyrmament betwene the waters ad let it devyde the waters a sonder.
Gen 1:7 Than God made the fyrmament and parted the waters which were vnder the fyrmament from the waters that were above the fyrmament: And it was so.
Gen 1:8 And God called the fyrmament heaven And so of the evenynge and morninge was made the seconde daye
Gen 1:9 And God sayd let the waters that are vnder heaven gather them selves vnto one place that the drye londe may appere: And it came so to passe.
Gen 1:10 And god called the drye lande the erth and the gatheringe togyther of waters called he the see. And God sawe that it was good
Gen 1:11 And God sayd: let the erth bringe forth herbe and grasse that sowe seed and frutefull trees that bere frute every one in his kynde havynge their seed in them selves vpon the erth. And it came so to passe:

Gen 1:13 and the of the evenynge and mornynge was made the thyrde daye.
Gen 1:14 Than sayd God: let there be lyghtes in ye firmament of heaven to devyde the daye fro the nyghte that they may be vnto sygnes seasons days and yeares.
Gen 1:15 And let them be lyghtes in the fyrmament of heave to shyne vpon the erth. and so it was.
Gen 1:16 And God made two great lyghtes A greater lyghte to rule the daye and a lesse lyghte to rule the nyghte and he made sterres also.
Gen 1:17 And God put them in the fyrmament of heaven to shyne vpon the erth
Gen 1:18 and to rule the daye and the nyghte ad to devyde the lyghte from darcknesse. And god sawe yt it was good:
Gen 1:19 and so of the evenynge ad mornynge was made the fourth daye.
Gen 1:20 And God sayd let the water bryng forth creatures that move and have lyfe and foules for to flee over the erth vnder the fyrmament of heaven.
Gen 1:21 And God created greate whalles and all maner of creatures that lyve and moue which the waters brought forth in their kindes ad all maner of federed foules in their kyndes. And God sawe that it was good:
Gen 1:22 and God blessed them saynge. Growe and multiplye ad fyll the waters of the sees and let the foules multiplye vpo the erth.
Gen 1:23 And so of the evenynge and morninge was made the fyfth daye.
Gen 1:24 And God sayd: leth the erth bring forth lyvynge creatures in thir kyndes: catell and wormes and beastes of the erth in their kyndes and so it came to passe.
Gen 1:25 And god made the beastes of the erth in their kyndes and catell in their kyndes ad all maner wormes of the erth in their kyndes: and God sawe that it was good.
Gen 1:26 And God sayd: let vs make man in oure symilitude ad after oure lycknesse: that he may have rule over the fysh of the see and over the foules of the ayre and over catell and over all the erth and over all wormes that crepe on the erth.
Gen 1:27 And God created man after hys lycknesse after the lycknesse of god created he him: male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them and God sayd vnto them. Growe and multiplye and fyll the erth and subdue it and have domynyon over the fysh of the see and over the foules of the ayre and over all the beastes that move on the erth.
Gen 1:29 And God sayd: se I have geven yow all herbes that sowe seed which are on all the erth and all maner trees that haue frute in them and sowe seed: to be meate for yow
Gen 1:30 and for all beastes of the erth and vnto all foules of the ayre and vnto all that crepeth on the erth where in is lyfe that they may haue all maner herbes and grasse for to eate and even so it was.
Gen 1:31 And God behelde al that he had made ad loo they were exceadynge good: and so of the evenynge and mornynge was made the syxth daye
Gen 2:1 Thus was heave and erth fynished wyth all their apparell:
Gen 2:2 ad i ye seueth daye god ended hys worke which he had made and rested in ye seventh daye fro all his workes which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed ye seventh daye and sanctyfyed it for in it he rested from all his workes which he had created and made.
Gen 2:4 These are the generations of heaven and erth when they were created in the tyme when the LORde God created heaven and erth
Gen 2:5 and all the shrubbes of the felde be fore they were in the erthe. And all the herbes of the felde before they sprange: for the LORde God had yet sent no rayne vpon the erth nether was there yet any man to tylle the erth.
Gen 2:6 But there arose a myste out of the ground and watered all the face of the erth:
Gen 2:7 Then the LORde God shope man even of the moulde of the erth and brethed into his face the breth of lyfe. So man was made a lyvynge soule.
Gen 2:8 The LORde God also planted a garden in Eden from the begynnynge and there he sette man whom he had formed.
Gen 2:9 And the LORde God made to sprynge out of the erth all maner trees bewtyfull to the syghte and pleasant to eate and the tree of lyfe in the middes of the garden: and also the tree of knowlege of good and euell.
Gen 2:10 And there spronge a rever out of Eden to water the garden and thence devided it selfe and grewe in to foure principall waters.
Gen 2:11 The name of the one is Phison he it is that compasseth all the lande of heuila where gold groweth.
Gen 2:12 And the gold of that contre ys precious there is found bedellion and a stone called Onix.
Gen 2:13 The name of the seconde ryver is Gihon which compassyth all the lande of Inde.
Gen 2:14 And the name of the thyrde river is Hidekell which runneth on the easte syde of the assyryans And the fourth river is Euphrates.
Gen 2:15 And the LORde God toke Adam and put him in the garden of Eden to dresse it and to kepe it:
Gen 2:16 and the LORde God comaunded Ada saynge: of all the trees of the garde se thou eate.
Gen 2:17 But of the tre of knowlege of good and badd se that thou eate not: for even ye same daye thou eatest of it thou shalt surely dye.
Gen 2:18 And the LORde God sayd: it is not good that man shulde be alone I will make hym an helper to beare him company:
Gen 2:19 And after yt the LORde God had make of the erth all maner beastes of the felde and all maner foules of the ayre he brought them vnto Adam to see what he wold call them. And as Ada called all maner livynge beastes: eve so are their names.
Gen 2:20 And Adam gave names vnto all maner catell and vnto the foules of the ayre and vnto all maner beastes of the felde. But there was no helpe founde vnto Adam to beare him companye
Gen 2:21 Then the LORde God cast a slomber on Adam and he slepte. And then he toke out one of his rybbes and in stede ther of he fylled vp the place with flesh.
Gen 2:22 And the LORde God made of the rybbe which he toke out of Adam a woma and brought her vnto Adam.
Gen 2:23 Then sayd Ada this is once bone of my boones and flesh of my flesh. This shall be called woman: because she was take of the man.
Gen 2:24 For this cause shall a man leve father and mother and cleve vnto his wyfe and they shall be one flesh.
Gen 2:25 And they were ether of them naked both Adam and hys wyfe ad were not ashamed:
Gen 3:1 But the serpent was sotyller than all the beastes of the felde which ye LORde God had made and sayd vnto the woman. Ah syr that God hath sayd ye shall not eate of all maner trees in the garden.
Gen 3:2 And the woman sayd vnto the serpent of the frute of the trees in the garden we may eate
Gen 3:3 but of the frute of the tree yt is in the myddes of the garden (sayd God) se that ye eate not and se that ye touch it not: lest ye dye.
Gen 3:4 Then sayd the serpent vnto the woman: tush ye shall not dye:
Gen 3:5 But God doth knowe that whensoever ye shulde eate of it youre eyes shuld be opened and ye shulde be as God and knowe both good and evell.
Gen 3:6 And the woman sawe that it was a good tree to eate of and lustie vnto the eyes and a pleasant tre for to make wyse. And toke of the frute of it and ate and gaue vnto hir husband also with her and he ate.
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of both them were opened that they vnderstode how that they were naked. Than they sowed fygge leves togedder and made them apurns.
Gen 3:8 And they herd the voyce of the LORde God as he walked in the garde in the coole of the daye. And Adam hyd hymselfe and his wyfe also from the face of the LORde God amonge the trees of the garden.
Gen 3:9 And the LORde God called Adam and sayd vnto him where art thou?
Gen 3:10 And he answered. Thy voyce I harde in the garden but I was afrayd because I was naked and therfore hyd myselfe.
Gen 3:11 And he sayd: who told the that thou wast naked? hast thou eaten of the tree of which I bade the that thou shuldest not eate?
Gen 3:12 And Adam answered. The woman which thou gavest to bere me company she toke me of the tree ad I ate.
Gen 3:13 And the LORde God sayd vnto the woman: wherfore didest thou so? And the woman answered the serpent deceaved me and I ate.
Gen 3:14 And the LORde God sayd vnto the serpet because thou haste so done moste cursed be thou of all catell and of all beastes of the feld: vppo thy bely shalt thou goo: and erth shalt thou eate all dayes of thy lyfe.
Gen 3:15 Morover I will put hatred betwene the and the woman and betwene thy seed and hyr seed. And that seed shall tread the on the heed ad thou shalt tread hit on the hele.
Gen 3:16 And vnto the woman he sayd: I will suerly encrease thy sorow ad make the oft with child and with payne shalt thou be deleverd: And thy lustes shall pertayne vnto thy husbond and he shall rule the.
Gen 3:17 And vnto Ada he sayd: for as moch as thou hast obeyed the voyce of thy wyfe and hast eaten of the tree of which I commaunded the saynge: se thou eate not therof: cursed be the erth for thy sake. In sorow shalt thou eate therof all dayes of thy lyfe
Gen 3:18 And it shall beare thornes ad thystels vnto the. And thou shalt eate the herbes of ye feld:
Gen 3:19 In the swete of thy face shalt thou eate brede vntill thou returne vnto the erth whece thou wast take: for erth thou art ad vnto erth shalt thou returne.
Gen 3:20 And Ada called his wyfe Heua because she was the mother of all that lyveth
Gen 3:21 And the LORde God made Adam and hys wyfe garmentes of skynnes and put them on them.
Gen 3:22 And the LORde God sayd: loo Adam is become as it were one of vs in knowlege of good and evell. But now lest he strech forth his hand and take also of the tree of lyfe and eate and lyve ever.
Gen 3:23 And the LORde God cast him out of the garden of Eden to tylle the erth whece he was taken.
Gen 3:24 And he cast Ada out and sette at ye enteringe of the garden Eden Cherubin with a naked swerde movinge in and out to kepe the way to the tree of lyfe.
Gen 4:1 And Adam lay wyth Heua ys wyfe which conceaved and bare Cain and sayd: I haue goten a ma of the LORde.
Gen 4:2 And she proceded forth and bare hys brother Abell: And Abell became a sheperde And Cain became a ploweman.
Gen 4:3 And it fortuned in processe of tyme that Cain brought of the frute of the erth: an offerynge vnto the LORde.
Gen 4:4 And Abell he brought also of the fyrstlynges of hys shepe and of the fatt of them. And the LORde loked vnto Abell and to his offeynge:
Gen 4:5 but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly and loured.
Gen 4:6 And the LORde sayd vnto Cain: why art thou angry and why loureste thou? Wotest thou not yf thou dost well thou shalt receave it?
Gen 4:7 But and yf thou dost evell by and by thy synne lyeth open in the dore. Not withstondyng let it be subdued vnto the ad see thou rule it.
Gen 4:8 And Cain talked wyth Abell his brother. And as soone as they were in the feldes Cain fell vppon Abell his brother and slewe hym
Gen 4:9 And ye LORde sayd vnto Cain: where is Abell thy brother? And he sayd: I can not tell am I my brothers keper?
Gen 4:10 And he sayd: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers bloud cryeth vnto me out of the erth.
Gen 4:11 And now cursed be thou as pertaynyng to the erth which opened hyr mouth to receaue thy brothers bloud of thyne hande.
Gen 4:12 For when thou tyllest the grounde she shall heceforth not geve hyr power vnto the. A vagabunde and a rennagate shalt thou be vpon the erth.
Gen 4:13 And Cain sayd vnto the LORde: my synne is greater then that it may be forgeven.
Gen 4:14 Beholde thou castest me out thys day from of the face of the erth and fro thy syghte must I hyde my selfe ad I must be wandrynge and a vagabunde vpon the erth: Morover whosoever fyndeth me wyll kyll me,
Gen 4:15 And the LORde sayd vnto hi Not so but whosoever sleyth Cain shalbe punyshed .vij. folde. And ye LORde put a marke vpo Cain that no ma yt founde hym shulde kyll hym.
Gen 4:16 And Cain went out fro the face of the LORde and dwelt in the lande Nod on the east syde of Eden.
Gen 4:17 And Cain laye wyth hys wyfe which conceaved and bare Henoch. And he was buyldinge a cyte and called the name of it after the name of hys sonne Henoch.

Gen 4:22 And Zilla she also bare Tubalcain a worker in metall and a father of all that grave in brasse and yeron. And Tubalcains syster was called Naema.
Gen 4:23 Then sayd Lamech vnto hys wyves Ada ad Zilla: heare my voyce ye wyves of Lamech and herken vnto my wordes for I haue slayne a man and wounded my selfe and haue slayn a yongman and gotte my selfe strypes:
Gen 4:24 For Cain shall be avenged sevenfolde: but Lamech seventie tymes sevenfolde.
Gen 4:25 Adam also laye with hys wyfe yet agayne and she bare a sonne ad called hys name Seth For god (sayd she) hath geven me a nother sonne For Abell whom Cain slewe.
Gen 4:26 And Seth begat a sonne and called hys name Enos. And in that tyme began men to call on the name of the LORde.

Gen 6:3 And the LORd sayd: My spirite shall not allwaye stryve withe man for they are flesh. Nevertheles I wyll geue them yet space and hundred and .xx. yeres
Gen 6:4 There were tirantes in the world in thos dayes. For after that the children of God had gone in vnto the doughters of men and had begotten them childern the same childern were the mightiest of the world and men of renowne

Gen 6:7 And sayd: I wyll destroy mankynde which I haue made fro of the face of the erth: both man beast worme and foule of the ayre for it repeteth me that I haue made them.
Gen 6:8 But yet Noe found grace in the syghte of the LORde.
Gen 6:9 These are the generatios of Noe. Noe was a righteous man and vncorrupte in his tyme and walked wyth god.
Gen 6:10 And Noe begat .iij. sonnes: Sem Ham and Iapheth.
Gen 6:11 And the erth was corrupte in the syghte of god and was full of mischefe.
Gen 6:12 And God loked vpon the erth ad loo it was corrupte: for all flesh had corrupte his way vppon the erth.
Gen 6:13 Than sayd God to Noe: the end of all flesh is come before me for the erth is full of there myschefe. And loo I wyll destroy them with the erth.
Gen 6:14 Make the an arcke of pyne tree and make chaumbers in the arcke and pytch it wythin and wythout wyth pytch.

Gen 6:21 And take vnto the of all maner of meate yt may be eaten and laye it vp in stoore by the that it may be meate both for ye and for the:
Gen 6:22 and Noe dyd acordynge to all that God commaunded hym.

Gen 7:14 both they and all maner of beastes in their kide and all maner of catell in their kynde and all maner of wormes that crepe vppon the erth in their kynde and all maner of byrdes in there kynde. and all maner off foules what soever had feders.
Gen 7:15 And they came vnto Noe in to the arke by cooples of all flesh yt had breth of lyfe in it.
Gen 7:16 And they that came came male ad female of every flesh acordige as God comaunded hym: and ye LORde shytt the dore vppo him
Gen 7:17 And the floud came .xl. dayes and .xl. nyghtes vppon the erth and the water increased and bare vp the arcke ad it was lifte vp from of the erth
Gen 7:18 And the water prevayled and increased exceadingly vppon the erth: and the arke went vppo he toppe of the waters.

Gen 7:23 Thus was destroyed all that was vppo the erth both man beastes wormes and foules of the ayre so that they were destroyed from the erth: save Noe was reserved only and they that were wyth hym in the arke.
Gen 7:24 And the waters prevayled vppon the erth an hundred and fyftye dayes.
Gen 8:1 And god remebred Noe and all ye beastes and all ye catell yt were with hi in ye arke And god made a wynde to blow vppo ye erth and ye waters ceased:
Gen 8:2 ad ye fountaynes of the depe ad the wyndowes of heave were stopte and the rayne of heaven was forbidde
Gen 8:3 and the waters returned from of ye erth ad abated after the ende of an hundred and .l. dayes.
Gen 8:4 And the arke rested vppo the mountayns of Ararat the .xvij. daye of the .vij. moneth.
Gen 8:5 And the waters went away ad decreased vntyll the x. moneth. And the fyrst daye of the tenth moneth the toppes of the mounteyns appered.

Gen 8:7 ad sent forth a raven which went out ever goinge and cominge agayne vntyll the waters were dreyed vpp vppon the erth
Gen 8:8 Then sent he forth a doue from hym to wete whether the waters were fallen from of the erth.
Gen 8:9 And when the doue coude fynde no restinge place for hyr fote she returned to him agayne vnto the arke for the waters were vppon the face of all the erth. And he put out hys honde and toke her and pulled hyr to hym in to the arke
Gen 8:10 And he abode yet .vij. dayes mo and sent out the doue agayne out of the arke
Gen 8:11 And the doue came to hym agayne aboute eventyde and beholde: There was in hyr mouth a lefe of an olyve tre which she had plucked wherby Noe perceaved that the waters wer abated vppon the erth.
Gen 8:12 And he taried yet .vij. other dayes and sent forth the doue which from thence forth came no more agayne to him.

Gen 17:7 Moreover I will make my bonde betwene me and the and thy seed after the in their tymes to be an everlastynge testament So that I wyll be God vnto the and to thy seed after the.
Gen 17:8 And I will geue vnto the ad to thy seed after the the lande where in thou arte a straunger: Euen all the lande of Canaan for an everlastynge possession and wil be their God.
Gen 17:9 And God sayde vnto Abraha: Se thou kepe my testamente both thou and thy seed after the in their tymes:
Gen 17:10 This is my testamente which ye shall kepe betwene me and you and thy seed after the that ye circucyse all youre men childern ye shall circumcyse

Gen 17:12 And euery manchilde when it is viij. dayes olde shal be circucysed amonge you in youre generations and all servauntes also borne at home or boughte with money though they be straungers and not of thy seed.
Gen 17:13 The seruaunte borne in thy housse ad he also that is bought with money must needes be circumcysed that my testament may be in youre flesh for an everlastinge bonde.
Gen 17:14 Yf there be any vncircuncysed manchilde that hath not the forskynne of his flesh cutt of his soule shall perish from his people: because he hath broke my testamet
Gen 17:15 And God sayde vnto Abraham. Sarai thy wyfe shall nomore be called Sarai: but Sara shall hir name be.
Gen 17:16 For I will blesse her and geue the a sonne of her and will blesse her: so that people ye and kynges of people shall springe of her.
Gen 17:17 And Abraham fell vpon his face ad laughte and sayd in his harte: shall a childe be borne vnto hym that is an hundred yere olde ad shall Sara that is nynetie yere olde bere?
Gen 17:18 And Abraha sayde vnto God. O that Ismaell myghte lyve in thy syghte.
Gen 17:19 The sayde God: na Sara thy wife shall bere the a sonne ad thou shalt call his name Isaac. And I will make my bonde with him that it shall be an everlastynge bonde vnto his seed after him.
Gen 17:20 And as concernynge Ismaell also I haue herde thy request: loo I will blesse him and encrease him and multiplye him excedyingly. Twelve prynces shall be begete and I will make a great nation of him.
Gen 17:21 But my bonde will I make with Isaac which Sara shall bere vnto the: even this tyme twelue moneth.
Gen 17:22 And God left of talkynge with him and departed vp from Abraham.
Gen 17:23 And Abraham toke Ismaell his sonne and all the servauntes borne in his housse and all that was bought with money as many as were menchildren amonge the me of Abrahas housse and circumcysed the foreskynne of their flesh even the selfe same daye as God had sayde vnto him.
Gen 17:24 Abraham was nynetie yere olde and .ix. when he cutt of the foreskynne of his flesh.
Gen 17:25 And Ismaell his sonne was .xiij. yere olde when the foreskynne of hys flesh was circumcysed.
Gen 17:26 The selfe same daye was Abraha circucised and Ismael his sonne.
Gen 17:27 And all the men in his housse whether they were borne in his housse or bought wyth money (though they were straungers) were circumcysed with him.
Gen 18:1 And the LORde apeared vnto him in the okegrove of Mamre as he sat in his tent doze in the heate of the daye.
Gen 18:2 And he lyfte vp his eyes and looked: ad lo thre men stode not farr from hym. And whe he sawe them he ran agenst them from the tent dore and fell to the grounde
Gen 18:3 and sayde: LORde yf I haue founde fauoure in thy syght goo not by thi seruaunte.
Gen 18:4 Let a litle water be fett and wash youre fete and rest youre selves vnder the tree:
Gen 18:5 And I will fett a morsell of breed to comforte youre hartes wythall. And tha goo youre wayes for even therfore ar ye come to youre servaunte. And they answered: Do even so as thou hast sayde.
Gen 18:6 And Abraha went a pace in to his tent vnto Sara ad sayde: make redy att once thre peckes of fyne meale kneade it and make cakes.
Gen 18:7 And Abraham ran vnto his beastes and fett a calfe that was tendre and good and gaue it vnto a yonge man which made it redy attonce.
Gen 18:8 And he toke butter and mylcke and the calfe which he had prepared and sett it before them and stode hymselfe by them vnder the tree: and they ate.
Gen 18:9 And they sayde vnto him: Where is Sara thy wife? And he sayde: in the tent.
Gen 18:10 And he sayde: I will come agayne vnto the as soone as the frute can lyue. And loo: Sara thy wife shall haue a sonne. That herde Sara out of the tent doore which was behind his backe.
Gen 18:11 Abraham and Sara were both olde and well stryken in age and it ceased to be with Sara after the maner as it is wyth wyves.
Gen 18:12 And Sara laughed in hir selfe saynge: Now I am waxed olde shall I geue my selfe to lust and my lorde olde also?
Gen 18:13 Than sayd the LORde vnto Abraha: wherfore doth Sara laughe saynge: shal I of a suertie bere a childe now when I am olde?
Gen 18:14 is the thinge to harde for the LORde to do? In the tyme appoynted will I returne vnto the as soone as the frute can haue lyfe And Sara shall haue a sonne.
Gen 18:15 Than Sara denyed it saynge: I laughed not for she was afrayde. But he sayde: yes thou laughtest.
Gen 18:16 Than the men stode vp from thence ad loked towarde Sodome. And Abraham went with them to brynge them on the waye.
Gen 18:17 And the LORde sayde: Can I hyde from Abraham that thinge which I am aboute to do
Gen 18:18 seynge that Abraham shall be a great ad a myghtie people and all the nations of the erth shalbe blessed in him?
Gen 18:19 For I knowe him that he will commaunde his childern and his housholde after him yt they kepe the waye of the LORde to do after righte and conscyence that the LORde may brynge vppon Abraham that he hath promysed him.
Gen 18:20 And the LORde sayde? The crie of Sodome and Gomorra is great and there synne is excedynge grevous.
Gen 18:21 I will go downe and see whether they haue done all to gedder acordynge to that crye which is come vnto me or not that I may knowe.
Gen 18:22 And the me departed thece and went to Sodomeward. But Abraham stode yet before ye LORde
Gen 18:23 and drewe nere and saydeWylt thou destroy the rightwes with the wyked?
Gen 18:24 Yf there be .l. rightwes within the cyte wilt thou destroy it and not spare the place for the sake of .l. rightwes that are therin?
Gen 18:25 That be farre from the that thou shuldest do after thys maner to sley the rightwes with the weked ad that the rightwes shulde be as the weked: that befarre from the. Shulde not the iudge of all ye worlde do acordynge to righte?
Gen 18:26 And the LORde sayde: Yf I fynde in Sodome .l. rightwes within the cyte I will spare all the place for their sakes.
Gen 18:27 And Abraham answered and sayde: beholde I haue taken vppon me to speake vnto ye LORde ad yet am but dust ad asshes.
Gen 18:28 What though there lacke .v. of .l. rightwes wylt thou destroy all the cyte for lacke of .v? And he sayde: Yf I fynde there .xl. and .v. I will not destroy them.
Gen 18:29 And he spake vnto him yet agayne and sayde: what yf there be .xl. foude there: And he sayde: I wyll not do it for forties sake.
Gen 18:30 And he sayde: O let not my LORde be angrye that I speake. What yf there be foude .xxx. there? And he sayde: I will not do it yf I finde .xxx. there.
Gen 18:31 And be sayde: Oh se I haue begonne to speake vnto my LORde what yf there be .xx. founde there? And he sayde: I will not distroy the for tweties sake.
Gen 18:32 And he sayde: O let not my LORde be angrye that I speake yet but eue once more only. What yf ten be founde there?. And he sayde: I will not destroy the for .x. sake.
Gen 18:33 And the LORde wet his waye as soone as he had lefte comenynge with Abraha. And Abraham returned vnto his place
Gen 19:1 And there came .ij. angells to Sodome at euen. And Lot satt at the gate of the cyte. And Lot sawe the and rose vp agaynst them and he bowed hym selfe to he grounde with his face.
Gen 19:2 And he sayde: Se lordes turne in I praye you in to youre servauntes house and tary all nyghte and wash youre fete and ryse vp early and go on youre wayes. And they sayde: nay but we will byde in the streates all nyghte.
Gen 19:3 And he copelled them excedyngly. And they turned in vnto hym and entred in to his house and he made them a feaste and dyd bake swete cakes and they ate.
Gen 19:4 But before they went to rest the men of the cyte of Sodome compassed the house rownde aboute both olde and yonge all the people from all quarters.
Gen 19:5 And they called vnto Lot and sayde vnto him: where are the men which came in to thy house to nyghte? brynge the out unto vs that we may do oure lust with them.
Gen 19:6 And Lot went out at doores vnto them and shote the dore after him
Gen 19:7 and sayde: nay for goddes sake brethren do not so wekedly.
Gen 19:8 Beholde I haue two doughters which haue knowne no man the will I brynge out vnto you: do with them as it semeth you good: Only vnto these men do nothynge for therfore came they vnder the shadowe of my rofe.
Gen 19:9 And they sayde: come hither. And they sayde: camest thou not in to sogeorne and wilt thou be now a iudge? we will suerly deale worse with the than with themAnd as they preased fore vppon Lot and beganne to breake vp the doore
Gen 19:10 the men put forth their handes and pulled Lot in to the house to them and shott to the doore.
Gen 19:11 And the men that were at the doore of the house they smote with blyndnesse both small and greate: so that they coude not fynde the doore.
Gen 19:12 And the men sayde moreover vnto Lot: Yf thou have yet here any sonne in lawe or sonnes or doughters or what so euer thou hast in the cyte brynge it out of this place:
Gen 19:13 for we must destroy this place because the crye of the is great before the LORde. Wherfore he hath sent vs to destroy it.
Gen 19:14 And Lot went out and spake vnto his sonnes in lawe which shulde haue maried his doughters and sayde: stonde vpp and get yow out of this place for the LORde will destroy the cite. But he semed as though he had mocked vnto his sonnes in law.
Gen 19:15 And as the mornynge arose the angells caused Lot to spede him saynge. Stonde vp take thy wyfe and thy two doughters and that that is at hande lest thou perish in the synne of the cyte.
Gen 19:16 And as he prolonged the tyme the men caught both him his wife ad his two doughters by the handes because the LORde was mercyfull vnto him ad they brought him forth and sette him without the cyte.
Gen 19:17 When they had brought them out they sayde: Saue thy lyfe and loke not behynde the nether tary thou in any place of the contre but saue thy selfe in the mountayne lest thou perisshe.
Gen 19:18 Than sayde Lot vnto them: Oh nay my lorde:
Gen 19:19 beholde in as moch as thy servaunte hath fownde grace in thy syghte now make thi mercy great which thou shewest vnto me in savinge my lyfe. For I can not saue my selfe in the mountayns lest some misfortune fall vpon me and I dye.
Gen 19:20 Beholde here is a cyte by to flee vnto and it is a lytle one: let me saue my selfe therein: is it not a litle one that my soule may lyue?
Gen 19:21 And he sayde to him: se I haue receaved thy request as concernynge this thynge that I will nott overthrowe this cytie for the which thou hast spoken.
Gen 19:22 Haste the ad saue thy selfe there for I can do nothynge tyll thou be come in thyder. And therfore the name of the cyte is called Zoar.
Gen 19:23 And the sone was vppon the erth when Lot was entred in to Zoar.
Gen 19:24 Than the LORde rayned vpon Sodome and Gomorra brymstone and fyre from the LORde out of heaven
Gen 19:25 and overthrewe those cyteis and all the region and all that dwelled in the cytes and that that grewe vpon the erth.
Gen 19:26 And lots wyfe loked behynde her ad was turned in to a pillare of salte.
Gen 19:27 Abraham rose vp early and got him to the place where he stode before the LORde
Gen 19:28 and loked toward Sodome and Gomorra and toward all the londe of that contre. And as he loked: beholde the smoke of the contre arose as it had bene the smoke of a fornace.
Gen 19:29 But yet whe God destroyed the cities of ye regio he thought a pon Abraha: and sent Lot out from the dager of the overthrowenge when he overthrewe the cyttes where Lot dwelled.
Gen 19:30 And Lot departed out of Zoar and dwelled in the mountayns ad his .ij. doughters with him for he feared to tary in Zoar: he dweld therfore in a caue both he and his .ij. doughters also.
Gen 19:31 Than sayde the elder vnto the yonger oure father is olde and there are no moo men in the erth to come in vnto vs after the maner of all the world.
Gen 19:32 Come therfore let vs geue oure father wyne to dryncke and let vs lye with him that we may saue seed of oure father.
Gen 19:33 And they gaue their father wyne to drynke that same nyghte. And the elder doughter went and laye with her father. And he perceaued it not nether when she laye doune nether when she rose vp.
Gen 19:34 And on the morowe the elder sayde vnto the yonger: beholde yesternyghte laye I with my father. Let us geue hym wyne to drinke this nyghte also and goo thou and lye with him and let us saue seed of oure father.
Gen 19:35 And they gaue their father wyne to drincke that nyghte also. And the yonger arose and laye with him. And he perceaved it not: nether when she laye downe nether when she rose vp.
Gen 19:36 Thus were both the doughters of lot with childe by their father
Gen 19:37 And the elder bare a sone and called hym Moab which is the father of the Moabytes vnto this daye.
Gen 19:38 And the yonger bare a sonne and called hym Ben Ammi which is the father of the childern of Ammon vnto this daye.
Gen 20:1 And Abraham departed thence towarde the southcontre and dwelled betwene Cades and Sur ad sogeorned in Gerar.
Gen 20:2 And Abraham sayde of Sara his wyfe that she was his sister. Than Abimelech kynge of Gerar sent and fett Sara awaye.
Gen 20:3 And God came to Abimelech by nyghte in a dreame and sayde to him: Se thou art but a deed man for the womas sake which thou hast taken awaye for she is a mans wyfe.
Gen 20:4 But Abimelech had not yet come nye her and therfore sayde: lorde wilt thou sley rightewes people?
Gen 20:5 sayde not he vnto me that she was hys sister? yee and sayde not she herself that he was hir brother? wyth a pure herte and innocent handes haue I done this.
Gen 20:6 And God sayde vnto him in a dreame. I wot it well that thou dydest it in the purenesse of thi herte. And therfore I kepte ye that thou shuldest not synne agenst me nether suffred I the to come nygh her.
Gen 20:7 Now therfore delyuer the ma his wyfe ageyne for he is a prophete. And let him praye for the that thou mayst lyue. But and yf thou delyuer her not agayne be sure that thou shalt dye the deth with all that thou hast.
Gen 20:8 Than Abimelech rose vp be tymes in the mornynge and called all his servauntes and tolde all these thinges in their eares and the men were sore a frayde.
Gen 20:9 And Abimelech called Abraham and sayde vnto him: What hast thou done vnto vs and what haue I offended the that thou shuldest brynge on me and on my kyngdome so greate a synne? thou hast done dedes vnto me that ought not to be done.
Gen 20:10 And Abimelech sayde morouer vnto Abraham: What sawest thou that moved the to do this thinge?
Gen 20:11 And Abraham Answered. I thought that peradveture the feare of God was not in this place and that they shulde sley me for my wyfes sake:
Gen 20:12 yet in very dede she is my sister the doughter of my father but not of my mother: and became my wyfe.
Gen 20:13 And after God caused me to wandre out of my fathers house I sayde vnto her: This kyndnesse shalt thou shewe vnto me in all places where we come that thou saye of me how that I am thy brother.
Gen 20:14 Than toke Abimelech shepe and oxen menservauntes and wemenseruauntes and gaue them vnto Abraham and delyvered him Sara his wyfe agayne.
Gen 20:15 And Abimelech sayde: beholde the lande lyeth be fore the dwell where it pleaseth ye best.
Gen 20:16 And vnto Sara he sayde: Se I haue geuen thy brother a thousande peeces of syluer beholde he shall be a couerynge to thyne eyes vnto all that ar with the and vnto all men and an excuse.
Gen 20:17 And so Abraham prayde vnto God and God healed Abimeleh and his wyfe and hys maydens so that they bare.
Gen 20:18 For the LORde had closed to all the matryces of the house of Abimelech because of Sara Abrahams wyfe.
Gen 21:1 The lorde visyted Sara as he had sayde and dyd vnto her acordynge as he had spoken.
Gen 21:2 And Sara was with childe and bare Abraha a sonne in his olde age euen the same season which the LORde had appoynted.
Gen 21:3 And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him which Sara bare him Isaac:
Gen 21:4 and Abra circucysed Isaac his sone whe he was .viij. dayes olde as God commaunded him
Gen 21:5 And Abraha was an hundred yere olde when his sonne Isaac was borne vnto him.
Gen 21:6 And Sara sayde: God hath made me a laughinge stocke: for all yt heare will laugh at me
Gen 21:7 She sayde also: who wolde haue sayde vnto Abraham that Sara shulde haue geuen childern sucke or yt I shulde haue borne him a sonne in his olde age:
Gen 21:8 The childe grewe and was wened and Abraham made a great feast the same daye that Isaac was wened.
Gen 21:9 Sara sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egiptian which she had borne vnto Abraham a mockynge.
Gen 21:10 Then she sayde vnto Abraham: put awaye this bondemayde and hyr sonne: for the sonne of this bondwoman shall not be heyre with my sonne Isaac:
Gen 21:11 But the wordes semed verey greavous in Abrahams syghte because of his sonne.
Gen 21:12 Than the LORde sayde vnto Abraham: let it not be greavous vnto the because of the ladd and of thy bondmayde: But in all that Sara hath saide vnto the heare hir voyce for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Gen 21:13 Moreouer of the sonne of the Bondwoman will I make a nation because he is thy seed.
Gen 21:14 And Abraham rose vp early in the mornyng and toke brede and a bottell with water and gaue it vnto Hagar puttynge it on hir shulders wyth the lad also and sent her awaye. And she departed and wadred vpp and doune in the wyldernes of Berseba.
Gen 21:15 When the water was spent that was in the botell she cast the lad vnder a bush
Gen 21:16 and went and satt her out of syghte a great waye as it were a bowshote off: For she sayde: I will not se the lad dye. And she satt doune out of syghte and lyfte vp hyr voyce and wepte.
Gen 21:17 And God herde the voyce of the childe. And the angell of God called Hagar out of heaven and sayde vnto her: What ayleth the Hagar? Feare not for God hath herde the voyce of the childe where he lyeth.
Gen 21:18 Aryse and lyfte vp the lad and take hym in thy hande for I will make off him a greate people.
Gen 21:19 And God opened hir eyes and she sawe a well of water. And she went and fylled the bottell with water and gaue the boye drynke.
Gen 21:20 And God was wyth the lad and he grewe and dweld in the wildernesse and became an archer.
Gen 21:21 And he dweld in the wyldernesse of Pharan. And hys mother gott him a wyfe out of the land of Egypte.
Gen 21:22 And it chaunced the same season that Abimelech and Phicoll his chefe captayne spake vnto Abraham saynge: God is wyth the in all that thou doist.
Gen 21:23 Now therfore swere vnto me even here by God that thou wylt not hurt me nor my childern nor my childerns childern. But that thou shalt deale with me and the contre where thou art a straunger acordynge vnto the kyndnesse that I haue shewed the.
Gen 21:24 Then sayde Abraham: I wyll swere.
Gen 21:25 And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water which Abimelech servauntes had taken awaye.
Gen 21:26 And Abimelech answered I wyst not who dyd it: Also thou toldest me not nether herde I of it but this daye.
Gen 21:27 And Abraham toke shepe and oxen and gaue them vnto Abimelech. And they made both of them a bonde together.
Gen 21:28 And Abraham sett vij. lambes by them selues.
Gen 21:29 And Abimelech sayde vnto Abraham: what meane these .vij. lamdes which thou hast sett by them selues.
Gen 21:30 And he answered: vij. lambes shalt thou take of my hande that it maye be a wytnesse vnto me that I haue dygged this well:
Gen 21:31 Wherfore the place is called Berseba because they sware both of them.
Gen 21:32 Thus made they a bonde to gether at Berseba. Than Abimelech and Phicoll his chefe captayne rose vp and turned agayne vnto the lande of the Philistines.
Gen 21:33 And Abraham planted a wodd in Berseba and called there on the name of the LORde the everlastynge God:
Gen 21:34 and dwelt in the Phelistinlade alonge season
Gen 22:1 After these dedes God dyd proue Abraham and sayde vnto him: Abraham. And he answered: here am I.
Gen 22:2 And he sayde: take thy only sonne Isaac whome thou louest and get the vnto the lande of Moria and sacrifyce him there for a sacrifyce vpon one of the mountayns which I will shewe the
Gen 22:3 Than Abraham rose vp early in the mornynge and sadled his asse and toke two of his meyny wyth him and Isaac his sonne: ad clove wod for the sacrifyce and rose vp and gott him to the place which God had appoynted him.
Gen 22:4 The thirde daye Abraham lyfte vp his eyes and sawe the place a farr of
Gen 22:5 and sayde vnto his yong men: byde here with the asse. I and the lad will goo yonder and worshippe and come agayne vnto you.
Gen 22:6 And Abraham toke the wodd of the sacrifyce and layde it vpon Isaac his sonne and toke fyre in his hande and a knyfe. And they went both of them together.
Gen 22:7 Than spake Isaac vnto Abraham his father and sayde: My father? And he answered here am I my sonne. And he sayde: Se here is fyre and wodd but where is the shepe for sacrifyce?
Gen 22:8 And Abraham sayde: my sonne God wyll prouyde him a shepe for sacrifyce. So went they both together.
Gen 22:9 And when they came vnto the place which God shewed him Abraha made an aulter there and dressed the wodd ad bownde Isaac his sonne and layde him on the aulter aboue apon the wodd.
Gen 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hande and toke the knyfe to haue kylled his sonne.
Gen 22:11 Than the angell of the LORde called vnto him from heauen saynge: Abraham Abraham. And he answered: here am I.
Gen 22:12 And he sayde: laye not thy handes apon the childe nether do any thinge at all vnto him for now I knowe that thou fearest God in yt thou hast not kepte thine only sonne fro me.
Gen 22:13 And Abraham lyfted vp his eyes and loked aboute: and beholde there was a ram caught by the hornes in a thykette. And he went and toke the ram and offred him vp for a sacrifyce in the steade of his sonne
Gen 22:14 And Abraham called the name of the place the LORde will see: wherfore it is a come saynge this daye: in the mounte will the LORde be sene.
Gen 22:15 And the Angell of the LORde cryed vnto Abraham from heaven the seconde tyme
Gen 22:16 saynge: by my selfe haue I sworne (sayth the LORde) because thou hast done this thinge and hast not spared thy only sonne
Gen 22:17 that I will blesse th and multiplye thy seed as the starres of heaven and as the sonde vpo the seesyde. And thy seed shall possesse the gates of hys enymies.
Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed because thou hast obeyed my voyce.
Gen 22:19 So turned Abraham agayne vnto his yonge men and they rose vp and wet to gether to Berseba. And Abraham dwelt at Berseba
Gen 22:20 And it chaused after these thiges that one tolde Abraham saynge: Beholde Milcha she hath also borne childern vnto thy brother Nachor:
Gen 22:21 Hus his eldest sonne and Bus his brother and Lemuell the father of the Sinans
Gen 22:22 and Cesed and Haso and Pildas and Iedlaph and Bethuel.
Gen 22:23 And Bethuel begat Rebecca. These .viij. dyd Milcha bere to Nachor Abrahams brother.
Gen 22:24 And his concubyne called Rheuma she bare also Tebah Gaham Thahas and Maacha.
Gen 23:1 Sara was an hundred and .xxvij. yere olde (for so longe lyued she)
Gen 23:2 and than dyed in a heade cyte called Hebron in the londe of Canaan. Than Abraham came to morne Sara and to wepe for her.
Gen 23:3 And Abraham stode vp from the coorse and talked with the sonnes of heth saynge:
Gen 23:4 I am a straunger ad a foryner amonge yow geue me a possession to bury in with you that I may bury my dead oute of my sighte.
Gen 23:5 And the children of heth answered Abraham saynge vnto him:
Gen 23:6 heare vs lorde thou art a prynce of God amonge vs. In the chefest of oure sepulchres bury thy dead: None of vs shall forbydd ye his sepulchre yt thou shuldest not bury thy deade therein.
Gen 23:7 Abraha stode vp and bowed hi selfe before ye people of ye lade ye childre of heth.
Gen 23:8 And he comoned with them saynge: Yf it be youre myndes yt I shall bury my deade oute of my sighte heare me ad speke for me to Ephron the sonne of Zoar:
Gen 23:9 and let him geue me the dubill caue which he hath in the end of his felde for as moch money as it is worth let him geue it me in the presence of you for a possession to bury in.
Gen 23:10 For Hephron dwelled amoge ye childern of heth. Than Ephron the Hethite answered Abraham in the audyece of the childern of Heth and of all that went in at the gates of his cyte saynge:
Gen 23:11 Not so my lorde but heare me: The felde geue I the and the caue that therein is geue I the also And even in the presence of the sonnes of my people geve I it the to bury thy deede in.
Gen 23:12 Than Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the lade
Gen 23:13 and spake vnto Ephro in the audyence of the people of the contre saynge: I praye the heare me I will geue sylver for the felde take it of me ad so will I bury my deed there.
Gen 23:14 Ephron answered Abraha saynge vnto him

Gen 28:17 And he was afrayde and sayde how fearfull is this place? it is none other but euen the house of God and the gate of heaue.

Gen 29:16 And Laban had .ij. doughters the eldest called Lea and the yongest Rahel.
Gen 29:17 Lea was tender eyed: But Rahel was bewtifull ad well fauored.
Gen 29:18 And Iacob loued her well and sayde: I will serue the .vij. yere for Rahel thy yongest doughter.
