21 And the LORD God caufed a deep fleep to fall upon Adam, and he fept and he took one of his ribs, and clofe up the flesh instead thereof.

22 And the rib which the LORD Go had taken from man, made he a woman and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam faid, This is now bon of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: th fhall be called Woman, becaufe the wa taken out of man.

24 Therefore fhall a man leave his fa ther and his mother, and hall cleave un to his wife: and they fhall be one flesh.

9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleafant to the fight, and good for food: the tree of life alfo in the midft of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Io And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. II The name of the firft is Pifon : that is it which compaffeth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx-ftone.

13 And the name of the fecond river is Gihon: the fame is it that compaffeth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the eaft of Affyria. And the fourth rivers Euphrates.

Is And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to drefs it, and to keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, faying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayeft freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eateft thereof, thou fhalt furely die.

18 And the LORD God faid, It is not d that the man should be alone: I

LORD God had made: and he faid unt the woman, Yea, hath God faid, Ye ha not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman faid unto the fe pent, We may eat of the fruit of the tree of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which in the midft of the garden, God hat faid, Ye fhall not eat of it, neither fhall y touch it, left ye die.

4 And the ferpent faid unto the woma Ye fhall not furely die.

s For God doth know, that in the da ye eat thereof, then your eyes fhail b opened and ye shall be as gods know ing good and evil.

4 And Abel, he alfo brought of the firflings of his flock, and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel, and to his offering:

5 But unto Cain, and to his offering he had not refpect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

7 If thou doeft well, fhalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doeft not well, fin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his defire, and thou shalt rule over him.

8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pafs when they were in the field, that Cain rofe up against Abel his brother, and flew him.

And the LORD faid unto Cain,

16 Unto the woman he faid, I will greatly multiply thy forrow and thy conception; in forrow thou fhalt bring forth children and thy defire fhall be to thy husband, and he hall rule over thee. 17 And unto Adam he faid, Becaufe Where is Abel thy brother?
