Sida 325 - These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God mad* the earth and the heavens.
Sida 353 - Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field...
