genesis 17

the covenant of circumcision

1 when abram was ninety-nine years old, the lord appeared to him and said, "i am god almighty [a] ; walk before me and be blameless. 2 i will confirm my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers."
3 abram fell facedown, and god said to him, 4 "as for me, this is my covenant with you: you will be the father of many nations. 5 no longer will you be called abram [b] ; your name will be abraham, [c] for i have made you a father of many nations. 6 i will make you very fruitful; i will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. 7 i will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your god and the god of your descendants after you. 8 the whole land of canaan, where you are now an alien, i will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and i will be their god."

9 then god said to abraham, "as for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. 10 this is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 you are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. 12 for the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. 13 whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. my covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant. 14 any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."

15 god also said to abraham, "as for sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her sarai; her name will be sarah. 16 i will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. i will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her."

17 abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, "will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? will sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?" 18 and abraham said to god, "if only ishmael might live under your blessing!"

19 then god said, "yes, but your wife sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him isaac. [d] i will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. 20 and as for ishmael, i have heard you: i will surely bless him; i will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. he will be the father of twelve rulers, and i will make him into a great nation. 21 but my covenant i will establish with isaac, whom sarah will bear to you by this time next year." 22 when he had finished speaking with abraham, god went up from him.

23 on that very day abraham took his son ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as god told him. 24 abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised, 25 and his son ishmael was thirteen; 26 abraham and his son ishmael were both circumcised on that same day. 27 and every male in abraham's household, including those born in his household or bought from a foreigner, was circumcised with him.

genesis 14

abram rescues lot

1 at this time amraphel king of shinar, [a] arioch king of ellasar, kedorlaomer king of elam and tidal king of goiim 2 went to war against bera king of sodom, birsha king of gomorrah, shinab king of admah, shemeber king of zeboiim, and the king of bela (that is, zoar). 3 all these latter kings joined forces in the valley of siddim (the salt sea [b] ). 4 for twelve years they had been subject to kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 in the fourteenth year, kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the rephaites in ashteroth karnaim, the zuzites in ham, the emites in shaveh kiriathaim 6 and the horites in the hill country of seir, as far as el paran near the desert. 7 then they turned back and went to en mishpat (that is, kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the amalekites, as well as the amorites who were living in hazazon tamar.

8 then the king of sodom, the king of gomorrah, the king of admah, the king of zeboiim and the king of bela (that is, zoar) marched out and drew up their battle lines in the valley of siddim 9 against kedorlaomer king of elam, tidal king of goiim, amraphel king of shinar and arioch king of ellasar—four kings against five. 10 now the valley of siddim was full of tar pits, and when the kings of sodom and gomorrah fled, some of the men fell into them and the rest fled to the hills. 11 the four kings seized all the goods of sodom and gomorrah and all their food; then they went away. 12 they also carried off abram's nephew lot and his possessions, since he was living in sodom.

13 one who had escaped came and reported this to abram the hebrew. now abram was living near the great trees of mamre the amorite, a brother [c] of eshcol and aner, all of whom were allied with abram. 14 when abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as dan. 15 during the night abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as hobah, north of damascus. 16 he recovered all the goods and brought back his relative lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people.

17 after abram returned from defeating kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of sodom came out to meet him in the valley of shaveh (that is, the king's valley).

18 then melchizedek king of salem [d] brought out bread and wine. he was priest of god most high, 19 and he blessed abram, saying,
"blessed be abram by god most high,
creator [e] of heaven and earth.

20 and blessed be [f] god most high,
who delivered your enemies into your hand."
then abram gave him a tenth of everything.

21 the king of sodom said to abram, "give me the people and keep the goods for yourself."

22 but abram said to the king of sodom, "i have raised my hand to the lord, god most high, creator of heaven and earth, and have taken an oath 23 that i will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the thong of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, 'i made abram rich.' 24 i will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me—to aner, eshcol and mamre. let them have their share."

reha erdem türk sinemasında auteur sıfatına layık az sayıda yönetmenden biri oldu kısa zamanda. reklam filmleriyle başlayan sinema serüveni a ay (1988) la devam etti. sonrasında uzun bir ara verip reklam filmleri ve diğer çalışmalarıyla edindiği maddi kaynakla kaç para kaç (1999) ı çekti . kaç para kaç ve a ay filmleriyle kendine bir perspektif/sinemasal kategorizasyon sağladı . filmlerini atlantik film çatısı altında çıkarıyordu , bağımsız yapımlardı. böylelik baskı altında kalmadan zihnindekileri kendine has görselliğiyle sinemaya yansıtma fırsatı buldu . kaç para kaç tan sonra 2004 yılında korkuyorum anne'yi bitirdi . film önceleri insan nedir ki olarak piyasaya çıktı , kısa süre sonra film geri çekilip çeşitli düzenlemelerden sonra korkuyorum anne adıyla tekrar sinemaseverlerle buluştu . son filmi 5 vakit' in 2006 istanbul film festivalinde ilk gösterimi gerçekleştirildi. sinema salonlarına henüz dağıtılmamış olması sebebiyle çoğu insan filmi izlemeden hakkında bilgi sahibi olmak durumunda kaldı .

reha erdem filmlerini az seyirciyle buluşmuş türk sinemasının nadide senaryolara ve görselliğe sahip filmleri olarak nitelendirebiliriz. reha erdemi kaç para kaç adlı filmi üzerinden tanıtmak zor olsa da şimdilik idare edicez.

kaç para kaç reha erdem in kendi tabiriyle en çok narrasyona dayalı filmidir. a ay , korkuyorum anne gibi filmlerinde narrasyonun arka planda kalmasını tercih etmiş daha çok görselliği ve montajı ön plana çıkarmıştır . film istanbul filmidir, istanbulda geçer. bir esnafın tesadüfen yüklü miktarda paraya kavuşması ve hayatının nasıl değiştiğini konu alır . karakterimizin namusluluk vasfını kaybetmesi ve dolayısıyla yeni kendine alışmasını/alışamamasını , çevresindekilerin tepkilerini izleriz. feride çiçekoğlu 'nun deyimiyle "para nedir ki" temalı filmidir . filmi görsellik , yönetim , kurgu açısından ele alırsak ; misal filmde amerikanvari bir kovalamaca sahnesine tanık oluyoruz . vapurda geçen kovalamaca sahnesinde herkesin birbirinin peşinde olduğunu mizah da katarak görselleştirmiş yönetmen. farklı kamera açıları, kısa planlar ile devamlılık ve tedirginlik yaratma konusunda ustalığını göstermiş .zaman mekan kullanımını had safhaya çıkarmış filmlerinde. vapurda kovalamaca sahnesi ve ardından vapurdan atlama sahnesi vardır örnek verilebilecek . beşiktaş iskelesinin olacağı yere bir mendirek monte etmiş , taner birsel'in kaçışını üstün bir görsellikle aktarabilmiştir izleyiciye.

sinemanın olanaklarından biri olan zaman ve mekandan bağımsız olma durumu reha erdem sinemasında önemli yer tutar ve kendisi de bu durumu şöyle dile getirir. " kaç para kaç'ı yaptıktan sonra çok insan şaşırdı, bu ne, a ay ne diye? ben de ona şaşırdım! onların hepsi benim sevdiğim bir sinemanın, montaj sinemasının, ürünleri. kendi içinde ritmi arayan, hepsi belli bir yerden olmaya çalışan filmler. bunlar birbirinin devam filmleri, bence. bu filmlerin hiçbiri diyelim ki pop müzik değil, ama hepsi elektronik müzik içinde. ama kimisinin melodisi fazla, kimisinde kuru ritimler var. " zaman içinse ayrı bir yorumu vardır: "bugün ama gündelik bugün olmayan bir zaman o. her zaman aslında. bütün filmlerimde yapmaya çalıştığım şey". bir zaman dilimi içinde bir çok farklı zamandan parçalar , bir mekan içinde bir çok mekandan esintiler var reha erdem filmlerinde. kaç para kaç ta ise tam tersi bir durum olduğunu yazının başında söylemiştim . hikayenin önde olması ve meseleyi -para nedir ki - hikayenin zaten açıklığa kavuşturması reha erdemin montaj sinemasıyla uyuşmuyor . bireyin ne yapacağını bilememesi , düzeninin bozulma korkusu abartılı bir biçimde senaryoda zaten ifade edilmiş kaç para kaçta . gerçekliğin abartılı anlatımı reha erdem' in sinemanın kendini anlatması gerektiğini düşünmesinden dolayı meydana geliyor. filmde para sözcüğünün milyon kez tekrarlanması da buna örnek gösterilebilir . filmlerinde karakterlerin hep bir şeylerden korkmasını da ortak yön olarak gösterebiliriz

gus vant sant ın son filmi last days yönetmenin son yıllarda en tuttuğu filmlerden biriymiş. bunun dışında alfred hitchcock sinemasını kendine yakın hissettiğini ( doğallıktan uzak ,gerçekliğin yapay olduğunu farkettirmesi nedeniyle) ifade etmiştir . türk sinemasında ise bi bakıma metin erksanın takipçisi olduğunu söyler (montaj sineması ).

genesis 12

the call of abram

1 the lord had said to abram, "leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land i will show you.
2 "i will make you into a great nation
and i will bless you;
i will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.

3 i will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you i will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you."

4 so abram left, as the lord had told him; and lot went with him. abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from haran. 5 he took his wife sarai, his nephew lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in haran, and they set out for the land of canaan, and they arrived there.

6 abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of moreh at shechem. at that time the canaanites were in the land. 7 the lord appeared to abram and said, "to your offspring [a] i will give this land." so he built an altar there to the lord, who had appeared to him.

8 from there he went on toward the hills east of bethel and pitched his tent, with bethel on the west and ai on the east. there he built an altar to the lord and called on the name of the lord. 9 then abram set out and continued toward the negev.

abram in egypt

10 now there was a famine in the land, and abram went down to egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe. 11 as he was about to enter egypt, he said to his wife sarai, "i know what a beautiful woman you are. 12 when the egyptians see you, they will say, 'this is his wife.' then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 say you are my sister, so that i will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you."
14 when abram came to egypt, the egyptians saw that she was a very beautiful woman. 15 and when pharaoh's officials saw her, they praised her to pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. 16 he treated abram well for her sake, and abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels.

17 but the lord inflicted serious diseases on pharaoh and his household because of abram's wife sarai. 18 so pharaoh summoned abram. "what have you done to me?" he said. "why didn't you tell me she was your wife? 19 why did you say, 'she is my sister,' so that i took her to be my wife? now then, here is your wife. take her and go!" 20 then pharaoh gave orders about abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.

genesis 11

the tower of babel

1 now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 as men moved eastward, [a] they found a plain in shinar [b] and settled there.
3 they said to each other, "come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." they used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 then they said, "come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."

5 but the lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 the lord said, "if as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

8 so the lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 that is why it was called babel [c] —because there the lord confused the language of the whole world. from there the lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

from shem to abram

10 this is the account of shem.
two years after the flood, when shem was 100 years old, he became the father [d] of arphaxad. 11 and after he became the father of arphaxad, shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters.
12 when arphaxad had lived 35 years, he became the father of shelah. 13 and after he became the father of shelah, arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters. [e]

14 when shelah had lived 30 years, he became the father of eber. 15 and after he became the father of eber, shelah lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.

16 when eber had lived 34 years, he became the father of peleg. 17 and after he became the father of peleg, eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.

18 when peleg had lived 30 years, he became the father of reu. 19 and after he became the father of reu, peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.

20 when reu had lived 32 years, he became the father of serug. 21 and after he became the father of serug, reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.

22 when serug had lived 30 years, he became the father of nahor. 23 and after he became the father of nahor, serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters.

24 when nahor had lived 29 years, he became the father of terah. 25 and after he became the father of terah, nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.

26 after terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of abram, nahor and haran.

27 this is the account of terah.
terah became the father of abram, nahor and haran. and haran became the father of lot. 28 while his father terah was still alive, haran died in ur of the chaldeans, in the land of his birth. 29 abram and nahor both married. the name of abram's wife was sarai, and the name of nahor's wife was milcah; she was the daughter of haran, the father of both milcah and iscah. 30 now sarai was barren; she had no children.

31 terah took his son abram, his grandson lot son of haran, and his daughter-in-law sarai, the wife of his son abram, and together they set out from ur of the chaldeans to go to canaan. but when they came to haran, they settled there.

32 terah lived 205 years, and he died in haran.

genesis 10

the table of nations

1 this is the account of shem, ham and japheth, noah's sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.
the japhethites

2 the sons [a] of japheth:
gomer, magog, madai, javan, tubal, meshech and tiras.
3 the sons of gomer:
ashkenaz, riphath and togarmah.

4 the sons of javan:
elishah, tarshish, the kittim and the rodanim. [b] 5 (from these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)

the hamites

6 the sons of ham:
cush, mizraim, [c] put and canaan.
7 the sons of cush:
seba, havilah, sabtah, raamah and sabteca.
the sons of raamah:
sheba and dedan.

8 cush was the father [d] of nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 he was a mighty hunter before the lord; that is why it is said, "like nimrod, a mighty hunter before the lord." 10 the first centers of his kingdom were babylon, erech, akkad and calneh, in [e] shinar. [f] 11 from that land he went to assyria, where he built nineveh, rehoboth ir, [g] calah 12 and resen, which is between nineveh and calah; that is the great city.

13 mizraim was the father of
the ludites, anamites, lehabites, naphtuhites, 14 pathrusites, casluhites (from whom the philistines came) and caphtorites.

15 canaan was the father of
sidon his firstborn, [h] and of the hittites, 16 jebusites, amorites, girgashites, 17 hivites, arkites, sinites, 18 arvadites, zemarites and hamathites.
later the canaanite clans scattered 19 and the borders of canaan reached from sidon toward gerar as far as gaza, and then toward sodom, gomorrah, admah and zeboiim, as far as lasha.

20 these are the sons of ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.

the semites

21 sons were also born to shem, whose older brother was [i] japheth; shem was the ancestor of all the sons of eber.
22 the sons of shem:
elam, asshur, arphaxad, lud and aram.

23 the sons of aram:
uz, hul, gether and meshech. [j]

24 arphaxad was the father of [k] shelah,
and shelah the father of eber.

25 two sons were born to eber:
one was named peleg, [l] because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named joktan.

26 joktan was the father of
almodad, sheleph, hazarmaveth, jerah, 27 hadoram, uzal, diklah, 28 obal, abimael, sheba, 29 ophir, havilah and jobab. all these were sons of joktan.

30 the region where they lived stretched from mesha toward sephar, in the eastern hill country.

31 these are the sons of shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.

32 these are the clans of noah's sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations. from these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.

genesis 9

god's covenant with noah

1 then god blessed noah and his sons, saying to them, "be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 the fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 everything that lives and moves will be food for you. just as i gave you the green plants, i now give you everything.
4 "but you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5 and for your lifeblood i will surely demand an accounting. i will demand an accounting from every animal. and from each man, too, i will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man.

6 "whoever sheds the blood of man,
by man shall his blood be shed;
for in the image of god
has god made man.

7 as for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it."

8 then god said to noah and to his sons with him: 9 "i now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 i establish my covenant with you: never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."

12 and god said, "this is the sign of the covenant i am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 i have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 whenever i bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 i will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, i will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between god and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."

17 so god said to noah, "this is the sign of the covenant i have established between me and all life on the earth."

the sons of noah

18 the sons of noah who came out of the ark were shem, ham and japheth. (ham was the father of canaan.) 19 these were the three sons of noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the earth.
20 noah, a man of the soil, proceeded [a] to plant a vineyard. 21 when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 ham, the father of canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. 23 but shem and japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father's nakedness. their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father's nakedness.

24 when noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
"cursed be canaan!
the lowest of slaves
will he be to his brothers."

26 he also said,
"blessed be the lord, the god of shem!
may canaan be the slave of shem. [b]

27 may god extend the territory of japheth [c] ;
may japheth live in the tents of shem,
and may canaan be his [d] slave."

28 after the flood noah lived 350 years. 29 altogether, noah lived 950 years, and then he died.

genesis 8

1 but god remembered noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. 2 now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3 the water receded steadily from the earth. at the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of ararat. 5 the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

6 after forty days noah opened the window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. 8 then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 but the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to noah in the ark. he reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 10 he waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 11 when the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! then noah knew that the water had receded from the earth. 12 he waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.

13 by the first day of the first month of noah's six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 by the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.

15 then god said to noah, 16 "come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. 17 bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number upon it."

18 so noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives. 19 all the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on the earth—came out of the ark, one kind after another.

20 then noah built an altar to the lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21 the lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "never again will i curse the ground because of man, even though [a] every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. and never again will i destroy all living creatures, as i have done.

22 "as long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease."

genesis 7

1 the lord then said to noah, "go into the ark, you and your whole family, because i have found you righteous in this generation. 2 take with you seven [a] of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4 seven days from now i will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and i will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature i have made."

5 and noah did all that the lord commanded him.

6 noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 and noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8 pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, 9 male and female, came to noah and entered the ark, as god had commanded noah. 10 and after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.

11 in the six hundredth year of noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 and rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 on that very day noah and his sons, shem, ham and japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. 14 they had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings. 15 pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to noah and entered the ark. 16 the animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as god had commanded noah. then the lord shut him in.

17 for forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 the waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 they rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. 20 the waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet. [b] , [c] 21 every living thing that moved on the earth perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. 22 everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. 23 every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. only noah was left, and those with him in the ark.

24 the waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

genesis 6

the flood

1 when men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of god saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 then the lord said, "my spirit will not contend with [a] man forever, for he is mortal [b] ; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."
4 the nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of god went to the daughters of men and had children by them. they were the heroes of old, men of renown.

5 the lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 the lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 so the lord said, "i will wipe mankind, whom i have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for i am grieved that i have made them." 8 but noah found favor in the eyes of the lord.

9 this is the account of noah.
noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with god. 10 noah had three sons: shem, ham and japheth.

11 now the earth was corrupt in god's sight and was full of violence. 12 god saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 so god said to noah, "i am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. i am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 14 so make yourself an ark of cypress [c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. 15 this is how you are to build it: the ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. [d] 16 make a roof for it and finish [e] the ark to within 18 inches [f] of the top. put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 i am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. everything on earth will perish. 18 but i will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you. 19 you are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21 you are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them."

22 noah did everything just as god commanded him.

genesis 4

cain and abel

1 adam [a] lay with his wife eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to cain. [b] she said, "with the help of the lord i have brought forth [c] a man." 2 later she gave birth to his brother abel.
now abel kept flocks, and cain worked the soil. 3 in the course of time cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the lord. 4 but abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. the lord looked with favor on abel and his offering, 5 but on cain and his offering he did not look with favor. so cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 then the lord said to cain, "why are you angry? why is your face downcast? 7 if you do what is right, will you not be accepted? but if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."

8 now cain said to his brother abel, "let's go out to the field." [d] and while they were in the field, cain attacked his brother abel and killed him.

9 then the lord said to cain, "where is your brother abel?"
"i don't know," he replied. "am i my brother's keeper?"

10 the lord said, "what have you done? listen! your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 when you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. you will be a restless wanderer on the earth."

13 cain said to the lord, "my punishment is more than i can bear. 14 today you are driving me from the land, and i will be hidden from your presence; i will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."

15 but the lord said to him, "not so [e] ; if anyone kills cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." then the lord put a mark on cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 so cain went out from the lord's presence and lived in the land of nod, [f] east of eden.

17 cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to enoch. cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son enoch. 18 to enoch was born irad, and irad was the father of mehujael, and mehujael was the father of methushael, and methushael was the father of lamech.

19 lamech married two women, one named adah and the other zillah. 20 adah gave birth to jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 his brother's name was jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute. 22 zillah also had a son, tubal-cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of [g] bronze and iron. tubal-cain's sister was naamah.

23 lamech said to his wives,
"adah and zillah, listen to me;
wives of lamech, hear my words.
i have killed [h] a man for wounding me,
a young man for injuring me.

24 if cain is avenged seven times,
then lamech seventy-seven times."

25 adam lay with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him seth, [i] saying, "god has granted me another child in place of abel, since cain killed him." 26 seth also had a son, and he named him enosh.
at that time men began to call on [j] the name of the lord.

genesis 3

the fall of man

1 now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the lord god had made. he said to the woman, "did god really say, 'you must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
2 the woman said to the serpent, "we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but god did say, 'you must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "

4 "you will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "for god knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like god, knowing good and evil."

6 when the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

8 then the man and his wife heard the sound of the lord god as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the lord god among the trees of the garden. 9 but the lord god called to the man, "where are you?"

10 he answered, "i heard you in the garden, and i was afraid because i was naked; so i hid."

11 and he said, "who told you that you were naked? have you eaten from the tree that i commanded you not to eat from?"

12 the man said, "the woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and i ate it."

13 then the lord god said to the woman, "what is this you have done?"
the woman said, "the serpent deceived me, and i ate."

14 so the lord god said to the serpent, "because you have done this,
"cursed are you above all the livestock
and all the wild animals!
you will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.

15 and i will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring [a] and hers;
he will crush [b] your head,
and you will strike his heel."

16 to the woman he said,
"i will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
with pain you will give birth to children.
your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you."

17 to adam he said, "because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which i commanded you, 'you must not eat of it,'
"cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat of it
all the days of your life.

18 it will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.

19 by the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return."

20 adam [c] named his wife eve, [d] because she would become the mother of all the living.

21 the lord god made garments of skin for adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 and the lord god said, "the man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." 23 so the lord god banished him from the garden of eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 after he drove the man out, he placed on the east side [e] of the garden of eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

genesis 2

1 thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

2 by the seventh day god had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested [a] from all his work. 3 and god blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

adam and eve

4 this is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
when the lord god made the earth and the heavens- 5 and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth [b] and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the lord god had not sent rain on the earth [c] and there was no man to work the ground, 6 but streams [d] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground- 7 the lord god formed the man [e] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
8 now the lord god had planted a garden in the east, in eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 and the lord god made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 a river watering the garden flowed from eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 the name of the first is the pishon; it winds through the entire land of havilah, where there is gold. 12 (the gold of that land is good; aromatic resin [f] and onyx are also there.) 13 the name of the second river is the gihon; it winds through the entire land of cush. [g] 14 the name of the third river is the tigris; it runs along the east side of asshur. and the fourth river is the euphrates.

15 the lord god took the man and put him in the garden of eden to work it and take care of it. 16 and the lord god commanded the man, "you are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

18 the lord god said, "it is not good for the man to be alone. i will make a helper suitable for him."

19 now the lord god had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. he brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 so the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
but for adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 so the lord god caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 then the lord god made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 the man said,
"this is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [k] '
for she was taken out of man."

24 for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

25 the man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
