God

For surely I will require your blood, wherein your liues are: at the hand of euery beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, euen at the hand of a mans brother will I require the life of man.

Who so sheadeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God hath he made man.

God spake also to Noah and to his sonnes with him, saying,

Behold, I, euen I establish my couenant with you, and with your seede after you,

And my couenant will I establish with you, that from henceforth all flesh shall not be rooted out by ye waters of the flood, neither shall there be a flood to destroy the earth any more.

Then God saide, This is the token of the couenant which I make betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing, that is with you vnto perpetuall generations.

I haue set my bowe in the cloude, and it shalbe for a signe of the couenant betweene me and the earth.

And when I shall couer the earth with a cloud, and the bowe shall be seene in the cloude,

Then will I remember my couenant, which is betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing in all flesh, and there shalbe no more waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.

Therefore the bowe shalbe in the cloude, that I may see it, and remember the euerlasting couenant betweene God, and euery liuing thing in all flesh that is vpon the earth.

God said yet to Noah, This is the signe of the couenant, which I haue established betweene me and all flesh that is vpon the earth.

He said moreouer, blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.

God perswade Iapheth, that he may dwell in the tentes of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.

He was a mightie hunter before the Lord. wherefore it is saide, As Nimrod the mightie hunter before the Lord.

But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.

And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do.

Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.

So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.

Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.

For the Lord had said vnto Abram, Get thee out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and from thy fathers house vnto the land that I will shewe thee.

And I will make of thee a great nation, and will blesse thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing.

I will also blesse them that blesse thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

So Abram departed, euen as ye Lord spake vnto him, and Lot went with him. (And Abram was seuentie and fiue yeere olde, when he departed out of Haran)

And the Lord appeared vnto Abram, and said, Vnto thy seede will I giue this land. And there builded he an altar vnto the Lord, which appeared vnto him.

Afterward remouing thence vnto a moutaine Eastward from Beth-el, he pitched his tent hauing Beth-el on the Westside, and Haai on the East: and there he built an altar vnto the Lord, and called on the Name of the Lord.
