Creation & The Fall

Furthermore God said, Let vs make man in our image according to our likenes, and let them rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer the beastes, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery thing that creepeth and moueth on the earth.

Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female.

And God blessed them, and God said to them, Bring forth fruite and multiplie, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer euery beast that moueth vpon the earth.

And God said, Beholde, I haue giuen vnto you euery herbe bearing seede, which is vpon al the earth, and euery tree, wherein is the fruite of a tree bearing seede: that shall be to you for meate.

Likewise to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the heauen, and to euery thing that moueth vpon the earth, which hath life in it selfe, euery greene herbe shall be for meate. and it was so.

And God sawe all that he had made, and loe, it was very good. So the euening and the morning were the sixt day.

Thus the heauens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

For in the seuenth day GOD ended his worke which he had made, and the seuenth day he rested from al his worke, which he had made.

So God blessed the seuenth day, and sanctified it, because that in it he had rested from all his worke, which God had created and made.

These are the generations of the heauens and of the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heauens,

And euery plant of the fielde, before it was in the earth, and euery herbe of the field, before it grewe: for the Lord God had not caused it to raine vpon the earth, neither was there a man to till the ground,

But a myst went vp from the earth, and watered all the earth.

The Lord God also made the man of the dust of the grounde, and breathed in his face breath of life, and the man was a liuing soule.

And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had made.

(For out of the ground made the Lord God to grow euery tree pleasant to the sight, and good for meate: the tree of life also in the mids of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and of euill.

And out of Eden went a riuer to water the garden, and from thence it was deuided, and became into foure heads.

The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where is golde.

And the golde of that land is good: there is Bdelium, and the Onix stone.

And the name of the seconde riuer is Gihon: the same compasseth the whole lande of Cush.

The name also of the third riuer is Hiddekel: this goeth toward the Eastside of Asshur: and the fourth riuer is Perath)

Then the Lord God tooke the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, that he might dresse it and keepe it.

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Thou shalt eate freely of euery tree of the garden,

But of the tree of knowledge of good and euill, thou shalt not eate of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die the death.

Also the Lord God saide, It is not good that the man should be himself alone: I wil make him an helpe meete for him.

So the Lord God formed of the earth euery beast of the fielde, and euery foule of the heauen, and brought them vnto the man to see howe he would call them: for howsoeuer the man named the liuing creature, so was the name thereof.
