King James Version
8. The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9. And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10. Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. 11. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12. And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13. The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush. 14. The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates. 15. Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17. "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." 18. And the LORD God said, " It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." 19. Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. 21. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23. And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." 24. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
1. Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’ ?" 2. And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3. "but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’" 4. Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. 5. "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." 6. So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. 8. And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9. Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" 10. So he said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself." 11. And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?" 12. Then the man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate." 13. And 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, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. 15. And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel." 16. To the woman He said: "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you." 17. Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life. 18. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field. 19. In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are , And to dust you shall return." 20. And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. 21. Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them. 22. Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever" –– 23. therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. 24. So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

The priests: the sons of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred and seventy–three; 37. the sons of Immer, one thousand and fifty–two; 38. the sons of Pashhur, one thousand two hundred and forty–seven; 39. the sons of Harim, one thousand and seventeen. 40. The Levites: the sons of Jeshua and Kadmiel, of the sons of Hodaviah, seventy–four. 41. The singers: the sons of Asaph, one hundred and twenty–eight. 42. The sons of the gatekeepers: the sons of Shallum, the sons of Ater, the sons of Talmon, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hatita, and the sons of Shobai, one hundred and thirty–nine in all. 43. The Nethinim: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth, 44. the sons of Keros, the sons of Siaha, the sons of Padon, 45. the sons of Lebanah, the sons of Hagabah, the sons of Akkub, 46. the sons of Hagab, the sons of Shalmai, the sons of Hanan, 47. the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar, the sons of Reaiah, 48. the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda, the sons of Gazzam, 49. the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah, the sons of Besai, 50. the sons of Asnah, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephusim, 51. the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur, 52. the sons of Bazluth, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha, 53. the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Tamah, 54. the sons of Neziah, and the sons of Hatipha. 55.

All the Nethinim and the children of Solomon’s servants were three hundred and ninety–two. 59. And these were the ones who came up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not identify their father’s house or their genealogy, whether they were of Israel: 60. the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, and the sons of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty–two; 61. and of the sons of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Koz, and the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name. 62. These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but they were not found; therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled. 63. And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till a priest could consult with the Urim and Thummim. 64. The whole assembly together was forty–two thousand three hundred and sixty, 65. besides their male and female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty–seven; and they had two hundred men and women singers. 66. Their horses were seven hundred and thirty–six, their mules two hundred and forty–five, 67. their camels four hundred and thirty–five, and their donkeys six thousand seven hundred and twenty. 68. Some of the heads of the fathers’ houses , when they came to the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God, to erect it in its place: 69. According to their ability, they gave to the treasury for the work sixty–one thousand gold drachmas, five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priestly garments. 70. So the priests and the Levites, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
1. Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2. saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." 3. When Herod the king heard this , he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5. So they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: 6. ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.’" 7. Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared. 8. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him , bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also." 9. When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. 10. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12. Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way. 13. Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him." 14. When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, 15. and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called My Son." 16. Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. 17. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying: 18. "A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, Refusing to be comforted, Because they are no more." 19. But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20. saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child’s life are dead." 21. Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee. 23. And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, "He shall be called a Nazarene."
