CHAPTER I. 1 The creation of heaven and earth.... 14 Of the sun. moon, and stars.. ..26 Of man in Jie image of God.. ..29 Also the appointment of food. IN the beginning' God created the '' heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void : and darkness tvas upon the face of the deep : and the ' S))irit of God moved upon the face of tlic waters. 3 And "^ God said, Let there be light : and there was light. 4 And God saW the light, that it was good : and God t divided the light from the darkness. 6 And God called the light Day, and the dark- n(!ss he called Night. And the f evening and the morning were the first day. 6 II And God said, ' Let there bo j- a firmament in tiie midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the wa- ter.s which were under the firmament from the waters which were^ above the firmament: and it was so. H Aii(l God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 1i And God said. Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto ' one place, and let the dry lorid appear : and it was so. 10 And God called the«dry font? Earth, and the CTthering together of the waters called he Seas : and God saw that it tvas good. 1 1 And God said. Let the Earth t bring forth grass, the herb >;ielding seed, and the fruit-tree yield- ing fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itiielf, upon the earth : and it was so. 12 And the Earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his "kind, *and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed toas in itself, after his kind : and Gotl saw that it ivas good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. 14 II And God said, Let there be 'lights in the firmament of the heaven, to divide t the day from the night : and let them be for signs, and for sea- sons, and for days;, and years : 1 5 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven, to give light upon the earth : and it was so. 16 And Go«l made two great lights : ihe greater light to t rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night : he made the stars also. 17 And God " set them in tlie firmament of the heaven, to give light upon the earth, 18 And to' nile over the day and wr the night, and to divide the light from the darkne. : and God saw that it was gcK)d. 19 And the evening and the morning were the foifrth day. 20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath t lite, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firma- ment of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and ewrv living creature that moveth, Avhich the waters brougnt forth abundantly, after their kind, and (iverj' winged fowl after his kind : and Gtxl saw that it tvas good. 22 And God " blessed them, saj;ing. tie fruitful, and multiplj^, and fill the waters in tlie .seas ; ami let fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And tht evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24 And God said. Let the earth bring forth the living creature alter his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of tht v-arth after his kind : and it was so. 25 And God made tlie beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that cree[)eth upon the earth after his kind : and God saw that it ivas good. 26 And God said, "Let us make man in "our image, after our likeness,- and let them have ^dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image ; in the image of God created he him ; ""male and female created ne them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, ' Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it : and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth J upon the earth. 29 H And God said. Behold, I have given you every herb f bearing seed, which wupon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed ; " to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to * every beast of the earth, and vo every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there wf life, I have given every green herb for meat : and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and liehold, k was " very good.

S But Jonah rose up "^ to flee unto Tarshish ' from the i)resence of the Lokd, and went down to Jop- \y,\; and he found a ship going to Tarshisli : so lie paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with iliutn unto Tarshish ' from tlie presencti of the J..OUU. 4 lint the Loiiu 'sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man « unto his god, and '' cast forth the wan.vs that ivere in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them : but Jonah was gone down into the sides of tiie ship ; and_ he lay, and was ' fast asleep. 6 So the shipmaster came to him, ami said unto him, ''What meanest thou, O sleener.'' arise, 'call ii|)on thy G(x], if so be that God will think upon us, tiiiU we perish not. 7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us " cast lots, that we may kiiow for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot "fell upon Jonah. 8 Then said they unto him, " Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil tls upon us : What is '"thiiie occuiiation ? and whence comest thou ? what w thy country ? and of what people art thou ? 9 And he said unto thetn, I " am a Hebrew ; and ' I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land. 10 Then were the men exceedingly 'afraid, and said unto him, Why hast ' thou done this .'' (for the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.) 1 1 Then said they unto him, " What shall we do unio thee, that the sea may be calm unto iis ? (for the sea wrought, and was tempestuou.s.) 12 And he said unto them, "Take me up, and cast ine forth into the sea ; so shall the sea be calm unto you : for I know that ^ for my sake this great teiu- l)est is upon you. 13 Nevertheless, the men ^ rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they 'could not: for thcsea wrouglu, and was tempestuous against them. 14 \Vherel'orc they cried unto the Lord, and said, AVe beseech tii(:e, O Loan, we beseech thee, let us not perish for thi.s nraifs life, and lay not upon us innocent blood : for thou, O Lord, hast done '' as it jilensed thee. \o So they took up Jonah, and "^ cast hiin forth into the .sea ; anil the sea '' ceased from her raging. IG 'riien the men ' feared the Lord exceedingly, and 'Offered a sacrificte unto the Lonn, and made vows. 17 Now the L 3RD had ' prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and '' three nights. I CHAPTEK II. I I The prayer of Jonah : 10 lie is delivered out of the belly I of the lisli.

(Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey.) 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey ; and he cried, and said, '' Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. \ 5 So the ' i)eopIe of Nnieveh believed God, and }l)roclaiined a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the I greatest of them even to the least ollhem. 5 6 For word came unto the king of Ninevi.h, and i ' he arose liotii his throne, and he laid his robe fioin 5 him, and covered him witW sackcloth, and sat in J ashes. \ 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and f- piib- nishcvl through Nineveh, (by the decree of the king 5 and his nobles,) saying, Let neither man nor beast, I herd nor flock, taste any thing; letthemnot kv{\y iinr {drink water : 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, Bfft»r*» rilHl:*T rlr.

G ' For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hojie of the world, governed y thy hand, " escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation. 7 For blessed is the wood w hereby righteousness coinoth. 8 Jhit ' that which is made with hands is curseil, as well it, as he that made it : he, because he made it ; and it, because being corruptible, it was called God. y ' For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hate- ful unto God. U) tor * that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it. 11 Therefore even || upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there he a visitation : because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and '' t stumbling-blocks to the souls of men, and a || snaie to the feet of the unwise. 12 For the devising of idols was the beginning o( spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life. 13 For neither were they from ' the beginning, neither shall they be for ever. 14 For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end. IT) For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made i" an image of his child soon taken away, now hon- oured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices. ifi Thus T in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong iDaii. 6,a ,vas j^ppt 3s a law, ' and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of ij kings. 17 Whom men could not honour || in presence, because they dwell tar oil', they took the counterfeit of his visage I'rom f;ir, and made an express image of a king '" whom they honoured, to the end that by this tlieir forwardness they might Hatter him that was absent, as if he were present. I 8 Also the singular diligence of" the artificer did help to set forward the ignorant to more superstition. ly For he, peradventure, willing to [ilease one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance t of the best fashion. . 20 Andsothe multitude, allured by the grace oftlie work, took 5 1 him lor a god, which a little before was but honoured as a man. 2 1 And this was an occasion to leceive the world : for men, serving eitlier calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones anil stocks t'le incoiumiinicable ,1 name. 22 Moreover, this was not enough for them, that t''ey erred in the knowledge of God : hut whereas they lived in tlie great war of ignorance, those so great plagues cailcd they peace. 23 For whilst they '' slew their children in sacrifices, or used secret ('crenioiiies, or made revelling'' of stranire rites ; 24 They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer nnde- ; filed : but either one slew another traitorously, or grieved him bj adultery. Iiolli because they tliDuglit not well of (iod, i| giving heed unto : idols, and also unjiisliy swtire in deceit, ' despising holiness. II Or, lie- votid, t Ileh. 12, t PmJ. 5, f . verse 8.

For the wliicli cause not only llie Jews, but many also of otiier nations, took great indignation, and were much griev- ed for the unjust minder of the iiiaii. 3t) And wlien tlie king was come again from the places about Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the (ireeks that abhorred the fact also, cuiupluined because Onias was slain without cause. 37 Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behaviour of him tliat was dead. , 38 And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away Andronicus his |>urple, and rent oil his clothes, and leading him through the whoh; city unto that very place where he had committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed murderer. 'J lius th.- Lord rewarded him his punishment, as he had deserved. 39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the city by Lysimnchus with the consent of Alenelaus, and the bruit thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered them- selves together against Lysiniaciius, many vessels of gold be- ing already carried away. 40 Whereupon the common people rising, and being filled with rage, Lysimachus armed about thrive thousand men, and began (irst to olfer violence ; one || Auranus being the leader, a man far gone in years, and no less in folly. 41 They then seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, some of ihein caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust, that was next at hand, cast them all together upon Lysima- chus, and those that set upon them. 42 Thus many of them they wounded, and some they struck to the ground, and all oft/wm they forced to Hee ; but us for. the church-robber himself, him they killed beside the treasury. 43 Of these matters therefore there was an accusation laid against Menelaus. 44 Now when the king came to Tyrus, three men that were sent from the senate pleaded the cause bet'ore him : 45 But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee the non of Dorymenes, to give him much money, if he would pacify the king toward him. 46 Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside into a cer- tain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to be of another mind : 47 Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from the accusa- tions, who notwithstanding was cause of all the mischief : and those poor men, who. if they had told tlieir cause, yea, before the .Scythians, should have been judged innocent, them he condemned to death. 48 Thus they that followed the matter for the city, and for » huh u the people, and fur the holy vessels, did soon suiter unjust < mind. taken, Menelaus tied into the castle (> IJut Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, not con- sidering that to gel liie day of them of his own nation would be a most unhappy day for him ; but thinking ihey had been hit enemies, and not hin coimtrymen, whom he cnni|uered. 7 llowbiit, for all this he obtained not the principality, but at the last received shame lor the reward of his treason, and tied again into the country of the Ammonites. 8 In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being ac- cused before Arelas the king of the Arabians, tleeiiig from city to .My, pursued of all men, nated as a t'ursaker of the laws, and lieiii^ had in abomination as an open || enemy of jiis country and ((mntryinen, he was cast out into Lgynt. I 'J Thus he that had driven many out o)' their country, perish- ed in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and tliink- ; ing t/ivrc to lind succour by reason of his kindred : J 10 And he that had cast out many unburied had none to i; mourn lor him, nor any solemn funerals at all, nor sepulchre with his fathers. 1 1 Now when this that was done came to the king's ear, he thought that Judea had revolted : whereupon removing out of Kgypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms, 12 And commanded his : mi of war not to spare such as they inet, and to slay such as went up upon the houses. 13 Thus there was killing of young and old, making away of men, women, and children, slaying of virgins and infants. 14 And there were destroyed within three whole days four- score thousand, whereof forty thousand were slain in the con- flict ; and no fewer sold than slain. I 5 Yet was '>e not content with this, but presumed to go in- to the most holy temple of all the world ; Menelaus, that trai- tor to the laws, and to his o\\ n country, being his guide : IG And taking the holy vessels with polluted hands, and with profane hands pulling down the things that were dedi- cated by other kings to the augmentation and glory and hon- our of the place, he gave them away. 17 And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he con- sidered not that the Lord was angry for a while for the sins of them that dwelt in the city, and therefore his eye was not u|>- on the place. 18 For had they not been formerly wrapped in many sins, this man, as soon as he had come, had forthwith been scourg- ed, and put back from his presumption, as Heliodurus was, '.vhom Seleucus the king sent to view the treasury. 1 J Nevertheless, Uod did not choose the people for the place's sake, but the place for the people's sake. 20 And therefore the place itself, that was partaker with them of the adversity that happened to the nation, did after- ward communicate in the benefits sent from tlie Lord : anil as it was forsaken in the wrath of the Almighty, so again, the great Lord being reconciled, it was set up with all glory. 21 So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a thoii- sancl and eight hundred talents, he departed in all haste unto Antiochia, weening in his priile to make the land navigable, aiid the sea passable by foot : such was the haughtiness of his punishment. 49 Wherefore even they of Tyrus, moved with hatred that wicked deed, caused them to be honourably buried. .^0 And so, througli the covelousiiess of them that were power, Menelaus remained still in authority, increasing malice, and being a great traitor to the citizens. '4 lOr,.,,,.. (loiur. f I ,j -~ And he left governors (o vex the nation : at Jerusalem, of' Philip, for his country a Phrygian, and for manners more bar- i burous than he that set him there ; of I 23 And at (Jaiizim, Andronicus; and besides, Menelaus, in I who worse than ail tlie rest, bare a heavy hand over the citizens, ^having a malicious mind against his countrymen the Jews. iil I jlnnrrpyha.

B And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit a hundred-fold. And \vhen he had said these things, he cried. He that hath cars to hear, let him hear. 11 " And his disciples asked him, saying. What might this parable be .^ 10 '' Aufl he said, Uuro you it is given to know tlie mysteries of the kingdom of God : but to others in parables ; that seeing they might not see, and hear- ing they might not under&t:md. 1 1 11 ' Now the parable is this : The seed is the word of (jod 12 Those Cometh the their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 *■ They on the rock are they, wliich, when they hear, receive the word with joy ; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temi)- tatioa fall away. 14 5 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth and are choked with cares and riches and isleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to pertection. 15 But that on the good ground are they, which, in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. IG 11 '' No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed ; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. 1 7 ' For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest ; neither any thing hid that shall not be known and come abroad. 18 ''Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whoso- ever hath, to him shall be given ; and whosoever hath not, from, him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. 19 H'Theu came to him /«'.? mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. 20 And it was told him by certain, whicli said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desi-'ng to see thee. 21 "" And he answered and said unto them, ;>ly 107, (1 vi'rfle 31. 2 I'll. 2, 4.

CHAPTER I. Solomon's choice of wisdom is blessed by God. AND Solomon the son of David " was strength- ened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was ^ with him, ' and magnified him exceedingly. 2 Then Solomon '' spake imto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to tlie judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of tlie fathers. 3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the * high place that tvas at Gibeon : for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God,. which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the wilderness. 4 But the ark of God had David bi ought up from ^ Kirjath-jcarim to the place which David had prepfired for it : for he had pitched a tent for it at .Jerusalem. 5 Moreover, the '" brazen altar that Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the Loki) ; and Solomon and the congregation ' sought unto it. 6 And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar '' before the Lord, which loa^ at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt- offerings upon it. 7 In that ' night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unro him. Ask what 1 shall give thee. 8 And Solomon said unro God.

And there were wars between Rehol)oam and Jero- boam continually. 16 And Rehoboam 'slept with his fat hers, and was buried in the city of David : and Abijah liis son reigned in his stead.
