Differences Between This and Other Versions of the Bible:

The Canon of the Bible has been altered to include works that were originally known to be Divine. The criteria for such an inclusion include: a Book or Letter that was referenced in the Bible as being Divine, Predictions made that later came to pass as laid as a requirement for a prophet by Moses, and\or Books that were accepted by the Early Church as being Divine. These books include:

1st Enoch(First Book Only)

Ha-Jasher(The Book of the Dreaded Upright)

The Prayer of Manasseh(See History of the Prophets & Kings of Israel)

The Teachings of the Twelve Apostles(Didache)

Pauls Letter to the Church in Laodicea(See Letters of Paul)

There are many good books in society that we know the Lord was actively working, but we do not place them in the Bible. Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther have been removed as they do not meet the criteria set forward above. They also do not have the Lord actually speaking, which takes them out of the context of the Word of God. Furthermore statements made within them, esp. Ezra, contradict the Torah as well as Christs words in the Gospels.

Several Books have been combined to their original place and status, such as Ruth has been included in Judges, 1 & 2 Kings is now one book as well as 1 & 2 Chronicles as they are referenced as one book in the Hebrew Bible.

The order of books has also been altered for various reasons, such as by related subject matter, authors, to whom they were sent and\or for chronological reasons.

The names of the Individual Books of the Bible have been altered to reflect their authentic Biblical names. In most cases the name of the book is the first verse of the said book(Proverbs 1:1, Hosea 1:1, Joel 1:1, etc.) When this was not the case a reference has been provided as to how the title was determined, in most cases the reference is from another book in the Bible which references the said book.

Chapter sub-headers have been used as such when found within the Bible and also used as Chapter breaks when appropriate. As the book titles and sub-headers found within the Bible are no longer used as verses the verses within the Bible are not always consistent with traditional Bibles.

Lost Books have been marked, referenced, and when available included as part of the Canon.

References to previous prophecies made and fulfilled, no longer limited to New Testament books and letters, Old Testament and modern day fulfillment of prophecies included in this version. In several cases rather than a reference the passage is italicized in the text itself.

Words spoken by God(Father, Son, or Holy Ghost) have been underlined in both Old and New Testament Books.

The translation of Names, such as Israel and Jacob, has been italicized within the text for maximum clarity and understand of scripture.

Rather than Lord or God the names have been updated to accurately reflect the meaning of the word, often in plural forms, such as Elohim has been translated to The Gods of Life, etc. See section on 'Names of God Translation.

Older translations have been updated to modern language and vocabulary when available. This remains a continual process and may be updated further in later release.

Living Translation (What we are working on...)

Upon release we are looking for feedback from readers to see where we can improve. Not all works in Hebrew or Greek have an exact English Translation so from time to time we will make correction based on the advice and feedback of the audience. If and when paraphrases were needed to assist with understanding they were and will be italicized.

The Torah

The Book of the Law[footnoteRef:1] [1: The Book of the Law - Name Reference: Torah 181:58, 61, 182:21, 183:10, 184:24, 26, Joshua 1:8, 8:34, The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah 44:8, 11, The History of the Kings of Judah 63:15, Pauls Letter to the Church in Galatia 3:10, Nehemiah 8:3]

The Book of Moses[footnoteRef:2] [2: The Book of Moses - Name Reference: The History of the Kings of Judah 54:4, 64:12, The Gospel of Peter 12:26, Nehemiah 13:1, Ezra 6:18]

The Book of the Law of Moses[footnoteRef:3] [3: The Book of the Law of Moses - Book Name Reference: Joshua 8:31,23:6, The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah 36:6, Nehemiah 8:1]

The Law of the Lord[footnoteRef:4] [4: The Law of Love - Name Reference: The Book of the Dreaded Upright 56:7, 84:19-20, 87:7-8, Joshua, 24:26, The History of the Kings of Judah 46:9,63:14, Nehemiah 8:8,18,9:3, The Gospel of Luke 2:23-24, 39]

SECTION 1: In the beginning of the essence of time itself, as in before this time was not, my Gods of Life[footnoteRef:5] created the Earth and Sky [5: The Trinity found in the name of God: Elohim (Plural form of personal Creator with a singular pronoun he) The nature of God is in great debate, is God one, or three as in Father, Son and Spirit? Yet neither, Muslim(house of Moses), nor Jew(house of Aaron), dispute that he is the creator of all existence. Yet in the first verse of the Bible it states, In the beginning Gods of Life(plural form, Elohim) He(singular)createdIn fact this plural and single use of Elohim, which means Creator and used in reference to all aspects of creation in both Genesis and Ha-Jashar, is repeated more than 2000 times within scripture, including Torah 159:4 the most important commandment(Peter 12:29) Hear this oh Israel, our Preordainers of all, our Righteous One, our Preordainers of all, one. Sadly translators have only Elohim in the plural form when referencing false gods(Psalm 82:6) giving the readers an incomplete view of scripture. Yet while the name for God is plural in numerous locations throughout the Old Testament, the pronouns are always singular, such as I or he. See: Names of God Translation on page 644 for more information.]

1:1Now the Earth was a formless mass, devoid of life and created things, and the deepest darkness covered the surface of the Earth, yet the Spirit of the Gods of Life was moving across the surface of the Earth as a current of living water.

1:2The Gods of Life spoke, Let there be light. At his Word light came into existence and that light it did shine.

1:3The Gods of Life saw that the light was good.

1:4The Gods of Life separated the light from the darkness.

1:5The Gods of Life titled the light, Day and the darkness, Night. 1:6There was evening and there was morning: Day 1.

1:7The Gods of Life spoke, Let there be an atmosphere of water, but let that atmosphere be separated into two parts, a sky above, and oceans below. 1:8The Gods of Life created an atmosphere of water and then divided the atmosphere into a sky above and ocean below.

1:9The Gods of Life titled the atmosphere above, Sky. 1:10There was evening and there was morning: Day 2.

1:11The Gods of Life spoke, Let the water of the ocean evaporate into the sky until land appears. At his Word it was so.

1:12The Gods of Life titled the land, Earth, and the waters remaining, Oceans.

1:13The Gods of Life saw that it was good.

1:14The Gods of Life spoke, Let the Earth grow plants and vegetation of differing varieties, each yielding its own seed. Let the Earth also grow trees of differing varieties, each bearing their own fruit and yielding their own seed. 1:15At his Word it was so, the Earth grew plants and vegetation of different varieties, each yielding its own seed and also grew trees producing fruit of different varieties, each yielding their own seed.

1:16The Gods of Life saw that it was good. 1:17There was evening and there was morning: Day 3.

1:18The Gods of Life spoke, Be.[footnoteRef:6] [6: 1:18 This verse is referenced many times in the Quran: 2:117, 3:47, 6:74, 16:40, 19:35, 36:82, 40:68]

1:19Let there be lights in the vastness of the sky to separate day from night. From the effect of these lights on the day and the night will be a sign for the seasons, days, and years. Let these lights of the vastness of the sky be given to the Earth to be used on the Earth. At his Word it was so.

1:20The Gods of Life created two lights, the greater(the sun) to govern the day, and the lessor(the moon) to govern the night.

1:21The Gods of Life set into place each of the stars in the vastness of the sky, he gave them to the Earth to be used by the Earth. It is therefore through his creation that he governs the day and the night and separated the light from the darkness.

1:22The Gods of Life saw that it was good. 1:23There was evening and there was morning: Day 4.

1:24The Gods of Life spoke, Grant life to the oceans so that a plethora of marine and aquatic life may fill the seas. Grant life to the skies so that the heavens may be filled with innumerable flocks of birds. 1:25The Gods of Life created magnificent creatures of the deep, from great whales to the smallest hermit crab so that both the salt and fresh waters of the Earth were filled with vast varieties of fish and marine life each placed by their genius and species in their natural habitat according the environment that the Gods of Life had preordained for them.

1:26The Gods of Life saw that it was good.

1:27The Gods of Life pronounced this blessing upon them, Created ones of the water, create life, nurture and expand your creation so that the oceans, lakes and streams may be filled with life and you also of the air create so that the skies may be filled with life. 1:28There was evening and there was morning: Day 5.

1:29The Gods of Life spoke, Grant life to the continents so that herds of cattle, vast numbers of rodents and reptiles, as well as packs of wild animals may roam freely upon the Earth, grouping each, by their genius and species in their natural habitat according their environment. At his Word it was so. 1:30The Gods of Life created wild animals according to the natural habitat of their genius and species, herds of cattle according to the natural environment of their genius and species, as well as vast numbers of rodents and reptiles, all, according to the preordained areas of their genetics.

1:31The Gods of Life saw that it was good.

1:32Then the Gods of Life spoke, Let us create a human even a humanity in our image, after our design, so that they may govern the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move on the earth. 1:33The Gods of Life created humanity in his own design, in the form of my Creator, he created them, man and woman he created them. 1:34The Gods of Life pronounced this blessing upon them, Create life, nurture, and expand your creation so that humanity fills the earth and use it and shape it as you desire, ruling over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground, 1:35The Gods of Life continued declaring, I am here and now turning my creation over to you so that every plant and tree bearing fruit will be yours for food as well as all the animals of the earth, so that every bird of the air, and to all the creatures that move on the ground, everything that has the breath of life in it. At his Word it was so.

1:36The Gods of Life saw that it was good. 1:37The Gods of Life paused to appreciate and admire all that he had created and he saw it in all its awe and glory and it was good! There was evening, and there was morning: Day 6.

1:38By the seventh day the creation of the heavens and the earth had been accomplished in their fullness with all the created things dwelling as the Gods of Life had preordained them to be. 1:39The Gods of Life then rested, setting aside all of the labor from the previous days and pronounced a blessing on this seventh day, separating it out from among the other days of the week, making it holy, for it was on this day that the Gods of Life rested and put aside his labor of the essence of life.

SECTION 2: This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created when my Gods of Life, Love, made the earth and sky.

2:1Herbs of the meadow had not yet grown, nor the vegetation of the soil sprouted, for my Gods of Life, Love, had not yet permitted neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow to fall upon ground, furthermore humanity was not yet present to cultivate and plow the dead ground. 2:2Rather the wells from caverns would rise up in the form of springs and geysers and a great mist and fog would cover the great expanses of the living earth. 2:3My Gods of Life, Love, formed sinful mortal humanity from the dust of the dead ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man of death or dreaded humanity(Adam), meaning of the soil, became a living being. 2:4The Gods of Life, Love, planted a garden to the east from where he had formed the man of death in a valley called Eden. 2:5The Gods of Life, Love, made all vast varieties kinds of trees grow from the fertile soil, every tree that was pleasing to the eyes ripe with nutritious and life sustaining food. Among these trees was a tree of life described in Enoch 3:61-72 and Johns Revelation 22:2 and a tree of the knowledge of good and evil described in Enoch 3:96-99 which were placed in the center of the garden. 2:6A river flowed through Eden to water the garden dividing itself into four streams, 2:7the first, Pishon, flows through the entire land of Havilah, which is rich in gold, gold that is of the purest quality; pearls and lapis lazuli stones are also present in abundance). 2:8The name of the second river is Gihon which some believe to be the Nile; it runs through the entire land of Cush in Africa. 2:9The third river, Tigris, flows along the east side of Assyria, and the fourth is called the Euphrates.

2:10The Gods of Life, Love, took the Adam(the man of death) and settled him in the Garden of Eden as its caretaker and custodian. 2:11The Gods of Life, Love, laid out the rules for Adam(the man of death) and humanity alike, Take and eat the fruit from every tree of the garden without hesitation or worry, 2:12save one of which you are restricted, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for its fruit will lead to death for all who partake of it.

2:13The Gods of Life, Love, reasoned, It is not good for man to be alone. I will create a spouse for him to whom he can relate to. 2:14So my Gods of Life, Love, formed out of the living earth every living creature of the field and every bird of the air. He brought them to Adam to see by what name they would be called, and so that as humanity calls each living creature, that so its name shall be. 2:15So Adam christened all the animals: The birds of the air and the living creatures of the continents till all had been christened with their title, yet for Adam no suitable spouse to whom he could relate was found. 2:16So the Gods of Life, Love, caused Adam to fall fast sleep. While he slept, the Gods of Life, Love, took one of Adams ribs and enclosed it up with flesh. 2:17Then the Gods of Life created a woman from the portion he had taken out of Adam, and he brought her to Adam.

2:18Adam declared, At last one who is of me, I am a part of her and she is a part of me, for she is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; I shall christen this one woman, which means taken out of man, for she was taken out of Adam. 2:19It is for this reason that a man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become a new family. 2:20Adam and his wife were both stark-naked, yet they felt no shame.

3:1The snake was more cunning than any of the other animals that my Gods of Life, Love, created. The snake spoke to the woman, Is there any tree in the garden the Gods of Life warned we should not eat from?

3:2To this the woman replied to the snake, We may freely eat of any of fruit in the garden, 3:3however, concerning the fruit of the deadly tree that is in the middle of the garden the Gods of Life warned us, You must not eat from it or even touch it or you will die.

3:4The snake countered, I can assure you that you will not die, 3:5for the Gods of Life knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open and you will be like divine beings who know good and evil.

3:6So when the woman saw that the deadly tree was good for food, and that it looked pleasing to the eyes, and that the deadly tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.

3:7Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they knew that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together, and made loincloths for themselves.

3:8When they heard their Gods of Life voice, Love, walking in the garden in the cool of the day, sinful mortal Adam and his wife hid themselves from their Gods of Life presence, Love among the trees of the garden.

3:9His Gods of Life, Love called to sinful mortal Adam, Where are you?

3:10He answered, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself.

3:11He inquired, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the deadly tree, that I commanded you not to eat?

3:12Sinful mortal Adam argued, The woman you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit from the deadly tree and I ate it.

3:13Then her Gods of Life, Love questioned the woman, What is this you have done?

The woman declared, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

3:14Its Gods of Life, Love pronounced to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly you will go, and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 3:15I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he will bruise your head, and you will strike his heel.

3:16To the woman he pronounced, I will greatly multiply your pain and your conception. In pain you will give birth. Your desire will be to your husband, but he will rule over you.

3:17To Adam he pronounced, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the deadly tree I commanded you, stating, You may not eat from it, cursed is the dead ground because of you; in toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 3:18It will produce thorns and thistles and you will eat the plants of the field. 3:19By the sweat of your brow you will eat bread, until you return to the desolate ground from which you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you will return.

3:20Then sinful mortal Adam named his wife Eve, which means living because she was the mother of all living.

3:21Their Gods of Life, Love made clothing of animal skins for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.

3:22Our Gods of Life, Love exclaimed, Look, the sinful mortal man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and also take from the deadly tree of life, eat, and live forever. 3:23Therefore our Gods of Life, Love sent him out of the Garden of Eden, to till the hard ground from which he was taken. 3:24So he drove the sinful mortal man out; and he placed at the east of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

4:1Now the sinful mortal man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and gave birth to Cain which means produced, proclaiming, I have produced a man with the help of Love.

4:2Again she bore his brother Abel, which means breath or vapor. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain a tiller of the fertile ground.

4:3Over the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the desolate ground as an offering to Love, 4:4while Abel brought some of the fat of the firstlings of his flock. Love looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 4:5but he did not look with favor on Cain and his offering. So Cain was smoldering and his face downcast. 4:6Then Love advised Cain, Why are you upset, and why is your face downcast? 4:7If you do well, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door. It desires to have you, but you must rule over it.

4:8Now Cain spoke to Abel, his brother. Let's go out into the field. When they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.

4:9Love asked Cain, Where is your brother Abel?

He lied, I do not know, am I my brother's keeper?

4:10He exclaimed, What have you done? Listen! The voice of your brothers blood cries to me from the desolate ground. 4:11Now you are cursed from the desolate ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brothers blood from your hand. 4:12When you till the hard ground, it will no longer yield to you its strength. A fugitive and a wanderer you will be on the earth.

4:13Cain pleaded with Love, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 4:14Behold, today you have banished me from the face of the fertile ground. I will be hidden from your face. I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth and whoever finds me will kill me.

4:15So Love revealed to him, Not so, for whoever kills Cain will suffer vengeance sevenfold, which was fulfilled in the Book of the Dreaded Upright 2:26-35. Then Love put a mark on Cain, so that no one finding him would murder him.

4:16Then Cain went out from the presence of Love and dwelled in the land of Nod, to the east of Eden. 4:17Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bore Enoch, which means dedicated. Then Cain built a city and dedicated after the name of his son, Enoch. 4:18To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech, which means to make low. 4:19Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah, which means Adornment, and the name of the other Zillah, which means shade or shadow. 4:20Adah gave birth to Jabal, which means gliding away. He was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock. 4:21His brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and pipe. 4:22Zillah also gave birth to a son, Tubal-cain, the forger of all tools of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain's sister was Naamah.

4:23Then Lamech sobbed to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice you wives of Lamech, listen to my speech. For I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for hurting me. 4:24If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.(Further Insight: Levi 18:21-22; Luke 17:3-4)

4:25Now Adam knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and called his name Seth, which means Appointed. For, she expressed, The Gods of Life has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain killed him. 4:25A son was also born to Seth, and he called his name Enosh, which means humanity, but can also mean human-being. Then men began to call upon the name of Love.

SECTION 3: The Family Line of Adam

This is the record of the family line of Adam.

5:1In the day when the Gods of Life created man, he made him in the likeness of our Gods of Life. 5:2Male and female he created them, and blessed them, and called them humanity in the day when they were created. 5:3When Adam was 130 years old, he fathered of a son in his own likeness, after his image; and named him Seth. 5:4Adam lived 800 years after the birth of Seth, and he had other sons and daughters. 5:5So all the days of Adam were 930 years, and he died.

5:6When Seth was 105 years old, he fathered Enosh. 5:7Seth lived 807years after the birth of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters. 5:8So all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.

5:9When Enosh was 90 years old; he fathered Keenan, which means to take possession. 5:10Enosh lived 815 years after the birth of Keenan, and he had other sons and daughters. 5:11So all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.

5:12When Keenan was 70 years old; he fathered Mahalalel, which means Praise of God.

5:13Kenan lived 840 years after the birth of Mahalalel, and he had other sons and daughters. 5:14So all the days of Keenan were 910 years, and he died.

5:15When Mahalalel was 65years old, he fathered Jared. 5:16Mahalalel lived 830 years after the birth of Jared, which means Descending, and he had other sons and daughters. 5:17So all the days of Mahalalel were 895years, and he died.

5:18When Jared was 162 years old, he fathered Enoch. 5:19Jared lived 800 years after the birth of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters. 5:20So all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.

5:21When Enoch was 65 years old; he fathered Methuselah, which means when he dies it shall come. 5:22Enoch walked with his Gods of Death for 300 years after the birth of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. 5:23So all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 5:24Enoch walked with his Gods of Death and he was not, because the Gods of Life took him.

5:25When Methuselah was 187 years old, he fathered Lamech. 5:26Methuselah lived 782 years after the birth of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters. 5:27So all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died.

5:28When Lamech was 182 years old, he fathered a son. 5:29He named him Noah, meaning Peace and Rest, announcing, He will bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands, because of the ground that Love has cursed. 5:30Lamech lived 595 years after the birth of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters. 5:31So all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died. 5:32When Noah was 500 years old, he fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the father of the Caucasian Peoples.

5:33When sinful mortal men began to multiply on the face of the fallen earth, and daughters were born to them, 5:34the Watchers, sons of the Gods of Death saw that the daughters of sinful mortal men were beautiful, and any they wanted they took for their wives. 5:35Then Love declared, My spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is flesh; his days will be 120 years. 5:36The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of the Gods of Death went to the daughters of sinful mortal men, and they had children, who became the heroes of old, warriors of renown, found in Enoch 2:1-9. 5:37Love saw that the wickedness of sinful mortal man was great on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 5:36Love was sorry that he had made sinful mortal humans on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

5:37Love pronounced, I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the earth; man, and animals, and creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry I ever made them. 5:38But Noah found favor in the eyes of Love.

SECTION 4: This is the Account of Noah.

6:1Noah was a righteous man and blameless in his generation. Noah walked with his Gods of Death. 6:2Noah fathered three sons, Shem, the middle child, which means Fame, Ham, the youngest, which means Heat, and Japheth, the eldest, which means To Expand. 6:3Now the earth was corrupt in the eyes of our Gods of Death saw the earth was filled with violence. 6:4Our Gods of Death saw that the earth was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their ways on the earth, as described in Enoch 2:7-9. 6:5So the Gods of Life revealed to Noah, I have decided to put an end to all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; now look, I will destroy them along with the earth. 6:6Make yourself an ark of gopherwood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with tar inside and out. 6:7Now this is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 450 feet, its width 75 feet, and its height 45 feet. 6:8Make a roof for the ark leaving an opening of 18 inches around the top. Put a door in the side of the Ark. Make it with lower, second, and third decks. 6:9For behold, I will bring flood waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life. Everything that is in the earth will die. 6:10But I will establish my covenant with you; and you, your sons, your wife and your sons wives will come into the Ark. 6:11From every living thing of every kind, you shall bring two of every kind, male and female, into the ark, to keep them alive with you. 6:12Of the birds after their kind and of the animals after their kind, of everything that creeps on the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you, to keep them alive. 6:13Also take with you all kinds of food, for yourself. Store it up and it will be food for you and for them.

6:14So Noah did everything that the Gods of Life commanded him. 7:1Then Love commanded Noah, Enter the ark, you and all your family, for I have seen that you alone are righteous before me in this generation. 7:2Of every clean animal, take seven pairs, the male and its female; and of the animals that are not clean, one pair, the male and its female. 7:3Of the birds of the sky, seven pairs, male and female, to keep their kind alive on the face of all the earth. 7:4In seven days, I will cause it to rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. Then I will blot out every creature that I have made from the face of the earth. 7:5Noah did everything Love commanded him.

7:6Noah was 600 years old when the flood came on the earth. 7:21Then Noah entered the ark, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood. 7:7Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 7:8two by two, male and female, they entered the ark with Noah, just as the Gods of Life commanded Noah. 7:9After seven days, the flood waters came on the earth. 7:10In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that very day all the fountains of the great deep burst out, and the windows of heaven were opened. 7:11The rain fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights. 7:12In the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, the father of the Caucasian Peoples, along with Noah's wife and his son's three wives, entered into the ark; 7:13they and every animal after its kind, and all the livestock after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every sort of bird. 7:14Two by two from all flesh which had the breath of life, they went in with Noah into the Ark.

7:15Those that entered in went in male and female of every kind, just as the Gods of Life commanded him. Then Love shut him in. 7:16Now the flood continued forty days on the earth; and the waters increased, and floated the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 7:17The waters rose and increased higher on the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters. 7:18Finally, the waters rose greatly on the earth; so that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. 7:19The waters rose twenty-two feet high over the mountains. 7:20All flesh died that moved on the earth: birds, livestock, animals, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and all sinful mortal human beings. 7:21All in whose nostrils the breath of life was and that lived on the dry land, died, for my Gods of Life which gave the breath of life in Torah 2:3, he, can also take it away, as it is written in Job 34:13-15. 7:22He wiped out every living thing that was upon the face of the desolate ground, man, livestock, creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the Ark. 7:23The waters covered the earth for 150 days.

8:1But the Gods of Life remembered Noah, and all the wild animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the Ark. Then his Gods of Life made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided. 8:2The springs of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained. 8:3So the waters gradually receded from off the earth. Then after 150 days the waters had gone down. 8:4The ark rested in the seventeenth day of the seventh month, on the mountains of Ararat, which is located in eastern Turkey along the border with Iran. 8:5The waters continued to recede until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible. 8:6At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made 8:7and sent out a raven. It flew back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8:8Then he sent out a dove, to see if the waters had receded from off the face of the ground. 8:9But the dove found no place for its feet to land. So it returned to him in the ark, for the waters still covered the face of the whole earth. Then he put forth his hand, and took it, and brought it back to him in the Ark. 8:10After waiting seven more days, again he sent out the dove from of the Ark. 8:11In the evening, when the dove came back to him; there was in her mouth a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. 8:12Then he stayed seven more days, and sent out the dove. This time it did not again return to him.

8:13Now in Noah's six hundred and first year, in the first day of the first month, the waters were dried up from off the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark and saw the face of the ground was drying. 8:14In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

8:15Then the Gods of Life commanded Noah, Go out of the ark, you and your wife, your sons and your sons wives with you. 8:16Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh--birds, livestock and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth--that they may breed abundantly in the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.

8:17So Noah went out with his sons, his wife and his sons' wives. 8:18Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird and everything that moves on the earth, went out of the ark by their families. 8:19Then Noah built an altar to Love, and took some of all the clean beasts and clean birds, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

8:20Love smelled the sweet aroma. Love expressed in his heart, I will never again curse the ground because of sinful mortal human beings, for the imagination of the sinful mortal human heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again destroy every living thing as I have done. 8:21As long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.

9:1Then the Gods of Life blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, Create life, nurture, and expand your creation so that humanity fills the earth. 9:2The fear and the dread of you will be on every beast of the earth, every bird of the sky, everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; they are delivered into your hand. 9:3Every moving thing that lives will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, now I give everything. 9:4But you shall not eat meat with its life, that is, its blood still in it. 9:5I will surely require a reckoning for your lifeblood; from every beast will I require it, as well as from sinful mortal human beings. I will demand an accounting for sinful mortal human life. 9:6Whoever sheds human blood; by a human shall that persons blood be shed. For human beings were made in the image of the Gods of Life and his likeness. 9:7Now be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly on the earth, and multiply in it.

9:8Then the Gods of Life affirmed to Noah and his sons, Look, I now establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you, 9:9and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth; all those that have come out of the ark--for every creature on the earth. 9:10I establish my covenant with you. Never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; and never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth. 9:11The Gods of Life continued affirming, This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature with you, for all future generations: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of a covenant between me and the earth. 9:12When I bring clouds over the earth, and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant, that is between me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh. 9:13When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the everlasting covenant between Myself, your Gods of Life, and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth. 9:14Then the Gods of Life concluded his conversation with Noah asserting, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.

9:15Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark, were Shem(the father of the Asian Peoples), Ham(the father of the African Peoples) and Japheth(the father of the Caucasian Peoples). Ham was the father of Canaan. 9:16These three were the sons of Noah; from these the whole earth was populated.

9:17Then Noah began tilling the soil and he planted a vineyard. 9:18When he drank some of the wine, he got drunk, and he lay uncovered in his tent. 9:19Ham, the father of Canaan, which means humbled or made low, observed the nakedness of his father and while gossiping he mocked him in conversations with his two brothers outside. 9:20Shem(the father of the Asian Peoples) and Japheth(the father of the Caucasian Peoples) however, having compassion on their father took a garment and laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. So their faces turned backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

9:21Now when Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, he exclaimed, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants he will be to his brothers. 9:22Then he continued prophesying, Blessed be Love, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant. 9:23May my Gods of Life expand the territory of Japheth, the father of the Caucasian Peoples, which was fulfilled in the days of European Colonialism. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem, as prophesied in Isaiah 14:1-2; 60:3,10,12,14,61:5, and Ezekiel 47:22, and let Canaan be the slave of Japheth(the Caucasians).

9:24After the flood, Noah lived 350 years. 9:25So all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.

SECTION 5: This is the Account of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth--after the flood sons were born to them.

10:1The sons of Japheth, the father of the Caucasian Peoples: Gomer(the father of the Greeks), Magog(the father of the Russians), Madai, Javan, Tubal(the father of the Italians, Romans, and Spanish), Meshech(the father of the Georgians and Armenians) , and Tiras. 10:2The sons of Gomer(the father of the Greeks): Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah. 10:3The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim and Rodanim. 10:4From these the seafaring peoples spread into their lands, each with its own language, by their families in their nations.

10:5The sons of Ham(the father of the African Peoples): Cush(which settled in Ethiopia), Mizraim, which settled in Egypt, Put and Canaan, which settled in the Middle East. 10:6The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

10:7Cush fathered Nimrod; he became a mighty warrior on the earth. 10:8He was a mighty hunter before Love; therefore came the adage, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Love. (The Account of Nimrod is found the Book of the Dreaded Upright 7:23-33) 10:9The beginning of his Kingdom was in Babel, Erech, Akkad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 10:10From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, 10:11and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that one is a great city.

10:12Mizraim fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim and Caphtorim from whom the Philistines came.

10:13Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, Heth, and the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites spread out. 10:14The territory of the Canaanites was from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar, to Gaza, all the way over to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

10:15These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, languages, lands and nations.

10:16To Shem, the father of the Asian Peoples, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother was Japheth(the Caucasians), children were born. 10:17The sons of Shem: Elam, the father of the Persian people settled in modern day Iran, Asshur, Arpaxad, Lud and Aram. 10:18The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash. 10:19Arpaxad fathered Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber. 10:20To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan. 10:21Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 10:22Their territory was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, in the mountains to the east.

10:23These are the sons of Shem, by their families, languages, lands and nations.

10:24These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations. From these the nations spread out on the earth after the flood.

10:25The whole earth had one language and used the same words. 10:26As they journeyed east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 10:27They discussed to one another, Come, let us make bricks and bake them hard. They had brick for stone and tar for mortar. 10:28Then they proclaimed, Come, let us build a city for ourselves, with a tower that reaches up to heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; lest we be scattered all over the face of the whole earth.

10:29But Love came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of sinful mortal men had built. 10:30Love declared, Look, they are one people, and they all have one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do. Now nothing will stop them from what they plan to do. 10:31Come let us go down, and confuse their language, so that they will not understand each others speech. 10:32So Love scattered them from there all over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city. 10:33Therefore its name was called Babel; because there Love confused the language of all the earth. From there Love scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

SECTION 6: This is the Account of Shem's family.

11:1When Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad two years after the flood. 11:2After he became the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

11:3When Arphaxad was 35years old; he became the father of Shelah. 11:4After he became the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

11:5When Shelah was 30 years old; he became the father of Eber. 11:6After he became the father of Eber, Shelah lived 403 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

11:7When Eber was 34 years old; he became the father of Peleg. 11:8After he became the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

11:9When Peleg was 30 years old; he became the father of Reu. 11:10After he became the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

11:11When Reu was 32 years old; he became the father of Serug. 11:12After he became the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

11:13When Serug was 30 years old; he became the father of Nahor.

11:14After he became the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years, and he had other sons and daughters. 11:15When Nahor was 29 years old; he became the father of Terah.

11:16After he became the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years, and he had other sons and daughters. 11:17When Terah was 70 years old; he became the father of Abram, which means High Father, Nahor, and Haran, Mountaineer or Mountainous.

SECTION 7: This is the Account of Terah's family.

12:1Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran fathered Lot. 12:2Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, as is written in the Book of the Dreaded Upright 12:9-26, in Ur of the Chaldeans. 12:3Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, which means Princess; and the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah, which means Queen--the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah. 12:4Now Sarai was barren; she had no child. 12:5Then Terah took Abram his son, and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and together they moved out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to go to the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran they stayed there. 12:6The days of Terah were 205years, and Terah died there in Haran.

12:7Now Love told Abram, Leave your country, your relatives and your fathers house, and go to the land that I will show you. 12:8I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 12:9I will bless those who bless you, and he who curses you, I will curse. Through you all the families of the fallen earth will be blessed.

12:10So Abram left, as Love had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75years old when he left Haran. 12:11Abram took Sarai his wife, his nephew Lot and all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan. Then they came to the land of Canaan. 12:12Abram traveled through the land to the site of Shechem, by the oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanites were in the land at that time.

12:13Love appeared to Abram, and divulged, To your descendants I will give this land. 12:14There he built an altar to Love who had appeared to him.

12:15From there he moved on to the hill country to the east of Bethel, where he pitched his tent with Bethel to the west, and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to Love, and called on the name of Love.

12:16Then Abram continued journeying south by stages toward the Negev. 12:17Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down into Egypt to stay there since the famine was severe in the land.

12:18As he was about to enter Egypt, he told Sarai his wife, Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman. 12:19When the Egyptians see you, they will say, 'This is his wife.' Then they will kill me, but let you live. 12:20So please say you are my sister that it may be well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared because of you.

12:21So it happened that when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman was very beautiful. 12:22When Pharaoh's officials saw her, they recommended her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house. 12:23So he treated Abram well for her sake and he had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, and male and female servants, female donkeys, and camels. 12:24But Love plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife. 12:25So Pharaoh called Abram, and exclaimed, What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 12:26Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her for my wife? Now therefore here is your wife, take her, and get out of here. 12:27Then Pharaoh ordered his men concerning him, and they escorted him, his wife, and all that he had away. It was here where Sarah acquired Hagar, Pharaohs daughter as her bond-servant as it is written in the Book of the Dreaded Upright 15:31-32. 12:28So Abram left Egypt, he, his wife, and Lot and all that he had, and went into the Negev.

13:1Now Abram was very rich in livestock, silver and gold. 13:2nd he journeyed on from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai. 13:3This was the place where he had first made an altar. There Abram called on the name of Love.

13:4Now Lot, who also traveled with Abram, had flocks, herds and tents. 13:5The land could not support both of them together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together. 13:6So strife broke out between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land. 13:7Then Abram told Lot, Let there be no conflict between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are family. 13:8Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you take the right, then I will go to the left. 13:9Then Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the Jordan valley, that it was well watered everywhere like the garden of Love, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar. This was before Love had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. 13:10So Lot chose the entire Jordan valley. Then Lot traveled east and they separated from each other. 13:11Abram settled in the land of Canaan, and Lot settled in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13:12Now the men of Sodom were wicked and great sinners against Love.

13:13Then Love told Abram, after that Lot had separated from him, Lift up your eyes, and look toward the north, south, east and west; for all the land that you see, I will give to you and to your descendants forever. 13:14I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if a person can count the dust of the earth, then your seed also will be able to be counted. 13:15Get up, walk through the length and breadth of the land; for I will give it to you. 13:16Then Abram moved his tent, and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron. There he built an altar to Love.

14:1In the days of Amraphel King of Shinar, Arioch King of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer King of Elam and Tidal King of Goiim, 14:2they made war with Bera King of Sodom, Birsha King of Gomorrah, Shinab King of Admah, Shemeber King of Zeboiim and the King of Bela(that is, Zoar). 14:3All these joined forces in the Valley of Siddim(that is, the Salt or Dead Sea). 14:4For twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 14:5So in the fourteenth year Kedorlaomer, and the Kings that were with him, came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, and the Horites in the mountains of Seir, as far as El-paran, on the edge of the wilderness. 14:6Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat(that is Kadesh), and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who lived in Hazazon-tamar. 14:7Then the King of Sodom, the King of Gomorrah, the King of Admah, the King of Zeboiim, and the King of Bela(that is, Zoar) went out and prepared for battle against them in the Valley of Siddim; against Kedorlaomer King of Elam, Tidal King of Goiim, Amraphel King of Shinar and Arioch King of Ellasar--four Kings against the five. 14:8Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and as the Kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled some fell into them, while the rest fled into the hills. 14:9So the victors seized all the plunder of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and went their way. 14:10They also took Lot, Abram's nephew, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. 14:11But one who escaped came and told Abram the Arab[footnoteRef:7] who lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshkol, and brother of Aner who were Abram's allies. 14:12When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he mustered 318 of his trained men, born in his house, and pursued as far as Dan. 14:13Now he divided his forces against them at night, he and his servants, and defeated them, and pursued them to Hobah, just north of Damascus. 14:14Then he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his nephew Lot with his goods, and the women and the people. 14:15After his return from his victory over Kedorlaomer and the Kings that were with him, the King of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh(that is, the King's Valley). [7: 14:11 Abraham the Hebrew or the Arab? The term Hebrew is the Greek form of the word taken from the Greek Translation of the Bible, the Septuagint. The actual pronunciation of the word Hebrew in Hebrew,, is Abree which in Arabic is translated son of Abram, singular or Abreem,, plural. With this in mind consider that Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and the other Israel were all referenced as Abreem, Sons of Abram in the Bible. But like their father they have been renamed from Abree Son of Abram to Arabee or Arab meaning, Son of Abraham. Though it is a name ridiculed by the nations it is yet a name that Love himself has bestowed upon them(Is 62:2). The name of the nation of Arabia takes its prophetic name as the nation of the descendants of Abrahams Birthright. The land itself has also been renamed from Arabah(Torah 154:6-8 Zechariah 14:10; Isaiah 33:9; Amos 6:4; Joshua 11:2,16;12:1,8; Ezekiel 47:8; Samuel 33:29; The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah 36:29, etc.), Land of Abram to Arabia, Land of Abraham. Thus Arabia literal translation is land of the Hebrews(Torah 40:15 ) or land of Abraham. ]

14:16Then Melchizedek(Shem), which means King of Righteousness, who was the King of Salem, which means Peace, the same city known in modern times as Jerusalem, brought out bread and wine; he was priest of the Most High. 14:17He blessed him, and pronounced, Blessed be Abram by the Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. 14:18Blessed be the Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

14:19Then the King of Sodom told Abram, Give me the people, but keep the goods for yourself.

14:20But Abram replied to the King of Sodom, I have lifted my hand swearing to Love, the Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, that I will not take even a thread or a thong of a sandal or anything that is yours, so that you will never say, 'I made Abram rich.' 14:21I will accept what my young men have eaten and the share for the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their share.

15:1After these things the Word of Love came to Abram in a vision, proclaiming, Fear not, Abram, I am your shield, and your reward will be very great.

15:2But Abram replied, O Love, my Preordainers of all, what will you give me, since I am still childless, and Eliezer of Damascus is the heir of my estate? 15:3Then Abram continued stating, Look, you have given me no children, so one of my servants will be my heir.

15:4Then the Word of Love came to him, asserting, This man will not be your heir. But a son coming from your own body will be your heir. 15:5Bringing him outside he smiled, Look up at the heavens, and count the stars, if you can count them. Then he told him, Thats how many your descendants will be. 15:6Abram believed Love; and he reckoned it to him as righteousness.

15:7Then Love told him, I am Love who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land as your possession.

15:8But Abram replied, O Love, my Preordainers of all, how can I know that I will inherit it?

15:9Love told him, Bring me a three-year old heifer, a three-year old female goat, a three-year old ram, a turtledove and a young pigeon. 15:10So Abram brought him all these, and cut them in two, and laid each half beside the other. But he did not cut the birds in two. 15:11When birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away. 15:12Now as the sun was going down, Abram fell into a deep sleep; and a deep and dreadful darkness came over him. 15:13Then Love told Abram, Know for certain that your descendants will be aliens in a land that is not theirs, and they will be slaves and oppressed there for four hundred years. 15:14But I will punish that nation that they will serve, and afterward they will come out with great wealth. 15:15But you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age. 15:16They will come back here after fourth generations, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.

15:17When the sun went down, and it was dark, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. 15:18In that day Love made a covenant with Abram, affirming, To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt, the Nile, to the great river, the Euphrates River: the land of the Kenites located in Saudi Arabia, Kenizzites located in Yemen, Djibouti, and Eritrea, Kadmonites located in the general vicinity of Oman and Qatar, Hittites located in Turkey, Lebanon and Syria, Perizzites located in Palestine, Rephaites located in Palestine, Amorites located in Jordan and Iraq, Canaanites, located in Palestine, Girgashites, also located in Palestine and Jebusites, located in Jerusalem.

16:1Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian servant, whose name was Hagar, which means forsaken or stranger. 16:2Sarai told Abram, Look now, Love has prevented me from having children. Go, sleep with my servant; perhaps I may obtain children by her. Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 16:3So Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife. This happened ten years after Abram had settled in the land of Canaan.

16:4Now Abram slept with Hagar, and she became pregnant. When she saw that she was pregnant, she despised her mistress Sarai. 16:5Then Sarai told Abram, You are responsible for this wrong done to me. I gave my servant into your embrace and when she saw that she was pregnant, she despised me. May Love judge between you and me.

16:6But Abram replied to Sarai, Look, your servant is under your authority. Do to her whatever you think best. Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, so she ran away from her.

16:7The angel of Love found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, the spring beside the road to Shur. 16:8He inquired, Hagar, Sarai's servant, where have you come from and where are you going? Then she wept, I am running away from my mistress Sarai.

16:9Then the angel of Love told her, Return to you mistress, and submit to her authority. 16:10The angel of Love told her, I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will not be able to be numbered(The population of India, that is to say Ishmael, as of July 2008 is 1,147,995,904). 16:11The angel of Love told her, Look, you are pregnant and will give birth to a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, which means God Hears or God Listens, because Love has listened to your affliction. 16:12He will be a wild donkey of a man. His hand will be against everyone, and everyone's hand will be against him. He will live having hostility against all his brothers and dwell east of all of them.

16:13So she called on the name of Love who spoke to her, You are the All Seeing One; for she asked, Have I really seen the One who sees me? 16:14That is why the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is between Kadesh and Bered. 16:15So Hagar bore Abram a son. Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. 16:16Now Abram was 86 years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

17:1When Abram was 99 years old, Love appeared to Abram, and told him, I am the Invincible. Walk before me, and be blameless. 17:2I will make my covenant between me and you, and will give you numerous descendants. 17:3Then Abram fell on his face; and the Gods of Life told him, 17:4As for me, this is my covenant with you; you will be the father of a multitude of nations. 17:5No longer will your name be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, which means Father of Many, because I will make you the father of a multitude of nations, fulfilled through the Arab League of Nations presently 22 nations. 17:6I will make you extremely fruitful, and I will make nations from you, and Kings will come from you. 17:7I establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant. I will be your Gods of Life and those of your descendants after you. 17:8I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land where you are now a foreigner, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their Gods of Life. 17:9Then the Gods of Life told Abraham, As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you, and your descendants after you throughout their generations. 17:10This is my covenant that you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: every male among you will be circumcised. 17:11You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskin and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and you. 17:12Throughout your generations, every male will be circumcised when he is eight days old, including anyone born in your household, even any foreigner bought with money who is not of your offspring. 17:13Whether one is born in your house, or purchased with your money, they must be circumcised. So shall my covenant be marked in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 17:14Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant. 17:15Then the Gods of Life told Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah, which means Princess of Many. 17:16I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations; Kings of peoples will come from her.

17:17Then Abraham fell on his face, laughed and pondered in his heart, Will a child be born to him that is a hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth? 17:18Then Abraham told our Gods of Death, O that Ishmael might live before you!

17:19But his Gods of Life confirmed, No, Sarah your wife will bear you a son; and you shall call his name Isaac which means you laughed and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. 17:20Now as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Look, I will bless him too, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him into one great nation. 17:21But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year. 17:22When he had finished talking with him the Gods of Life went up from Abraham.

17:23Then Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who had been bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's household, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin that very same day, just as the Gods of Life told him to do. 17:24Abraham was 99 years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 17:25Ishmael his son was thirteen, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 17:26In the same day, Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised. 17:27All the men of his household, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

18:1Love appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat by the entrance of the tent in the heat of the day. 18:2He lifted up his eyes and saw three men standing near him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the entrance of the tent, and bowed down to the ground. 18:3He asked, My Preordainers of all, if I have found favor in your eyes, do not pass by your servant. 18:4Let a little water be brought, so you can wash your feet and rest under this dead tree. 18:5Let me fetch a little bread, so you may refresh yourselves before continuing on, since you have visited your servant.

18:6They replied, All right do as you have said. 18:7So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, saying, Quick. Take three measures of fine flour. Knead it and make bread. 18:8Then Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a servant who quickly prepared it. 18:9Then he took curds and milk along with the calf he had prepared, and set it before them. He stood by them under the dead tree while they ate.

18:10They asked him, Where is Sarah your wife?

He replied, There, in the tent.

18:11One of them responded, I will certainly return to you at this time next year; and Sarah, your wife, will have a son.

18:13Sarah was listening by the entrance of the tent behind him. 18:14Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well on in years. Sarah was long past the age of childbearing. 18:15So Sarah laughed within herself, uttering, Can a worn-out woman and an old master finally have this pleasure?

18:16Then Love told Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, scoffing, Will I really have a child, now that I am old? Is anything too hard for Love? When I return to you next year at this time, Sarah will have a son.

18:17But Sarah denied, lying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid.

18:18 Then he countered, No, you did laugh. 18:19Then the men got up from the meal and looked out toward Sodom, which means flaming or burnt. Abraham went with them to send them on their way.

18:20Love pondered, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him? 18:21For I have chosen him, so that he may instruct his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Love, to do righteousness and justice; so that Love may bring upon Abraham what he has promised him. 18:22So Love divulged, Because the cry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is so grievous; 18:23I will go down and see if they are as bad as the outcry against them that has come to me. If not, then I will know. 18:24So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood in front of Love.

18:23Abraham approached him and inquired, Will you really sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 18:24What if there are fifty righteous in the city, will you sweep it away and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are in it? 18:25Surely you will not do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous are treated like the wicked. Far be it from you. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

18:26Then Love replied, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous inside the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.

18:27Then Abraham negotiated, Since I have been so bold to speak to Love, I, who am but dust and ashes, 18:28what if five of the fifty righteous are lacking, will you destroy the entire city for lack of five?

Then he insisted, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty-five.

18:29Again he bargained with him, What if there are only forty found there?

He insisted, I will not do it for the sake of forty.

18:30Then he negotiated, Please, Love, do not get upset if I speak, what if there are thirty found there?

He insisted, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

18:31Then he negotiated, Since I have undertaken to speak to Love, what if there are twenty found there?

He insisted, I will not destroy it for the twentys sake.

18:32Finally Abraham bargained, Oh, let Love not be upset, but I will speak one more time, what if ten are found there?

He insisted, I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten. 18:33Then Love went on his way after he had finished speaking with Abraham. Abraham returned to his place.

19:1The two angels came to Sodom, in the evening, as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he stood up to meet them and bowed with his face to the ground. 19:2He exclaimed, My Judges of the Celestial Courts, turn aside to your servant's house, and spend the night and wash your feet. Then you can get up early and be on your way.

19:3No, they replied we will spend the night in the city square. 19:4But he urged them strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house. He made a feast for them, baking unleavened bread, and they ate.

19:5But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, from every part of the city surrounded the house. 19:6Then they called to Lot, Where are the men that came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we can have sex with them. 19:7But Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him, pleading, I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. 19:8Look, I have two daughters that have not known a man; please let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them as you wish. Only do not do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.

19:9Then they retorted, Stand back. They proclaimed, This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to judge us. Now we will deal worse with you, than with them. They pressed in hard against Lot to break the door down.

19:10But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them and shut the door. 19:11Then they struck the men at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wore themselves out trying to find the door. 19:12Then the men told Lot, Do you have anyone else here? Do you have any sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone else in the city? Get them out of this place. 19:13For we will destroy this place, since the outcry against this place has become great before Love, so Love sent us to destroy it.

19:14Then Lot went to his sons-in-law, who were going to marry his daughters, exclaiming, Get up and get out of this place, for Love is about to destroy the city. But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.

19:15The next morning the angels hurried Lot along, exclaiming, Get up, take your wife, and your two daughters that are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of this city.

19:16But he hesitated, so the men grabbed his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, Love being merciful to him, and they brought him out and put him outside the city. 19:17When they had brought them out, one of them exclaimed, Escape for your life. Do not look back or stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains or you will be swept away.

19:18But Lot told them, No, please, my Preordainers of all. Look now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness by saving my life, but I cannot escape to the mountains or disaster will overtake me and I will die. 19:19Look, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is a small one. Let me escape there--is it not a little one?--and my life shall be saved.

19:20He told him, Alright, I will grant you this favor also, and I will not overthrow the town which you have spoken of. 19:21But hurry, escape there; for I cannot do anything until you arrive there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar which means little or small. 19:22The sun was rising on the land as Lot reached Zoar.(The history of Zoar is found in the Book of the Dreaded Upright 10:35-36) Then Love rained down on Sodom and on Gomorrah burning sulfur and fire from Love out of heaven. 19:23So he overthrew those cities, and the entire valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and even the vegetation that grew upon the ground. 19:24But his wife, behind him, looked back, and she turned into a pillar of salt. 19:25Early the next morning Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood before Love. 19:26He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and the smoke rose from the desolate land like the smoke from a furnace. 19:27So when the Gods of Life destroyed the cities of the plain, then the Gods of Life remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the destruction, when he destroyed the cities in which Lot lived.

19:28Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountains, with his two daughters; for he feared to live in Zoar. So he and his two daughters lived in a cave. 19:29Then the firstborn told the younger, Our father is old, and there is no man in the earth to marry us as is customary throughout all the earth. 19:30Come, let us get our father drunk, and we will lie with him, so that we may preserve the family line of our father. 19:31So they got their father drunk that night. Then the firstborn went in, and slept with her father; and he was unaware of when she lay down and when she got up. 19:32The next day, the firstborn told the younger, Last night I slept with my father; let us get him drunk again tonight and you go and sleep with him, that we may preserve the family line of our father. 19:33So they got their father drunk that night too, and the younger arose, and slept with him; and he was unaware of when she lay down, and when she got up. 19:34Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. 19:35The firstborn bare a son, and named him Moab meaning My Father. He is the father of the Moabites to this day. 19:36The younger, also bore a son, and named him Ben-ammi meaning Son of My People. He is the father of the Ammonites to this day.

20:1From there Abraham journeyed toward the region of the Negev, and settled between Kadesh and Shur. He stayed for a while in Gerar. 20:2Then Abraham asserted of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. So Abimelech, King of Gerar, sent and took Sarah. 20:3But the Gods of Life came to Abimelech in a dream at night, and told him, You are as good as dead, because of the woman you have taken; for she is a married woman.

20:4Now Abimelech had not gone near her. He pleaded, My Preordainers of all, will you destroy an innocent nation? 20:5Did he not tell me himself, 'She is my sister?' Even she herself affirmed, 'He is my brother.' I have done this with a clear conscience. My hands are clean.

20:6Then our Gods of Death told him in the dream, Yes, I know that you have done this with a clear conscience, so I stopped you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not let you touch her. 20:7Now then return the mans wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you do not return her, know that you will surely die you, and all who belong to you.

20:8So Abimelech got up early in the morning, called all his servants, and rehearsed all these things in their ears; and they were very afraid. 20:9Then Abimelech called Abraham, and told him, What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you that you would bring such great guilt on me and on my Kingdom? You have done things to me that should never be done.

20:10Abimelech asked Abraham, What prompted you to do such a thing?

20:11Abraham replied, Because I thought, 'There is no fear of The Gods of Life in this place, they will kill me because of my wife.' 20:12Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not of my mother; and she became my wife. 20:13When the Gods of Life caused me to wander from my father's house, I told her, 'This is how you can do to show me loyal love. Everywhere we go, say about me, 'He is my brother.'

20:14Then Abimelech, which means Father is King or Father of the King, took sheep and oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and he gave back Sarah his wife to him. 20:15Abimelech declared, Look, my land is before you. Live wherever you want. 20:16To Sarah he apologized, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is compensation in the eyes to all that are with you. You are completely vindicated.

20:17Then Abraham prayed to his Gods of Life and the Gods of Life healed Abimelech, his wife and his female servants so that once again they could have children. 20:18For Love had closed all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

21:1Love visited Sarah just as he said, and Love did for Sarah as he had promised. 21:2So Sarah became pregnant and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time that the Gods of Life had said it would happen. 21:3Then Abraham named his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore, Isaac. 21:4Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as the Gods of Life had instructed him in Torah 17:12. 21:5Now Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born. 21:6Sarah exclaimed, The Gods of Life has made me laugh. Everyone who hears this will laugh with me. 21:7She chuckled, Who would have ever told Abraham, that Sarah should nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.

21:8The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. 21:9When Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking, 21:10she told Abraham, Throw out this slave girl and her son. For the son of this slave girl will not share any part Gods covenant with my son Isaac.

21:11Now this issue was very troubling to Abraham because of his son Ishmael. 21:12Then the Gods of Life told Abraham, Do not be upset over the boy, or your slave girl. Listen to all Sarah has told you. For the descendants that will bare your name, which Arab means Child of Abraham, Arabs means Children of Abraham, and Arabia means Land of Abraham, will be through Isaac. 21:13Yet I will make the son of the slave girl into one great nation, because he is your offspring. 21:14So Abraham got up early in the morning, took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away.

21:15She left and wandered about in the wilderness of The Well of the Oath of Seven. When the water in the skin was gone, she put the child under one of the shrubs. 21:16Then she went and sat down across from him about a bow shot away. For she wailed, Do not let me watch the death of the child. So she sat across from him, lifted up her voice and wept.

21:17Then the Gods of Life heard the voice of the boy. The angel of the Gods of Life called to Hagar from heaven, and told her, What's wrong, Hagar? Fear not. For the Gods of Life has heard the voice of the boy there. 21:18Get up, pick up the boy, and hold him by the hand, for I will make him into one great nation. 21:19Then the Gods of Life opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the boy a drink. 21:20Now the Gods of Life was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up he became an archer. 21:21He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got him a wife from of the land of Egypt.

21:22At that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, told Abraham, The Gods of Life is with you in everything you do. 21:23Now therefore, swear to me by your Gods of Life that you will not deal falsely with me, or with my son, or with my son's son. But according to the loyal kindness that I have shown you, you show to me, and to the land where you have lived as a foreigner.

21:24Then Abraham swore, I swear to it, but Abraham complained to Abimelech about the well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized.

21:25Then Abimelech replied, I do not know who did this. You did not tell me, and I had not even heard of it until today. 21:26So Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech. They made a treaty. 21:27Abraham set apart seven female lambs of the flock by themselves.

21:28Abimelech told Abraham, What do these seven female lambs mean which you have set apart by themselves?

21:29He negotiated, Accept these seven female lambs from my hand, as a witness proving that I dug this well. 21:30That is why he called that place the Well of the Oath of Seven, because the two of them swore an oath there. 21:31So they made a treaty at the Well of the Oath of Seven. Abimelech and Phicol, which means Great, the captain of his army, got up and returned to the land of the Philistines. 21:32Then Abraham planted a Tamarisk tree at the Well of the Oath of Seven, and there called on the name of Love, the Eternal. 21:33So Abraham stayed in the land of the Philistines many days.

22:1Sometime after these things, our Gods of Death tested Abraham, and told him, Abraham.

22:2He answered, Here I am.

22:3Then our Gods of Death commanded, Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him up as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.

22:4So Abraham got up early in the morning, saddled his donkey, took two of his young servants with him, and Isaac his son. After he chopped the wood for the burnt offering, he got up, and went to the place our Gods of Death told him about. 22:5On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place in the distance. 22:6Then Abraham told his young servants, Stay here with the donkey, while the boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and then we will come back to you. 22:7Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering, and laid it on his son Isaac. Then he took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them went on together.

22:8Isaac told Abraham his father, Father.

He answered, Here I am, my son.

He inquired, Look, here is the fire and the wood. But where is the lamb for the burnt offering?

22:9Abraham replied, Our Gods of Life has provided the lamb for a burnt offering; you, my son. So they went on together. 22:10Then they came to the place our Gods of Life had told him about. There Abraham built an altar and arranged the wood on it. Then he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.

22:11Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to slit his throat the angel of Love called to him out of heaven, shouting, Abraham, Abraham.

22:12He answered, Here I am.

22:13He declared, Do no lay your hand on the boy. Do not do anything to him. For now I know that you fear our Gods of Life, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me. 22:14Then Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. Abraham went over and took the ram, and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. 22:15So Abraham called the name of that place Love will provide. It is an adage even to this day, In the mount of Love it will be provided.

22:16Now the angel of Love called to Abraham a second time from heaven, swearing, I have sworn by myself, swore Love, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son, 22:17I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies. 22:18Through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice. 22:19So Abraham returned to his young servants, and they got up and went on together to the Well of the Oath of Seven. Abraham lived at the Well of the Oath of Seven.

22:20Sometime after these things, Abraham was told, Look, Milcah has borne children to your brother Nahor: 22:21Uz, which means Take Counsel or Devise a Plan, his firstborn, Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, Bethuel. 22:22Now Bethuel fathered Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother. 22:23His concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.

23:1Now Sarah lived 127 years; these were the years of Sarah's life. 23:2Sarah died in Kiriath-arba(that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
