 * 12) Þat Land asprot Grownes: sædberende Planten æfter hjeren Kynnen and ofetberende Tree mid Sæden þærin æfter hjeren Kynnen.  And Godd saw þat it god was.
 * 13) And þa was Æfen, and þa was Morgen - þe þridde Daȝ. Þe Fierþe Daȝ: Sunne, Mone, Sterren
 * 14) And Godd kwaþ, "Werðeþ Liȝhter in þer Ƕalfe þer Lyft, þen Daȝ of þer Naȝht oftoschaden, and werðeþ hje to Taknen þeȝnen, godkunde Teimen, and Dæȝe, and Ȝære to gemarken,

 * 23) And þa was Æfen, and þa was Morgen - þe feifte Daȝ. Þe Sixte Daȝ: Wiȝhte on þem Lande

Kapitel 2

 * 1) Þus wurden þie Roder and þie Erðe and allen þen Werd hjerer fullgeworȝht.
 * 2) And Godd endede on þem sefenþen Daȝ þat Werk þe he gedon hafde; and he restede on þem sefenþen Daȝ alles seines Werkes.
 * 3) And Godd blesste þen sefenþen Daȝ and halgte hin, forþen he þæron alles Werkes Geschæftes restede, þe he dade. Þe Geschæft Mannes
 * 4) Þis is þie Rake þer Hefene and þer Erðe þa hje geschapen wurden, þa þe Driȝhten (YHWH) Godd þie Erðe and þie Hefene schop.
 * 5) And þa hafde næniȝe Schrybbe in þer Erðe gegrowen, and þa hafde næniȝe Plante þes Feldes gegrowen, forþem  þe Driȝhten (YHWH) Godd noȝht Reȝn on þie Erðe gesendt hafde, and þær was nan Mann þen Grund to tillen,
 * 6) ak an Mist kaam of þer Erðe up and waterden þie hale Ruse þes Grundes.
 * 7) Þa worȝhte þe Driȝhten (YHWH) Godd anen Mann of þem Duste þes Grundes and ablew in his Nosþyrle þen Bræþ Leifes, and þe Mann warþ libbende Wiȝht.
 * 8) And þe Driȝhten (YHWH) Godd plantede anen Gewyrttun in þem Easten, in Eden; and þa stallde he þen Mann þe he worȝhte.
 * 9) And þe Driȝhten (YHWH) Godd asprot of þem Grund ælc Tree þe kwemlic þer Gesiȝht waren, and god to Foden. In þem Middel þes Gewyrttunes waren þat Tree Leifes and þat Tree þer Kuþnes Godes and Yfels.

10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin[d] and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.[e] 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

But for Adam[f] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones

and flesh of my flesh;

she shall be called ‘woman,’

for she was taken out of man.”

24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

Kapitel 11 Noten

 * Þie Ælden þisser Menne wurden fram þen Phariseen geschyrted, to þon þe hje ane Witegung Cristes unsoðen kuðen. Æfter hjeren Geliefen wyrde Christ in þem 6.  Ȝærþusend of Geschæft (5000 oþ 5999 AM) ætiewen, and þat Kynereic in þem 7. Ȝærþusend inlæden.  If man gelytle þie Ælden syndriger Hefdfæder in Gekyndbok 5 and 11, þonn wære Crist to ær geboren worden, and þus wære noȝht þe Hælend.  Mid þissen smælleren Ælden, schollde þe Hælend æm ærsten 240 AD geboren werðen, forþen þe masoretische Traȝht gereimþ, þat 3761 BC þie Tælmark Geschæft seie.
 * The ages of these men were shortened by the Pharisees, in order to be able to disprove a prophesy of Christ. In their beliefs, the Christ would show up in the 6th millenium from Creation (5000 to 5999 AM), and usher in the kingdom in the 7th millenium.  If you deflate the ages of several of the patriarchs in Genesis 5 and 11, then Christ would have been born too early, and thus not be the Messiah.  With these smaller ages, the Messiah should be born at least 240 AD, because the Masoretic text calculates 3761 BC to be the date of Creation.

Kapitel 50

 * 1) Josef fell on seinen Fader and wepp ofer hin and kysste hin.
 * 2) Þa bebod Josef þie Læcen in seiner Þeȝnung, seinen Fader Israel intobalsamen.  So balsamden þie Læcen hin in,
 * 3) namen hje fiertiȝ fulle Dage, forþen þat was þie niedbehoflice Teid intobalsamen.  And marnen þie Egyptischen hin sefentiȝ Dage.

4 When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court, “If I have found favor in your eyes, speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him, 5 ‘My father made me swear an oath and said, “I am about to die; bury me in the tomb I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now let me go up and bury my father; then I will return.’”

6 Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”

7 So Joseph went up to bury his father. All Pharaoh’s officials accompanied him—the dignitaries of his court and all the dignitaries of Egypt— 8 besides all the members of Joseph’s household and his brothers and those belonging to his father’s household. Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen. 9 Chariots and horsemen[a] also went up with him. It was a very large company.

10 When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, near the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly; and there Joseph observed a seven-day period of mourning for his father. 11 When the Canaanites who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning.” That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim.[b]

12 So Jacob’s sons did as he had commanded them: 13 They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre, which Abraham had bought along with the field as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite. 14 After burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all the others who had gone with him to bury his father.

Joseph Reassures His Brothers

15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?” 16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions before he died: 17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’ Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.

18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said.

19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.

The Death of Joseph

22 Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father’s family. He lived a hundred and ten years 23 and saw the third generation of Ephraim’s children. Also the children of Makir son of Manasseh were placed at birth on Joseph’s knees.[c]

24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” 25 And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath and said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.”

26 So Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten. And after they embalmed him, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
