PART ONE
The Old Testament: Genesis
1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
waters.
1:3 And God said, "Let there be light: and there was light."
1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light
from the darkness.
1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.
1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the waters.
1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were
under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament:
and it was so.
1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the
morning were the second day.
1:9 And God said, "Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together
unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so."
1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of
the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is
in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after
his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after
his kind: and God saw that it was good.
1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven
to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for
seasons, and for days, and years:
1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth: and it was so.
1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth,
1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and
to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the
open firmament of heaven.
1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that
moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind,
and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill
the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after
his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his
kind: and it was so.
1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle
after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the earth after
his kind: and God saw that it was good.
1:26 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."
1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created
he him; male and female created he them.
1:28 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 upon the earth."
1:29 And God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed,
which is upon 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."
1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air,
and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is
life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
1:31 And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was
very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of
them.
2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and
he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that
in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when
they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the
heavens,
2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth,
and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not
caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the
ground.
2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole
face of the ground.
2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
soul.
2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he
put the man whom he had formed.
2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the
midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence
it was parted, and became into three heads.
2:11 And the rivers grew and shaped to become divine counsellors, with who those chosen by The Lord could seek holy advice
2:12 The name of the first was Pison: and she compasseth the
whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
2:13 And the name of the second was Gihon: the same is it that
compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
2:14 And the name of the third was Hiddekel: that is it which
goeth toward the east of Assyria.
2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of
Eden to dress it and to keep it.
2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the
garden thou mayest freely eat:
2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat
of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
2:18 And the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be
alone; I will make him animals."
2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the
field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see
what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living
creature, that was the name thereof.
2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air,
and to every beast of the field; but for Adam he lacked company.
2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and as he
slept: he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead
thereof;
2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made
he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
2:23 And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my
flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not
ashamed.
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which
the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said,
Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden:
3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,
God hath said, "Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest
ye die."
3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall
be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that
it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one
wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto
her husband with her; and he did eat.
3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they
were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves
aprons.
3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in
the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the
presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, "Where art
thou?"
3:10 And he said, "I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was
afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."
3:11 And he said, "Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten
of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?"
3:12 And the man said, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she
gave me of the tree, and I did eat."
3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, "What is this that thou hast
Done?" And the woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."
3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, "Because thou hast done
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the
field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the
days of thy life:
3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head,
and thou shalt bruise his heel.
3:16 Unto the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and
thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy
desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."
3:17 And unto Adam he said, "Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice
of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee,
saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake;
in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;"
3:18 "Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the
herb of the field;"
3:19 "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return
unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: fordust thou art, and
unto dust shalt thou return."
3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother
of all living.
3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of
skins, and clothed them.
3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to
know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also
of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:
3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of
Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden
of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep
the way of the tree of life.
4:1 And unbenkownst to the LORD God, Adam knew of Eve his wife;
and as she ate of the tree of life, so too, did the child in her belly and
he was made evil as the serpent.
4:2 And the child was born and called Cain. And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain
was a tiller of the ground.
4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the
fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of
the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his
offering:
4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.
And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, "Why art thou wroth? and why is thy
countenance fallen?
4:7 "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest
not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and
thou shalt rule over him."
4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when
they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother,
and in vain, tried to slay him. And Abel saw his brothers evil and ran
from him.
4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, "What hast thou done? The voice of thy evil
crieth unto me from your soul."
4:11 "And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her
mouth to receive thy traitor from a land which is neither a hell nor
paradise into an unknown realm;"
4:12 When thou tillest the ground of thy banished realm, it shall not
henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond
shalt thou be and no more in the earth. And the LORD God made
Nascostas, a place of dark misfortune where ill deeds went by
unnoticed and banished Cain and all of his blood to it."
4:13 And Cain said unto the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can
bear."
4:14 And the LORD set a great a terrible mark upon Cain, lest any finding
him should know of his nature and his deed.
4:15 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the
land of Nascostas.
4: 16 Abel was troubled by this and he asked the LORD, "Where is my
brother?"And The LORD God replied. "Am I your brother's keeper? I know
not where he resides."
4:17 Abel felt the lie is the LORD God's words. He looked around him
and gazed at the Garden of Eden and found he had lost his taste for its
beauty. "This paradise is nothing to me now I know the sins of its little
history."
4:18 "This world is my own making," the LORD God replied, "and I have
made it so evil thought and deed be done, so that I may know who is
righteous in their heart and who is wicked."
4:19 But Abel had seen the truth of his paradise and lived in misery. And so, the LORD God created a holy realm where neither wicked
thought or deed be done and named this Navistos, and Abel and all
of his blood remained there.
4:20 And in the land of Nascostas, Cain knew of his wife; and she
conceived, and bore Enoch: and he builded a place of dark worship,
in the heart of Nascostas and called the name of the monstrosity,
after himself.
4:21 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and
Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. And all
bore hearts blacker than the last.
4:22 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah,
and the name of the other Zillah.
4:23 And Lamech said unto his wives, "Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice;
ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to
my wounding, and a young man to my hurt."
4:24 "If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and
sevenfold."
4:25 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his
own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:
4:26 And so The Lord said to Abel; "I have given to your mother
two sons and taken two away. I have given her immeasurable
grief and I will redeem myself for it."
4:27 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty
years: and then he died.
5:1 In time, though Abel was greatly pleased with Navistos,
he began to worry for his brother in Nascostas. The LORD God
was unmoved and ascertained that sinners remain in Nascostas.
5:2 Abel was deeply troubled. "I fear your judgement is ill-placed
and will have a grim cost." The Lord was disturbed by Abel's
warning and though he tried to put his misdeeds out of mind,
his abandonment of Cain haunted him.
5:3 And so the LORD God went to him in Nascostas.
Cain thought his exile was at an end but when The LORD
rose to leave Cain in Nascostas, he was thrown into a fury
The LORD did not survive. And God was destroyed.
5:4 Abel felt The Lords passing and was broken by it.
The people of Navistos mourned for seven centuries.
5:5In this time, Eve passed and Seth became a man.
He married and his wife was blessed with many sons and daughters.
Seth grew older, as his brothers never had and though he did not know
them, he resented them for it.
5:6 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years:
and he began to die. Immortality called to him and he became sick
with the want of it.
5:7 And Seth feared death above all else and called out to his brother
Abel, "My brother who art in Navistos, grant me immortality, of the
strength you possess so that I might live forever." 5:8 Abel denied him. "Dear Brother, those on earth were born
for death. Do not test the laws of your land."
5:9 And so Seth called to Cain for help, though he knew he was
wicked. "Dear Brother, will you let me pass? My elder would
and I fear you too, will allow it."
5:10 And Cain replied, "If ye shall be emissary, my eyes and ears
and able body on earth." Seth promised himself to Cain. "You have all of this if I have my
immortality."
5:11 Dark majicks were used. Seth was deformed and tiny rips
began in the realm of man. None but The Lord were meant to
have presence in all three and though Cain could never return
to Earth, his evil began to worm its way back in.
5:12 The third brother that was never meant to be would live
forever, however cruel and however far he went against nature.
5:13 Immortality was never meant for this universe and the
very moment the Nascostas permeated the world of man, the
barriers began to dissolve.
5: 14 And deep in Nascostas, Cain and his children resided.
In time those hearts were twisted and great evil manifested
there until all Nascostians were wicked as Cain himself.
No longer human but beneath animals they came to be as
withered and blackened as the hearts they possessed.
5: 15 God lay dead. The paradise he had first created was stained
with sin and deceit. His second was ruled by filthy
imitations of man, black hearts barely intact and his third
mourned for his loss and the loss of their last hope for redemption. The time of unguided man had begun.
