Abram left Egypt with everyone and everything to the Negeb. Abram was rich with livestock, silver, and gold. He journeyed from the Negeb to the place he was before between Bethel and Ai. He called out to the Lord there (where he had made an altar before). Lot was with him, and the land couldn’t support all they both had. At this time the Canaanites and Perizzites were dwelling there. Abram said to Lot that they should separate. Lot went…

The Lord told Abram, to go to a land He will show him. The Lord promised Abram that he will make him into a great nation, bless him, make his name great, and that he will be a blessing. The Lord said he would bless those who bless him, and curse those who treat him with contempt. At 75 years old Abram obeyed and left Haran for Canaan with Sarai and Lot, they also took all their possessions and the people…

The whole earth had the same language. As people migrated east the found the land of Shinar and settled there (modern day – Iran). They came together and made bricks and they used asphalt for mortar. They built a city with a tower with its top in the sky. They did this to “make a name for themselves, in order to avoid being scattered over the face of the earth.” The Lord came down looked over the city and said,…

God blessed Noah and his sons, commissioned them to be fruitful and multiply. He put a fear of man in the animals. Every moving thing shall be food for man, but they were not to eat flesh with blood in it – its life. God established a covenant with man and animals that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood. The sign of the covenant was a bow in the clouds. When God…

God remembered Noah and the animals and the sources of water stopped and the waters abated after 150 days, and the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat. Noah sent out a raven, then sent out a dove 3 times, the 2nd time it have an olive leaf, the third it didn’t return. God commanded Noah to bring his family and the animals out of the ark and to be fruitful and multiply. Noah built an altar to the Lord,…

God told Noah to take his family in the boat with animals, for in 7 days God will send rain for 40 days and 40 nights to blot out every living thing. Noah obeyed. Noah was 600 years old when the floods came, and they had two of every creature on the boat. The Lord [Yahweh] shut him in. The waters rose and the boat rose on the waters high above the earth, and God killed all the animals and people…

Man multiplied, the “sons of God” married the “daughters of man”, so the Lord limited man’s lifespan to 120 years. The Lord saw that the thoughts and intentions of man was only evil continually. He was grieved He made them. Noah found favor in God’s sight, was righteous, blameless in his generation, and walked with God – and had Shem, Ham, and Japheth. God warned Noah of a flood and told him to build a boat, bring his family on, and…

Adam and Eve by the help of the Lord [Yahweh] had Cain and Abel. Abel brought an offering of sheep, and Cain brought a grain offering, but the Lord only had regard for Abel’s. Cain became angry and killed Abel in the field and lied to the Lord about it. Cain would now be a fugitive and wander the earth and the land would not bear fruit for him. God promised to keep anyone from killing Cain, and he had children. 5…
