Genesis

GENESIS

B'reshiyth

The word God is Elohiym in the Hebrew. It is a plural form of gods. It also means Supreme. God in the singular is Yahweh, and used for the first time in 2:7.

It can be understood that Elohiym (God) are Yahweh's hosts that do the work or service for Him, kind of like a Boss and construction workers.

Yahweh is the name of God, The great I AM, meaning, I will be whatever I will to be.

The first life forms created apparently were bacteria, algae and possibly worms, 'simple' organisms that could survive in a barren and sterile environment.

The succession of life forms added by creation was one of generally increasing complexity and size. Thus the sequence observed in faunal succession was not a result of evolution, but one necessitated by practicality. It took a few 'simple' small varieties of organisms in the beginning to prepare the way for more numerous varieties of larger and more complex organisms, and so on.

Understanding the reasons for this sequence imparts an understanding of at least one possible purpose of the pre-Adamic creation -- to prepare the earth for man. This preparation was not only of the environment, but also of the fossil fuels and our mineral resources which made possible the industrial revolution."

The progression from lower forms to higher forms of life is recorded in Genesis 1.

Kennewick Man, dated to 7,000 BC, was in fact an example of the pre-Adamic White Race, as the skeletons of Cro-Magnon are indistinguishable from modern White skeletons.

Cro-Magnon skeletons have been dated as early as 30,000 BC.

Cro-Magnoid skulls have been found in the Americas, abundant evidence that the particular type of man known as Cro-Magnon originated in Atlantis.

The secret oath. The creation oath of Yahweh.

Enoch 69:13 And this is the task of Kasbeel, the chief of the oath which he showed to the holy ones when he dwelt high 4 above in glory, and its name is Biqa. This (angel) requested Michael to show him the hidden name, that he might enunciate it in the oath, so that those might quake before that name and oath who revealed all that was in secret to the children of men. And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath Akae in the hand of Michael.

16 And these are the secrets of this oath . . .
And they are strong through his oath:
And the heaven was suspended before the world was created,
And for ever.

17 And through it (the oath) the earth was founded upon the water,
And from the secret recesses of the mountains come beautiful waters,
From the creation of the world and unto eternity.

18 And through that oath the sea was created,
And as its foundation He set for it the sand against the time of (its) anger,
And it dare not pass beyond it from the creation of the world unto eternity.

19 And through that oath are the depths made fast,
And abide and stir not from their place from eternity to eternity.

20 And through that oath the sun and moon complete their course,
And deviate not from their ordinance from eternity to eternity.

21 And through that oath the stars complete their course,
And He calls them by their names,
And they answer Him from eternity to eternity.

22 [And in like manner the spirits of the water, and of the winds, and of all zephyrs, and (their) paths 23 from all the quarters of the winds. And there are preserved the voices of the thunder and the light of the lightnings: and there are preserved the chambers of the hail and the chambers of the 24 hoarfrost, and the chambers of the mist, and the chambers of the rain and the dew. And all these believe and give thanks before Yahweh of Spirits, and glorify (Him) with all their power, and their food is in every act of thanksgiving: they thank and glorify and extol the name of Yahweh of Spirits for ever and ever.]

25 And this oath is mighty over them
And through it [they are preserved and] their paths are preserved,
And their course is not destroyed.

Genesis 1:1 ​​ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

In the Hebrew it reads the sky and the land.

The beginning would be the beginning of the creation of Adam. Not the Heavens and the Earth.

God is H430 Elohiym. Plural. Meaning the heavenly beings.

During the time of Verse 1 must be thought of in light of the Lost City of Atlantis.

10,500 BC. Yahweh destroyed what became an evil earth by the asteroid Phaeton.

There must be a time gap between V1 and V2.

The next few verses reveal that the angels had their chance to govern the earth. They evidently experimented with hybridization and corrupted the creation. The angels sinned, Yahweh executed judgment, He sent His son Adam to take over as superintendent, he failed, and now the test begins for the race of Adam, to follow and obey Yahweh, so we may be placed into position of sons and inherit the kingdom.

​​ 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.

Was without is incorrect. There is no Strong's number for without here. Was is H1961, meaning had become. Past tense.

Evidently there was a catastrophic event that had taken place.

In Hebrew it says, “Now the earth had become chaotic and empty.”

Form and void in the Hebrew are tohu and bohu. These mean chaotic and empty.

That is, some early catastrophe had wrecked the earth, which was not ‘without form and void’ before that. ​​ This was a judgment of God on earlier civilizations, for their wickedness. ​​ Jeremiah 4:23-27 gives a vision of it.

Jeremiah 4:23-27

23 ​​ I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

24 ​​ I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

25 ​​ I beheld, and, lo, there was no man (Adam H120), and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

26 ​​ I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, and by His fierce anger.

27 ​​ For thus hath Yahweh said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

Without form and void cam be rendered in modern language: an empty ruin, and this empty ruin was without light. Here then we have all the conditions necessary for the ice age as explained by the scientists: an empty, ruined world in the grip of world-wide deep cold. Our scientists tell us that if the sun's heat were withdrawn, within three days every atom of moisture in our atmosphere would fall as hail or snow. The rivers would freeze solid and soon the sea would freeze. Finally the air would first liquify, and then become solid. It is interesting to note that after the provisions of light and presumably heat, the first thing to thaw was the atmosphere.

Job 38:29 ​​ Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

30 ​​ The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

When the work of creation was under way...

Job 38:7 ​​ When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

​​ 1:2 ​​ And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep...

Darkness (H2822) is defined as ignorance, when used as a metaphor.

2Peter 3:5-8

5 ​​ For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6 ​​ Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

7 ​​ But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8 ​​ But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with Yahweh as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

​​ 1:3 ​​ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Light (H215/216) is defined as enlightenment (or wisdom).

2Maccabees 7:28 ​​ I beseech you, my son, look upon the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, and consider that God made them of things that were not; and so was mankind made likewise.

2Corinthians 4:6 ​​ For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

​​ 1:4 ​​ And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

As a metaphorical separation, enlightenment from ignorance.

​​ 1:5 ​​ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Day comes from the Hebrew word yom, which means age or eon, a space of time.

Dusk marks the beginning of the Hebrew day.

The sun and stars were becoming visible again after the catastrophe that happened between Verses 1 and 2.

Verses 2 through 5 are talking about the sky and atmosphere returning to their previous, pre-catastrophe state. These verses, therefore, are not necessarily talking about the initial creation of the Universe, but a return to normal.

​​ 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.

Firmament comes from raqiya, meaning an expanse. The arch of the sky, a dome.

​​ 1:7 ​​ And God made the firmament (dome), and divided the waters which were under the firmament (dome) from the waters which were above the firmament (dome): and it was so.

​​ 1:8 ​​ And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Heaven is shamayim shameh, meaning sky.

This is telling us that waters above (clouds, moisture) were divided by the expanse from the water on the earth.

​​ 1:9 ​​ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven (sky) 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 (dry ground Land); 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 (land) bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth (land): and it was so.

Note: The grass, herbs, and trees are growing before the sun?

Verse 11 is telling us that the atmosphere is now allowing enough light to get through for plants to make a full recovery.

Kind after kind. H4327 meaning species. The basis of racial law given by Yahweh.

All mixing is forbidden. Mixing of garments worn, breeding of livestock, sowing mixed seeds, plowing with diverse animals, or the race of Adam mixing with the other races.

Luke 6:44 ​​ For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

​​ 1:12 ​​ And the earth (land) 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.

Note: The pronoun his was used instead of it's. This happens a lot. Old English.

​​ 1:13 ​​ And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Ferrar Fenton’s: ​​ “This was the close and the dawn of the third age.”

​​ 1:14 ​​ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven (dome of the sky) to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Lights here is (H3974) meaning luminary, and different than light in verse 3.

Only now does it make sense to talk about a 24-hour day.

​​ 1:15 ​​ And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven (dome of the sky) to give light upon the earth (land): 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.

Words in italics are added by the translators. There is no Strong's number for also either, meaning this was added too. The enemies of God worship the moon, so since the texts were tampered with, of course the verse supports their deception. The lesser light are the stars, not the moon, which does not shine on it's own.

It should read: “...,and the lesser light to rule the night, the stars.”

Also is H1571. This word is not there in the manuscripts. It was added to support the moon being the lesser light.

​​ 1:17 ​​ And God set them in the firmament of the heaven (dome of the sky) to give light upon the earth (land),

​​ 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 (land) in the open firmament of heaven (expanse of the sky).

Moving creature (H8318) is a swarm, or many small creatures.

​​ 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.

By their species.

​​ 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 (land).

​​ 1:23 ​​ And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

​​ 1:24 ​​ And God said, Let the earth (land) 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 (land) after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth (land) 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 (land), and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth (land).

Air is the same word in Hebrew as heaven, shamayim shameh.

Wisdom 2:23 ​​ For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of His own eternity.

Sirach 17:3-4

3 ​​ He endued them with strength by themselves, and made them according to His image,

4 ​​ And put the fear of man upon all flesh, and gave him dominion over beasts and fowls.

​​ 1:27 ​​ So (And) God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

Them, at the same time, the species. All the species were created male and female at the same time, and likely many pairs. Adam the man was not formed yet, only the species (race).

Matthew 19:4 ​​ And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

The race of awdawm, in the image and likeness of Elohiym.

Man is awdawm (H119/120). Awdawm means: ruddy (of a red color), to show blood (in the face), that is, flush or turn rosy (blush). This only describes the white race.

The scriptures use very different words for the other races.

​​ 1:28 ​​ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth (land), and subdue (conquer) 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 (land).

'Plenish' is an obsolete English word meaning 'to fill'; and you cannot Re-plenish what was never plenished, or filled before.

Subdue is H3533, subject, bring into bondage, dominate, tread down, bring into subjection.

This supports the dominion of Adam. Children of the Most High bringing order and obedience and Yahweh's Way.

​​ 1:29 ​​ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth (land), and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat (food).

​​ 1:30 ​​ And to every beast of the earth (land), and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth (land), wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat (food): and it was so.

Psalm 145:15 ​​ The eyes of all wait upon Thee; and Thou givest them their meat in due season.

Verses 28-30 was a hunter-gatherer age of adamites, the species..

​​ 1:31 ​​ And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

This was the last age (day). All the creating is now done.

Psalm 104:24 ​​ O Yahweh, how manifold are Thy works! in wisdom hast Thou made them all: the land is full of Thy riches.

Adam and Eve

Genesis 2:1 ​​ Thus the heavens (sky) and the earth (land) were finished, and all the host of them.

Host comes from tsaba tsebaah, meaning armies or servants, a mass of people, spiritual and/or physical beings.

​​ 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.

The 7th day, set apart and made holy.

​​ 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.

Sanctified means clean, ceremonially, or morally.

Isaiah 58:13 ​​ If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Yahweh, honourable; and shalt honour Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:

14 ​​ Then shalt you delight thyself in Yahweh; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of Yahweh hath spoken it.

We must observe the Sabbath and keep it holy (set apart).

Verses 1-3 should be 32-34 and part of chapter 1. Genesis 1:1-31 and 2:1-3 are the 1st scroll.

Genesis 2:4-4:26 is the 2nd scroll.

​​ 2:4 ​​ These are the generations of the heavens (skies) and of the earth (land) when they were created, in the day (age) that Yahweh God made the earth (land) and the heavens (skies),

Generations is tol dah (toledaw), meaning descent, family, history, lineage.

Verse 4, the KJV has LORD. LORD is a title, and the title of Baal, Satan.

The true name of our God is Yahweh (YHWH in Hebrew). Verse 4 is the first time Yahweh is used.

​​ 2:5 ​​ And every plant of the field before it was in the earth (land), and every herb of the field before it grew: for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth (land), and there was not a man to till the ground.

There was no rainfall yet. Not until Noah's time. The atmosphere was very dense and dew, mist ​​ and moisture sustained the earth. Rich oxygen.

Field comes from sadeh, meaning to spread out, as flat. Farming and cultivation.

There was also no cultivation by man yet. The species of man were hunter/gatherers before the man Adam.

Isaac Newton Vail’s Canopy theory, which postulates that this canopy of water eventually collapsed, causing the rains of Noah’s Flood. ​​ This canopy consisted of a heavy, thick cloud cover, which would have allowed mainly diffused sunlight to illuminate the atmosphere during the daytime, except at the poles, where the sky was visible and direct sunlight was allowed in.

Verse 5 also tells us that Adam was created to till the soil. ​​ The White Race has, without question, been the foremost farming Race of all. ​​ White farmers have literally fed the world; and that same world is turning against the hand that feeds it.

​​ 2:6 ​​ But there went up a mist from the earth (land), and watered the whole face of the ground.

After creating the species (race) Adam, here in the next verse is the formation of Adam the man.

​​ 2:7 ​​ And Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  ​​​​ 

In Genesis 1:27 God created (bara) the species man (awdawm).

Here in 2:7, Yahweh personally formed (yatsar) the man Adam from the species Adam (awdawm).

Adam became a living soul. No other creation has this specified. They have life, but no soul.

The breath of life is the upgrade, the DNA, the Spirit of Yahweh that was breathed into Adam, the man. The personally selected male from the species, chosen by Yahweh. Now Adam, the man, became a living soul. He was dressed in an incorruptible body, like Christ before His ascension. Yahweh planted His first son, made in His image, into a mortal body, which became immortal, until Adam sinned and lost his Shekinah glory.

Jasher 1:2 And God formed man from the ground, and He blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul endowed with speech.

'Breath' in verse 7 is neshamah (H5397). Divine inspiration, intellect, soul, spirit.

​​ 2:8 ​​ And Yahweh God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed.

Adam was put into the garden from outside the garden where the species Adam lived.

Isaiah 51:3 ​​ For Yahweh shall comfort Zion (the people): He will comfort all her waste places; and He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

This is a prophecy that we will be restored and returned to paradise.

​​ 2:9 ​​ And out of the ground made Yahweh 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.

The tree of life is the pure, unmixed DNA of Yahweh. The genetics of Adam.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil is the law. (Eli- knowledge of g&e is the Nephilim)

The Septuagint has: “...and the tree of learning the 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 four heads.

​​ 2:11 ​​ The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

​​ 2:12 ​​ And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

​​ 2:13 ​​ And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

Ethiopia is Cush. There are two lands of Cush. One is in southeastern Arabia, the other in Africa. The original Ethiopians are Hamites, white people.

​​ 2:14 ​​ And the name of the third river is Hiddekel (Tigris River): that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

Satellite images show the Pison and Gihon riverbeds dried up. Euphrates and Tigris still exist.

​​ 2:15 ​​ And Yahweh God took the man (Adam), and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Dress it and keep it refers to cultivate it and guard it.

Archaeologists tell us that farming and cultivation started around 5000 BC. Right around the same time Yahweh breathed into Adam, the man.

​​ 2:16 ​​ And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you mayest freely eat:

Eat can be taken literally or figuratively, meaning partake. One of the meanings refers to eating food. It also means to lay with sexually.

​​ 2:17 ​​ But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shalt not eat of it: for in the day that you eatest thereof you shalt surely die.

This eating would refer to race mixing. Verse 16 is the literal meaning of eat. Verse 17 is the figurative meaning of eat.

Since day is age or eon, Adam would die in this age. He obviously did not immediately die.

​​ 2:18 ​​ And Yahweh God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet (aid) for him.

Note: Adam was not mortal at this time. He was in his immortal body. Shekinah Glory.

​​ 2:19 ​​ And out of the ground Yahweh 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.

Psalm 8:6 ​​ Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

​​ 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 there was not found an help meet for him.

Beast of the field is a metaphor for the non-adamic men (other races). No help meet could be found for Adam outside his own species since he was the only divine being (immortal) at the time.

​​ 2:21 ​​ And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

​​ 2:22 ​​ And the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Rib is tsela, meaning side. It is used in Exodus for the ark, tabernacle, location, corner, and the side of a hill. In Kings it is used for chambers, boards, planks, and beams.

What is going on here is, Yahweh took some of Adam's DNA and formed Eve, a match to Adam's incorruptible body. Kind after kind.

The meaning of side is, the other side of the gender. Adam was male, Eve's side is woman.

The word woman (H802) is ishshah, a term of subordination, as shown in 3:16, as Adam is to rule over her.

​​ 2:23 ​​ And Adam said, This is now (at this time) bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Notice: The capitalization of Woman and Man. Woman is ishshah nashiym. Man is iysh. In other words, her female side was formed from the male side. Not made from Adam's rib, rather from his DNA, which had the Spirit. Now he has a help meet of the same kind.

​​ 2:24 ​​ Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife (woman): and they shall be one flesh.  ​​​​ (Matt 19:5 ​​ 1Cor 6:16 ​​ Eph 5:31)

The Hebrew says: “...shall be as if they are one flesh". In other words, they will cooperate and work as one towards common goals, physical and spiritual.

​​ 2:25 ​​ And they were both naked (void), the man and his wife (woman), and were not ashamed.

They were not ashamed.

Ashamed-H954 ​​ bûsh ​​ boosh  ​​​​ a verb

A primitive root; properly to pale, that is, by implication to be ashamed; also (by implication) to be disappointed, or delayed: - (be, make, bring to, cause, put to, with, a-) shame (-d), be (put to) confounded (-fusion), become dry, delay, be long.

They were not pale. Pale means not bright, not shining, of a faint luster, dim. This would make sense, as Adam and Eve were clothed in Shekinah Glory, or incorruptible bodies. The same way Christ was when He ascended. So shall He descend when He returns. Adam and Eve lost this glory, or protection, and became mortal.

They were not ashamed or disappointed. Maybe because the lusts of the flesh feel good, and maybe because they were not brought to shame, just yet.

Their loss of their Shekinah Glory is a result of Nudum Pactum. The definition of nudity. An agreement that is void. The agreement between Adam and Eve, and Yahweh. They broke it by partaking in the knowledge of race mixing. Eve did not eat an apple, she was beguiled (deceived and seduced) by the serpent (Devil, fallen angel, adversary).

The definition of naked is, want of means of defense.

Enoch 69:6-8

And the third was named Gadreel: he it is who showed the children of men all the blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed [the weapons of death to the sons of Adam] the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for battle, and all the weapons 7 of death to the children of men. And from his hand they have proceeded against those who dwell 8 on the land from that day and for evermore.

The fall of Adam

Genesis 3:1 ​​ Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which Yahweh God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea (Indeed), hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Serpent in the Hebrew is nachash. It means enchanter, to learn by experience, practice divination, hiss (whisper). ​​ Serpent is used as a metaphor and has a connotation of whispering of (magic) spells.

Subtil is arum, meaning cunning, crafty, wise, intelligent. Cunning is noted as in a bad sense.

Snakes cannot talk and are not cunning enchanters. The “churches” teach that this was a literal snake.

Serpent also means to shine like brass. It must be understood that Adam and Eve were immortal at this time, in their shining glorified bodies (Shekinah glory). The “serpent” also was a shining being and likely emitted a Shekinah-like glow, but a deceptive light.

Wisdom 2:23 ​​ For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.

24 ​​ Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it (death).

Revelation 12:9 ​​ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

​​ 3:2 ​​ And the woman said unto the serpent (enchanter), 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.

Trees are metaphors for people in most places in scripture. Eat usually means to partake in. Here eat and touch have a sexual connotation

Touch is naga. It means to lay the hand upon, it also means to lie with sexually, including figuratively “to acquire”. This coincides directly with 4:1, as Cain was the “acquired one”.

​​ 3:4 ​​ And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

2Corinthians 11:3-4 ​​ But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his villainy, so your minds should be corrupted from that sincerity and that purity which is with the Anointed (the people).

Verse 4 in 2Corinthians is a question.

4 For if indeed one coming proclaims another Yahshua whom we did not proclaim, or you admit a different spirit which you have not received, or a different good message which you had not accepted, would you hold up well?

Galatians 1:7 ​​ Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 ​​ But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

​​ 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.

Know ​​ here is yada, it means to ascertain by seeing, it also means “lie by man”, which is a sexual connotation. The context dictates which of the many uses for the word yada.

​​ 3:6 ​​ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes (“a handsome devil”), 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.  ​​​​ (Jasher 1:10)

Notice there is NO mention of an 'apple'.

Food is from akal, which also means sex. Pleasant also means lusting, and desired also means lust. Wise also means instruction. The fruit of the knowledge of sex given to Adam.

1Timothy 2:14 ​​ And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

​​ 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.

4Maccabees 18:7 ​​ And the righteous mother of the seven children spake also as follows to her offspring: I was a pure virgin, and went not beyond my father's house; but I took care of the built-up rib.

8 ​​ No destroyer of the desert, or ravisher of the plain, injured me; nor did the destructive, deceitful snake, make spoil of my chaste virginity; and I remained with my husband during the period of my prime. ​​ If only Eve did this.

From 3:7, their eyes were opened (knowledge acquired), and they knew they were naked. Shame. If their sins were mental, why cover their genitals? If their sin was of eating an apple, why didn't they cover their mouths?

​​ 3:8 ​​ And they heard the voice (calling) of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife (woman) hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God amongst the trees of the garden.

​​ 3:9 ​​ And Yahweh God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art you?

​​ 3:10 ​​ And he said, I heard Your voice (calling) in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

​​ 3:11 ​​ And He said, Who told you that you wast naked? Hast you eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded you that you shouldest not eat?

This could easily say “How did you learn about sex?”

​​ 3:12 ​​ And the man said, The woman whom you gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

Eve teaches Adam of the knowledge gained from the metaphorical “tree”.

Proverbs 28:13 ​​ He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

​​ 3:13 ​​ And Yahweh God said unto the woman, What is this that you hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Beguiled is nasha, meaning, to lead astray, deceive, seduce.

It is quite evident that before Adam and Eve sinned theirs was not a physical or sexual relationship. The Forgotten Books of Eden tell us that Yahweh, the Father, had desired to bring forth children of Light from both of them (perhaps in the same manner as Eve was brought from Adam). But when they committed 'sexual sin' they were reduced to a purely physical plane of reproducing (Gen 3:16); they lost their aura or 'Shekinah Glory' and were driven out of Eden. They were no longer children of light, free from toil and pain and death.

The serpent is Satan. Eve did lay with him (eat). Now we have corruption of the Holy Seed.

2Corinthians 11:3 ​​ But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty (villainy), your thoughts would be corrupted from that sincerity and that purity which is with the Anointed. ​​ (The group, the children of Israel, the anointed seed)

1Timothy 2:14 ​​ And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived when the transgression occurred.

Yahweh's mercy did not part from them. The fallen man and woman were restored by Yahweh's grace to a condition of favor. They had been given mortality and they came therefore, under the dispensation of that state of being under which Yahweh made with them a second Covenant.

The Adamic Covenant.

This second covenant teaches us the conditions of the life of mortal (fallen) humanity, the conditions that is, that have governed the lives of all men since the Fall, under which, therefore we live. These conditions remain until Yahshua Christ returns.

All these things, the fruit of the curse, are included in the judgment of Yahweh upon the Fall, yet how important it is to notice that even in such a Covenant, in such a statement of Yahweh's will and purpose there is the clear promise of blessing and restoration. In this second Covenant we have the first promise of a Saviour, the first beginnings of Yahweh's work of redemption through the Godly seed.

​​ 3:14 ​​ And Yahweh God said unto the serpent, Because you hast done this, you art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly shalt you go, and dust shalt you eat all the days of your life:

Now, the true meaning of this curse is that the descendants of Nachash, through Cain, will be a low, vile, snake-like breed of people (John 8:44), who would be liars, deceivers and murderers, always lurking in the shadows of society, like snakes in the grass, waiting for a chance to strike and bite their unsuspecting prey, US, ON OUR ADAMIC HEELS.

​​ 3:15 ​​ And I will put enmity (hatred) between you and the woman, and between your (Satan's) seed and her (Eve's) seed; it (Adam's offspring) shall bruise (crush) your (Satan's) head, and you (Satan) shalt bruise his (Adam and Eve's children's) heel.

Verse 15 tells us that there are literally two seedlines of people in the world today. Yahweh's children through Adam and later on Jacob/Israel, ​​ and Satan's children through Cain and later on Esau/Edom. These are the Jews, as will be demonstrated throughout scripture. Enmity means hatred between two different peoples.

Seed means physical descendants. Zera in Hebrew, meaning child. Sperma in Greek, meaning sperm.

The “churches” teach of “spiritual seed” and that by “just believing” one becomes this seed. Scriptures teach that these seeds are races of physical people. God's children and the Devil's children. Christ came from the seed (race) of Adam. Adam is awdawm and describes the caucasian race. The Jews come from the descendants of Cain and/or Esau.

Here in verse 15, we have the first prophecy of Christ, who was of the seed of the woman, because He was born into the Adamic Race. Also true to this prophecy is the seed of the serpent did bruise Christ's heel on the Cross.

The Adamic seed of the woman is the white race. The children of Jacob are the anointed seed of this race.

The serpent seed is the race of Cain and of Esau's descendants. These would be the Jews and all the other mixed races.

Hence, the lifelong enmity between God's children and the Devil's children.

1John 3:12 ​​ Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

​​ 3:15 ​​ And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shalt bruise his heel.

The enchanter (Satan) would have physical children through Cain, who would bruise the heel (crucify) ​​ the Messiah, and by the raising of Yahshua Messiah, true Israel will crush the head of the seed of the enchanter.

​​ 3:16 ​​ Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow (pain) and your conception (pregnancy); in sorrow (painful toil) you shalt bring forth children; and your desire (longing, urge) shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.

For a sexual crime, there is a sexual punishment. Childbearing hurts. Note: White women suffer the most pain during childbirth. Another fact that shows the sin was sexual.

​​ 3:17 ​​ And unto Adam He said, Because you hast hearkened unto the voice of your wife (woman), and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake (because of it); in sorrow (labor) shalt you eat of it all the days of your life;

The ground is cursed to Adam. No more free food. Time to work.

Sorrow is itstsabon, meaning labor, pain, toil.

1Samuel 15:23 ​​ For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you hast rejected the word of Yahweh, He hath also rejected you from being king.

​​ 3:18 ​​ Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to you; and you shalt eat the herb of the field;

Hebrews 6:8 ​​ But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

This is a reference to the children of Satan. We were warned that they would be thorns in our sides.

​​ 3:19 ​​ In the sweat of your face shalt you eat bread, till you return unto the ground; for out of it wast you taken: for dust you art, and unto dust shalt you return.

​​ 3:20 ​​ And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Eve's name is Chavvah, meaning lifegiver.

Adam could have done what Joseph was going to do with Mary when he thought she was with another man. Adam could have put Eve away and asked Yahweh for another woman. But he chose to partake as Eve did.

The last part of verse 20 is not in the original Hebrew, it was added later by some scribe.

If it were there, Eve, being the mother of all living, would be a reference to the matriarch of all Adamites. The mother of the race of Adam. Not all the other races.

​​ 3:21 ​​ Unto Adam also and to his wife did Yahweh God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

These skins of leather are important because being made by Yahweh they had power. The book of Jasher tells of Nimrod and how he gained tremendous power with this heirloom. Esau later stole them.

Since Adam and Eve were no longer fit to live in the protected environment of the Garden, and having lost the protection of their Shekinah Glory, they would now require clothing to protect them from the harsh environment. ​​ This physical clothing replaced the Spiritual Clothing, which they had lost.

​​ 3:22 ​​ And Yahweh God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now (and at this time), lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

The Hebrew has “...the man is become a scribe as one of us,...”. The scribe part has to do with the gaining of knowledge.

Before they sinned, Adam and Eve did not know evil. ​​ Flesh that knows evil cannot be allowed to have immortality. ​​ 

​​ 3:23 ​​ Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

Adam and Eve are driven out from the sinless Eden because of their disobedience, their knowledge gained through race mixing.

​​ 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 (guard) the way of the tree of life.

Jubilees 3:28 And on that day was closed the mouth of all beasts, and of cattle, and of birds, and of whatever walks, and of whatever moves, so that they could no longer speak: for they had all spoken one with another with one lip and with one tongue.
29 And He sent out of the Garden of Eden all flesh that was in the Garden of Eden, and all flesh was scattered according to its kinds, and according to its types unto the places which had been created for them.

Prior to his rebellion, Satan was a cherub!!!! ​​ (Ezek. 28:12-15.)

Adam was sent by Yahweh to be superintendent of earth. To fix what Satan profaned and violated, and restore the original creation. But he failed and disobeyed Yahweh and because of this he fell, hence the fall of Adam. He lost his Shekinah glory (incorruptible body) and became mortal. But this is all part of Yahweh's plan. This life is a test, a trial. If we obey and follow Yahweh's laws and commands, we will be preserved (saved) and ultimately LIVE.

Let's briefly look at the parable of the wheat and the tares.

Matthew 13:24 ​​ Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25 ​​ But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 ​​ But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27 ​​ So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not you sow good seed in your field? from whence then hath it tares?

28 ​​ He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt you then that we go and gather them up?

29 ​​ But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 ​​ Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

13:36 ​​ Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and His disciples came unto Him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

37 ​​ He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38 ​​ The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39 ​​ The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40 ​​ As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 ​​ The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 ​​ And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 ​​ Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

The Greek word for 'Word' is logos, which means intent, or The Plan. What was the plan? To exhibit righteousness. Christ did that. Perfectly. Adam was supposed to do that. The Word, or The Plan is that we imitate our Prince who fulfilled it (the plan).

The children of the kingdom, the wheat that bows when ripe, are those of the race of Adam. Israelites. Descendants of the 12 tribes of Jacob Israel. The anglo-saxon nations of the world.

The children of the wicked one, the tares, which are a poisonous weeds and stand straight up in arrogance, are those of the race of the descendants of Cain and Esau. Canaanites/Edomites.

The devil is the 'serpent' in the garden and father of Cain.

The harvest is the end of the age, the results of our disobedience and allowing the enemy in are brought to light. Notice NO mention of a “rapture”. This is a “church” doctrine. All things that offend (Yahweh) are gathered out and burned. The righteous remain. Thy kingdom come, not your people are “raptured”. If you are “raptured” then you are part of the rooting up and burning.

The Book of Adam and Eve tells of what happened to them in the days following their being expelled from the garden. How they transitioned from blessed immortality and peace to cursed mortality and conflict with the Devil and his hosts.

Cain and Abel

Verse 1 is a corrupted verse, highly tampered with.

Genesis 4:1 ​​ And Adam knew Eve his wife (woman); and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten (acquired) a man from the LORD.

Knew means sexual intercourse.

Gotten a man from the LORD. This is a statement, rather than a question, from Eve, not a fact. Man here comes from iysh (mortal H376). Different than man (awdawm H119/120) which refers to Adam. All Adamites can be described as an iysh, all iysh are not Adamites. Cain was not Adam's son.

1John 3:11 ​​ For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

12 ​​ Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

The original Hebrew reads at the end of verse 1 as: “...and said, “I have acquired a man from where, Yahweh?””

From where is a combination of, H570,369,370, and is posed as a question.

The Aramaic targum called pseudo-Jonathan says at Gen. 4:1: “And Adam knew that his wife Eve had conceived from Sammael the Angel (of death) and she became pregnant and bore Cain. And he was like those on high and not like those below. And she said: ‘I have got a man from the angel of the Lord’.” Another, the Palestinian Targum, says it differently: “And Adam knew his wife Eve, who had desired the Angel; and she conceived, and bare Cain; and she said, I have acquired a man, the angel of the Lord ...”.

In verse 1, the Hebrew has H7706 shadday, meaning mighty one. Satan, a fallen angel was more mighty than an awdawm. The mighty ones appear later as the Nephilim.

​​ 4:2 ​​ And she again bare his (half) brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Abel's name is Hebel, meaning breath.

Eve was already pregnant from the serpent (Satan) with Cain. It is well documented that women can carry two children from different men. This is called Heteropaternal Superfecundation.

Cain is NOT listed in Adam's genealogy (not in the OT, not in the NT, nor anywhere).

Cain was a tiller of the ground. Tiller is abad, which also means worshiper. Cain was a worshiper of the earth, corrupt society, gods.

​​ 4:3 ​​ And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Yahweh.

An offering was not the firstfruits nor the best.

Jasher 1:16 And unto Cain and his offering Yahweh did not turn, and He did not incline to it, for he had brought from the inferior fruit of the ground before Yahweh, and Cain was jealous against his half brother Abel on account of this, and he sought a pretext to slay him.

Now, since Cain brought only the fruit of the ground for his first offering to Yahweh, it is readily discernible that he did not have the spiritual insight of the pure Adamic seed which Abel had.

​​ 4:4 ​​ And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Yahweh had respect unto Abel and to his offering: ​​ (Exo 13:2)

Hebrews 11:4 ​​ By faith (allegiance) Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Abel brought the firstlings of his flock and the fat thereof. Abel sacrificed the first of the flock to Yahweh (Reference the Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden) to foreshadow the coming of 'The Lamb of Yahweh', who was Yahshua Christ, sacrificed for the redemption of the Adamic race.

​​ 4:5 ​​ But unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance (appearance of his face ) fell.

Abel brought the firstlings, the best. Cain did not bring the firstfruits (see Jasher 1:16). Jews are known to hold back the best, where do you think the statement “Jew you down” comes from?

Cain means to attain, get, possess, acquire. It also means to strike, hence a snake striking the heel of Yahweh's children.

Cain came into the world through acquisition, the acquisition of deceit.

Cain did not understand this, because he was not an Adamic 'spirit man' and this ritual of the sacrifice could only be spiritually discerned. Goodness and doing well was not in him.

​​ 4:6 ​​ And Yahweh said unto Cain, Why art you wroth? and why is your countenance fallen?

​​ 4:7 ​​ If you doest well, shalt you not be accepted? and if you doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto you shall be his (sin's) desire, and you shalt rule over him (sin).

Sin is a metaphor for Satan in verse 7.

Septuagint: 7 ​​ Hast you not sinned if you hast brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to you shall be his submission, and you shalt rule over him.

The original Hebrew: If you do right, will you not be exalted? And if you do not right, sin lurks at the gate: and you he will long for, and you shall rule with him.

Yahweh was giving Cain the chance to do well, but Yahweh knew that a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. He was challenging Cain to do good. But Cain and his children can only do the lusts of their father the Devil, as Christ stated when He was talking to the Edomite Pharisees.

Sin lurks from the gate (birth).

​​ 4:8 ​​ And Cain talked with Abel his (half) brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his (half) brother, and slew (murdered) him.  ​​​​ (John 8:44)

Jasher 1:7 And in some time after, Cain and Abel his half brother, went one day into the field to do their work; and they were both in the field, Cain tilling and ploughing his ground, and Abel feeding his flock; and the flock passed that part which Cain had ploughed in the ground, and it sorely grieved Cain on this account.
18 And Cain approached his half brother Abel in anger, and he said unto him, What is there between me and you, that you comest to dwell and bring your flock to feed in my land?
19 And Abel answered his half brother Cain and said unto him, What is there between me and you, that you shalt eat the flesh of my flock and clothe thyself with their wool?
20 And now therefore, put off the wool of my sheep with which you hast clothed thyself, and recompense me for their fruit and flesh which you hast eaten, and when you shalt have done this, I will then go from your land as you hast said?
21 And Cain said to his half brother Abel, Surely if I slay you this day, who will require your blood from me?
22 And Abel answered Cain, saying, Surely God who has made us in the land, He will avenge my cause, and He will require my blood from you shouldst you slay me, for Yahweh is the judge and arbiter, and it is He who will requite man according to his evil, and the wicked man according to the wickedness that he may do upon land.
23 And now, if you shouldst slay me here, surely God knoweth your secret views, and will judge you for the evil which you didst declare to do unto me this day.
24 And when Cain heard the words which Abel his half brother had spoken, behold the anger of Cain was kindled against his brother Abel for declaring this thing.
25 And Cain hastened and rose up, and took the iron part of his ploughing instrument, with which he suddenly smote his half brother and he slew him, and Cain spilt the blood of his half brother Abel upon the ground, and the blood of Abel streamed upon the ground before the flock.
Jubilees 4:2 And in the first (year) of the third jubilee, Cain slew Abel because (God) accepted the sacrifice of Abel, and did not accept the offering of Cain.

3. And he slew him in the field: and his blood cried from the ground to heaven (the sky), complaining because he had slain him.

Book of Adam and Eve 83:34 "O brother, the country is so beautiful, and there are such beautiful and pleasurable trees in it, and charming to look at! But brother, you hast never been one day in the field to take your pleasure therein.

35 "To-day, O, my brother, I very much wish you wouldest

come with me into the field, to enjoy thyself and to bless our fields and our flocks, for you art righteous, and I love you much, O my brother! but you hast estranged thyself from me."

36 Then Abel consented to go with his brother Cain into the field.

37 But before going out, Cain said to Abel, "Wait for me, until I fetch a staff, because of wild beasts."

38 Then Abel stood waiting in his innocence. But Cain, the forward, fetched a staff and went out.

39 And they began, Cain and his brother Abel, to walk in the way; Cain talking to him, and comforting him, to make him forget everything.

84:1 AND so they went on, until they came to a lonely place, where there were no sheep; then Abel said to Cain, "Behold, my brother, we are weary of walking; for we see none of the trees, nor of the fruits, nor of the verdure, nor of the sheep, nor any one of the things of which you didst tell me. Where are those sheep of thine you didst tell me to bless?"

2 Then Cain said to him, "Come on, and presently you shalt see many beautiful things. but go before me, until I come up to you."

3 Then went Abel forward, but Cain remained behind him.

4 And Abel was walking in his innocence, without guile; not believing his brother would kill him.

5 Then Cain, when he came up to him, comforted him with his talk, walking a little behind him; then he hastened, and smote him with the staff, blow upon blow, until he was stunned,

6 But when Abel fell down upon the ground, seeing that his brother meant to kill him, he said to Cain, "O, my brother, have pity on me. By the breasts we have sucked, smite me not! By the womb that bare us and that brought us into the world, smite me not unto death with that staff! If you wilt kill me, take one of these large stones, and kill me outright."

7 Then Cain, the hard-hearted, and cruel murderer, took a large stone, and smote his brother with it upon the head, until his brains oozed out, and he weltered in his blood, before him.

8 And Cain repented not of what he had done.

9 But the ground, when the blood of righteous Abel fell upon it, trembled, as it drank his blood, and would have brought Cain to naught for it.

10 And the blood of Abel cried mysteriously to God, to avenge him of his murderer.

11 Then Cain began at once to dig the ground wherein to lay his brother; for he was trembling from the fear that came upon him, when he saw the ground tremble on his account.

12 He then cast his brother into the pit he made, and covered him with dust. But the ground would not receive him; but it threw him up at once.

13 Again did Cain dig the ground and hid his brother in it; but again did the ground throw him up on itself; until three times did the ground thus throw up on itself the body of Abel.

14 The muddy ground threw him up the first time, because he was not the first creation; and it threw him up the second

time and would not receive him, because he was righteous and good, and was killed without a cause; and the ground threw him up the third time and would not receive him, that there might remain before his brother a witness against him.

15 And so did the ground mock Cain, until the Word of God, came to him concerning his brother.

Matthew 23:35 ​​ That upon you (Cain and Esau's seed) may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

​​ 4:9 ​​ And Yahweh said unto Cain, Where is Abel your (half) brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my (half) brother's keeper (guardian)?

​​ 4:10 ​​ And He said, What hast you done? the voice of your (half) brother's blood crieth unto Me from the ground.

Abel still awaits wrath and vengeance to Cain and his seed. Cain is cursed FROM the ground. It will never again yield it's bounty to his seedline.

​​ 4:11 ​​ And now art you cursed from the earth (land), which hath opened her mouth to receive your (half) brother's blood from your hand;

​​ 4:12 ​​ When you tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength (produce); a fugitive and a vagabond shalt you be in the earth.

Jews are not farmers. They are merchants. Jews are vagabonds and have been kicked out of over 100 countries because of their ways. Jews are instigators and deceivers and have deceived the whole world, just as Christ warned. Even our American founding fathers warned of allowing Jews into our society. The Jews are NOT Israelites. Israelites are of Jacob. Jews are of Cain and Esau.

​​ 4:13 ​​ And Cain said unto Yahweh, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

​​ 4:14 ​​ Behold, You hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from Your face (presence) shall I be hid (absent); and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

Earth is erets, which means land. Cain did not leave the face of the earth, he left that land.

Who is going to slay him if Adam and Eve were the first two people ever, as the “churches” teach? Evidently there were the species of Adam (from Gen 1:26-27), and whatever other races of people around. These would be the offspring of the fallen angels and the species, or class, of Adam. Further explanation in chapter 6.

​​ 4:15 ​​ And Yahweh said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Yahweh set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

Some say the mark is the hook nose, which is a telltale sign. Some say the V shaped smile. Others say the mark is that he was a giant. The mark is also his ways and actions. As Christ stated, “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”

​​ 4:16 ​​ And Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Nod means vagrancy, exile, wandering.

​​ 4:17 ​​ And Cain knew his wife (woman); and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

Were did Cain find a wife and how did he build a city if Adam and Eve were the first and only ​​ two people ever at that time?

Jasher 1:33 And at that time Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh, from the place where he was, and he went moving and wandering in the land toward the east of Eden, he and all belonging to him.

​​ 4:18 ​​ And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.

​​ 4:19 ​​ And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

​​ 4:20 ​​ And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.

​​ 4:21 ​​ And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

​​ 4:22 ​​ And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass (bronze) and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

No farmers, It seems Yahweh's curse is in full effect.

​​ 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.

The book of Jasher tells about how Lamech accidentally kills Cain while hunting.

Cain's descendants genealogies do not go beyond here, but we see them again in Deuteronomy 13:13 where in the exodus from Egypt there was a mixed multitude (Ex 12:38) and among them were the sons of Belial (Satan) leading the sons of Yahweh astray.

And again, ages later, in John 8:37-44 where Christ tells the Pharisees they are offspring of Satan (the serpent and Eve through Cain) and they could not hear His voice because He spoke the Truth. The Devil's children cannot understand the Truth.

It can be confusing when we see that Cain's children have the same names as Seth's.

Let's observe why:

Starting with the birth of Cain's son Enoch, the Scriptures trace the line of Cain's descendants for five generations, coming down to a patriarch named Lamech:

"And to Enoch [Chanok] was born Irad [Yirad], and Irad begot Mehujael

[Mechiyael or Mechuyael], and Mehujael begot Methusael [Methushael],

and Methusael begot Lamech [Lemek]" (Gen. 4:18)

The Septuagint's spellings of these names is very close to the Hebrew text, but with two differences: ​​ "Henoch," "Gaidad," "Maleleel," "Mathusala," and "Lamech." ​​ The form "Gaidad" represents a Hebrew form of Yaidad or Yidad, differing from the Hebrew spelling by just one letter. The Hebrew letters daleth (D) and reysh (R) are very similar in appearance, and confusion between those two letters is common in ancient Hebrew manuscripts. ​​ In this case, the Septuagint is in error, since there can be little question that Yirad is the proper form of the name.

The Septuagint's reading of "Maleleel" also seems to be erroneous, because "Maleleel" is the Septuagint's rendering of the Hebrew name Mahalal'el, the name of an antediluvian patriarch of the line of Seth, son of Adam (Gen. 5:12-17), whereas the Hebrew text of Gen. 4:18 shows Mechiyael or Mechuyael. ​​ In contrast to the Septuagint's "Maleleel," the Latin Vulgate shows "Maviahel" ("Mauiael") as the name of Irad's son, which is very close to the Hebrew form of the name of Irad's son. Mechiyael means "God is my life-giver," but Mechuyael means "wiped out by God," a foreshadowing of the ultimate fate of the Cainites, who drowned in the Flood, and at the 2nd Advent will all be destroyed.

The Septuagint's apparent confusion about the name of Irad's son probably resulted from the remarkable fact that six of the names in Cain's family in Gen. 4 are very similar or identical to six of the names in Seth's family in Gen. 5. In Cain's family, we find the names of Cain (Kayin), Enoch (Chanok), Irad (Yirad), Mehujael (Mechuyael), Methusael (Methushael), and Lamech (Lemek).

In Seth's family, we find Cainan (Kenan), Mahalaleel (Mahalal'el), Jared (Yered), Enoch (Chanok), Methuselah (Methushelach), and Lamech (Lemek). Thus, two of the names, Enoch and Lamech, are identical, and the other four names are very similar: Cainan answers to Cain, Jared answers to Irad, Mahalaleel answers to Mehujael, and Methuselah answers to Methusael. ​​ Due to these correlations, it is hardly surprising that, whether by carelessness or design, the Septuagint renders both Mahalaleel and Mehujael as "Maleleel," and renders both Methuselah and Methusael as "Mathusala." ​​ Further on we shall examine additional indications that in ancient times the Cainite and Sethite lineages were sometimes confused.

What are we to make of these correlations between Cainite names and Sethite names? The popularity of and recurrence of names in closely related families is a very, very common phenomenon. The families of Cain and Seth evidently spoke the same language, and were probably aware of each other. In those days, certain names could have been more popular than others, and naming customs in those far-off days could have been such that these cousins would choose similar or identical names for their sons. The resemblance of the one lineage to the other is not of itself sufficient grounds for concluding that one or both of the lineages is imaginary.

Indeed, we may consider that the similar names of the Cainite and Sethite lineages in fact helps to underscore the stark differences between Cain's lineage and Seth's lineage. As we shall explore in greater detail below, in Genesis 4 the story is told of how, in just seven generations, Cain's family achieved worldly success -- city-building (Enoch), animal husbandry (Jabal), metal smelting (Tubal-cain), music (Jubal) – but mingled those achievements with violence and sexual immorality. In contrast, in ten generations Seth's family produced saintly men, notably Enoch and Noah, righteous men who walked with God, unlike Cain who left Yahweh's presence.

The great difference between the Cainites and Sethites is especially indicated by the great contrast and differences between the two same-named persons in these genealogies, the two Enochs and the two Lamechs. The Cainite Enoch is known merely as the eponym of the first city ever built, whereas the Sethite Enoch is known for godliness and for being translated that he should not see death. The Cainite Enoch is this-worldly, and typifies material and temporal successes and achievements. The Sethite Enoch is other-worldly, is devoted to serving and pleasing God and seeking union with Him -- that is, he typifies receiving grace and blessing from heaven. As for the two Lamechs, we will take a closer look at them below, but for now we can note that it is hardly a coincidence that both Lamechs speak prophecies or predictions -- but how different are their prophecies. The bigamist Cainite announces that he has committed homicide and predicts a fearful vengeance on anyone who kills him, whereas the Sethite predicts that his son Noah will be a harbinger of blessing and better days.

The impression one might get from all of this is that it almost seems like the Cainites and Sethites were engaged in a "naming duel," as if the one family would try to "answer" the other family's person of a given name.

The meaning of Mehujael's name was noted above. Mehujael's father bore a name, Yirad, that may mean "a scion," coming from arada, "to sprout," or it could mean "descent," from yarad. ​​ As for the names Methushael and Lemek, they seem to be Babylonian or Sumerian in origin. Methushael probably is the Hebrew equivalent of Mutusha-ilu, "vassal of God," while Lemek could be related to the Sumerian word lamga, "servant" – in this case, presumably, a servant of God or of some deity. Thus, despite Cain's wickedness, several of the names in his family indicate that they retained some kind of religion and knowledge of God. Indeed, another tell-tale indication of Cainite religion is the presence of "theophoric" names -- that is, names containing a deity's name or title -- in the Cainite lineage.

Interestingly enough, theophoric names appear in both the Cainite and the Sethites lineages in the same generation. The first theophoric name in the Cainite lineage is Mehujael, third in descent from Cain, while the first theophoric name in the Sethite lineage is Mahalaleel, third in descent from Seth. The appearance of theophoric names may be related to Gen. 4:26, where it says that in the days after the birth of Seth's son Enosh, "calling upon Yahweh's name" began. Cain's family had some kind of religion, but because of Cain's sinful life we should expect the religion of his descendants to be corrupted in some way.

​​ 4:25 ​​ And Adam knew his wife (woman) again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

Eve is not claiming that Cain is her son, verifying her question in 4:1.

Jasher 2:1 And it was in the hundred and thirtieth year of the life of Adam upon the land, that he again knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bare a son in his likeness and in his image, and she called his name Seth, saying, Because God has appointed me another seed in the place of Abel, for Cain has slain him.

​​ 4:26 ​​ And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of Yahweh.

The word 'men' is not in the original Hebrew.

Jasher 2:2 And Seth lived one hundred and five years, and he begat a son; and Seth called the name of his son Enosh, saying, Because in that time the sons of Adam began to multiply, and to afflict their souls and hearts by transgressing and rebelling against God.

17 He then turned to his son Seth, and to Eve his wife, and said to them, "Preserve this gold, this incense, and this myrrh, that God has given us for a sign; for in days that are coming, a flood will overwhelm the whole creation. But those who shall go into the ark shall take with them the gold, the incense, and the myrrh, together with my body; and will lay the gold, the incense, and the myrrh, with my body in the midst of the land.

Book of Adam and Eve 92:18 "Then, after a long time, the city in which the gold, the incense, and the myrrh are found with my body, shall be plundered. But when it is spoiled, the gold the incense, and the myrrh shall be taken care of with the spoil that is kept; and naught of them shall perish, until the Word of God, made man shall come; when kings shall take them, and shall offer to Him, gold in token of His being King; incense, in token of His being God of heaven and earth; and myrrh, in token of His passion.

19 "Cold also, as a token of His overcoming Satan, and all our foes; incense as a token that He will rise from the dead, and be exalted above things in heaven and things in the earth; and myrrh, in token that He will drink bitter gall; and feel the pains of hell from Satan.

20 "And now, O Seth, my son, behold I have revealed unto you hidden mysteries, which God had revealed unto me. Keep my commandment, for thyself, and for your people,"

The descendants of Adam

Genesis 5:1 ​​ This is the book of the generations of Adam (H121). In the day that God created man (H120), in the likeness of God made He him;

Adam is H121, meaning the man Adam. Man is H120, meaning the race (species). Day is age.

This book contains the genealogy (descendants) of the man Adam, in the age that God created the race of Adam. The race of Adam is distinguished from the other races. Adam was NOT the father of the other races as the “churches” teach.

​​ 5:2 ​​ Male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

Verses 1-2 are referring back to the creation of the species (race) in Genesis 1:26-27.

Now begins the genealogy of Adam the man.

Notice, Cain is nowhere mentioned. Cain was NOT Adam's son.

​​ 5:3 ​​ And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness (resemblance), after his image; and called his name Seth:

​​ 5:4 ​​ And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

​​ 5:5 ​​ And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

Hebrews 9:27 ​​ And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

​​ 5:6 ​​ And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos (Enosh):

Jasher 2:2 And Seth lived one hundred and five years, and he begat a son; and Seth called the name of his son Enosh, saying, Because in that time the sons of Adam began to multiply, and to afflict their souls and hearts by transgressing and rebelling against God.

3 And it was in the days of Enosh that the sons of Adam continued to rebel and transgress against God, to increase the anger of Yahweh against the sons of Adam.

4 And the sons of Adam went and they served other gods, and they forgot Yahweh who had created them in the land: and in those days the sons of Adam made images of bronze and iron, wood and stone, and they bowed down and served them.

5 And every man made his god and they bowed down to them, and the sons of Adam forsook Yahweh all the days of Enosh and his children; and the anger of Yahweh was kindled on account of their works and abominations which they did in the land.

6 And Yahweh caused the waters of the river Gihon to overwhelm them, and He destroyed and consumed them, and He destroyed the third part of the land, and notwithstanding this, the sons of Adam did not turn from their evil ways, and their hands were yet extended to do evil in the sight of Yahweh.

7 And in those days there was neither sowing nor reaping in the land; and there was no food for the sons of Adam and the famine was very great in those days.

8 And the seed which they sowed in those days in the ground became thorns, thistles and briers; for from the days of Adam was this declaration concerning the ground, of the curse of God, which He cursed the ground, on account of the sin which Adam sinned before Yahweh.

9 And it was when men continued to rebel and transgress against God, and to corrupt their ways, that the land also became corrupt.

​​ 5:7 ​​ And Seth lived after he begat Enos (Enosh) eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:

​​ 5:8 ​​ And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.

​​ 5:9 ​​ And Enosh lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:

​​ 5:10 ​​ And Enosh lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:

​​ 5:11 ​​ And all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years: and he died.

Jasher 2:11 And Cainan grew up and he was forty years old, and he became wise and had knowledge and skill in all wisdom, and he reigned over all the sons of Adam, and he led the sons of Adam to wisdom and knowledge; for Cainan was a very wise man and had understanding in all wisdom, and with his wisdom he ruled over spirits and demons;

12 And Cainan knew by his wisdom that God would destroy the sons of Adam for having sinned upon land, and that Yahweh would in the latter days bring upon them the waters of the flood.

13 And in those days Cainan wrote upon tablets of stone, what was to take place in time to come, and he put them in his treasures.

14 And Cainan reigned over the whole land, and he turned some of the sons of Adam to the service of God.

​​ 5:12 ​​ And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:

​​ 5:13 ​​ And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:

Jasher 2:15 And when Cainan was seventy years old, he begat three sons and two daughters.

16 And these are the names of the children of Cainan; the name of the first born Mahlallel, the second Enan, and the third Mered, and their sisters were Adah and Zillah; these are the five children of Cainan that were born to him.

​​ 5:14 ​​ And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.

​​ 5:15 ​​ And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:

​​ 5:16 ​​ And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:

​​ 5:17 ​​ And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.

​​ 5:18 ​​ And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:

​​ 5:19 ​​ And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

​​ 5:20 ​​ And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.

The Book of Adam and Eve 103:8 And Jared continued to teach his children eighty years; but after that they began to transgress the commandments he had given them, and to do many things without his counsel. They began to go down from the Holy Mountain one after another, and to mix with the children of Cain, in foul fellowships.

9 Now the reason for which the children of Jared went down the Holy Mountain, is this, that we will now reveal unto you. (See following chapters in Book of A&E)

​​ 5:21 ​​ And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:

​​ 5:22 ​​ And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

​​ 5:23 ​​ And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:

​​ 5:24 ​​ And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

Sirach 44:16 ​​ Enoch pleased Yahweh, and was translated, being an example of repentance to all generations.

49:14 ​​ But upon the earth was no man created like Enoch; for he was taken from the earth.

Hebrews 11:5 ​​ By faith (allegiance) Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Enoch is responsible for the Solar Calendar of Yahweh.

Jasher 3:1 And Enoch lived sixty-five years and he begat Methuselah; and Enoch walked with God after having begot Methuselah, and he served Yahweh, and despised the evil ways of men.

2 And the soul of Enoch was wrapped up in the instruction of Yahweh, in knowledge and in understanding; and he wisely retired from the sons of Adam, and secreted himself from them for many days.

3 And it was at the expiration of many years, whilst he was serving Yahweh, and praying before Him in his house, that a messenger of Yahweh called to him from Heaven, and he said, Here am I.

4 And he said, Rise, go forth from your house and from the place where you dost hide thyself, and appear to the sons of Adam, in order that you mayest teach them the way in which they should go and the work which they must accomplish to enter in the ways of God.

5 And Enoch rose up according to the word of Yahweh, and went forth from his house, from his place and from the chamber in which he was concealed; and he went to the sons of Adam and taught them the ways of Yahweh, and at that time assembled the sons of Adam and acquainted them with the instruction of Yahweh.

6 And he ordered it to be proclaimed in all places where the sons of Adam dwelt, saying, Where is the man who wishes to know the ways of Yahweh and good works? let him come to Enoch.

7 And all the sons of Adam then assembled to him, for all who desired this thing went to Enoch, and Enoch reigned over the sons of Adam according to the word of Yahweh, and they came and bowed to him and they heard his word.

8 And the spirit of God was upon Enoch, and he taught all his men the wisdom of God and His ways, and the sons of Adam served Yahweh all the days of Enoch, and they came to hear his wisdom.

9 And all the kings of the sons of Adam, both first and last, together with their princes and judges, came to Enoch when they heard of his wisdom, and they bowed down to him, and they also required of Enoch to reign over them, to which he consented.

10 And they assembled in all, one hundred and thirty kings and princes, and they made Enoch king over them and they were all under his power and command.

11 And Enoch taught them wisdom, knowledge, and the ways of Yahweh; and he made peace amongst them, and peace was throughout the land during the life of Enoch.

12 And Enoch reigned over the sons of Adam two hundred and forty-three years, and he did justice and righteousness with all his people, and he led them in the ways of Yahweh.

13 And these are the generations of Enoch, Methuselah, Elisha, and Elimelech, three sons; and their sisters were Melca and Nahmah, and Methuselah lived eighty-seven years and he begat Lamech.

14 And it was in the fifty-sixth year of the life of Lamech when Adam died; nine hundred and thirty years old was he at his death, and his two sons, with Enoch and Methuselah his son, buried him with great pomp, as at the burial of kings, in the cave which God had told him.

15 And in that place all the sons of Adam made a great mourning and weeping on account of Adam; it has therefore become a custom among the sons of Adam to this day.

16 And Adam died because he ate of the tree of knowledge; he and his children after him, as Yahweh God had spoken.

17 And it was in the year of Adam's death which was the two hundred and forty-third year of the reign of Enoch, in that time Enoch resolved to separate himself from the sons of Adam and to secret himself as at first in order to serve Yahweh.

18 And Enoch did so, but did not entirely secret himself from them, but kept away from the sons of Adam three days and then went to them for one day.

19 And during the three days that he was in his chamber, he prayed to, and praised Yahweh his God, and the day on which he went and appeared to his subjects he taught them the ways of Yahweh, and all they asked him about Yahweh he told them.

20 And he did in this manner for many years, and he afterward concealed himself for six days, and appeared to his people one day in seven; and after that once in a month, and then once in a year, until all the kings, princes and sons of Adam sought for him, and desired again to see the face of Enoch, and to hear his word; but they could not, as all the sons of Adam were greatly afraid of Enoch, and they feared to approach him on account of the Godlike awe that was seated upon his countenance; therefore no man could look at him, fearing he might be punished and die.

21 And all the kings and princes resolved to assemble the sons of Adam, and to come to Enoch, thinking that they might all speak to him at the time when he should come forth amongst them, and they did so.

22 And the day came when Enoch went forth and they all assembled and came to him, and Enoch spoke to them the words of Yahweh and he taught them wisdom and knowledge, and they bowed down before him and they said, May the king live! May the king live!

23 And in some time after, when the kings and princes and the sons of Adam were speaking to Enoch, and Enoch was teaching them the ways of God, behold an angel of Yahweh then called unto Enoch from heaven, and wished to bring him up to heaven to make him reign there over the sons of God, as he had reigned over the sons of Adam upon the land.

24 When at that time Enoch heard this he went and assembled all the inhabitants of the land, and taught them wisdom and knowledge and gave them divine instructions, and he said to them, I have been required to ascend into heaven, I therefore do not know the day of my going.

25 And now therefore I will teach you wisdom and knowledge and will give you instruction before I leave you, how to act upon the land whereby you may live; and he did so.

26 And he taught them wisdom and knowledge, and gave them instruction, and he reproved them, and he placed before them statutes and judgments to do upon the land, and he made peace amongst them, and he taught them everlasting life, and dwelt with them some time teaching them all these things.

27 And at that time the sons of Adam were with Enoch, and Enoch was speaking to them, and they lifted up their eyes and the likeness of a great horse descended from heaven, and the horse paced in the air;

28 And they told Enoch what they had seen, and Enoch said to them, On my account does this horse descend upon the land; the time is come when I must go from you and I shall no more be seen by you.

29 And the horse descended at that time and stood before Enoch, and all the sons of Adam that were with Enoch saw him.

30 And Enoch then again ordered a voice to be proclaimed, saying, Where is the man who delighteth to know the ways of Yahweh his God, let him come this day to Enoch before he is taken from us.

31 And all the sons of Adam assembled and came to Enoch that day; and all the kings of the land with their princes and counsellors remained with him that day; and Enoch then taught the sons of Adam wisdom and knowledge, and gave them divine instruction; and he bade them serve Yahweh and walk in His ways all the days of their lives, and he continued to make peace amongst them.

32 And it was after this that he rose up and rode upon the horse; and he went forth and all the sons of Adam went after him, about eight hundred thousand men; and they went with him one day's journey.

33 And the second day he said to them, Return home to your tents, why will you go? perhaps you may die; and some of them went from him, and those that remained went with him six day's journey; and Enoch said to them every day, Return to your tents, lest you may die; but they were not willing to return, and they went with him.

34 And on the sixth day some of the men remained and clung to him, and they said to him, We will go with you to the place where you goest; as Yahweh liveth, death only shall separate us.

35 And they urged so much to go with him, that he ceased speaking to them; and they went after him and would not return;

36 And when the kings returned they caused a census to be taken, in order to know the number of remaining men that went with Enoch; and it was upon the seventh day that Enoch ascended into heaven in a whirlwind, with horses and chariots of fire.

37 And on the eighth day all the kings that had been with Enoch sent to bring back the number of men that were with Enoch, in that place from which he ascended into heaven.

38 And all those kings went to the place and they found the land there filled with snow, and upon the snow were large stones of snow, and one said to the other, Come, let us break through the snow and see, perhaps the men that remained with Enoch are dead, and are now under the stones of snow, and they searched but could not find him, for he had ascended into heaven.

Jasher 4:1-8

1 And all the days that Enoch lived upon land, were three hundred and sixty-five years.

2 And when Enoch had ascended into heaven, all the kings of the land rose and took Methuselah his son and anointed him, and they caused him to reign over them in the place of his father.

3 And Methuselah acted uprightly in the sight of God, as his father Enoch had taught him, and he likewise during the whole of his life taught the sons of Adam wisdom, knowledge and the fear of God, and he did not turn from the good way either to the right or to the left.

4 But in the latter days of Methuselah, the sons of Adam turned from Yahweh, they corrupted the land, they robbed and plundered each other, and they rebelled against God and they transgressed, and they corrupted their ways, and would not hearken to the voice of Methuselah, but rebelled against him.

5 And Yahweh was exceedingly wroth against them, and Yahweh continued to destroy the seed in those days, so that there was neither sowing nor reaping in the land.

6 For when they sowed the ground in order that they might obtain food for their support, behold, thorns and thistles were produced which they did not sow.

7 And still the sons of Adam did not turn from their evil ways, and their hands were still extended to do evil in the sight of God, and they provoked Yahweh with their evil ways, and Yahweh was very wroth, and repented that He had made man.

8 And He thought to destroy and annihilate them and He did so.

​​ 5:25 ​​ And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:

​​ 5:26 ​​ And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:

​​ 5:27 ​​ And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.

Jasher 2:17 And Lamech, the son of Methusael, became related to Cainan by marriage, and he took his two daughters for his wives, and Adah conceived and bare a son to Lamech, and she called his name Jabal.

18 And she again conceived and bare a son, and called his name Jubal; and Zillah, her sister, was barren in those days and had no offspring.

19 For in those days the sons of Adam began to trespass against God, and to transgress the commandments which He had commanded to Adam, to be fruitful and multiply in the land.

20 And some of the sons of Adam caused their wives to drink a draught that would render them barren, in order that they might retain their figures and whereby their beautiful appearance might not fade.

21 And when the sons of Adam caused some of their wives to drink, Zillah drank with them.

22 And the child-bearing women appeared abominable in the sight of their husbands as widows, whilst their husbands lived, for to the barren ones only they were attached.

23 And in the end of days and years, when Zillah became old, Yahweh opened her womb.

24 And she conceived and bare a son and she called his name Tubal Cain, saying, After I had withered away have I obtained him from the Almighty God.

25 And she conceived again and bare a daughter, and she called her name Naamah, for she said, After I had withered away have I obtained pleasure and delight.

26 And Lamech was old and advanced in years, and his eyes were dim that he could not see, and Tubal Cain, his son, was leading him and it was one day that Lamech went into the field and Tubal Cain his son was with him, and whilst they were walking in the field, Cain the (step)son of Adam advanced towards them; for Lamech was very old and could not see much, and Tubal Cain his son was very young.

27 And Tubal Cain told his father to draw his bow, and with the arrows he smote Cain, who was yet far off, and he slew him, for he appeared to them to be an animal.

28 And the arrows entered Cain's body although he was distant from them, and he fell to the ground and died.

29 And Yahweh requited Cain's evil according to his wickedness, which he had done to his half brother Abel, according to the word of Yahweh which He had spoken.

30 And it came to pass when Cain had died, that Lamech and Tubal went to see the animal which they had slain, and they saw, and behold Cain their grandfather was fallen dead upon the ground.

31 And Lamech was very much grieved at having done this, and in clapping his hands together he struck his son and caused his death.

32 And the wives of Lamech heard what Lamech had done, and they sought to kill him.

33 And the wives of Lamech hated him from that day, because he slew Cain and Tubal Cain, and the wives of Lamech separated from him, and would not hearken to him in those days.

34 And Lamech came to his wives, and he pressed them to listen to him about this matter.

35 And he said to his wives Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice O wives of Lamech, attend to my words, for now you have imagined and said that I slew a man with my wounds, and a child with my stripes for their having done no violence, but surely know that I am old and grey-headed, and that my eyes are heavy through age, and I did this thing unknowingly.

36 And the wives of Lamech listened to him in this matter, and they returned to him with the advice of their father Adam, but they bore no children to him from that time, knowing that God's anger was increasing in those days against the sons of Adam, to destroy them with the waters of the flood for their evil doings.

​​ 5:28 ​​ And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:

​​ 5:29 ​​ And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which Yahweh hath cursed.

Jasher 4:13-21

13 And the wife of Lamech conceived and bare him a son at that time, at the revolution of the year.

14 And Methuselah called his name Noah, saying, The land was in his days at rest and free from corruption, and Lamech his father called his name Menachem, saying, This one shall comfort us in our works and miserable toil in the land, which God had cursed.

15 And the child grew up and was weaned, and he went in the ways of his father Methuselah, perfect and upright with God.

16 And all the sons of Adam departed from the ways of Yahweh in those days as they multiplied upon the face of the land with sons and daughters, and they taught one another their evil practices and they continued sinning against Yahweh.

17 And every man made unto himself a god, and they robbed and plundered every man his neighbor as well as his relative, and they corrupted the land, and the land was filled with violence.

18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of Adam in those days took from the cattle of the land, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke Yahweh; and God saw the whole land and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon the land, all men and all animals.

19 And Yahweh said, I will blot out man that I created from the face of the land, yea from man to the birds of the air, together with cattle and beasts that are in the field for I repent that I made them.

20 And all men who walked in the ways of Yahweh, died in those days, before Yahweh brought the evil upon man which He had declared, for this was from Yahweh, that they should not see the evil which Yahweh spoke of concerning the sons of Adam.

21 And Noah found grace in the sight of Yahweh, and Yahweh chose him and his children to raise up seed from them upon the face of the whole land.

FRAGMENT OF THE BOOK OF NOAH ​​ (CVI-CVII.)

CHAPTER CVI.

1. And after some days my son Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she became pregnant by him and bore a son. 2. And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. 3. And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and conversed with Yahweh of righteousness. 4. And his father Lamech was afraid of him and fled, and came to his father Methuselah. 5. And he said unto him: 'I have begotten a strange son, diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the sons of the God of heaven; and his nature is different and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his countenance is glorious. 6. And it seems to me that he is not sprung from me but from the angels, and I fear that in his days a wonder may be wrought on the earth. 7. And now, my father, I am here to petition you and implore you that you mayest go to Enoch, our father, and learn from him the truth, for his dwelling-place is amongst the angels.' 8. And when Methuselah heard the words of his son, he came to me to the ends of the earth; for he had heard that I was there, and he cried aloud, and I heard his voice and I came to him. And 1 said unto him: 'Behold, here am I, my son, wherefore hast you come to me?' 9. And he answered and said: 'Because of a great cause of anxiety have I come to you, and because of a disturbing vision have I approached. 10. And now, my father, hear me: unto Lamech my son there hath been born a son, the like of whom there is none, and his nature is not like man's nature, and the colour of his body is whiter than snow and redder than the bloom of a rose, and the hair of his head is whiter than white wool, and his eyes are like the rays of the sun, and he opened his eyes and thereupon lighted up the whole house. 11. And he arose in the hands of the midwife, and opened his mouth and blessed Yahweh of heaven. 12. And his father Lamech became afraid and fled to me, and did not believe that he was sprung from him, but that he was in the likeness of the angels of heaven; and behold I have come to you that you mayest make known to me the truth.' 13. And I, Enoch, answered and said unto him: 'Yahweh will do a new thing on the earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and make known to you that in the generation of my father Jared some of the angels of heaven transgressed the word of Yahweh. 14. And behold they commit sin and transgress the law, and have united themselves with women and commit sin with them, and have married some of them, and have begot children by them. 17. And they shall produce on the earth giants not according to the spirit, but according to the flesh, and there shall be a great punishment on the earth, and the earth shall be cleansed from all impurity. 15. Yea, there shall come a great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a deluge and a great destruction for one year. 16. And this son who has been born unto you shall be left on the earth, and his three children shall be saved with him: when all mankind that are on the earth shall die [he and his sons shall be saved]. 18. And now make known to your son Lamech that he who has been born is in truth his son, and call his name Noah; for he shall be left to you, and he and his sons shall be saved from the destruction, which shall come upon the earth on account of all the sin and all the unrighteousness, which shall be consummated on the earth in his days. 19. And after that there shall be still more unrighteousness than that which was first consummated on the earth; for I know the mysteries of the holy ones; for He, Yahweh, has showed me and informed me, and I have read (them) in the heavenly tablets.

​​ 5:30 ​​ And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:

​​ 5:31 ​​ And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.

​​ 5:32 ​​ And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Note: Strong's concordance has 3 numbers for the word awdawm (Adam). This is because Adam (man) is used as a noun, adjective, and a verb (or proper noun). The Adam, specific, singular. Adam the noun, describing the race, or people. Adam the adjective, meaning to be red or rosy, ruddy, fair. And Adam the verb, to blush or show blood in the face. H119,120,121.

Enoch LXXXVI. The Fall of the Angels and the Demoralization of Mankind.

[Chapter 86]

1 And again I saw with mine eyes as I slept, and I saw the heaven above, and behold a star fell 2 from heaven, and it arose and eat and pastured amongst those oxen. And after that I saw the large and the black oxen, and behold they all changed their stalls and pastures and their cattle, and began 3 to live with each other. And again I saw in the vision, and looked towards the heaven, and behold I saw many stars descend and cast themselves down from heaven to that first star, and they became 4 bulls amongst those cattle and pastured with them [amongst them]. And I looked at them and saw, and behold they all let out their privy members, like horses, and began to cover the cows of the oxen, 5 and they all became pregnant and bare elephants, camels, and asses. And all the oxen feared them and were affrighted at them, and began to bite with their teeth and to devour, and to gore with their 6 horns. And they began, moreover, to devour those oxen; and behold all the children of the earth began to tremble and quake before them and to flee from them.

LXXXVII. The Advent of the Seven Archangels.

[Chapter 87]

1 And again I saw how they began to gore each other and to devour each other, and the earth 2 began to cry aloud. And I raised mine eyes again to heaven, and I saw in the vision, and behold there came forth from heaven beings who were like white men: and four went forth from that place 3 and three with them. And those three that had last come forth grasped me by my hand and took me up, away from the generations of the earth, and raised me up to a lofty place, and showed me 4 a tower raised high above the earth, and all the hills were lower. And one said unto me: ' Remain here till you seest everything that befalls those elephants, camels, and asses, and the stars and the oxen, and all of them.'

LXXXVIII. The Punishment of the Fallen Angels by the Archangels.

[Chapter 88]

1 And I saw one of those four who had come forth first, and he seized that first star which had fallen from the heaven, and bound it hand and foot and cast it into an abyss: now that abyss was 2 narrow and deep, and horrible and dark. And one of them drew a sword, and gave it to those elephants and camels and asses: then they began to smite each other, and the whole earth quaked 3 because of them. And as I was beholding in the vision, lo, one of those four who had come forth stoned (them) from heaven, and gathered and took all the great stars whose privy members were like those of horses, and bound them all hand and foot, and cast them in an abyss of the earth.

2Peter 2:4 ​​ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

2:5 ​​ And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

LXXXIX. 1-9. The Deluge and the Deliverance of Noah.

[Chapter 89]

1 And one of those four went to that white bull and instructed him in a secret, without his being terrified: he was born a bull and became a man, and built for himself a great vessel and dwelt thereon; 2 and three bulls dwelt with him in that vessel and they were covered in. And again I raised mine eyes towards heaven and saw a lofty roof (sky, firmament), with seven water torrents thereon, and those torrents 3 flowed with much water into an enclosure. And I saw again, and behold fountains were opened on the surface of that great enclosure, and that water began to swell and rise upon the surface, 4 and I saw that enclosure till all its surface was covered with water. And the water, the darkness, and mist increased upon it; and as I looked at the height of that water, that water had risen above the height of that enclosure, and was streaming over that enclosure, and it stood upon the earth. 5 And all the cattle of that enclosure were gathered together until I saw how they sank and were 6 swallowed up and perished in that water. But that vessel floated on the water, while all the oxen and elephants and camels and asses sank to the bottom with all the animals, so that I could no longer see them, and they were not able to escape, (but) perished and sank into the depths. And again I saw in the vision till those water torrents were removed from that high roof, and the chasms 8 of the earth were leveled up and other abysses were opened. Then the water began to run down into these, till the earth became visible; but that vessel settled on the earth, and the darkness 9 retired and light appeared. But that white bull which had become a man came out of that vessel, and the three bulls with him, and one of those three was white like that bull, and one of them was red as blood, and one black: and that white bull departed from them.

The flood

Genesis 6:1 ​​ And it came to pass, when men (adamites) began to multiply on the face of the earth (ground), and daughters were born unto them,

​​ 6:2 ​​ That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Verse 2 should read 'sons of heaven...'

Sons of God comes from ben elohiym, the fallen angels.

Enoch 6:1-2, 7:1-2

6:1. And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. 2. And the angels, the children of heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: ‘Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children’.

7:1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells:

In Brenton’s edition of The Septuagint with Apocrypha, a footnote at Gen. 6:3 (which is 6:4 in the A.V.), is found at the phrase “sons of God” which says: “Alex. angels of God”, and so we see that the Alexandrine text of the Greek Old Testament, in this one place, agrees with the apocryphal literature. Brenton chose to base his Septuagint edition primarily upon the Vaticanus text.

​​ 6:3 ​​ And Yahweh said, My spirit shall not always strive (abide) with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Men in verses 1-3, and the first men in verse 4, is awdawm (H120/119).

Strive comes from diyn dun, meaning to rule, judge, also to strive (as at law). Abide. Yahweh's presence does not abide with sin.

The 120 years is a reference to when the flood (deluge) will occur. They had 120 years to repent and change their ways, or else. Jasher 5:8 and 11 in the references ahead clarify.

​​ 6:4 ​​ There were giants (Nephilim) in the earth (land) in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God (fallen angels) came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

The last part of verse 4 in the Hebrew reads: “...bare children by them, which were the powerful warriors of that time, men of authority.

The last 2 men that is used in verse 4 are from H376, iysh, properly a mortal (H582) (and thus differing from the more dignified H120); hence a man in general. The description of a man (mighty, worthy, great, husband, etc,)

Psalm 8:4 ​​ What is man (H582 enosh), that you art mindful of him? and the son of man (Adam H120), that you visitest him?

Adamites can be described as iysh and ethnos, but iysh and ethnos do not always refer to Adamites.

Numbers 13:33 ​​ And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Sirach 16:7 ​​ He was not pacified toward the old giants, who fell away in the strength of their foolishness.

Baruch 3:26 ​​ There were the giants famous from the beginning, that were of so great stature, and so expert in war.

The offspring of the fallen angels and the race of Adam results in halfbreeds and giants (for example, Goliath). Cain was a halfbreed.

Job 1:6 ​​ Now there was a day when the sons of God (fallen angels) came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan came also among them.

​​ 6:5 ​​ And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth (land), and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The race of Adam had become corrupted. Race mixed and disobedient.

The last part in the Hebrew reads: “...and all forms of the contrivances of his heart were evil every day.”

Contrivances can also mean devices, machinery, or inventions. When Christ said “as it was in the days of Noah”, and now we have cloning, genetically altered crops and livestock, etc.

​​ 6:6 ​​ And it repented Yahweh that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.

Yahweh did not repent, as if He messed up and didn't get it right. The word is nacham, and it means to sigh, be sorry (pity).

The Septuagint reads: 7 ​​ then God laid it to heart that He had made man upon the earth, and He pondered it deeply.

Hebrew: 7 And Yahweh was sorry that He had made adamkind on the land, and it pained Him in His heart.

​​ 6:7 ​​ And Yahweh said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Me that I have made them.

It makes Yahweh sigh, sorry (repenteth) that He created man. He is going to make a fresh start. He said He will destroy man, birds, beasts, etc. These were all altered by the fallen angels, verse 9 is witness.

3Maccabees 2:4 ​​ It was Thou who didst destroy the former workers of unrighteousness, among whom were the giants, who trusted in their strength and hardihood, by covering them with a measureless flood.

​​ 6:8 ​​ But Noah found grace in the eyes of Yahweh.

Grace is a highly misunderstood word. Although it does also mean mercy, it usually means favor. The kind of favor that comes from the results of obedience. The most important meaning of grace (favor) comes from the promise to Abraham, and will be demonstrated later on.

Jasher 5:6-12

6 And after the lapse of many years, in the four hundred and eightieth year of the life of Noah, when all those men, who followed Yahweh had died away from amongst the sons of Adam, and only Methuselah was then left, God said unto Noah and Methuselah, saying,

7 Speak ye, and proclaim to the sons of Adam, saying, Thus saith Yahweh, return from your evil ways and forsake your works, and Yahweh will repent of the harm that He declared to do to you, so that it shall not come to pass.

8 For thus saith Yahweh, Behold I give you a period of one hundred and twenty years; if you will turn to Me and forsake your evil ways, then will I also turn away from the harm which I told you, and it shall not exist, saith Yahweh.

9 And Noah and Methuselah spoke all the words of Yahweh to the sons of Adam, day after day, constantly speaking to them.

10 But the sons of Adam would not hearken to them, nor incline their ears to their words, and they were stiffnecked.

11 And Yahweh granted them a period of one hundred and twenty years, saying, If they will return, then will God repent of the harm, so as not to destroy the earth.

12 Noah the son of Lamech refrained from taking a wife in those days, to beget children, for he said, Surely now God will destroy the earth, wherefore then shall I beget children?

​​ 6:9 ​​ These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Here, man, H376 (iysh) is used because iysh has many meanings that describe a man. Here, that meaning would be worthy. Why? Because Noah was perfect in his posterity. A pure descendant of Adam and obeyed Yahweh. ​​ Perfect means: undefiled in his family lineage. Upright, undefiled, morally clean, integrity, sincere.

Sirach 44:17 ​​ Noah was found perfect and righteous; in the time of wrath he was taken in exchange for the world (evil society); therefore was he left as a remnant unto the earth (land), when the flood came.

18 ​​ An everlasting covenant was made with him, that all flesh should perish no more by the flood.

2Peter 2:5 ​​ And spared not the old world (society), but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world (society) of the ungodly;

Noah was the tenth from Adam, but Noah was the eight preacher of righteousness (Order of Melchisedek).

The lighter italicized letters in the KJV are added by the translators.

Jasher 5:13-18

13 And Noah was a just man, he was perfect in his generation, and Yahweh chose him to raise up seed from his seed upon the face of the earth.

14 And Yahweh said unto Noah, Take unto you a wife, and beget children, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation.

15 And you shalt raise up seed, and your children with you, in the midst of the earth; and Noah went and took a wife, and he chose Naamah the daughter of Enoch, and she was five hundred and eighty years old.

16 And Noah was four hundred and ninety-eight years old, when he took Naamah for a wife.

17 And Naamah conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Japheth, saying, God has enlarged me in the earth; and she conceived again and bare a son, and he called his name Shem, saying, God has made me a remnant, to raise up seed in the midst of the earth.

18 And Noah was five hundred and two years old when Naamah bare Shem, and the boys grew up and went in the ways of Yahweh, in all that Methuselah and Noah their father taught them.

​​ 6:10 ​​ And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

​​ 6:11 ​​ The earth (land) also was corrupt before God, and the earth (land) was filled with violence.

Earth is another misunderstood word. Erets means land. Cain left the land, not earth. Scripture is about the race of Adam and lands they live in.

Corrupt also means ruined, or destroyed.

​​ 6:12 ​​ And God looked upon the earth (land), and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth (land).

Way is derek, meaning road, course of life or mode of action. ​​ All flesh had corrupted/ruined Yahweh's course of life.

Septuagint: 12 ​​ But the earth (land) was corrupted before God, and the earth (land) was filled with iniquity.

Sounds like America today.

Jasher 5:21-25

21 And all the sons of Adam who knew Yahweh, died in that year before Yahweh brought harm upon them; for Yahweh willed them to die, so as not to behold the harm that God would bring upon their brothers and relatives, as He had so declared to do.

22 In that time, Yahweh said to Noah and Methuselah, Stand forth and proclaim to the sons of Adam all the words that I spoke to you in those days, peradventure they may turn from their evil ways, and I will then repent of the harm and will not bring it.

23 And Noah and Methuselah stood forth, and said in the ears of the sons of Adam, all that God had spoken concerning them.

24 But the sons of Adam would not hearken, neither would they incline their ears to all their declarations.

25 And it was after this that Yahweh said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me, on account of their evil deeds, and behold I will destroy the earth.

​​ 6:13 ​​ And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth (land) is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth (land).  ​​​​ 

All flesh, even the animals have been tampered with.

​​ 6:14 ​​ Make you an ark of gopher (cypress) wood; rooms (chambers) shalt you make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

Pitch is bitumen, asphalt, tar.

​​ 6:15 ​​ And this is the fashion which you shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits (450'), the breadth of it fifty cubits (75'), and the height of it thirty cubits (45').

​​ 6:16 ​​ A window shalt you make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt you finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt you set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt you make it.

​​ 6:17 ​​ And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters (deluge) upon the earth (land), to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth (land) shall die. ​​ 

Adam, the man was the first with the breath of life (DNA, Spirit). His direct descendants became so corrupt that Yahweh was going to start over with Noah, who was evidently righteous.

'Breath' in 2:7 is neshamah (H5397). Divine inspiration, intellect, soul, spirit.

'Breath' here in verse 17, is ruach (H7307). Breath, exhalation.

​​ 6:18 ​​ But with you will I establish My covenant (Noahic Covenant); and you shalt come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife (woman), and your sons' wives (women)with you.

​​ 6:19 ​​ And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt you bring into the ark, to keep (protect) them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

​​ 6:20 ​​ Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth (ground) after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto you, to keep (protect) them alive.

​​ 6:21 ​​ And take you unto you of all food that is eaten, and you shalt gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, and for them.

​​ 6:22 ​​ Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Hebrews 11:7 ​​ By faith (allegiance) Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world (society), and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith (allegiance).

Every animal of the land was brought into the ark. The idea that every animal on the earth was on the ark is incorrect.

Description of Noah's Ark, taken from an 1833 manuscript titled 'A Dissertation of the Antiquity, Origin, and Design of the Principle Pyramids of Egypt'.

Many conceptions of Noah's Ark have been published in the past. Having only the brief and misleading description given in the Genesis 6:14-15. The idea that the Ark was built in the form of a boat or for sailing is groundless. It was made to 'float about' as the Hebrew specifies, 'upon the face of the waters', as the waters carried it. This suggests something akin to a large raft or four sided vessel.

Joseph's coffin is called an 'ark'; the sacred chest of the Law is called an 'ark'; the money-chest for the Temple is called an 'ark'. In each instance, the Hebrew word is 'aron', translated 'ark'. The Hebrew word used for Noah's Ark is 'tebah'. It would seem that the translators of the KJV did not know the difference between the two Hebrew words for they transcribed 'ark' in both places, in Greek and Hebrew. Each instance, for ark, H8392 tebah, H727 aron, and G2787 kibotos, the common definition description is 'a box'.

The flood

Approximately 3145 BC

At that time, after the death of Methuselah...

Genesis 7:1 ​​ And Yahweh said unto Noah, Come you and all your house (family) into the ark; for you have I seen righteous (just) before Me in this generation (age).

Jasher 6:1-2

1 Behold I will gather to you all the animals of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and they shall all come and surround the ark.

2 And you shalt go and seat thyself by the doors of the ark, and all the beasts, the animals, and the fowls, shall assemble and place themselves before you, and such of them as shall come and crouch before you, shalt you take and deliver into the hands of your sons, who shall bring them to the ark, and all that will stand before you you shalt leave.

The next verse, 7:2, is establishing a precedent here. This precedes the laws of Leviticus.

These are the beasts that would eventually be judged clean for sacrifice. And for eating.

​​ 7:2 ​​ Of every clean (pure) beast you shalt take to you by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean (not pure) by two, the male and his female.

The unclean animals, horses, camels, donkeys, were used for labor.

Clean comes from tahor tahor, meaning pure (in a physical, chemical, ceremonial or moral sense).

​​ 7:3 ​​ Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth (land).

The Septuagint reads:

7:2 ​​ And of the clean cattle take in to you sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.

7:3 ​​ And of clean flying creatures of the sky sevens, male and female, and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, male and female, to maintain seed on all the earth.

Cattle is referring to livestock.

The clean animals for food, and later symbolic of sacrifices, were taken by pairs of sevens. The unclean animals not fit for food and sacrifice were taken in pairs, to preserve these species after the flood. The unclean animals are not only used for labor, but the scavengers clean up the earth of the dead and rotten, birds eat insects, etc. This is why unclean animals are never fit for consumption. You are what you eat.

​​ 7:4 ​​ For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth (land) forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth (land).

​​ 7:5 ​​ And Noah did according unto all that Yahweh commanded him.

Jasher 6:3-7

3 And Yahweh brought this about on the next day, and animals, beasts and fowls came in great multitudes and surrounded the ark.

4 And Noah went and seated himself by the door of the ark, and of all flesh that crouched before him, he brought into the ark, and all that stood before him he left upon earth.

5 And a lioness came, with her two whelps, male and female, and the three crouched before Noah, and the two whelps rose up against the lioness and smote her, and made her flee from her place, and she went away, and they returned to their places, and crouched upon the earth before Noah.

6 And the lioness ran away, and stood in the place of the lions.

7 And Noah saw this, and wondered greatly, and he rose and took the two whelps, and brought them into the ark.

8 And Noah brought into the ark from all living creatures that were upon the land, so that there was none left but which Noah brought into the ark.

9 Two and two came to Noah into the ark, but from the clean animals, and clean fowls, he brought seven couples, as God had commanded him.

​​ 7:6 ​​ And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth (land).

Flood should read deluge (H3999). Deluge means huge amounts of rain, aquifers broken open, descriptions of the cataclysmic outpouring of Yahweh's wrath. Remember, it had not rained on the land since Adam yet (Gen 2:5).

​​ 7:7 ​​ And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife (woman), and his sons' wives (women) with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood (deluge).

Matthew 24:38-39

38 ​​ For as in the days that were before the flood (deluge) they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

39 ​​ And knew not until the flood (deluge) came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

​​ 7:8 ​​ Of clean (pure) beasts, and of beasts that are not clean (pure), and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth (land),

​​ 7:9 ​​ There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

​​ 7:10 ​​ And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood (deluge) were upon the earth (land).

​​ 7:11 ​​ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven (the sky) were opened.

The Hebrew is more descriptive: “...the same day all the fountains of the abundant subterranean water supply were broken open, and sluices of the sky were opened.”

​​ 7:12 ​​ And the rain was upon the earth (land) forty days and forty nights.

​​ 7:13 ​​ In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife (woman), and the three wives (women) of his sons with them, into the ark;

Naamah was the name of Noah's wife.

​​ 7:14 ​​ They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth (ground) after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

​​ 7:15 ​​ And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

​​ 7:16 ​​ And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and Yahweh shut him in.

Josephus 3:2 Now this ark had firm walls, and a roof, and was braced with cross beams, so that it could not be any way drowned or overborne by the violence of the water.

And thus was Noah, with his family, preserved.

Jasher 6:10-25

10 And all the animals, and beasts, and fowls, were still there, and they surrounded the ark at every place, and the rain had not descended till seven days after.

11 And on that day, Yahweh caused the whole land to shake, and the sun darkened, and the foundations of in the land raged, and the whole land was moved violently, and the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared, and all the fountains in the earth were broken up, such as was not known to the inhabitants before; and God did this mighty act, in order to terrify the sons of Adam, that there might be no more evil upon the land.

12 And still the sons of Adam would not return from their evil ways, and they increased the anger of Yahweh at that time, and did not even direct their hearts to all this.

13 And at the end of seven days, in the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, the waters of the flood were upon the land.

14 And all the fountains of the deep were broken up, and the windows of the sky were opened, and the rain was upon the land forty days and forty nights.

15 And Noah and his household, and all the living creatures that were with him, came into the ark on account of the waters of the flood, and Yahweh shut him in.

16 And all the sons of Adam that were left upon the land, became exhausted through evil on account of the rain, for the waters were coming more violently upon the land, and the animals and beasts were still surrounding the ark.

17 And the sons of Adam assembled together, about seven hundred thousand men and women, and they came unto Noah to the ark.

18 And they called to Noah, saying, Open for us that we may come to you in the ark--and wherefore shall we die?

19 And Noah, with a loud voice, answered them from the ark, saying, Have you not all rebelled against Yahweh, and said that He does not exist? and therefore Yahweh brought upon you this harm, to destroy and cut you off from the face of the land.

20 Is not this the thing that I spoke to you of one hundred and twenty years back, and you would not hearken to the voice of Yahweh, and now do you desire to live upon the land?

21 And they said to Noah, We are ready to return to Yahweh; only open for us that we may live and not die.

22 And Noah answered them, saying, Behold now that you see the trouble of your souls, you wish to return to Yahweh; why did you not return during these hundred and twenty years, which Yahweh granted you as the determined period?

23 But now you come and tell me this on account of the troubles of your souls, now also Yahweh will not listen to you, neither will He give ear to you on this day, so that you will not now succeed in your wishes.

24 And the sons of Adam approached in order to break into the ark, to come in on account of the rain, for they could not bear the rain upon them.

25 And Yahweh sent all the beasts and animals that stood round the ark. And the beasts overpowered them and drove them from that place, and every man went his way and they again scattered themselves upon the face of the land.

26 And the rain was still descending upon the land, and it descended forty days and forty nights, and the waters prevailed greatly upon the land; and all flesh that was upon the land or in the waters died, whether men, animals, beasts, creeping things or birds of the air, and there only remained Noah and those that were with him in the ark.

​​ 7:17 ​​ And the flood was forty days upon the earth (land); and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth (land).

​​ 7:18 ​​ And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth (land); and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

Jashar 6:28 And the ark floated upon the face of the waters, and it was tossed upon the waters so that all the living creatures within were turned about like pottage in a cauldron.

29 And great anxiety seized all the living creatures that were in the ark, and the ark was like to be broken.

​​ 7:19 ​​ And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth (land); and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven (sky), were covered.

The word is mehode, meaning vehemently. This deluge was a purge with wrath.

​​ 7:20 ​​ Fifteen cubits (22' ½ ) upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains (hills) were covered.

This would not be enough to cover the earth, but it would fill up the Tarim Basin, and cover the hills in it.

Jasher 6:30-33

30 And all the living creatures that were in the ark were terrified, and the lions roared, and the oxen lowed, and the wolves howled, and every living creature in the ark spoke and lamented in its own language, so that their voices reached to a great distance, and Noah and his sons cried and wept in their troubles; they were greatly afraid that they had reached the gates of death.

31 And Noah prayed unto Yahweh, and cried unto Him on account of this, and he said, O Yahweh help us, for we have no strength to bear this evil that has encompassed us, for the waves of the waters have surrounded us, mischievous torrents have terrified us, the snares of death have come before us; answer us, O Yahweh, answer us, light up Thy countenance toward us and be gracious to us, redeem us and deliver us.

32 And Yahweh hearkened to the voice of Noah, and Yahweh remembered him.

33 And a wind passed over the land, and the waters were still and the ark rested.

​​ 7:21 ​​ And all flesh died that moved upon the earth (land), both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

Man is H120 awdawm. All the corrupted Adamites in the land.

​​ 7:22 ​​ All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

Breath of life in verse 15 is different than here in verse 21.

Verse 15 is H7307, ruach. Verse 22 has ruach as well as neshamah, divine inspiration, intellect.

This shows that the creation that Yahweh made, being the animals and now corrupted Adamites with ruach, were destroyed as well as the children of Cain and the Nephilim giants with neshamah. A great purging, and only Noah and his family were preserved.

​​ 7:23 ​​ And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth (land): and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

​​ 7:24 ​​ And the waters prevailed upon the earth (land) an hundred and fifty days.

The flood was NOT worldwide. It was regional. If it were worldwide, one would have to question: What about the mixing of salt and fresh water? Salt water fish and fresh water fish? Mount Everest is over 6 miles high, the earth was covered 6 ​​ miles deep with water? All plant life would have died.

NOAH’S FLOOD WAS NOT WORLD WIDE

More proof the flood was not worldwide:

From (http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/localflood.html)

Psalm 104:8 ​​ They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which you hast founded for them.

Psalm 104:9 ​​ Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

The flood waters subsides

Genesis 8:1 ​​ And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth (land), and the waters asswaged;

​​ 8:2 ​​ The fountains also of the deep (subterranean water source) and the windows of heaven (sluices of the sky) were stopped (shut), and the rain from heaven (the sky) was restrained;

​​ 8:3 ​​ And the waters returned from off the earth (land) continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

​​ 8:4 ​​ And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains (range of hills) of Ararat.

Ararat means Armenia (H780). A mountain range in Armenia.

Jasher 6:36 And Noah then opened the windows of the ark, and Noah still called out to Yahweh at that time and he said, O Yahweh, who didst form the land and the skies and all that are therein, bring forth our souls from this confinement, and from the prison wherein You hast placed us, for I am much wearied with sighing.

37 And Yahweh hearkened to the voice of Noah, and said to him, When though shalt have completed a full year you shalt then go forth.

​​ 8:5 ​​ And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains (hills) seen.

​​ 8:6 ​​ And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

Jasher 6:38 And at the revolution of the year, when a full year was completed to Noah's dwelling in the ark, the waters were dried from off the land, and Noah put off the covering of the ark.

​​ 8:7 ​​ And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth (land).

​​ 8:8 ​​ Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

​​ 8:9 ​​ But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth (land): then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

​​ 8:10 ​​ And he stayed (anxiously awaited) yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

​​ 8:11 ​​ And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth (land).

If there were a world wide flood, their would be no olive leafs available.

​​ 8:12 ​​ And he stayed (anxiously awaited) yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

​​ 8:13 ​​ And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth (land): and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

Jasher 6:38 And at the revolution of the year, when a full year was completed to Noah's dwelling in the ark, the waters were dried from off the land, and Noah put off the covering of the ark.

​​ 8:14 ​​ And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth (land) dried.

Jasher 6:39 At that time, on the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the land was dry, but Noah and his sons, and those that were with him, did not go out from the ark until Yahweh told them.

40 And the day came that Yahweh told them to go out, and they all went out from the ark.

​​ 8:15 ​​ And God spake unto Noah, saying,

​​ 8:16 ​​ Go forth of the ark, you, and your wife (woman), and your sons, and your sons' wives (women) with you.

​​ 8:17 ​​ Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth (ground); that they may breed abundantly in the earth (land), and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth (land).

​​ 8:18 ​​ And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife (woman), and his sons' wives (women) with him:

​​ 8:19 ​​ Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth (ground), after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.

Note: Noah did not go out and catch or gather the animals into the ark. Yahweh called them to Noah, just as Yahweh chooses who comes to Him.

​​ 8:20 ​​ And Noah builded an altar unto Yahweh; and took of every clean (pure) beast, and of every clean (pure) fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

Noah took of the clean animals and offered them on the altar to Yahweh. ​​ 

​​ 8:21 ​​ And Yahweh smelled a sweet savour; and Yahweh said in His heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

​​ 8:22 ​​ While the earth (land) remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

The covenant with Noah

Genesis 9:1 ​​ And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth (land).

​​ 9:2 ​​ And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast (living creature) of the earth (land), and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth (land), and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

​​ 9:3 ​​ Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

​​ 9:4 ​​ But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.  ​​​​ (Lev 7:26-27, 17:10-14, 19:26 ​​ Deut 12:16,23, 15:23)

​​ 9:5 ​​ And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast (living creature) will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

​​ 9:6 ​​ Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

Speaking about all of the race of Adam. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, Adamite for Adamite.

Exodus 20:13 ​​ Thou shalt not kill (murder).

​​ 9:7 ​​ And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth (land), and multiply therein.

​​ 9:8 ​​ And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

​​ 9:9 ​​ And I, behold, I establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

​​ 9:10 ​​ And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast (living creature) of the earth (land) with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast (living creature) of the earth (land).

​​ 9:11 ​​ And I will establish My covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood (deluge); neither shall there any more be a flood (deluge) to destroy the earth (land).

​​ 9:12 ​​ And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations (ages):

​​ 9:13 ​​ I do set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth (land).

Revelation 4:3 ​​ And He that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

​​ 9:14 ​​ And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth (land), that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

Hint of Christ? Clouds often are metaphors for groups of people, divine beings. Christ returns with His hosts.

​​ 9:15 ​​ And I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood (deluge) to destroy all flesh.

The next time He will destroy with fire.

​​ 9:16 ​​ And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth (land).

​​ 9:17 ​​ And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth (land).

​​ 9:18 ​​ And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

​​ 9:19 ​​ These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth (land) overspread.

​​ 9:20 ​​ And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

Noah was a man of the soil. A gardener, cultivator, farmer.

Husbandman comes from iysh (H376). Husband is one of many definitions for man.

​​ 9:21 ​​ And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

​​ 9:22 ​​ And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

Nakedness has a lewd implication to it.

Leviticus 18:6 ​​ None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yahweh.

7 ​​ The nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, shalt you not uncover: she is your mother; you shalt not uncover her nakedness.

Nakedness is H6172 usually meaning pudenda, which is used for the female pudenda.

The nakedness of Noah was his wife.

​​ 9:23 ​​ And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

It is evident that Ham laid with his mother. Shem and Japheth covered her with a garment.

​​ 9:24 ​​ And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

​​ 9:25 ​​ And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

Ham was not cursed. His son Canaan was cursed, and Canaan's seed. Canaan and his descendants were products of incest. These later mixed with Cain's descendants.

​​ 9:26 ​​ And he said, Blessed be Yahweh God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

​​ 9:27 ​​ God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents (habitations) of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

​​ 9:28 ​​ And Noah lived after the flood (deluge) three hundred and fifty years.

​​ 9:29 ​​ And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

Descendants of Noah

These are the known as the Genesis 10 Nations. These went on to settle many areas. These were all descendants of Adam spreading throughout the land. The migration of the white race.

Genesis 10:1 ​​ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood (deluge).

​​ 10:2 ​​ The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

Most of these migrated North and West, the steppes of Russia and Mongolia, some went East.

Gomer is Armenia.

Magog settled Georgia, inhabited the steppes of Russia.

Madai settled NW of Persia.

Javan were the Ionian Greeks, coasts of Mediterranean, Spain, Portugal.

Tubal settles in Asia Minor, Bulgarians, Albanians, Hungarians, Romanians.

Meshech is Moscow, N Turkey, Poles, Czechoslovakians, Slavics.

Tiras were the Thracians, Etruscans (predecessors of the Romans).

Jasher 10:6 And the sons of Japheth the son of Noah went and built themselves cities in the places where they were scattered, and they called all their cities after their names, and the sons of Japheth were divided upon the face of the earth into many divisions and languages.

​​ 10:3 ​​ And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

Ashkenaz also settles Armenia, Denmark, Scandinavia, Germany. Many Jews have Japheth blood, as well as Hittite, Mongol and Negro. Jews are the most race mixed people on earth.

Riphath was Czechoslovakia, Romania, Turkey.

Togarmah also Armenia, Turks.

​​ 10:4 ​​ And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

Elishah is also Greece.

Tarshish is Spain.

Kittim is Cyprus, Mediterranean isles, Macedonia.

Jasher 10:8-18

8 And the children of Gomer, according to their cities, were the Francum, who dwell in the land of Franza, by the river Franza, by the river Senah.

9 And the children of Rephath are the Bartonim, who dwell in the land of Bartonia by the river Ledah, which empties its waters in the great sea Gihon, that is, oceanus.

10 And the children of Tugarma are ten families, and these are their names: Buzar, Parzunac, Balgar, Elicanum, Ragbib, Tarki, Bid, Zebuc, Ongal and Tilmaz; all these spread and rested in the north and built themselves cities.

11 And they called their cities after their own names, those are they who abide by the rivers Hithlah and Italac unto this day.

12 But the families of Angoli, Balgar and Parzunac, they dwell by the great river Dubnee; and the names of their cities are also according to their own names.

13 And the children of Javan (Greece) are the Javanim who dwell in the land of Makdonia, and the children of Medaiare are the Orelum that dwell in the land of Curson, and the children of Tubal are those that dwell in the land of Tuskanah by the river Pashiah.

14 And the children of Meshech are the Shibashni and the children of Tiras are Rushash, Cushni, and Ongolis; all these went and built themselves cities; those are the cities that are situate by the sea Jabus by the river Cura, which empties itself in the river Tragan.

15 And the children of Elishah are the Almanim, and they also went and built themselves cities; those are the cities situate between the mountains of Job and Shibathmo; and of them were the people of Lumbardi (Lombards) who dwell opposite the mountains of Job and Shibathmo, and they conquered the land of Italia (Italy) and remained there unto this day.

16 And the children of Chittim are the Romim who dwell in the valley of Canopia by the river Tibreu.

17 And the children of Dudonim are those who dwell in the cities of the sea Gihon, in the land of Bordna.

18 These are the families of the children of Japheth according to their cities and languages, when they were scattered after the tower, and they called their cities after their names and occurrences; and these are the names of all their cities according to their families, which they built in those days after the tower.

​​ 10:5 ​​ By these were the isles of the Gentiles (nations) divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

Gentiles is one of the top 3 misunderstood and incorrect words in scripture. Gentiles comes from goy (H1471) in the Hebrew and ethnos (G1484) in the Greek. It is a Latin word that means a race, a nation, or a people. That is it. It does NOT mean non-Israelite. This meaning was added later on by the scribes and enemies of Yahweh's people. With this deception, true Israel (the race of Adam, white man) is taught that we are not Israelites and that the Jews are. This lie has deceived the world, just as Christ warned. We are true Israel and the Jews are the descendants of Cain and Esau and their father is the Devil. The inaccuracy of the word Gentiles will be exposed throughout study of the scriptures.

Genesis 10:5 ​​ By these were the isles of the Nations divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

The lower case nations is also G1471. So should this read “...in their gentiles.”? No, because G1471 means a nation, race, or people. That is it.

Psalm 72:10 ​​ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

Jeremiah 2:10 ​​ For pass over the isles of Chittim (Kittim), and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.

​​ 10:6 ​​ And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

Ham was the Egyptians. The original Egyptians were white.

Cush settled Arabia. There were also 2 places called Cush. The Arabian Cush (Ethiopia) and the African Cush. The original Arabs were white, as well as Ethiopia.

Arab means to to mix, grow dark, which they did after 600 BC through race mixing with Blacks.

Ethiopian means sun burnt face.

Cush is translated Ethiopia in the KJV in later passages. Moses married a woman of Cush (Ethiopia) in Numbers 12:1. The “churches” teach that Moses married a black woman. This falsehood is used to push miscegenation (race mixing) in direct opposition to all the examples demanding racial purity and separation in the scriptures.

Mizraim is Egypt.

Phut also settled Egypt, Ethiopia and North Africa.

Canaan settled in South Mediterranean basin and Egypt.

​​ 10:7 ​​ And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

Seba settled West Central of Arabian Peninsula.

Havilah settled Eastern Central of North Arabia, Kuwait.

Sabtecha settled Eastern Central of South Arabia.

Sheba remember the Queen of Sheba, from Solomon

​​ 10:8 ​​ And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth (land).

​​ 10:9 ​​ He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before Yahweh.

The Septuagint has: “...Nimrod the giant hunter...”.

Jasher 7:23-30

23 And Cush the son of Ham, the son of Noah, took a wife in those days in his old age, and she bare a son, and they called his name Nimrod, saying, At that time the sons of Adam again began to rebel and transgress against God, and the child grew up, and his father loved him exceedingly, for he was the son of his old age.
24 And the garments of skin which God made for Adam and his wife, when they went out of the garden, were given to Cush.
25 For after the death of Adam and his wife, the garments were given to Enoch, the son of Jared, and when Enoch was taken up to God, he gave them to Methuselah, his son.
26 And at the death of Methuselah, Noah took them and brought them to the ark, and they were with him until he went out of the ark.
27 And in their going out, Ham stole those garments from Noah his father, and he took them and hid them from his brothers.
28 And when Ham begat his first born Cush, he gave him the garments in secret, and they were with Cush many days.
29 And Cush also concealed them from his sons and brothers, and when Cush had begotten Nimrod, he gave him those garments through his love for him, and Nimrod grew up, and when he was twenty years old he put on those garments.
30 And Nimrod became strong when he put on the garments, and God gave him might and strength, and he was a mighty hunter in the earth, yea, he was a mighty hunter in the field, and he hunted the animals and he built altars, and he offered upon them the animals before Yahweh.

​​ 10:10 ​​ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

​​ 10:11 ​​ Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

The Assyrians are of Asshur.

​​ 10:12 ​​ And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

Jasher 7:31 And Nimrod strengthened himself, and he rose up from amongst his brethren, and he fought the battles of his brethren against all their enemies round about.

32 And Yahweh delivered all the enemies of his brethren in his hands, and God prospered him from time to time in his battles, and he reigned upon the land.

33 Therefore it became current in those days, when a man ushered forth those that he had trained up for battle, he would say to them, Like God did to Nimrod, who was a mighty hunter in the land, and who succeeded in the battles that prevailed against his brethren, that he delivered them from the hands of their enemies, so may God strengthen us and deliver us this day.

34 And when Nimrod was forty years old, at that time there was a war between his brethren and the children of Japheth, so that they were in the power of their enemies.

35 And Nimrod went forth at that time, and he assembled all the sons of Cush and their families, about four hundred and sixty men, and he hired also from some of his friends and acquaintances about eighty men, and be gave them their hire, and he went with them to battle, and when he was on the road, Nimrod strengthened the hearts of the people that went with him.

36 And he said to them, Do not fear, neither be alarmed, for all our enemies will be delivered into our hands, and you may do with them as you please.

37 And all the men that went were about five hundred, and they fought against their enemies, and they destroyed them, and subdued them, and Nimrod placed standing officers over them in their respective places.

38 And he took some of their children as security, and they were all servants to Nimrod and to his brethren, and Nimrod and all the people that were with him turned homeward.

39 And when Nimrod had joyfully returned from battle, after having conquered his enemies, all his brethren, together with those who knew him before, assembled to make him king over them, and they placed the regal crown upon his head.

40 And he set over his subjects and people, princes, judges, and rulers, as is the custom amongst kings.

41 And he placed Terah the son of Nahor the prince of his host, and he dignified him and elevated him above all his princes.

42 And whilst he was reigning according to his heart's desire, after having conquered all his enemies around, he advised with his counselors to build a city for his palace, and they did so.

43 And they found a large valley opposite to the east, and they built him a large and extensive city, and Nimrod called the name of the city that he built Shinar, for Yahweh had vehemently shaken his enemies and destroyed them.

44 And Nimrod dwelt in Shinar, and he reigned securely, and he fought with his enemies and he subdued them, and he prospered in all his battles, and his kingdom became very great.

45 And all nations and tongues heard of his fame, and they gathered themselves to him, and they bowed down to the ground, and they brought him offerings, and he became their lord and king, and they all dwelt with him in the city at Shinar, and Nimrod reigned in the land over all the sons of Noah, and they were all under his power and counsel.

46 And all the land was of one tongue and words of union, but Nimrod did not go in the ways of Yahweh, and he was more wicked than all the men that were before him, from the days of the flood until those days.

47 And he made gods of wood and stone, and he bowed down to them, and he rebelled against Yahweh, and taught all his subjects and the people of the land his wicked ways; and Mardon his son was more wicked than his father.

48 And every one that heard of the acts of Mardon the son of Nimrod would say, concerning him, From the wicked goeth forth wickedness; therefore it became a proverb in the whole land, saying, From the wicked goeth forth wickedness, and it was current in the words of men from that time to this.

​​ 10:13 ​​ And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

​​ 10:14 ​​ And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

The Philistines were Hamites that race mixed Canaanites by the time of Samson and David.

​​ 10:15 ​​ And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,

Heth became the father of the Hittites, who are Canaanites, and who Esau married into. Esau is the father of the Edomite Jews.

Sidon worshiped the fish god Dagon.

​​ 10:16 ​​ And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

Jebus was the original name of Jerusalem.

​​ 10:17 ​​ And the Hivite (Horite), and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

​​ 10:18 ​​ And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

All these nations spread out all over the land, and they were all pagan.

​​ 10:19 ​​ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as you goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

​​ 10:20 ​​ These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

Nations here is the same as Gentiles (H1471). If the bible is about the Jews, how can they be Gentiles also? Because the word only means a people, a race, or a nation.

Jasher 10:20-29

20 All these went and built themselves cities as they found fit places for them, and they called their cities after the names of their fathers Cush, Mitzraim, Phut and Canaan.

21 And the children of Mitzraim (Egypt) are the Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuchim, Pathrusim, Casluchim and Caphturim, seven families.

22 All these dwell by the river Sihor, that is the brook of Egypt, and they built themselves cities and called them after their own names.

23 And the children of Pathros and Casloch intermarried together, and from them went forth the Pelishtim, the Azathim, and the Gerarim, the Githim and the Ekronim, in all five families; these also built themselves cities, and they called their cities after the names of their fathers unto this day.

24 And the children of Canaan also built themselves cities, and they called their cities after their names, eleven cities and others without number.

25 And four men from the family of Ham went to the land of the plain; these are the names of the four men, Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim.

26 And these men built themselves four cities in the land of the plain, and they called the names of their cities after their own names.

27 And they and their children and all belonging to them dwelt in those cities, and they were fruitful and multiplied greatly and dwelt peaceably.

28 And Seir the son of Hur, son of Hivi, son of Canaan, went and found a valley opposite to Mount Paran, and he built a city there, and he and his seven sons and his household dwelt there, and he called the city which he built Seir, according to his name; that is the land of Seir unto this day.

29 These are the families of the children of Ham, according to their languages and cities, when they were scattered to their countries after the tower.

​​ 10:21 ​​ Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.

We are of Shem.

Eber was the father of the Hebrews.

From Adam to Noah, Shem now is the chosen line of Yahweh. This will follow through to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacob's 12 sons. Then from Judah comes David and most importantly Christ.

Shem is where we get the word Semite from. The Jews are NOT Semites. But they have created a false understanding with this word. A Semite is a white person, as was the race of Adam.

The Jews are a mixed race from Cain and Esau, Hittites, Mongols (oriental), and Arabs (blacks).

​​ 10:22 ​​ The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

Elam

Asshur is the father of the Assyrians.

Arphaxad is the progenitor of the Chaldeans.

Lud are the Lydians (western Asia Minor).

Aram was the founder of the Aramaeans, and the Syrians.

​​ 10:23 ​​ And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

Hul settled north of the Sea of Galilee.

Gether settled south of Damascus. Josephus identifies them as the latter day Bactrians.

Mash were the Indo-Europeans.

​​ 10:24 ​​ And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.

Eber was the father of the Hebrews.

​​ 10:25 ​​ And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth (land) divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

Joktan was the progentitor of at least 13 southern Arabian tribes. These were white.

​​ 10:26 ​​ And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph (Yemen), and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

​​ 10:27 ​​ And Hadoram, and Uzal (Yemen), and Diklah (north of Persian Gulf),

​​ 10:28 ​​ And Obal (Yemen), and Abimael, and Sheba,

​​ 10:29 ​​ And Ophir (Yemen), and Havilah, and Jobab (close to Mecca): all these were the sons of Joktan.

Jobab is Job.

Ophir is where Solomon got his gold. Ophir is a gold region in the east.

​​ 10:30 ​​ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

​​ 10:31 ​​ These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

Again, nations, H1471, not Gentiles.

Jasher 10:30-39

30 And some of the children of Shem son of Noah, father of all the children of Eber, also went and built themselves cities in the places wherein they were scattered, and they called their cities after their names.

31 And the sons of Shem were Elam, Ashur (Assyrians), Arpachshad, Lud and Aram (Aramaeans), and they built themselves cities and called the names of all their cities after their names.

32 And Ashur son of Shem and his children and household went forth at that time, a very large body of them, and they went to a distant land that they found, and they met with a very extensive valley in the land that they went to, and they built themselves four cities, and they called them after their own names and occurrences.

33 And these are the names of the cities which the children of Ashur built, Ninevah, Resen, Calach and Rehobother; and the children of Ashur dwell there unto this day.

34 And the children of Aram also went and built themselves a city, and they called the name of the city Uz after their eldest brother, and they dwell therein; that is the land of Uz to this day.

35 And in the second year after the tower a man from the house of Ashur, whose name was Bela, went from the land of Ninevah to sojourn with his household wherever he could find a place; and they came until opposite the cities of the plain against Sodom, and they dwelt there.

36 And the man rose up and built there a small city, and called its name Bela, after his name; that is the land of Zoar unto this day.

37 And these are the families of the children of Shem according to their language and cities, after they were scattered upon the land after the tower.

38 And every kingdom, city, and family of the families of the children of Noah built themselves many cities after this.

39 And they established governments in all their cities, in order to be regulated by their orders; so did all the families of the children of Noah forever.

​​ 10:32 ​​ These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth (land) after the flood (deluge).

The Hebrew: 32 ​​ These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their family history, in their nations: and by these were the nations separated for trade in the land after the deluge.

Again, nations (H1471) is used twice. According to “churchianity” and the Jews, this should read as: These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their Gentiles: and by these were the Gentiles divided in the earth after the flood.

Inaccurate, makes no sense, and contradicts their false definition.

The families of Noah were divided in the land, they had different culture, natural resources used for manufacturing, etc. and this allowed for trade among the families.

The tower of Babel

Genesis 11:1 ​​ And the whole earth (land) was of one language, and of one speech.

Speech also means a singular way of thought, a single minded purpose.

The context is the land, not the whole earth.

​​ 11:2 ​​ And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

Jasher 9:20-21

20 And king Nimrod reigned securely, and all the land was under his control, and all the land was of one tongue and words of union

21 And all the princes of Nimrod and his great men took counsel together; Phut, Mitzraim, Cush and Canaan with their families, and they said to each other, Come let us build ourselves a city and in it a strong tower, and its top reaching heaven, and we will make ourselves famed, so that we may reign upon the whole world, in order that the evil of our enemies may cease from us, that we may reign mightily over them, and that we may not become scattered over the land on account of their wars.

​​ 11:3 ​​ And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime (bitumin, tar) had they for morter.

Burning pitch and burning sulfer is called burning brimstone. Fire and Brimstone!

​​ 11:4 ​​ And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven (the sky); and let us make us a name (for ourselves), lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth (land).

Jasher 9:22-26,28-31

22 And they all went before the king, and they told the king these words, and the king agreed with them in this affair, and he did so.
23 And all the families assembled consisting of about six hundred thousand men, and they went to seek an extensive piece of ground to build the city and the tower, and they sought in the whole land and they found none like one valley at the east of the land of Shinar, about two days' walk, and they journeyed there and they dwelt there.
24 And they began to make bricks and burn fires to build the city and the tower that they had imagined to complete.
25 And the building of the tower was unto them a transgression and a sin, and they began to build it, and whilst they were building against Yahweh God of the sky, they imagined in their hearts to war against Him and to ascend into the sky.
26 And all these people and all the families divided themselves in three parts; the first said We will ascend into the sky and fight against Him; the second said, We will ascend to the sky and place our own gods there and serve them; and the third part said, We will ascend to the sky and smite Him with bows and spears; and God knew all their works and all their evil thoughts, and He saw the city and the tower which they were building.

28 And behold these ascended and others descended the whole day; and if a brick should fall from their hands and get broken, they would all weep over it, and if a man fell and died, none of them would look at him.
29 And Yahweh knew their thoughts, and it came to pass when they were building they cast the arrows toward the skies, and all the arrows fell upon them filled with blood, and when they saw them they said to each other, Surely we have slain all those that are in the sky.
30 For this was from Yahweh in order to cause them to err, and in order; to destroy them from off the face of the ground.
31 And they built the tower and the city, and they did this thing daily until many days and years were elapsed.

Jubilees 10:21 And they built it: forty and three years were they building it; its breadth was 203 bricks, and the height (of a brick) was the third of one; its height amounted to 5433 cubits and 2 palms, and (the extent of one wall was) thirteen stades (and of the other thirty stades).

​​ 11:5 ​​ And Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

The sons of Adam.

​​ 11:6 ​​ And Yahweh said, Behold, the people is one (of one purpose), and they have all one language; and this (profane thing) they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined (made evil plans) to do.

​​ 11:7 ​​ Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

Go down should be descend to bring down, which is much more emphatic.

Jasher 9:32-34

32 And God said to the seventy messengers who stood foremost before Him, to those who were near to Him, saying, Come let us descend and confuse their tongues, that one man shall not understand the language of his neighbor, and they did so unto them.
33 And from that day following, they forgot each man his neighbor's tongue, and they could not understand to speak in one tongue, and when the builder took from the hands of his neighbor lime or stone which he did not order, the builder would cast it away and throw it upon his neighbor, that he would die.
34 And they did so many days, and they killed many of them in this manner.

​​ 11:8 ​​ So Yahweh scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth (land): and they left off to build (stopped building) the city.

Luke 1:51 ​​ He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

​​ 11:9 ​​ Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because Yahweh did there confound the language of all the earth (land): and from thence did Yahweh scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth (land).

Confound is H1101 meaning, mix and confuse. To throw into disorder. Babel H894 means confused.

Babel is not Babylon.

Jasher 9:38-39

38 And as to the tower which the sons of Adam built, the ground opened its mouth and swallowed up one third part thereof, and a fire also descended from the sky and burned another third, and the other third is left to this day, and it is of that part which was aloft, and its circumference is three days' walk.
39 And many of the sons of Adam died in that tower, a people without number.

​​ 11:10 ​​ These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood (deluge):

​​ 11:11 ​​ And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. ​​ (1Chr 1:24-27)

​​ 11:12 ​​ And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:

​​ 11:13 ​​ And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

​​ 11:14 ​​ And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:

​​ 11:15 ​​ And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

​​ 11:16 ​​ And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:

​​ 11:17 ​​ And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

​​ 11:18 ​​ And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:

​​ 11:19 ​​ And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

Jasher 10:2-6

2 And when Yahweh had scattered the sons of Adam on account of their sin at the tower, behold they spread forth into many divisions, and all the sons of Adam were dispersed into the four corners of the land.

3 And all the families became each according to its language, its land, or its city.

4 And the sons of Adam built many cities according to their families, in all the places where they went, and throughout the land where Yahweh had scattered them.

5 And some of them built cities in places from which they were afterward extirpated, and they called these cities after their own names, or the names of their children, or after their particular occurrences.

6 And the sons of Japheth the son of Noah went and built themselves cities in the places where they were scattered, and they called all their cities after their names, and the sons of Japheth were divided upon the face of the land into many divisions and languages.

​​ 11:20 ​​ And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:

​​ 11:21 ​​ And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

​​ 11:22 ​​ And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:

​​ 11:23 ​​ And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

​​ 11:24 ​​ And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:

​​ 11:25 ​​ And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

Jasher 7:49 And Terah the son of Nahor, prince of Nimrod's host, was in those days very great in the sight of the king and his subjects, and the king and princes loved him, and they elevated him very high.

50 And Terah took a wife and her name was Amthelo the daughter of Cornebo; and the wife of Terah conceived and bare him a son in those days.

51 Terah was seventy years old when he begat him, and Terah called the name of his son that was born to him Abram, because the king had raised him in those days, and dignified him above all his princes that were with him.

​​ 11:26 ​​ And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor (named after his grandfather), and Haran.

Jasher 8:1-36

1 And it was in the night that Abram was born, that all the servants of Terah, and all the wise men of Nimrod, and his conjurors came and ate and drank in the house of Terah, and they rejoiced with him on that night.

2 And when all the wise men and conjurors went out from the house of Terah, they lifted up their eyes toward the sky that night to look at the stars, and they saw, and behold one very large star came from the east and ran in the skies, and he swallowed up the four stars from the four sides of the skies.

3 And all the wise men of the king and his conjurors were astonished at the sight, and the sages understood this matter, and they knew its import.

4 And they said to each other, This only betokens the child that has been born to Terah this night, who will grow up and be fruitful, and multiply, and possess all the land, he and his children for ever, and he and his seed will slay great kings, and inherit their lands.

5 And the wise men and conjurors went home that night, and in the morning all these wise men and conjurors rose up early, and assembled in an appointed house.

6 And they spoke and said to each other, Behold the sight that we saw last night is hidden from the king, it has not been made known to him.

7 And should this thing get known to the king in the latter days, he will say to us, Why have you concealed this matter from me, and then we shall all suffer death; therefore, now let us go and tell the king the sight which we saw, and the interpretation thereof, and we shall then remain clear.

8 And they did so, and they all went to the king and bowed down to him to the ground, and they said, May the king live, may the king live.

9 We heard that a son was born to Terah the son of Nahor, the prince of your host, and we yesternight came to his house, and we ate and drank and rejoiced with him that night.

10 And when your servants went out from the house of Terah, to go to our respective homes to abide there for the night, we lifted up our eyes to the sky, and we saw a great star coming from the east, and the same star ran with great speed, and swallowed up four great stars, from the four sides of the skies.

11 And your servants were astonished at the sight which we saw, and were greatly terrified, and we made our judgment upon the sight, and knew by our wisdom the proper interpretation thereof, that this thing applies to the child that is born to Terah, who will grow up and multiply greatly, and become powerful, and kill all the kings of the land, and inherit all their lands, he and his seed forever.

12 And now our lord and king, behold we have truly acquainted you with what we have seen concerning this child.

13 If it seemeth good to the king to give his father value for this child, we will slay him before he shall grow up and increase in the land, and his evil increase against us, that we and our children perish through his evil.

14 And the king heard their words and they seemed good in his sight, and he sent and called for Terah, and Terah came before the king.

15 And the king said to Terah, I have been told that a son was yesternight born to you, and after this manner was observed in the skies at his birth.

16 And now therefore give me the child, that we may slay him before his evil springs up against us, and I will give you for his value, your house full of silver and gold.

17 And Terah answered the king and said to him: My lord and king, I have heard your words, and your servant shall do all that his king desireth.

18 But my lord and king, I will tell you what happened to me yesternight, that I may see what advice the king will give his servant, and then I will answer the king upon what he has just spoken; and the king said, Speak.

19 And Terah said to the king, Ayon, son of Mored, came to me yesternight, saying,

20 Give unto me the great and beautiful horse that the king gave you, and I will give you silver and gold, and straw and provender for its value; and I said to him, Wait till I see the king concerning your words, and behold whatever the king saith, that will I do.

21 And now my lord and king, behold I have made this thing known to you, and the advice which my king will give unto his servant, that will I follow.

22 And the king heard the words of Terah, and his anger was kindled and he considered him in the light of a fool.

23 And the king answered Terah, and he said to him, Art you so silly, ignorant, or deficient in understanding, to do this thing, to give your beautiful horse for silver and gold or even for straw and provender?

24 Art you so short of silver and gold, that you shouldst do this thing, because you canst not obtain straw and provender to feed your horse? and what is silver and gold to you, or straw and provender, that you shouldst give away that fine horse which I gave you, like which there is none to be had on the whole land?

25 And the king left off speaking, and Terah answered the king, saying, Like unto this has the king spoken to his servant;

26 I beseech you, my lord and king, what is this which you didst say unto me, saying, Give your son that we may slay him, and I will give you silver and gold for his value; what shall I do with silver and gold after the death of my son? who shall inherit me? surely then at my death, the silver and gold will return to my king who gave it.

27 And when the king heard the words of Terah, and the parable which he brought concerning the king, it grieved him greatly and he was vexed at this thing, and his anger burned within him.

28 And Terah saw that the anger of the king was kindled against him, and he answered the king, saying, All that I have is in the king's power; whatever the king desireth to do to his servant, that let him do, yea, even my son, he is in the king's power, without value in exchange, he and his two brothers that are older than he.

29 And the king said to Terah, No, but I will purchase your younger son for a price.

30 And Terah answered the king, saying, I beseech you my lord and king to let your servant speak a word before you, and let the king hear the word of his servant, and Terah said, Let my king give me three days' time till I consider this matter within myself, and consult with my family concerning the words of my king; and he pressed the king greatly to agree to this.

31 And the king hearkened to Terah, and he did so and he gave him three days' time, and Terah went out from the king's presence, and he came home to his family and spoke to them all the words of the king; and the people were greatly afraid.

32 And it was in the third day that the king sent to Terah, saying, Send me your son for a price as I spoke to you; and shouldst you not do this, I will send and slay all you hast in your house, so that you shalt not even have a dog remaining.

33 And Terah hastened, (as the thing was urgent from the king), and he took a child from one of his servants, which his handmaid had born to him that day, and Terah brought the child to the king and received value for him.

34 And Yahweh was with Terah in this matter, that Nimrod might not cause Abram's death, and the king took the child from Terah and with all his might dashed his head to the ground, for he thought it had been Abram; and this was concealed from him from that day, and it was forgotten by the king, as it was the will of Providence not to suffer Abram's death.

35 And Terah took Abram his son secretly, together with his mother and nurse, and he concealed them in a cave, and he brought them their provisions monthly.

36 And Yahweh was with Abram in the cave and he grew up, and Abram was in the cave ten years, and the king and his princes, soothsayers and sages, thought that the king had killed Abram.

​​ 11:27 ​​ Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

Jasher 9:1 And Haran, the son of Terah, Abram's oldest brother, took a wife in those days.

2 Haran was thirty-nine years old when he took her; and the wife of Haran conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Lot.

3 And she conceived again and bare a daughter, and she called her name Milca; and she again conceived and bare a daughter, and she called her name Sarai.

4 Haran was forty-two years old when he begat Sarai, which was in the tenth year of the life of Abram; and in those days Abram and his mother and nurse went out from the cave, as the king and his subjects had forgotten the affair of Abram.

​​ 11:28 ​​ And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

Jasher 9:6 And Abram was in Noah's house thirty-nine years, and Abram knew Yahweh from three years old, and he went in the ways of Yahweh until the day of his death, as Noah and his son Shem had taught him (his forefathers); and all the sons of the land in those days greatly transgressed against Yahweh, and they rebelled against Him and they served other gods, and they forgot Yahweh who had created them in the land; and the inhabitants of the land made unto themselves, at that time, every man his god; gods of wood and stone which could neither speak, hear, nor deliver, and the sons of men served them and they became their gods.

7 And the king and all his servants, and Terah with all his household were then the first of those that served gods of wood and stone.

8 And Terah had twelve gods of large size, made of wood and stone, after the twelve months of the year, and he served each one monthly, and every month Terah would bring his meat offering and drink offering to his gods; thus did Terah all the days.

9 And all that generation were wicked in the sight of Yahweh, and they thus made every man his god, but they forsook Yahweh who had created them.

10 And there was not a man found in those days in the whole land, who knew Yahweh (for they served each man his own God) except Noah's household, and all those who were under his counsel knew Yahweh in those days.

11 And Abram the son of Terah was waxing great in those days in the house of Noah, and no man knew it, and Yahweh was with him.

12 And Yahweh gave Abram an understanding heart, and he knew all the works of that generation were vain, and that all their gods were vain and were of no avail.

13 And Abram saw the sun shining upon the land, and Abram said unto himself 'Surely now this sun that shines upon the land is God, and Him will I serve'.

14 And Abram served the sun in that day and he prayed to him, and when evening came the sun set as usual, and Abram said within himself, Surely this cannot be God?

15 And Abram still continued to speak within himself, Who is He who made the skies and the land? Who created upon land? where is He?

16 And night darkened over him, and he lifted up his eyes toward the west, north, south, and east, and he saw that the sun had vanished from the land, and the day became dark.

17 And Abram saw the stars and moon before him, and he said, Surely this is the God who created the whole land as well as Adam, and behold these His servants are gods around Him: and Abram served the moon and prayed to it all that night.

18 And in the morning when it was light and the sun shone upon the land as usual, Abram saw all the things that Yahweh God had made upon land.

19 And Abram said unto himself Surely these are not gods that made the land and all mankind, but these are the servants of God, and Abram remained in the house of Noah and there knew Yahweh and His ways' and he served Yahweh all the days of his life, and all that generation forgot Yahweh, and served other gods of wood and stone, and rebelled all their days.

​​ 11:29 ​​ And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

Society had changed, with the enlarging of the population, and now marriage ceremonies had developed. Now the word wife/wives can be used in proper context.

​​ 11:30 ​​ But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

​​ 11:31 ​​ And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

​​ 11:32 ​​ And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

Jasher 11:1-11

1 And Nimrod son of Cush was still in the land of Shinar, and he reigned over it and dwelt there, and he built cities in the land of Shinar.

2 And these are the names of the four cities which he built, and he called their names after the occurrences that happened to them in the building of the tower.

3 And he called the first Babel, saying, Because Yahweh there confounded the language of the whole land; and the name of the second he called Erech, because from there God dispersed them.

4 And the third he called Eched, saying there was a great battle at that place; and the fourth he called Calnah, because his princes and mighty men were consumed there, and they vexed Yahweh , they rebelled and transgressed against Him.

5 And when Nimrod had built these cities in the land of Shinar, he placed in them the remainder of his people, his princes and his mighty men that were left in his kingdom.

6 And Nimrod dwelt in Babel, and he there renewed his reign over the rest of his subjects, and he reigned securely, and the subjects and princes of Nimrod called his name Amraphel, saying that at the tower his princes and men fell through his means.

7 And notwithstanding this, Nimrod did not return to Yahweh, and he continued in wickedness and teaching wickedness to the sons of Adam; and Mardon, his son, was worse than his father, and continued to add to the abominations of his father.

8 And he caused the sons of Adam to sin, therefore it is said, From the wicked goeth forth wickedness.

9 At that time there was war between the families of the children of Ham, as they were dwelling in the cities which they had built.

10 And Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, went away from the families of the children of Ham, and he fought with them and he subdued them, and he went to the five cities of the plain and he fought against them and he subdued them, and they were under his control.

11 And they served him twelve years, and they gave him a yearly tax.

The call of Abram

Jasher 11:14-61

14 And Abram knew Yahweh, and he went in his ways and instructions, and Yahweh his God was with him.

15 And Terah his father was in those days, still captain of the host of king Nimrod, and he still followed strange gods.

16 And Abram came to his father's house and saw twelve gods standing there in their temples, and the anger of Abram was kindled when he saw these images in his father's house.

17 And Abram said, As Yahweh liveth these images shall not remain in my father's house; so shall Yahweh who created me do unto me if in three days' time I do not break them all.

18 And Abram went from them, and his anger burned within him. And Abram hastened and went from the chamber to his father's outer court, and he found his father sitting in the court, and all his servants with him, and Abram came and sat before him.

19 And Abram asked his father, saying, Father, tell me where is God who created the sky and land, and all the sons of Adam upon the land, and who created you and me. And Terah answered his son Abram and said, Behold those who created us are all with us in the house.

20 And Abram said to his father, My lord, shew them to me I pray you; and Terah brought Abram into the chamber of the inner court, and Abram saw, and behold the whole room was full of gods of wood and stone, twelve great images and others less than they without number.

21 And Terah said to his son, Behold these are they which made all you seest upon the land, and which created me and you, and all mankind.

22 And Terah bowed down to his gods, and he then went away from them, and Abram, his son, went away with him.

23 And when Abram had gone from them he went to his mother and sat before her, and he said to his mother, Behold, my father has shown me those who made the sky and land, and all the sons of Adam.

24 Now, therefore, hasten and fetch a kid from the flock, and make of it savory meat, that I may bring it to my father's gods as an offering for them to eat; perhaps I may thereby become acceptable to them.

25 And his mother did so, and she fetched a kid, and made savory meat thereof, and brought it to Abram, and Abram took the savory meat from his mother and brought it before his father's gods, and he drew nigh to them that they might eat; and Terah his father, did not know of it.

26 And Abram saw on the day when he was sitting amongst them, that they had no voice, no hearing, no motion, and not one of them could stretch forth his hand to eat.

27 And Abram mocked them, and said, Surely the savory meat that I prepared has not pleased them, or perhaps it was too little for them, and for that reason they would not eat; therefore tomorrow I will prepare fresh savory meat, better and more plentiful than this, in order that I may see the result.

28 And it was on the next day that Abram directed his mother concerning the savory meat, and his mother rose and fetched three fine kids from the flock, and she made of them some excellent savory meat, such as her son was fond of, and she gave it to her son Abram; and Terah his father did not know of it.

29 And Abram took the savory meat from his mother, and brought it before his father's gods into the chamber; and he came nigh unto them that they might eat, and he placed it before them, and Abram sat before them all day, thinking perhaps they might eat.

30 And Abram viewed them, and behold they had neither voice nor hearing, nor did one of them stretch forth his hand to the meat to eat.

31 And in the evening of that day in that house Abram was clothed with the spirit of God.

32 And he called out and said, Woe unto my father and this wicked generation, whose hearts are all inclined to vanity, who serve these idols of wood and stone which can neither eat, smell, hear nor speak, who have mouths without speech, eyes without sight, ears without hearing, hands without feeling, and legs which cannot move; like them are those that made them and that trust in them.

33 And when Abram saw all these things his anger was kindled against his father, and he hastened and took a hatchet in his hand, and came unto the chamber of the gods, and he broke all his father's gods.

34 And when he had done breaking the images, he placed the hatchet in the hand of the great god which was there before them, and he went out; and Terah his father came home, for he had heard at the door the sound of the striking of the hatchet; so Terah came into the house to know what this was about.

35 And Terah, having heard the noise of the hatchet in the room of images, ran to the room to the images, and he met Abram going out.

36 And Terah entered the room and found all the idols fallen down and broken, and the hatchet in the hand of the largest, which was not broken, and the savory meat which Abram his son had made was still before them.

37 And when Terah saw this his anger was greatly kindled, and he hastened and went from the room to Abram.

38 And he found Abram his son still sitting in the house; and he said to him, What is this work you hast done to my gods?

39 And Abram answered Terah his father and he said, Not so my lord, for I brought savory meat before them, and when I came nigh to them with the meat that they might eat, they all at once stretched forth their hands to eat before the great one had put forth his hand to eat.

40 And the large one saw their works that they did before him, and his anger was violently kindled against them, and he went and took the hatchet that was in the house and came to them and broke them all, and behold the hatchet is yet in his hand as you seest.

41 And Terah's anger was kindled against his son Abram, when he spoke this; and Terah said to Abram his son in his anger, What is this tale that you hast told? Thou speakest lies to me.

42 Is there in these gods spirit, soul or power to do all you hast told me? Are they not wood and stone, and have I not myself made them, and canst you speak such lies, saying that the large god that was with them smote them? It is you that didst place the hatchet in his hands, and then sayest he smote them all.

43 And Abram answered his father and said to him, And how canst you then serve these idols in whom there is no power to do any thing? Can those idols in which you trustest deliver you? can they hear your prayers when you callest upon them? can they deliver you from the hands of your enemies, or will they fight your battles for you against your enemies, that you shouldst serve wood and stone which can neither speak nor hear?

44 And now surely it is not good for you nor for the sons of Adam that are connected with you, to do these things; are you so silly, so foolish or so short of understanding that you will serve wood and stone, and do after this manner?

45 And forget Yahweh God who made the sky and land, and who created you in the land, and thereby bring a great evil upon your souls in this matter by serving stone and wood?

46 Did not our fathers in days of old sin in this matter, and Yahweh God of the universe brought the waters of the flood upon them and destroyed the whole land?

47 And how can you continue to do this and serve gods of wood and stone, who cannot hear, or speak, or deliver you from oppression, thereby bringing down the anger of the God of the universe upon you?

48 Now therefore my father refrain from this, and bring not evil upon your soul and the souls of your household.

49 And Abram hastened and sprang from before his father, and took the hatchet from his father's largest idol, with which Abram broke it and ran away.

50 And Terah, seeing all that Abram had done, hastened to go from his house, and he went to the king and he came before Nimrod and stood before him, and he bowed down to the king; and the king said, What dost you want?

51 And he said, I beseech you my lord, to hear me--Now fifty years back a child was born to me, and thus has he done to my gods and thus has he spoken; and now therefore, my lord and king, send for him that he may come before you, and judge him according to the law, that we may be delivered from his evil.

52 And the king sent three men of his servants, and they went and brought Abram before the king. And Nimrod and all his princes and servants were that day sitting before him, and Terah sat also before them.

53 And the king said to Abram, What is this that you hast done to your father and to his gods? And Abram answered the king in the words that he spoke to his father, and he said, The large god that was with them in the house did to them what you hast heard.

54 And the king said to Abram, Had they power to speak and eat and do as you hast said? And Abram answered the king, saying, And if there be no power in them why dost you serve them and cause the sons of Adam to err through your follies?

55 Dost you imagine that they can deliver you or do anything small or great, that you shouldst serve them? And why wilt you not sense the God of the whole universe, who created you and in whose power it is to kill and keep alive?

56 0 foolish, simple, and ignorant king, woe unto you forever.

57 I thought you wouldst teach your servants the upright way, but you hast not done this, but hast filled the whole earth with your sins and the sins of your people who have followed your ways.

58 Dost you not know, or hast you not heard, that this evil which you doest, our ancestors sinned therein in days of old, and the eternal God brought the waters of the flood upon them and destroyed them all, and also destroyed the whole land on their account? And wilt you and your people rise up now and do like unto this work, in order to bring down the anger of Yahweh God of the universe, and to bring evil upon you and the whole land?

59 Now therefore put away this evil deed which you doest, and serve the God of the universe, as your soul is in His hands, and then it will be well with you.

60 And if your wicked heart will not hearken to my words to cause you to forsake your evil ways, and to serve the eternal God, then wilt you die in shame in the latter days, you, your people and all who are connected with you, hearing your words or walking in your evil ways.

61 And when Abram had ceased speaking before the king and princes, Abram lifted up his eyes to the skies, and he said, Yahweh seeth all the wicked, and He will judge them.

Jasher 12:1-70

1 And when the king heard the words of Abram he ordered him to be put into prison; and Abram was ten days in prison.

2 And at the end of those days the king ordered that all the kings, princes and governors of different provinces and the sages should come before him, and they sat before him, and Abram was still in the house of confinement.

3 And the king said to the princes and sages, Have you heard what Abram, the son of Terah, has done to his father? Thus has he done to him, and I ordered him to be brought before me, and thus has he spoken; his heart did not misgive him, neither did he stir in my presence, and behold now he is confined in the prison.

4 And therefore decide what judgment is due to this man who reviled the king; who spoke and did all the things that you heard.

5 And they all answered the king saying, The man who revileth the king should be hanged upon a tree; but having done all the things that he said, and having despised our gods, he must therefore be burned to death, for this is the law in this matter.

6 If it pleaseth the king to do this, let him order his servants to kindle a fire both night and day in your brick furnace, and then we will cast this man into it. And the king did so, and he commanded his servants that they should prepare a fire for three days and three nights in the king's furnace, that is in Casdim; and the king ordered them to take Abram from prison and bring him out to be burned.

7 And all the king's servants, princes, lords, governors, and judges, and all the inhabitants of the land, about nine hundred thousand men, stood opposite the furnace to see Abram.

8 And all the women and little ones crowded upon the roofs and towers to see what was doing with Abram, and they all stood together at a distance; and there was not a man left that did not come on that day to behold the scene.

9 And when Abram was come, the conjurors of the king and the sages saw Abram, and they cried out to the king, saying, Our sovereign lord, surely this is the man whom we know to have been the child at whose birth the great star swallowed the four stars, which we declared to the king now fifty years since.

10 And behold now his father has also transgressed your commands, and mocked you by bringing you another child, which you didst kill.

11 And when the king heard their words, he was exceedingly wroth, and he ordered Terah to be brought before him.

12 And the king said, Hast you heard what the conjurors have spoken? Now tell me truly, how didst you; and if you shalt speak truth you shalt be acquitted.

13 And seeing that the king's anger was so much kindled, Terah said to the king, My lord and king, you hast heard the truth, and what the sages have spoken is right. And the king said, How couldst you do this thing, to transgress my orders and to give me a child that you didst not beget, and to take value for him?

14 And Terah answered the king, Because my tender feelings were excited for my son, at that time, and I took a son of my handmaid, and I brought him to the king.

15 And the king said Who advised you to this? Tell me, do not hide aught from me, and then you shalt not die.

16 And Terah was greatly terrified in the king's presence, and he said to the king, It was Haran my eldest son who advised me to this; and Haran was in those days that Abram was born, two and thirty years old.

17 But Haran did not advise his father to anything, for Terah said this to the king in order to deliver his soul from the king, for he feared greatly; and the king said to Terah, Haran your son who advised you to this shall die through fire with Abram; for the sentence of death is upon him for having rebelled against the king's desire in doing this thing.

18 And Haran at that time felt inclined to follow the ways of Abram, but he kept it within himself.

19 And Haran said in his heart, Behold now the king has seized Abram on account of these things which Abram did, and it shall come to pass, that if Abram prevail over the king I will follow him, but if the king prevail I will go after the king.

20 And when Terah had spoken this to the king concerning Haran his son, the king ordered Haran to be seized with Abram.

21 And they brought them both, Abram and Haran his brother, to cast them into the fire; and all the inhabitants of the land and the king's servants and princes and all the women and little ones were there, standing that day over them.

22 And the king's servants took Abram and his brother, and they stripped them of all their clothes excepting their lower garments which were upon them.

23 And they bound their hands and feet with linen cords, and the servants of the king lifted them up and cast them both into the furnace.

24 And Yahweh loved Abram and He had compassion over him, and Yahweh came down and delivered Abram from the fire and he was not burned.

25 But all the cords with which they bound him were burned, while Abram remained and walked about in the fire.

26 And Haran died when they had cast him into the fire, and he was burned to ashes, for his heart was not perfect with Yahweh; and those men who cast him into the fire, the flame of the fire spread over them, and they were burned, and twelve men of them died.

27 And Abram walked in the midst of the fire three days and three nights, and all the servants of the king saw him walking in the fire, and they came and told the king, saying, Behold we have seen Abram walking about in the midst of the fire, and even the lower garments which are upon him are not burned, but the cord with which he was bound is burned.

28 And when the king heard their words his heart fainted and he would not believe them; so he sent other faithful princes to see this matter, and they went and saw it and told it to the king; and the king rose to go and see it, and he saw Abram walking to and fro in the midst of the fire, and he saw Haran's body burned, and the king wondered greatly.

29 And the king ordered Abram to be taken out from the fire; and his servants approached to take him out and they could not, for the fire was round about and the flame ascending toward them from the furnace.

30 And the king's servants fled from it, and the king rebuked them, saying, Make haste and bring Abram out of the fire that you shall not die.

31 And the servants of the king again approached to bring Abram out, and the flames came upon them and burned their faces so that eight of them died.

32 And when the king saw that his servants could not approach the fire lest they should be burned, the king called to Abram, O servant of the God who is in the sky, go forth from amidst the fire and come hither before me; and Abram hearkened to the voice of the king, and he went forth from the fire and came and stood before the king.

33 And when Abram came out the king and all his servants saw Abram coming before the king, with his lower garments upon him, for they were not burned, but the cord with which he was bound was burned.

34 And the king said to Abram, How is it that you wast not burned in the fire?

35 And Abram said to the king, The God of the sky and land in whom I trust and who has all in His power, He delivered me from the fire into which you didst cast me.

36 And Haran the brother of Abram was burned to ashes, and they sought for his body, and they found it consumed.

37 And Haran was eighty-two years old when he died in the fire of Casdim. And the king, princes, and inhabitants of the land, seeing that Abram was delivered from the fire, they came and bowed down to Abram.

38 And Abram said to them, Do not bow down to me, but bow down to the God of the world who made you, and serve Him, and go in His ways for it is He who delivered me from out of this fire, and it is He who created the souls and spirits of all men, and formed man in his mother's womb, and brought him forth into the world, and it is He who will deliver those who trust in Him from all pain.

39 And this thing seemed very wonderful in the eyes of the king and princes, that Abram was saved from the fire and that Haran was burned; and the king gave Abram many presents and he gave him his two head servants from the king's house; the name of one was Oni and the name of the other was Eliezer.

40 And all the kings, princes and servants gave Abram many gifts of silver and gold and pearl, and the king and his princes sent him away, and he went in peace.

41 And Abram went forth from the king in peace, and many of the king's servants followed him, and about three hundred men joined him.

42 And Abram returned on that day and went to his father's house, he and the men that followed him, and Abram served Yahweh his God all the days of his life, and he walked in His ways and followed His law.

43 And from that day forward Abram inclined the hearts of the sons of Adam to serve Yahweh.

44 And at that time Nahor and Abram took unto themselves wives, the daughters of their brother Haran; the wife of Nahor was Milca and the name of Abram's wife was Sarai. And Sarai, wife of Abram, was barren; she had no offspring in those days.

45 And at the expiration of two years from Abram's going out of the fire, that is in the fifty-second year of his life, behold king Nimrod sat in Babel upon the throne, and the king fell asleep and dreamed that he was standing with his troops and hosts in a valley opposite the king's furnace.

46 And he lifted up his eyes and saw a man in the likeness of Abram coming forth from the furnace, and that he came and stood before the king with his drawn sword, and then sprang to the king with his sword, when the king fled from the man, for he was afraid; and while he was running, the man threw an egg upon the king's head, and the egg became a great river.

47 And the king dreamed that all his troops sank in that river and died, and the king took flight with three men who were before him and he escaped.

48 And the king looked at these men and they were clothed in princely dresses as the garments of kings, and had the appearance and majesty of kings.

49 And while they were running, the river again turned to an egg before the king, and there came forth from the egg a young bird which came before the king, and flew at his head and plucked out the king's eye.

50 And the king was grieved at the sight, and he awoke out of his sleep and his spirit was agitated; and he felt a great terror.

51 And in the morning the king rose from his couch in fear, and he ordered all the wise men and magicians to come before him, when the king related his dream to them.

52 And a wise servant of the king, whose name was Anuki, answered the king, saying, This is nothing else but the evil of Abram and his seed which will spring up against my lord and king in the latter days.

53 And behold the day will come when Abram and his seed and the children of his household will war with my king, and they will smite all the king's hosts and his troops.

54 And as to what you hast said concerning three men which you didst see like unto thyself, and which did escape, this means that only you wilt escape with three kings from the kings of the land who will be with you in battle.

55 And that which you sawest of the river which turned to an egg as at first, and the young bird plucking out thine eye, this means nothing else but the seed of Abram which will slay the king in latter days.

56 This is my king's dream, and this is its interpretation, and the dream is true, and the interpretation which your servant has given you is right.

57 Now therefore my king, surely you knowest that it is now fifty-two years since your sages saw this at the birth of Abram, and if my king will suffer Abram to live in the earth it will be to the injury of my lord and king, for all the days that Abram liveth neither you nor your kingdom will be established, for this was known formerly at his birth; and why will not my king slay him, that his evil may be kept from you in latter days?

58 And Nimrod hearkened to the voice of Anuki, and he sent some of his servants in secret to go and seize Abram, and bring him before the king to suffer death.

59 And Eliezer, Abram's servant whom the king had given him, was at that time in the presence of the king, and he heard what Anuki had advised the king, and what the king had said to cause Abram's death.

60 And Eliezer said to Abram, Hasten, rise up and save your soul, that you mayest not die through the hands of the king, for thus did he see in a dream concerning you, and thus did Anuki interpret it, and thus also did Anuki advise the king concerning you.

61 And Abram hearkened to the voice of Eliezer, and Abram hastened and ran for safety, and he concealed himself there and found a place of safety; and the king's servants came to Abram's house to seek him, but they could not find him, and they searched through out the country and he was not to be found, and they went and searched in every direction and he was not to be met with.

62 And when the king's servants could not find Abram they returned to the king, but the king's anger against Abram was stilled, as they did not find him, and the king drove from his mind this matter concerning Abram.

63 And Abram was concealed for one month, until the king had forgotten this matter, but Abram was still afraid of the king; and Terah came to see Abram his son secretly, and Terah was very great in the eyes of the king.

64 And Abram said to his father, Dost you not know that the king thinketh to slay me, and to annihilate my name from the land by the advice of his wicked counsellors?

65 Now whom hast you here and what hast you in this land? Arise, let us go together to the land of Canaan, that we may be delivered from his hand, lest you perish also through him in the latter days.

66 Dost you not know or hast you not heard, that it is not through love that Nimrod giveth you all this honor, but it is only for his benefit that he bestoweth all this good upon you?

67 And if he do unto you greater good than this, surely these are only vanities of the world, for wealth and riches cannot avail in the day of wrath and anger.

68 Now therefore hearken to my voice, and let us arise and go to the land of Canaan, out of the reach of injury from Nimrod; and serve you Yahweh who created you in the land and it will be well with you; and cast away all the vain things which you pursuest.

69 And Abram ceased to speak, when Noah and his son Shem's household answered Terah, saying, True is the word which Abram hath said unto you.

70 And Terah hearkened to the voice of his son Abram, and Terah did all that Abram said, for this was from Yahweh, that the king should not cause Abram's death.

Genesis 12:1 ​​ Now Yahweh had said unto Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, unto a land that I will shew you:

Hebrews 11:8 ​​ By faith (allegiance) Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

​​ 12:2 ​​ And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great (honored); and you shalt be a blessing:

Nation is from H1471. Yahweh will make Abram a great Gentiles? No. ​​ 

​​ 12:3 ​​ And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curseth you: and in you shall all families of the earth (land) be blessed.

The Hebrew is more specific: “I will bless your blessers, and curse your cursers: and in you shall all your kindred people of the soil be blessed.”

The blessings and curses do not apply to “all mankind” as the “churches” teach. The context is the race of Adam.

Galatians 3:8 ​​ And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations through faith (allegiance), preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In you shall all nations be blessed.

Exodus 23:22 ​​ But if you shalt indeed obey His voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

Jasher 13:2-3

2 And the people of the land of Haran saw that Abram was good and upright with God and men, and that Yahweh his God was with him, and some of the people of the land of Haran came and joined Abram, and he taught them the instruction of Yahweh and His ways; and these men remained with Abram in his house and they adhered to him.

3 And Abram remained in the land three years, and at the expiration of three years Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him; I am Yahweh who brought you forth from Ur Casdim, and delivered you from the hands of all thine enemies.

Jasher 13:10-25

10 And Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, he, his wife, and all belonging to him, and all those that accompanied him, together with those that joined him from the people of the land; but Nahor, Abram's brother, and Terah his father, and Lot the son of Haran and all belonging to them dwelt in Haran.

11 In the fifth year of Abram's dwelling in the land of Canaan the people of Sodom and Gomorrah and all the cities of the plain revolted from the power of Chedorlaomer, king of Elam; for all the kings of the cities of the plain had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and given him a yearly tax, but in those days in the thirteenth year, they rebelled against him.

12 And in the tenth year of Abram's dwelling in the land of Canaan there was war between Nimrod king of Shinar and Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Nimrod came to fight with Chedorlaomer and to subdue him.

13 For Chedorlaomer was at that time one of the princes of the hosts of Nimrod, and when all the people at the tower were dispersed and those that remained were also scattered upon the face of the land, Chedorlaomer went to the land of Elam and reigned over it and rebelled against his lord.

14 And in those days when Nimrod saw that the cities of the plain had rebelled, he came with pride and anger to war with Chedorlaomer, and Nimrod assembled all his princes and subjects, about seven hundred thousand men, and went against Chedorlaomer, and Chedorlaomer went out to meet him with five thousand men, and they prepared for battle in the valley of Babel which is between Elam and Shinar.

15 And all those kings fought there, and Nimrod and his people were smitten before the people of Chedorlaomer, and there fell from Nimrod's men about six hundred thousand, and Mardon the king's son fell amongst them.

16 And Nimrod fled and returned in shame and disgrace to his land, and he was under subjection to Chedorlaomer for a long time, and Chedorlaomer returned to his land and sent princes of his host to the kings that dwelt around him, to Arioch king of Elasar, and to Tidal king of Goyim, and made a covenant with them, and they were all obedient to his commands.

17 And it was in the fifteenth year of Abram's dwelling in the land of Canaan, which is the seventieth year of the life of Abram, and Yahweh appeared to Abram in that year and He said to him, I am Yahweh who brought you out from Ur Casdim to give you this land for an inheritance.

18 Now therefore walk before Me and be perfect and keep My commands, for to you and to your seed I will give this land for an inheritance, from the river Mitzraim unto the great river Euphrates.

19 And you shalt come to your fathers in peace and in good age, and the fourth generation shall return here in this land and shall inherit it forever; and Abram built an altar, and he called upon the name of Yahweh who appeared to him, and he brought up sacrifices upon the altar to Yahweh.

20 At that time Abram returned and went to Haran to see his father and mother, and his father's household, and Abram and his wife and all belonging to him returned to Haran, and Abram dwelt in Haran five years.

21 And many of the people of Haran, about seventy-two men, followed Abram and Abram taught them the instruction of Yahweh and His ways, and he taught them to know Yahweh.

22 In those days Yahweh appeared to Abram in Haran, and He said to him, Behold, I spoke unto you these twenty years back saying,

23 Go forth from your land, from your birth-place and from your father's house, to the land which I have shown you to give it to you and to your children, for there in that land will I bless you, and make you a great nation, and make your name great, and in you shall the families of the land be blessed.

24 Now therefore arise, go forth from this place, you, your wife, and all belonging to you, also every one born in your house and all the souls you hast made in Haran, and bring them out with you from here, and rise to return to the land of Canaan.

25 And Abram arose and took his wife Sarai and all belonging to him and all that were born to him in his house and the souls which they had made in Haran, and they came out to go to the land of Canaan.

​​ 12:4 ​​ So Abram departed, as Yahweh had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

​​ 12:5 ​​ And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance (property) that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

​​ 12:6 ​​ And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem (Shechem), unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

Canaanites are the mixed descendants of Cain and Canaan.

The 'plain of Moreh' had huge trees (terebinth) and were used as markers, like mile markers.

​​ 12:7 ​​ And Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto your seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto Yahweh, who appeared unto him.

​​ 12:8 ​​ And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto Yahweh, and called upon the name of Yahweh.

Note: Bethel was not the name yet. Jacob later named that place Bethel. Remember, Moses had not wrote Genesis yet. Moses also reminded his kinsmen of the name of Yahweh in the Exodus.

Jasher 14:1 In those days there was in the land of Shinar a wise man who had understanding in all wisdom, and of a beautiful appearance, but he was poor and indigent; his name was Rikayon and he was hard set to support himself.

2 And he resolved to go to Egypt, to Oswiris the son of Anom king of Egypt, to show the king his wisdom; for perhaps he might find grace in his sight, to raise him up and give him maintenance; and Rikayon did so.

3 And when Rikayon came to Egypt he asked the inhabitants of Egypt concerning the king, and the inhabitants of Egypt told him the custom of the king of Egypt, for it was then the custom of the king of Egypt that he went from his royal palace and was seen abroad only one day in the year, and after that the king would return to his palace to remain there.

4 And on the day when the king went forth he passed judgment in the land, and every one having a suit came before the king that day to obtain his request.

5 And when Rikayon heard of the custom in Egypt and that he could not come into the presence of the king, he grieved greatly and was very sorrowful.

6 And in the evening Rikayon went out and found a house in ruins, formerly a bake house in Egypt, and he abode there all night in bitterness of soul and pinched with hunger, and sleep was removed from his eyes.

7 And Rikayon considered within himself what he should do in the town until the king made his appearance, and how he might maintain himself there.

8 And he rose in the morning and walked about, and met in his way those who sold vegetables and various sorts of seed with which they supplied the inhabitants.

9 And Rikayon wished to do the same in order to get a maintenance in the city, but he was unacquainted with the custom of the people, and he was like a blind man among them.

10 And he went and obtained vegetables to sell them for his support, and the rabble assembled about him and ridiculed him, and took his vegetables from him and left him nothing.

11 And he rose up from there in bitterness of soul, and went sighing to the bake house in which he had remained all the night before, and he slept there the second night.

12 And on that night again he reasoned within himself how he could save himself from starvation, and he devised a scheme how to act.

13 And he rose up in the morning and acted ingeniously, and went and hired thirty strong men of the rabble, carrying their war instruments in their hands, and he led them to the top of the Egyptian sepulchre, and he placed them there.

14 And he commanded them, saying, Thus saith the king, Strengthen yourselves and be valiant men, and let no man be buried here until two hundred pieces of silver be given, and then he may be buried; and those men did according to the order of Rikayon to the people of Egypt the whole of that year.

15 And in eight months time Rikayon and his men gathered great riches of silver and gold, and Rikayon took a great quantity of horses and other animals, and he hired more men, and he gave them horses and they remained with him.

16 And when the year came round, at the time the king went forth into the town, all the inhabitants of Egypt assembled together to speak to him concerning the work of Rikayon and his men.

17 And the king went forth on the appointed day, and all the Egyptians came before him and cried unto him, saying,

18 May the king live forever. What is this thing you doest in the town to your servants, not to suffer a dead body to be buried until so much silver and gold be given? Was there ever the like unto this done in the whole land, from the days of former kings yea even from the days of Adam, unto this day, that the dead should not be buried only for a set price?

19 We know it to be the custom of kings to take a yearly tax from the living, but you dost not only do this, but from the dead also you exactest a tax day by day.

20 Now, O king, we can no more bear this, for the whole city is ruined on this account, and dost you not know it?

21 And when the king heard all that they had spoken he was very wroth, and his anger burned within him at this affair, for he had known nothing of it.

22 And the king said, Who and where is he that dares to do this wicked thing in my land without my command? Surely you will tell me.

23 And they told him all the works of Rikayon and his men, and the king's anger was aroused, and he ordered Rikayon and his men to be brought before him.

24 And Rikayon took about a thousand children, sons and daughters, and clothed them in silk and embroidery, and he set them upon horses and sent them to the king by means of his men, and he also took a great quantity of silver and gold and precious stones, and a strong and beautiful horse, as a present for the king, with which he came before the king and bowed down to the ground before him; and the king, his servants and all the inhabitants of Egypt wondered at the work of Rikayon, and they saw his riches and the present that he had brought to the king.

25 And it greatly pleased the king and he wondered at it; and when Rikayon sat before him the king asked him concerning all his works, and Rikayon spoke all his words wisely before the king, his servants and all the inhabitants of Egypt.

26 And when the king heard the words of Rikayon and his wisdom, Rikayon found grace in his sight, and he met with grace and kindness from all the servants of the king and from all the inhabitants of Egypt, on account of his wisdom and excellent speeches, and from that time they loved him exceedingly.

27 And the king answered and said to Rikayon, Thy name shall no more be called Rikayon but Pharaoh shall be your name, since you didst exact a tax from the dead; and he called his name Pharaoh.

28 And the king and his subjects loved Rikayon for his wisdom, and they consulted with all the inhabitants of Egypt to make him prefect under the king.

29 And all the inhabitants of Egypt and its wise men did so, and it was made a law in Egypt.

30 And they made Rikayon Pharaoh prefect under Oswiris king of Egypt, and Rikayon Pharaoh governed over Egypt, daily administering justice to the whole city, but Oswiris the king would judge the people of the land one day in the year, when he went out to make his appearance.

31 And Rikayon Pharaoh cunningly usurped the government of Egypt, and he exacted a tax from all the inhabitants of Egypt.

32 And all the inhabitants of Egypt greatly loved Rikayon Pharaoh, and they made a decree to call every king that should reign over them and their seed in Egypt, Pharaoh.

33 Therefore all the kings that reigned in Egypt from that time forward were called Pharaoh unto this day.

​​ 12:9 ​​ And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

​​ 12:10 ​​ And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

Jasher 15:2 And Abram and all belonging to him rose and went down to Egypt on account of the famine, and when they were at the brook Mitzraim they remained there some time to rest from the fatigue of the road.

3 And Abram and Sarai were walking at the border of the brook Mitzraim, and Abram beheld his wife Sarai that she was very beautiful.

4 And Abram said to his wife Sarai, Since God has created you with such a beautiful countenance, I am afraid of the Egyptians lest they should slay me and take you away, for the fear of God is not in these places.

​​ 12:11 ​​ And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you art a fair woman to look upon:

​​ 12:12 ​​ Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see you, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save you alive.

​​ 12:13 ​​ Say, I pray you, you art my sister: that it may be well with me for your sake; and my soul shall live because of you.

Jasher 15:6-14

6 And Abram commanded the same to all those that came with him to Egypt on account of the famine; also his nephew Lot he commanded, saying, If the Egyptians ask you concerning Sarai say she is the sister of Abram.

7 And yet with all these orders Abram did not put confidence in them, but he took Sarai and placed her in a chest and concealed it amongst their vessels, for Abram was greatly concerned about Sarai on account of the wickedness of the Egyptians.

8 And Abram and all belonging to him rose up from the brook Mitzraim and came to Egypt; and they had scarcely entered the gates of the city when the guards stood up to them saying, Give tithe to the king from what you have, and then you may come into the town; and Abram and those that were with him did so.

9 And Abram with the people that were with him came to Egypt, and when they came they brought the chest in which Sarai was concealed and the Egyptians saw the chest.

10 And the king's servants approached Abram, saying, What hast you here in this chest which we have not seen? Now open you the chest and give tithe to the king of all that it contains.

11 And Abram said, This chest I will not open, but all you demand upon it I will give. And Pharaoh's officers answered Abram, saying, It is a chest of precious stones, give us the tenth thereof.

12 Abram said, All that you desire I will give, but you must not open the chest.

13 And the king's officers pressed Abram, and they reached the chest and opened it with force, and they saw, and behold a beautiful woman was in the chest.

14 And when the officers of the king beheld Sarai they were struck with admiration at her beauty, and all the princes and servants of Pharaoh assembled to see Sarai, for she was very beautiful. And the king's officers ran and told Pharaoh all that they had seen, and they praised Sarai to the king; and Pharaoh ordered her to be brought, and the woman came before the king.

​​ 12:14 ​​ And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

​​ 12:15 ​​ The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended (praised) her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

​​ 12:16 ​​ And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

Jasher 15:16-19

16 And the woman was then brought to Pharaoh's house, and Abram grieved on account of his wife, and he prayed to Yahweh to deliver her from the hands of Pharaoh.

17 And Sarai also prayed at that time and said, O Yahweh God You didst tell my lord Abram to go from his land and from his father's house to the land of Canaan, and You didst promise to do well with him if he would perform Your commands; now behold we have done that which You didst command us, and we left our land and our families, and we went to a strange land and to a people whom we have not known before.

18 And we came to this land to avoid the famine, and this evil accident has befallen me; now therefore, O Yahweh God, deliver us and save us from the hand of this oppressor, and do well with me for the sake of Your mercy.

19 And Yahweh hearkened to the voice of Sarai, and Yahweh sent a messenger to deliver Sarai from the power of Pharaoh.

​​ 12:17 ​​ And Yahweh plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

It was against the law of the land to take another's wife. This shows that Abram was already under the protection of Yahweh.

Jasher 15:24-28

24 And when the king came near to Sarai, the messenger smote him to the ground, and acted thus to him the whole night, and the king was terrified.

25 And the messenger on that night smote heavily all the servants of the king, and his whole household, on account of Sarai, and there was a great lamentation that night amongst the people of Pharaoh's house.

26 And Pharaoh, seeing the evil that befell him, said, Surely on account of this woman has this thing happened to me, and he removed himself at some distance from her and spoke pleasing words to her.

27 And the king said to Sarai, Tell me I pray you concerning the man with whom you camest here; and Sarai said, This man is my husband, and I said to you that he was my brother for I was afraid, lest you shouldst put him to death through wickedness.

28 And the king kept away from Sarai, and the plagues of the angel of Yahweh ceased from him and his household; and Pharaoh knew that he was smitten on account of Sarai, and the king was greatly astonished at this.

​​ 12:18 ​​ And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that you hast done unto me? why didst you not tell me that she was your wife?

​​ 12:19 ​​ Why saidst you, ​​ She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold your wife, take her, and go your way.

​​ 12:20 ​​ And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

Jasher 15:30-35

30 Now therefore here is your wife, take her and go from our land lest we all die on her account. And Pharaoh took more cattle, men servants and maid servants, and silver and gold, to give to Abram, and he returned unto him Sarai his wife.

31 And the king took a maiden whom he begat by his concubines, and he gave her to Sarai for a handmaid.

32 And the king said to his daughter, It is better for you my daughter to be a handmaid in this man's house than to be mistress in my house, after we have beheld the evil that befell us on account of this woman.

33 And Abram arose, and he and all belonging to him went away from Egypt; and Pharaoh ordered some of his men to accompany him and all that went with him.

34 And Abram returned to the land of Canaan, to the place where he had made the altar, where he at first had pitched his tent.

35 And Lot the son of Haran, Abram's brother, had a heavy stock of cattle, flocks and herds and tents, for Yahweh was bountiful to them on account of Abram.

Abram and Lot part

Genesis 13:1 ​​ And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

Josephus 7:1 Now Abram, having no son of his own, adopted Lot, his brother Haran's son, and his wife Sarai's brother; and he left the land of Chaldea when he was seventy-five years old, and at the command of God went into Canaan, and therein he dwelt himself, and left it to his posterity.

He was a person of great sagacity, both for understanding all things and persuading his hearers, and not mistaken in his opinions; for which reason he began to have higher notions of virtue than others had, and he determined to renew and to change the opinion all men happened then to have concerning God; for he was the first that ventured to publish this notion, That there was but one God, the Creator of the universe; and that, as to other [gods], if they contributed any thing to the happiness of men, that each of them afforded it only according to his appointment, and not by their own power.

​​ 13:2 ​​ And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

​​ 13:3 ​​ And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;

​​ 13:4 ​​ Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of Yahweh.

They knew the name of Yahweh.

​​ 13:5 ​​ And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

​​ 13:6 ​​ And the land was not able to bear (support) them, that they might dwell together: for their substance (property) was great, so that they could not dwell together.

​​ 13:7 ​​ And there was a strife (contention) between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.

Jasher 15:37 And when Abram's herdsmen went to feed their flock they would not go into the fields of the people of the land, but the cattle of Lot's herdsmen did otherwise, for they were suffered to feed in the fields of the people of the land.

38 And the people of the land saw this occurrence daily, and they came to Abram and quarrelled with him on account of Lot's herdsmen.

39 And Abram said to Lot, What is this you art doing to me, to make me despicable to the inhabitants of the land, that you orderest your herdsman to feed your cattle in the fields of other people? Dost you not know that I am a stranger in this land amongst the children of Canaan, and why wilt you do this unto me?

40 And Abram quarrelled daily with Lot on account of this, but Lot would not listen to Abram, and he continued to do the same and the inhabitants of the land came and told Abram.

41 And Abram said unto Lot, How long wilt you be to me for a stumbling block with the inhabitants of the land?

​​ 13:8 ​​ And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife (contention), I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen; for we be brethren.

Matthew 22:39 ​​ And the second (commandment) is like unto it, Thou shalt love your neighbour (kinsmen, brother) as thyself.

Jasher 15:42 But I pray you separate from me, go and choose a place where you mayest dwell with your cattle and all belonging to you, but Keep thyself at a distance from me, you and your household.

43 And be not afraid in going from me, for if any one do an injury to you, let me know and I will avenge your cause from him, only remove from me.

​​ 13:9 ​​ Is not the whole land before you? separate your self, I pray you, from me: if you wilt take the left hand (north), then I will go to the right (south); or if you depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

​​ 13:10 ​​ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you comest unto Zoar.

It was beautiful like the garden of Eden.

​​ 13:11 ​​ Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

​​ 13:12 ​​ Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

Josephus 1.11.1 About this time the Sodomites grew proud, on account of their riches and great wealth; they became unjust towards men, and impious towards God, insomuch that they did not call to mind the advantages they received from Him: they hated strangers, and abused themselves with Sodomitical practices. God was therefore much displeased at them, and determined to punish them for their pride, and to overthrow their city, and to lay waste their country, until there should neither plant nor fruit grow out of it.

​​ 13:13 ​​ But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before Yahweh exceedingly.

Men here is iysh (H376).

​​ 13:14 ​​ And Yahweh said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

​​ 13:15 ​​ For all the land which you seest, to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.

​​ 13:16 ​​ And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth (land): so that if a man can number the dust of the earth (land), then shall your seed also be numbered.

Yahweh gives Abram a view of how the future Israel nations will spread out to Europe, and then North America. The white race cannot be numbered, the Jews can all fit in that stolen sandbox called Palestine.

​​ 13:17 ​​ Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto you.

​​ 13:18 ​​ Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Yahweh.

Chapter 14 is all about a war that was taking place while Abram was in the area of Sodom and Gomorah.

The wars of the kings

Abram rescues Lot

Genesis 14:1 ​​ And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations; ​​ 

Jasher 16:2 ​​ And these four kings went up with all their camps, about eight hundred thousand men, and they went as they were, and smote every man they found in their road.

​​ 14:2 ​​ That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

​​ 14:3 ​​ All these were joined together in the vale (valley) of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

The Sea of Salt, this is the Dead Sea.

​​ 14:4 ​​ Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

​​ 14:5 ​​ And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

The Rephaims, Zuzims and Emims were descendants of the fallen angels.

Ashteroth Karnaim means Ashteroth of the Double Horns.

Zuzims in Ham is not a reference to Ham, son of Noah. It is a different spelling and definition entirely, and is a reference to “beast men”.

​​ 14:6 ​​ And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan (well of Paran), which is by the wilderness (desert).

The Horites were in the area (Seir) that Esau would later inherit.

​​ 14:7 ​​ And they returned, and came to Enmishpat (well of Mishpat), which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.

​​ 14:8 ​​ And there went out (Bera) the king of Sodom, and (Bersha) the king of Gomorrah, and (Shinab) the king of Admah, and (Shemeber) the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale (valley) of Siddim;

Siddim is by the Dead Sea.

​​ 14:9 ​​ With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with (against) five.

​​ 14:10 ​​ And the vale (valley) of Siddim was full of slimepits (bitumen, tar); and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.

​​ 14:11 ​​ And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

​​ 14:12 ​​ And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

​​ 14:13 ​​ And there came one (Unic, Abram's servant, who was in the battle) that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he (the escapee) dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.  ​​​​ (Jasher 16:6)

​​ 14:14 ​​ And when Abram heard that his brother (kinsman, nephew) was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.

​​ 14:15 ​​ And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

​​ 14:16 ​​ And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother (nephew) Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

​​ 14:17 ​​ And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.

​​ 14:18 ​​ And Melchizedek king of Salem (early name for Jerusalem) brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

This Melchizedek at this time was Nahor, the oldest living patriarch. Adam was the first of the order of Melchizedek, Noah was the eighth. Melchizedek means preacher of righteousness.

​​ 14:19 ​​ And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven (the sky) and earth (the land):

​​ 14:20 ​​ And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him tithes (a tenth) of all.  ​​​​ (Jasher 16:12)

Hebrews 7:4 ​​ Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

​​ 14:21 ​​ And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to your self.

​​ 14:22 ​​ And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto Yahweh, the most high God, the possessor of heaven (the sky) and earth (the land),

​​ 14:23 ​​ That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is yours, lest you shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

​​ 14:24 ​​ Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

Abram basically tells the king of Sodom to take his things and that he wants none of it. Abram wanted his Adamite people (kinsmen), and didn't want to deal with anyone from Sodom.

Jasher 16:17-19

17 And the kings of Sodom gave Abram according to all that he had said, and they pressed him to take of whatever he chose, but he would not.

18 And he sent away the kings of Sodom and the remainder of their men, and he gave them orders about Lot, and they went to their respective places.

19 And Lot, his brother's son, he also sent away with his property, and he went with them, and Lot returned to his home, to Sodom, and Abram and his people returned to their home to the plains of Mamre, which is in Hebron.

The covenant with Abram

Genesis 15:1 ​​ After these things the word of Yahweh came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.

​​ 15:2 ​​ And Abram said, Yahweh GOD, what wilt you give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

The 'son of acquisition'. The steward in charge of acquiring things for the household. Eliezer was from Damascus. He was an Adamite from Syria.

​​ 15:3 ​​ And Abram said, Behold, to me you hast given no seed (offspring): and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

​​ 15:4 ​​ And, behold, the word of Yahweh came unto him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels (loins) shall be your heir.

​​ 15:5 ​​ And He brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven (sky), and tell the stars, if you be able to number them: and He said unto him, So shall your seed be.

Romans 4:18 ​​ Who against hope (expectation) believed in hope (expectation), that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken (declared), So shall your seed (offspring) be.

Hebrews 11:12 ​​ Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead (old age), so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

​​ 15:6 ​​ And he believed in Yahweh; and He counted it to him for righteousness.

The Hebrew says: 6 and believed he Yahweh; and He reckoned it to him for righteousness.

Note: “it to him for righteousness' is one word in Hebrew, H6666.

1Maccabees 2:52 ​​ Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness?

Romans 4:3 ​​ For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.  ​​​​ (Gal 3:6)

James 2:23 ​​ And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

​​ 15:7 ​​ And He said unto him, I am Yahweh that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.

​​ 15:8 ​​ And he said, Yahweh ​​ GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

​​ 15:9 ​​ And He said unto him, Take Me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

​​ 15:10 ​​ And he took unto Him all these, and divided (cut in two) them in the midst (middle), and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.  ​​​​ (Lev 1:17)

​​ 15:11 ​​ And when the fowls (wild birds) came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

​​ 15:12 ​​ And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

Job 4:13 ​​ In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,

4:14 ​​ Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.

​​ 15:13 ​​ And He said unto Abram, Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;  ​​​​ (Ex 1:1-14)

Stranger here is gare, meaning foreign kinsman. Egypt was the land of Ham, Abram was a descendant of Shem, Ham's brother.

​​ 15:14 ​​ And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge (execute judgment upon): and afterward shall they come out with great substance (possessions).  ​​​​ (Ex 12:40-41, Acts 7:7)

Yahweh tells Abram of the future captivity of Israel in Egypt, and the terrible judgments on the Egyptians. The seed of Ham (Egyptians) had forgotten the righteousness of Noah and was worshiping pagan gods and race mixing.

​​ 15:15 ​​ And you shalt go to your fathers in peace; you shalt be buried in a good old age.

​​ 15:16 ​​ But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

The Amorites came against the children of Israel as they wandered in the wilderness. After the Exodus, the children of Israel took over the Promised Land and drove out the Canaanite tribes, of which the Amorites were one.

​​ 15:17 ​​ And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace (fire pot), and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.  ​​ ​​​​ 

The lamp and pot were a traditional method of making an agreement or covenant at that time.

​​ 15:18 ​​ In the same day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:  ​​​​ (Acts 7:5)

​​ 15:19 ​​ The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites (serpent worshipers),

​​ 15:20 ​​ And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims (giants),

​​ 15:21 ​​ And the Amorites (offspring of Canaan and offspring of fallen angels), and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

These are the 10 nations of the Kenites, the descendants of Cain. All hybrid tribes. Consisting of the sons of Cain, the incestuous sons of Canaan, giants and fallen angels.

Hagar and Ishmael

Genesis 16:1 ​​ Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.  ​​​​ (Jasher 16:23)

​​ 16:2 ​​ And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, Yahweh hath restrained me from bearing: I pray you, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

​​ 16:3 ​​ And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

Hagar was an Egyptian, that is, a Hamite. Hamites were kinsman of Shem the ancestor of Abram.

​​ 16:4 ​​ And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

Hagar thought she was the big deal now because she bore Abram a son.

​​ 16:5 ​​ And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon you: I have given my maid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: Yahweh judge between me and you.

​​ 16:6 ​​ But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand (under your authority); do to her as it pleaseth you. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

​​ 16:7 ​​ And the angel (messenger) of Yahweh found her by a fountain (spring) of water in the wilderness, by the fountain (spring) in the way to Shur.

​​ 16:8 ​​ And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, where did you come from? and where will you go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

​​ 16:9 ​​ And the angel (messenger) of Yahweh said unto her, Return to your mistress, and submit your self under her hands (authority).

​​ 16:10 ​​ And the angel (messenger) of Yahweh said unto her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

​​ 16:11 ​​ And the angel (messenger) of Yahweh said unto her, Behold, you art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because Yahweh hath heard your affliction.

​​ 16:12 ​​ And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man (everyone), and every man's (everyone's) hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

Wild also means fruitful. Man is from Adam. Ishmael was Adamic, but his mother was of Ham. Only the lineage of Shem was the chosen line.

The Middle East is always at war, hence wild man.

​​ 16:13 ​​ And she called the name of Yahweh that spake unto her, You God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after Him that seeth me?

Hagar called Yahweh 'the God that sees'.

​​ 16:14 ​​ Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

​​ 16:15 ​​ And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

Galatians 4:22 ​​ For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

​​ 16:16 ​​ And Abram was fourscore and six years old (86), when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.

Ishmael was the father of the Arabs. The Arabs were once white. Later on they grew to the dark race they are now through race mixing, and their numbers are great.

Jasher 17:1-15

1 And in those days, in the ninety-first year of the life of Abram, the children of Chittim (Hittites) made war with the children of Tubal, for when Yahweh had scattered the sons of Adam upon the face of the land, the children of Chittim went and embodied themselves in the plain of Canopia, and they built themselves cities there and dwelt by the river Tibreu.

2 And the children of Tubal dwelt in Tuscanah, and their boundaries reached the river Tibreu, and the children of Tubal built a city in Tuscanan, and they called the name Sabinah, after the name of Sabinah son of Tubal their father, and they dwelt there unto this day.

3 And it was at that time the children of Chittim made war with the children of Tubal, and the children of Tubal were smitten before the children of Chittim, and the children of Chittim caused three hundred and seventy men to fall from the children of Tubal.

4 And at that time the children of Tubal swore to the children of Chittim, saying, You shall not intermarry amongst us, and no man shall give his daughter to any of the sons of Chittim.

5 For all the daughters of Tubal were in those days fair, for no women were then found in the whole land so fair as the daughters of Tubal.

6 And all who delighted in the beauty of women went to the daughters of Tubal and took wives from them, and the sons of Adam, kings and princes, who greatly delighted in the beauty of women, took wives in those days from the daughters of Tubal.

7 And at the end of three years after the children of Tubal had sworn to the children of Chittim not to give them their daughters for wives, about twenty men of the children of Chittim went to take some of the daughters of Tubal, but they found none.

8 For the children of Tubal kept their oaths not to intermarry with them, and they would not break their oaths.

9 And in the days of harvest the children of Tubal went into their fields to get in their harvest, when the young men of Chittim assembled and went to the city of Sabinah, and each man took a young woman from the daughters of Tubal, and they came to their cities.

10 And the children of Tubal heard of it and they went to make war with them, and they could not prevail over them, for the mountain was exceedingly high from them, and when they saw they could not prevail over them they returned to their land.

11 And at the revolution of the year the children of Tubal went and hired about ten thousand men from those cities that were near them, and they went to war with the children of Chittim.

12 And the children of Tubal went to war with the children of Chittim, to destroy their land and to distress them, and in this engagement the children of Tubal prevailed over the children of Chittim, and the children of Chittim, seeing that they were greatly distressed, lifted up the children which they had had by the daughters of Tubal, upon the wall which had been built, to be before the eyes of the children of Tubal.

13 And the children of Chittim said to them, Have you come to make war with your own sons and daughters, and have we not been considered your flesh and bones from that time till now?

14 And when the children of Tubal heard this they ceased to make war with the children of Chittim, and they went away.

15 And they returned to their cities, and the children of Chittim at that time assembled and built two cities by the sea, and they called one Purtu and the other Ariza.

Covenant of circumcision

Genesis 17:1 ​​ And when Abram was ninety years old and nine (99), Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God (El Shaddai); walk before Me, and be you perfect (undefiled).

​​ 17:2 ​​ And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.

The covenants were made to Abram and his descendants. The “churches” teach that everybody can be a part of these covenants and promises. But Yahweh made this exclusive to the posterity of Abraham.

​​ 17:3 ​​ And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

​​ 17:4 ​​ As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shalt be a father (the forefather) of many nations.

Forefather is H1 ab, meaning head or founder of a household, group, family or clan. Ancestor. Originator.

The many nations are the nations that came from the 12 tribes of Jacob.

Nations here is also from H1471. Yahweh did not make Abram the father of many Gentiles!

​​ 17:5 ​​ Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made you.

​​ 17:6 ​​ And I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.

​​ 17:7 ​​ And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto you, and to your seed after you.

If Yahweh let everybody else into this covenant, why is He promising this to Abraham's descendants only? The “churches” teach lies. The covenant is exclusive.

Galatians 3:17 ​​ And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after (the call of Abraham), cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

​​ 17:8 ​​ And I will give unto you, and to your seed after you, the land wherein you art a stranger (sojourning), all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

​​ 17:9 ​​ And God said unto Abraham, You shalt keep My covenant therefore, you, and your seed after you in their generations.

​​ 17:10 ​​ This is My covenant, which ye shall keep, between Me and you and your seed after you; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

Acts 7:8 ​​ And He gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.

​​ 17:11 ​​ And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token (sign) of the covenant betwixt Me and you.

​​ 17:12 ​​ And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger (son of an unknown), which is not of your seed.

Stranger here is nekar. ​​ 

​​ 17:13 ​​ He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your money, must needs be circumcised: and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

​​ 17:14 ​​ And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken My covenant.

Uncircumcised H6189, and means possessor of foreskin. David called the Philistines this. It is a derogatory phrase.

​​ 17:15 ​​ And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

​​ 17:16 ​​ And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

Sarah is not the mother of Gentiles, she is the mother of nations. Israelite nations.

​​ 17:17 ​​ Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

Laughed is yitschaq, Isaac. ​​ 

Laughed is H6711, tsachaq.

Yitschaq is H3327. From H6711.

​​ 17:18 ​​ And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before you!

Abraham is upset that Ishmael, his firstborn, is passed by.

​​ 17:19 ​​ And God said, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed; and you shalt call his name Isaac (H3327): and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

​​ 17:20 ​​ And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

Ishmael was blessed, he was the father of twelve Arab tribes, but no covenants or promises were given to him and his seed.

Yahweh does the choosing. Isaac is the chosen line.

​​ 17:21 ​​ But My covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto you at this set (appointed) time in the next year.

​​ 17:22 ​​ And He left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

​​ 17:23 ​​ And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

Jasher 18:2 And there was not one left whom he did not circumcise, and Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin; thirteen years old was Ishmael when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

​​ 17:24 ​​ And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

​​ 17:25 ​​ And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

​​ 17:26 ​​ In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

​​ 17:27 ​​ And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger (sons of unknown), were circumcised with him.

Stranger here is nekar.

The exclusivity of the promises and covenants to Abraham are undeniable.

Circumcision was the foreshadow of the Levitical blood rituals. This was the first blood sacrifices of our ancestors for the sin of Adam and Eve.

Jasher 18:3 And in the third day Abraham went out of his tent and sat at the door to enjoy the heat of the sun, during the pain of his flesh.

The three visitors

Josephus 1.11:2 When God had thus resolved concerning the Sodomites, Abraham, as he sat by the oak of Mambre, at the door of his tent, saw three angels; and thinking them to be strangers, he rose up, and saluted them, and desired they would accept of an entertainment, and abide with him; to which, when they agreed, he ordered cakes of meal to be made presently;

and when he had slain a calf, he roasted it, and brought it to them, as they sat under the oak. Now they made a show of eating; and besides, they asked him about his wife Sarah, where she was; and when he said she was within, they said they would come again hereafter, and find her become a mother.

Upon which the woman laughed, and said that it was impossible she should bear children, since she was ninety years of age, and her husband was a hundred. Then they concealed themselves no longer, but declared that they were angels of God; and that one of them was sent to inform them about the child, and two of the overthrow of Sodom.

Abraham's plea

Genesis 18:1 ​​ And Yahweh appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

​​ 18:2 ​​ And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

Men here is iysh. These three men are sent by Yahweh, and likely are angels (messengers).

Some of the definitions of iysh are, male, steward, worthy, high (degree).

Note: Only 2 of these men arrive in Sodom and Gomorrah. One of these 3 'men' is Yahweh in the form of a man (verse 1).

Hebrews 13:2 ​​ Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

1Peter 4:9 ​​ Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

​​ 18:3 ​​ And said, My Master, if now I have found favour in your sight, pass not away, I pray you, from your servant:

​​ 18:4 ​​ Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

Yahshua Christ washed the apostles feet. We are a servant race.

​​ 18:5 ​​ And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as you hast said.

​​ 18:6 ​​ And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

​​ 18:7 ​​ And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.

Man here is na'ar. A lad, a young servant. Eliezer (Jasher 18:6).

​​ 18:8 ​​ And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

The Jews teach that your not supposed to mix milk with meat. The Jews are descendants of Cain and Esau.

Verse eight is a custom of the Hebrews. Jews are NOT Hebrews. They are Canaanites and Edomites.

​​ 18:9 ​​ And they said unto him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

​​ 18:10 ​​ And he said, I will certainly return unto you according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah your wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.

Abraham was restored to sexual vitality so Sarah could conceive.

​​ 18:11 ​​ Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.  ​​​​ 

Menstruation has stopped long ago.

Romans 4:19 ​​ And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:

​​ 18:12 ​​ Therefore Sarah laughed (H6711 tsachaq) within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

1Peter 5:6 ​​ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time:

​​ 18:13 ​​ And Yahweh said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh (H6711 tsachaq), saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?

​​ 18:14 ​​ Is any thing too hard for Yahweh? At the time appointed I will return unto you, according to the time of life (strength), and Sarah shall have a son.

Luke 1:37 ​​ For with God nothing shall be impossible.

​​ 18:15 ​​ Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed (H6711 tsachaq) not; for she was afraid. And He said, Nay; but you didst laugh (H6711 tsachaq).

Isaac means laughter H6711. ​​ Isaac's name comes from H6711, as H3327 yitschaq (Isaac).

Sarah (noble woman H8283) comes from the root word H8282 meaning princess.

​​ 18:16 ​​ And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

​​ 18:17 ​​ And Yahweh said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

​​ 18:18 ​​ Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth (land) shall be blessed in him?

Again, H1471, nations. A nation of people, from the loins of Abraham.

The KJV is selective to when they use Gentiles, which is H1471 also. It is to deceive you. The only meaning of Gentiles is, nations. Any nation of people. Even Jews.

​​ 18:19 ​​ For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Yahweh, to do justice and judgment; that Yahweh may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him.

Christianity used to be called The Way.

Now with all these denominations, there are many ways. And none are Yahweh's Way!

​​ 18:20 ​​ And Yahweh said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

Cry here in verse 20 is za'aq ze'aqah, which means outcry.

​​ 18:21 ​​ I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto Me; and if not, I will know.

Cry here is tsa'aqah, meaning to shriek. Much more emphatic.

​​ 18:22 ​​ And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Yahweh.

Yahweh remains to 'commune' with Abraham. The other two went to Sodom.

Jasher 18:11-43

11 In those days all the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, and of the whole five cities, were exceedingly wicked and sinful against Yahweh and they provoked Yahweh with their abominations, and they strengthened in aging abominably and scornfully before Yahweh, and their wickedness and crimes were in those days great before Yahweh.

12 And they had in their land a very extensive valley, about half a day's walk, and in it there were fountains of water and a great deal of herbage surrounding the water.

13 And all the people of Sodom and Gomorrah went there four times in the year, with their wives and children and all belonging to them, and they rejoiced there with timbrels and dances.

14 And in the time of rejoicing they would all rise and lay hold of their neighbor's wives, and some, the virgin daughters of their neighbors, and they enjoyed them, and each man saw his wife and daughter in the hands of his neighbor and did not say a word.

15 And they did so from morning to night, and they afterward returned home each man to his house and each woman to her tent; so they always did four times in the year.

16 Also when a stranger came into their cities and brought goods which he had purchased with a view to dispose of there, the people of these cities would assemble, men, women and children, young and old, and go to the man and take his goods by force, giving a little to each man until there was an end to all the goods of the owner which he had brought into the land.

17 And if the owner of the goods quarreled with them, saying, What is this work which you have done to me, then they would approach to him one by one, and each would show him the little which he took and taunt him, saying, I only took that little which you didst give me; and when he heard this from them all, he would arise and go from them in sorrow and bitterness of soul, when they would all arise and go after him, and drive him out of the city with great noise and tumult.

18 And there was a man from the country of Elam who was leisurely going on the road, seated upon his ass, which carried a fine mantle of divers colors, and the mantle was bound with a cord upon the ass.

19 And the man was on his journey passing through the street of Sodom when the sun set in the evening, and he remained there in order to abide during the night, but no one would let him into his house; and at that time there was in Sodom a wicked and mischievous man, one skillful to do evil, and his name was Hedad.

20 And he lifted up his eyes and saw the traveler in the street of the city, and he came to him and said, Whence comest you and whither dost you go?

21 And the man said to him, I am traveling from Hebron to Elam where I belong, and as I passed the sun set and no one would suffer me to enter his house, though I had bread and water and also straw and provender for my ass, and am short of nothing.

22 And Hedad answered and said to him, All that you shalt want shall be supplied by me, but in the street you shalt not abide all night.

23 And Hedad brought him to his house, and he took off the mantle from the ass with the cord, and brought them to his house, and he gave the ass straw and provender whilst the traveler ate and drank in Hedad's house, and he abode there that night.

24 And in the morning the traveler rose up early to continue his journey, when Hedad said to him, Wait, comfort your heart with a morsel of bread and then go, and the man did so; and he remained with him, and they both ate and drank together during the day, when the man rose up to go.

25 And Hedad said to him, Behold now the day is declining, you hadst better remain all night that your heart may be comforted; and he pressed him so that he tarried there all night, and on the second day he rose up early to go away, when Hedad pressed him, saying, Comfort your heart with a morsel of bread and then go, and he remained and ate with him also the second day, and then the man rose up to continue his journey.

26 And Hedad said to him, Behold now the day is declining, remain with me to comfort your heart and in the morning rise up early and go your way.

27 And the man would not remain, but rose and saddled his ass, and whilst he was saddling his ass the wife of Hedad said to her husband, Behold this man has remained with us for two days eating and drinking and he has given us nothing, and now shall he go away from us without giving anything? and Hedad said to her, Be silent.

28 And the man saddled his ass to go, and he asked Hedad to give him the cord and mantle to tie it upon the ass.

29 And Hedad said to him, What sayest you? And he said to him, That you my lord shalt give me the cord and the mantle made with divers colors which you didst conceal with you in your house to take care of it.

30 And Hedad answered the man, saying, This is the interpretation of your dream, the cord which you didst see, means that your life will be lengthened out like a cord, and having seen the mantle colored with all sorts of colors, means that you shalt have a vineyard in which you wilt plant trees of all fruits.

31 And the traveler answered, saying, Not so my lord, for I was awake when I gave you the cord and also a mantle woven with different colors, which you didst take off the ass to put them by for me; and Hedad answered and said, Surely I have told you the interpretation of your dream and it is a good dream, and this is the interpretation thereof.

32 Now the sons of Adam give me four pieces of silver, which is my charge for interpreting dreams, and of you only I require three pieces of silver.

33 And the man was provoked at the words of Hedad, and he cried bitterly, and he brought Hedad to Serak judge of Sodom.

34 And the man laid his cause before Serak the judge, when Hedad replied, saying, It is not so, but thus the matter stands; and the judge said to the traveler, This man Hedad telleth you truth, for he is famed in the cities for the accurate interpretation of dreams.

35 And the man cried at the word of the judge, and he said, Not so my lord, for it was in the day that I gave him the cord and mantle which was upon the ass, in order to put them by in his house; and they both disputed before the judge, the one saying, Thus the matter was, and the other declaring otherwise.

36 And Hedad said to the man, Give me four pieces of silver that I charge for my interpretations of dreams; I will not make any allowance; and give me the expense of the four meals that you didst eat in my house.

37 And the man said to Hedad, Truly I will pay you for what I ate in your house, only give me the cord and mantle which you didst conceal in your house.

38 And Hedad replied before the judge and said to the man, Did I not tell you the interpretation of your dream? the cord means that your days shall be prolonged like a cord, and the mantle, that you wilt have a vineyard in which you wilt plant all kinds of fruit trees.

39 This is the proper interpretation of your dream, now give me the four pieces of silver that I require as a compensation, for I will make you no allowance.

40 And the man cried at the words of Hedad and they both quarreled before the judge, and the judge gave orders to his servants, who drove them rashly from the house.

41 And they went away quarreling from the judge, when the people of Sodom heard them, and they gathered about them and they exclaimed against the stranger, and they drove him rashly from the city.

42 And the man continued his journey upon his ass with bitterness of soul, lamenting and weeping.

43 And whilst he was going along he wept at what had happened to him in the corrupt city of Sodom.

Jasher 19:1-45

1 And the cities of Sodom had four judges to four cities, and these were their names, Serak in the city of Sodom, Sharkad in Gomorrah, Zabnac in Admah, and Menon in Zeboyim.

2 And Eliezer Abraham's servant applied to them different names, and he converted Serak to Shakra, Sharkad to Shakrura, Zebnac to Kezobim, and Menon to Matzlodin.

3 And by desire of their four judges the people of Sodom and Gomorrah had beds erected in the streets of the cities, and if a man came to these places they laid hold of him and brought him to one of their beds, and by force made him to lie in them.

4 And as he lay down, three men would stand at his head and three at his feet, and measure him by the length of the bed, and if the man was less than the bed these six men would stretch him at each end, and when he cried out to them they would not answer him.

5 And if he was longer than the bed they would draw together the two sides of the bed at each end, until the man had reached the gates of death.

6 And if he continued to cry out to them, they would answer him, saying, Thus shall it be done to a man that cometh into our land.

7 And when men heard all these things that the people of the cities of Sodom did, they refrained from coming there.

8 And when a poor man came to their land they would give him silver and gold, and cause a proclamation in the whole city not to give him a morsel of bread to eat, and if the stranger should remain there some days, and die from hunger, not having been able to obtain a morsel of bread, then at his death all the people of the city would come and take their silver and gold which they had given to him.

9 And those that could recognize the silver or gold which they had given him took it back, and at his death they also stripped him of his garments, and they would fight about them, and he that prevailed over his neighbor took them.

10 They would after that carry him and bury him under some of the shrubs in the deserts; so they did all the days to any one that came to them and died in their land.

11 And in the course of time Sarah sent Eliezer to Sodom, to see Lot and inquire after his welfare.

12 And Eliezer went to Sodom, and he met a man of Sodom fighting with a stranger, and the man of Sodom stripped the poor man of all his clothes and went away.

13 And this poor man cried to Eliezer and supplicated his favor on account of what the man of Sodom had done to him.

14 And he said to him, Why dost you act thus to the poor man who came to your land?

15 And the man of Sodom answered Eliezer, saying, Is this man your brother, or have the people of Sodom made you a judge this day, that you speakest about this man?

16 And Eliezer strove with the man of Sodom on account of the poor man, and when Eliezer approached to recover the poor man's clothes from the man of Sodom, he hastened and with a stone smote Eliezer in the forehead.

17 And the blood flowed copiously from Eliezer's forehead, and when the man saw the blood he caught hold of Eliezer, saying, Give me my hire for having rid you of this bad blood that was in your forehead, for such is the custom and the law in our land.

18 And Eliezer said to him, Thou hast wounded me and requirest me to pay you your hire; and Eliezer would not hearken to the words of the man of Sodom.

19 And the man laid hold of Eliezer and brought him to Shakra the judge of Sodom for judgment.

20 And the man spoke to the judge, saying, I beseech you my lord, thus has this man done, for I smote him with a stone that the blood flowed from his forehead, and he is unwilling to give me my hire.

21 And the judge said to Eliezer, This man speaketh truth to you, give him his hire, for this is the custom in our land; and Eliezer heard the words of the judge, and he lifted up a stone and smote the judge, and the stone struck on his forehead, and the blood flowed copiously from the forehead of the judge, and Eliezer said, If this then is the custom in your land give you unto this man what I should have given him, for this has been your decision, you didst decree it.

22 And Eliezer left the man of Sodom with the judge, and he went away.

23 And when the kings of Elam had made war with the kings of Sodom, the kings of Elam captured all the property of Sodom, and they took Lot captive, with his property, and when it was told to Abraham he went and made war with the kings of Elam, and he recovered from their hands all the property of Lot as well as the property of Sodom.

24 At that time the wife of Lot bare him a daughter, and he called her name Paltith, saying, Because God had delivered him and his whole household from the kings of Elam; and Paltith daughter of Lot grew up, and one of the men of Sodom took her for a wife.

25 And a poor man came into the city to seek a maintenance, and he remained in the city some days, and all the people of Sodom caused a proclamation of their custom not to give this man a morsel of bread to eat, until he dropped dead upon the ground, and they did so.

26 And Paltith the daughter of Lot saw this man lying in the streets starved with hunger, and no one would give him any thing to keep him alive, and he was just upon the point of death.

27 And her soul was filled with pity on account of the man, and she fed him secretly with bread for many days, and the soul of this man was revived.

28 For when she went forth to fetch water she would put the bread in the water pitcher, and when she came to the place where the poor man was, she took the bread from the pitcher and gave it him to eat; so she did many days.

29 And all the people of Sodom and Gomorrah wondered how this man could bear starvation for so many days.

30 And they said to each other, This can only be that he eats and drinks, for no man can bear starvation for so many days or live as this man has, without even his countenance changing; and three men concealed themselves in a place where the poor man was stationed, to know who it was that brought him bread to eat.

31 And Paltith daughter of Lot went forth that day to fetch water, and she put bread into her pitcher of water, and she went to draw water by the poor man's place, and she took out the bread from the pitcher and gave it to the poor man and he ate it.

32 And the three men saw what Paltith did to the poor man, and they said to her, It is you then who hast supported him, and therefore has he not starved, nor changed in appearance nor died like the rest.

33 And the three men went out of the place in which they were concealed, and they seized Paltith and the bread which was in the poor man's hand.

34 And they took Paltith and brought her before their judges, and they said to them, Thus did she do, and it is she who supplied the poor man with bread, therefore did he not die all this time; now therefore declare to us the punishment due to this woman for having transgressed our law.

35 And the people of Sodom and Gomorrah assembled and kindled a fire in the street of the city, and they took the woman and cast her into the fire and she was burned to ashes.

36 And in the city of Admah there was a woman to whom they did the like.

37 For a traveler came into the city of Admah to abide there all night, with the intention of going home in the morning, and he sat opposite the door of the house of the young woman's father, to remain there, as the sun had set when be had reached that place; and the young woman saw him sitting by the door of the house.

38 And he asked her for a drink of water and she said to him, Who art you? and he said to her, I was this day going on the road, and reached here when the sun set, so I will abide here all night, and in the morning I will arise early and continue my journey.

39 And the young woman went into the house and fetched the man bread and water to eat and drink.

40 And this affair became known to the people of Admah, and they assembled and brought the young woman before the judges, that they should judge her for this act.

41 And the judge said, The judgment of death must pass upon this woman because she transgressed our law, and this therefore is the decision concerning her.

42 And the people of those cities assembled and brought out the young woman, and anointed her with honey from head to foot, as the judge had decreed, and they placed her before a swarm of bees which were then in their hives, and the bees flew upon her and stung her that her whole body was swelled.

43 And the young woman cried out on account of the bees, but no one took notice of her or pitied her, and her cries ascended to the sky.

44 And Yahweh was provoked at this and at all the works of the cities of Sodom, for they had abundance of food, and had tranquility amongst them, and still would not sustain the poor and the needy, and in those days their evil doings and sins became great before Yahweh.

45 And Yahweh sent for two of the messengers that had come to Abraham's house, to destroy Sodom and its cities.

​​ 18:23 ​​ And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

Because he knew that Lot and his family lived there.

​​ 18:24 ​​ Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt You also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

​​ 18:25 ​​ That be far from you to do after this manner (That is not Your Way), to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from you (that is not Your Way): Shall not the Judge of all the earth (land) do right?

​​ 18:26 ​​ And Yahweh said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

Jeremiah 5:1 ​​ Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

Ezekiel 22:30 ​​ And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

​​ 18:27 ​​ And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto Yahweh, which am but dust and ashes:

​​ 18:28 ​​ Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt You destroy all the city for lack of five? And He said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

​​ 18:29 ​​ And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And He said, I will not do it for forty's sake.

​​ 18:30 ​​ And he said unto Him, Oh let not Yahweh be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And He said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

​​ 18:31 ​​ And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto Yahweh: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.

​​ 18:32 ​​ And he said, Oh let not Yahweh be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

​​ 18:33 ​​ And Yahweh went His way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

Sodom and Gomorrah

Lot and his daughters

Genesis 19:1 ​​ And there came two angels (messengers) to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

​​ 19:2 ​​ And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street (public square) all night.

Lot knows the perversion of Sodom and asks the men to stay in his house for protection.

​​ 19:3 ​​ And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

​​ 19:4 ​​ But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

The perverts surround Lot's house.

Men here is enosh (H582), wicked, mortal (and thus differing from the more dignified H120 awdawm)

​​ 19:5 ​​ And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to you this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

Know has a sexual connotation. The men of Sodom are homosexuals.

Isaiah 3:9 ​​ The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

Do you think Yahweh delights in gay parades?!!

​​ 19:6 ​​ And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

​​ 19:7 ​​ And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

​​ 19:8 ​​ Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow (protection) of my roof.

Judges 19:22 ​​ Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.

23 ​​ And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly. ​​ This guest was a Levite, a priest. Also threatened by homosexuals.

Apparently this was a custom, to protect your guests. It also may show that priests and divine messengers are to be protected first.

​​ 19:9 ​​ And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with you, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

The Hebrew has: 9 ​​ And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one (Lot) came to live here, and he thinks he is a judge: now we will do worse to you than to them...

​​ 19:10 ​​ But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

​​ 19:11 ​​ And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

​​ 19:12 ​​ And the men (messengers) said unto Lot, Hast you here any besides (do you have more family here)? son in law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whatsoever you hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

​​ 19:13 ​​ For we will destroy this place, because the cry (shrieking, outcry) of them is waxen great before the face of Yahweh; and Yahweh hath sent us to destroy it.

​​ 19:14 ​​ And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for Yahweh will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

They did not believe him and preferred the wicked society. Just like everybody today.

Numbers 16:21 ​​ Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

Better not hang out with the wicked.

​​ 19:15 ​​ And when the morning arose, then the angels (messengers) hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters, which are here; lest you be consumed in the (punishment of) iniquity of the city.

Revelation 18:4 ​​ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

​​ 19:16 ​​ And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; Yahweh being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

2Peter 2:7 ​​ And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

​​ 19:17 ​​ And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for your life; look not behind you, neither stay you in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.

Matthew 24:16 ​​ Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 ​​ Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 ​​ Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

​​ 19:18 ​​ And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Elohiym :

​​ 19:19 ​​ Behold now, your servant hath found grace (favor) in your sight, and you hast magnified your mercy, which you hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest (as) some evil (calamity) take me, and I die:

​​ 19:20 ​​ Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little (petty) one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little (petty) one?) and my soul shall live.

​​ 19:21 ​​ And He said unto him, See, I have accepted you concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which you hast spoken.

​​ 19:22 ​​ Haste you, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till you be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

​​ 19:23 ​​ The sun was risen upon the earth (land) when Lot entered into Zoar.

​​ 19:24 ​​ Then Yahweh rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Yahweh out of heaven (the sky);

​​ 19:25 ​​ And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

3Maccabees 2:5 ​​ It was You who didst make the Sodomites, those workers of exceeding iniquity, men notorious for their vices, an example to after generations, when You didst cover them with fire and brimstone.

2Peter 2:6 ​​ And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

Jude 1:7 ​​ Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Psalm 107:34 ​​ A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

​​ 19:26 ​​ But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Wisdom 10:7 ​​ Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.

Luke 17:29 ​​ But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 ​​ Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31 ​​ In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 ​​ Remember Lot's wife.

Jasher 19:52-54

52 And He overthrew these cities, all the plain and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground; and Ado the wife of Lot looked back to see the destruction of the cities, for her compassion was moved on account of her daughters who remained in Sodom, for they did not go with her.

53 And when she looked back she became a pillar of salt, and it is yet in that place unto this day.

54 And the oxen which stood in that place daily licked up the salt to the extremities of their feet, and in the morning it would spring forth afresh, and they again licked it up unto this day.

55 And Lot and two of his daughters that remained with him fled and escaped to the cave of Adullam, and they remained there for some time.

​​ 19:27 ​​ And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before Yahweh:

​​ 19:28 ​​ And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

​​ 19:29 ​​ And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

​​ 19:30 ​​ And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

​​ 19:31 ​​ And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth (land) to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth (land):

​​ 19:32 ​​ Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

​​ 19:33 ​​ And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

​​ 19:34 ​​ And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go you in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

​​ 19:35 ​​ And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

​​ 19:36 ​​ Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

​​ 19:37 ​​ And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father (forefather) of the Moabites unto this day.

​​ 19:38 ​​ And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father (forefather) of the children of Ammon unto this day.

Moab means 'from her father'. Benammi means 'inbred'. Just like Ham's son Canaan, the seed of incest is a cursed seed. Canaan means humiliated.

Jasher 19:60 And after this Lot and his two daughters went away from there, and he dwelt on the other side of the Jordan with his two daughters and their sons, and the sons of Lot grew up, and they went and took themselves wives from the land of Canaan, and they begat children and they were fruitful and multiplied.

Abraham and Abimelech

Genesis 20:1 ​​ And Abraham journeyed from thence (the plain of Mamre) toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar (land of the Philistines).

The south country (negeb) was the region that Judah would later inherit.

Jasher 20:2 And when they entered the land he said to Sarah his wife, Say you art my sister, to any one that shall ask you, in order that we may escape the evil of the inhabitants of the land.

3 And as Abraham was dwelling in the land of the Philistines, the servants of Abimelech, king of the Philistines, saw that Sarah was exceedingly beautiful, and they asked Abraham concerning her, and he said, She is my sister.

4 And the servants of Abimelech went to Abimelech, saying, A man from the land of Canaan is come to dwell in the land, and he has a sister that is exceeding fair.

5 And Abimelech heard the words of his servants who praised Sarah to him, and Abimelech sent his officers, and they brought Sarah to the king.

​​ 20:2 ​​ And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

Jasher 20:7-12

7 And he approached her and said to her, What is that man to you with whom you didst come to our land? and Sarah answered and said He is my brother, and we came from the land of Canaan to dwell wherever we could find a place.

8 And Abimelech said to Sarah, Behold my land is before you, place your brother in any part of this land that pleases you, and it will be our duty to exalt and elevate him above all the people of the land since he is your brother.

9 And Abimelech sent for Abraham, and Abraham came to Abimelech.

10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, Behold I have given orders that you shalt be honored as you desirest on account of your sister Sarah.

11 And Abraham went forth from the king, and the king's present followed him.

12 As at evening time, before men lie down to rest, the king was sitting upon his throne, and a deep sleep fell upon him, and he lay upon the throne and slept till morning.

​​ 20:3 ​​ But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you art but a dead man, for the woman which you hast taken; for she is a man's wife.

Psalm 105:14 ​​ He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, He reproved kings for their sakes;

Jasher 20:13 And he dreamed that a messenger of Yahweh came to him with a drawn sword in his hand, and the messenger stood over Abimelech, and wished to slay him with the sword, and the king was terrified in his dream, and said to the messenger, In what have I sinned against you that you comest to slay me with your sword?

14 And the messenger answered and said to Abimelech, Behold you diest on account of the woman which you didst yesternight bring to your house, for she is a married woman, the wife of Abraham who came to your house; now therefore return that man his wife, for she is his wife; and shouldst you not return her, know that you wilt surely die, you and all belonging to you.

15 And on that night there was a great outcry in the land of the Philistines, and the inhabitants of the land saw the figure of a man standing with a drawn sword in his hand, and he smote the inhabitants of the land with the sword, yea he continued to smite them.

16 And the messenger of Yahweh smote the whole land of the Philistines on that night, and there was a great confusion on that night and on the following morning.

17 And every womb was closed, and all their issues, and the hand of Yahweh was upon them on account of Sarah, wife of Abraham, whom Abimelech had taken.

18 And in the morning Abimelech rose with terror and confusion and with a great dread, and he sent and had his servants called in, and he related his dream to them, and the people were greatly afraid.

19 And one man standing amongst the servants of the king answered the king, saying, O sovereign king, restore this woman to her husband, for he is her husband, for the like happened to the king of Egypt when this man came to Egypt.

20 And he said concerning his wife, She is my sister, for such is his manner of doing when he cometh to dwell in the land in which he is a stranger.

21 And Pharaoh sent and took this woman for a wife and Yahweh brought upon him grievous plagues until he returned the woman to her husband.

22 Now therefore, O sovereign king, know what happened yesternight to the whole land, for there was a very great consternation and great pain and lamentation, and we know that it was on account of the woman which you didst take.

23 Now, therefore, restore this woman to her husband, lest it should befall us as it did to Pharaoh king of Egypt and his subjects, and that we may not die; and Abimelech hastened and called and had Sarah called for, and she came before him, and he had Abraham called for, and he came before him.

​​ 20:4 ​​ But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Yahweh, wilt You slay also a righteous nation?

​​ 20:5 ​​ Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.

It is evident that Abimelech was an Adamite.

​​ 20:6 ​​ And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that you didst this in the integrity of your heart; for I also withheld you from sinning against Me: therefore suffered I you not to touch her.

Touch is naga, the same word as in Gen 3:3. It means to lie with a woman sexually.

​​ 20:7 ​​ Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shalt live: and if you restore her not, know you that you shalt surely die, you, ​​ and all that are yours.

​​ 20:8 ​​ Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.

​​ 20:9 ​​ Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast you done unto us? and what have I offended you, that you hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? you hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.

​​ 20:10 ​​ And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest you, that you hast done this thing?

​​ 20:11 ​​ And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

​​ 20:12 ​​ And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

​​ 20:13 ​​ And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is your kindness which you shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

​​ 20:14 ​​ And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

​​ 20:15 ​​ And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you: dwell where it pleaseth you.

​​ 20:16 ​​ And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to you a covering (veil) of the eyes, unto all that are with you, and with all other: thus she was reproved.

Reproved should be justified, which indicates that the debt is now settled between Abraham and Abimelech.

Jasher 20:27 And Abraham and Sarah, his wife, went forth from the king's presence with honor and respect, and they dwelt in the land, even in Gerar.

28 And all the inhabitants of the land of the Philistines and the king's servants were still in pain, through the plague which the messenger had inflicted upon them the whole night on account of Sarah.

29 And Abimelech sent for Abraham, saying, Pray now for your servants to Yahweh your God, that He may put away this mortality from amongst us.
