Bereishit in english
from Efrayimbenshalom
Elohim creates the world in six days. In the first he creates light and darkness. In the second he forms the heavens, dividing between the "upper waters" and the "lower waters". In the third, he establishes the limits of the land and the sea and calls the trees and grasses to emerge from the earth. On the fourth day he fixes the position of the sun, the moon and the stars as signs to calculate the time and as luminaries for the earth. The fish, birds and reptiles are created on the fifth day; land animals, and then the human being in the sixth. Elohim finishes His work on the seventh day, and hallows it as a day of rest. Elohim forms the human being from the dust of the earth and blows into his nostrils "a living soul." Man is originally one person; but deciding that "it is not good for the man to be alone," Elohim takes one "side" of the man, transforms him into a woman, and marries them to one another. Adam and Java are placed in Gan Eden and are commanded not to eat from the "Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil". The serpent persuades Chavah to violate the command, and she shares the forbidden fruit with her husband. Due to his sin, Elohim decrees that man will experience death, returning to the ground from which he was formed; and that all gain will come only through hard work and hardship. The man is thrown out of the Garden. Java has two sons, Cain and Hevel. Cain argues with Hevel, kills him and becomes a nomad. Adam has a third son, Shet, whose tenth-generation descendant, Noah, is the only righteous man in a corrupt world.
