The Creation
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was without form and empty; and darkness was over the face of the deep,[1] and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
First Creation Day
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Second Creation Day
6 And God went on to say, "Let there be an expanse[2] in the middle of the waters, and let there be a separation between the waters and the waters." 7And God went on to make the expanse, and make a separation between the waters, which were under the expanse and between the waters, which were above the expanse: and it came to be so. 8 And God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
Third Creation Day
9 And God went on to say, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 And God went on to say, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
Fourth Creation Day
14 And God went on to say, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so. 16 And God went on to make the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
Fifth Creation Day
20 And God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens." 21 So God went on to create[3] the great sea creatures and every living soul that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
Sixth Creation Day
24 And God went on to say, "Let the earth bring forth living souls according to their kinds, livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds." And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 And God went on to say, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth[4] and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." 29 And God went on to say, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is a living soul, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. 2 And by the seventh day God completed his work[5] which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.
4 This is the history[6] of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah[7] God made earth and heaven.
The Creation of Man and Woman
5 Now no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up, for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground.[8] 6 But there went up a mist[9] from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 Then Jehovah God formed man[10] of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;[11] and man became a living soul. 8 And Jehovah God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground Jehovah God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Now a river flowed out[12] of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.[13] 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria.[14] And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 And Jehovah God took the man and set him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to keep it. 16 And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, "From every tree of the garden you may freely eat, 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat,[15] for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die."[16]
18 Then Jehovah God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper for him.[17] 19 And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man called every living soul, that was its name. 20 And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was found no helper as a counterpart of him. 21 So Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 And the rib that Jehovah God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said,
"This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man."
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall be as one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
The Temptation and the Fall of Man
3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, "Did God actually say, 'You[18] shall not eat of any tree in the garden'?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat, 3 but from the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God said, 'You shall not eat from it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'" 4 And the serpent said to the woman, "You shall not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." knowing good and evil.
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desirable to make one wise, and she took of its fruit and ate, then she also gave some to her husband when with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.
The Costs of Sin
8 Then they heard the sound[19] of Jehovah God walking in the garden at the wind[20] of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then Jehovah God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?" 10 And he said, "I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself." 11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?" 12 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate." 13 Then Jehovah God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" And the woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
14 Jehovah God said to the serpent,
"Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your seed and her seed;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel."
16 To the woman he said,
"I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
in pain you shall bring forth children.
Your desire shall be for your husband,
and he shall rule over you."
17 And to Adam he said,
"Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
of which I commanded you,
'You shall not eat of it,'
cursed is the ground because of you;
in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return."
20 Now the man called his wife's name Eve,[21] because she was the mother of all living. 21 And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. 22 Then Jehovah God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil; and in order that he may not put his hand out and take fruit also from the tree of life and eat and live forever." 23 Therefore Jehovah God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. 24 So he drove the man out, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.
Cain and Abel
4 Now the man knew[22] Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain,[23] and said, "I have gotten a man with the help of Jehovah." 2 And again she bore[24] his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in the course of time[25] Cain brought to Jehovah an offering of the fruit of the ground. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And Jehovah had regard for Abel and his offering; 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell.[26] 6 Then Jehovah said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will there not be a lifting up?[27] And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it."
8 Cain said to Abel his brother. "Let us go out into the field."[28] And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
9 Then Jehovah[29] said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?" 10 He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground. 11 Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth." 13 Cain said to Jehovah, "My punishment is greater than I can bear! 14 Behold, you have driven me today away from the ground, and from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." 15 So Jehovah said to him, "Not so![30] Whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." And Jehovah put a mark on Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him.
16 Then Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod,[31] east of Eden.
17 Cain had sexual relations[32] with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son, Enoch. 18 Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech. 19 And Lamech took two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 21 His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. 22 As for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 Lamech said to his wives,
"Adah and Zillah,
Listen to my voice,
You wives of Lamech,
Give heed to my speech,
For I have killed a man for wounding me;
And a boy for striking me;
24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold,
Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold."
25 Adam had sexual relations with his wife again; and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for, she said, "God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him." 26 To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of Jehovah.
Adam's Descendants to Noah
5 This is the book of the history of Adam. In the day when God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man[33] when they were created.
3 When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became[34] the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. 4 Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters. 5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.
6 Seth lived one hundred and five years, and became the father of Enosh. 7 Then Seth lived eight hundred and seven years after he became the father of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters. 8 So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.
9 Enosh lived ninety years, and became the father of Kenan. 10 Then Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after he became the father of Kenan, and he had other sons and daughters. 11 So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years, and he died.
12 Kenan lived seventy years, and became the father of Mahalalel. 13 Then Kenan lived eight hundred and forty years after he became the father of Mahalalel, and he had other sons and daughters. 14 So all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died.
15 Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Jared. 16 Then Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Jared, and he had other sons and daughters. 17 So all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died.
18 Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and became the father of Enoch. 19 Then Jared lived eight hundred years after he became the father of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters. 20 So all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died.
21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah. 22 Then Enoch walked with God[35] three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 Enoch walked with God;[36] and he was not,[37] for God took him.[38]
25 Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and became the father of Lamech. 26 Then Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters. 27 So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died.
28 Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son. 29 Now he called his name Noah,[39] saying, "This one will give us comfort[40] from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which Jehovah has cursed." 30 Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters. 31 So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died.
32 Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
The Corruption of Mankind
6 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons[41] of God[42] saw that the daughters of men were beautiful;[43] and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3 Then Jehovah said, "My Spirit shall not strive[44] with man forever, for he[45] also is flesh; therefore his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4 The Nephilim[46] were on the earth in those days,[47] and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 Then Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart[48] was only evil continually. 6 And Jehovah regretted[49] that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7 Jehovah said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the heavens;[50] for I regret that I have made them." 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
9 This is the history Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless[51] in his generation. Noah walked with God. 10 Noah became[52] the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13 Then God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopher wood.[53] Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. 15 This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits,[54] its breadth fifty cubits,[55] and its height thirty cubits.[56] 16 You shall make a roof[57] for the ark, and finish it to a cubit[58] from the above;[59] and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you. 19 And of all living creatures of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 Of the flying creatures after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you to keep them alive. 21 As for you, take for yourself some of all food which is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be for food for you and for them." 22 And Noah did according to all that God had commanded him. He did just so.
The Flood
7 Then Jehovah said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens,[60] a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, the male and its mate; 3 also of the flying creatures of the heavens by sevens,[61] male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made." 5 And Noah did all that Jehovah had commanded him.
6 Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came[62] upon the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that creeps on the ground, 9 there went into the ark to Noah by twos,[63] male and female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 It came about after the seven days, that the water of the flood came[64] upon the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
13 On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark, 14 they and every beast, according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, according to its kind, and every bird, according to its kind, every winged creature. 15 And they went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. 16 And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And the Lord shut him in.
17 And the flood continued forty days on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 18 The waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face[65] of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed overwhelmingly[66] on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heavens were covered. 20 The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits[67] deep. 21 And every living thing that moved on the earth perished, the birds, and the domesticated animals, and the wild animals, and everything that swarmed on the earth, and all mankind; 22 everything in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life among all that was on dry land, died. 23 And he blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to flying creatures of the heavens, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark. 24 The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.
The Flood Subsides
8 But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2 The fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, 3 and the waters receded from the earth continually, and at the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters had abated. 4 And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 5 And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
6 And it came be at the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made, 7 and he sent forth a raven; it went out, going out and returning until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground, 9 but the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark to himself. 10 And he waited another seven days, and again he sent out the dove from the ark. 11 And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters was abated from the earth. 12 And he waited again another seven days, and he sent out the dove, but it did not return again to him.
13 In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from upon the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dried up. 14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. 15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 "Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you. 17 Bring out with you all the living creatures[68] that is with you of all flesh, flying creatures and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth." 18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him. 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every flying creatures, everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark.
20 Then Noah built an altar to Jehovah and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 Jehovah smelled the soothing aroma; and the Jehovah in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man's heart is evil from his youth;[69] and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done.
22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease."
Covenant of the Rainbow
9 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. 2 The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every living creature of the earth and upon every flying creature of the heavens, upon every creature that moves on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 4 Only flesh with its soul,[70] its blood, you shall not eat 5 And for your blood of your souls[71] I will require back: from every living creature I will require it and from man. From the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the soul[72] of man.
6 "Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God he made man. 7 "And you, be fruitful and multiply, increase abundantly on the earth and multiply in it."
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9 "Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your seed[73] after you, 10 and with every living soul[74] that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, to all the beasts of the earth.[75] 11 I establish my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth." 12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow is seen in the cloud, 15 then I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." 17 And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."
Prophecies about Descendants of Noah
18 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was scattered.[76]
20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard. 21 He drank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned backward,[77] and they did not see their father's nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine,[78] he knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25 And he said,
"Cursed be Canaan;
a slave of slaves[79] shall he be to his brothers."
26 He also said,
"Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem;
and let Canaan be his slave.
27 "May God enlarge Japheth,
and let him dwell in the tents of Shem;
and let Canaan be his slave."
28 Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
Descendants of Noah
10 Now these are the records of the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and sons were born to them after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.[80] 5 From these the coastland peoples spread in their lands, each with his own language, by their clans, in their nations.
6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8 Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man. 9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah.[81] Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah." 10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 13 Mizraim fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.
15 Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth, 16 and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites dispersed. 19 And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon in the direction of Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born. 22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.[82] 24 Arpachshad fathered Shelah;[83] and Shelah fathered Eber. 25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg,[84] for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan. 26 Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 30 The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations; and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
Universal Language, Babel, Confusion
11 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2 And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth." 5 Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men had built. 6 And Jehovah said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another's speech. 8 So Jehovah scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Jehovah confused the language of the whole earth; and from there Jehovah scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.
Descendants of Shem
10 These are the generations of Shem. When Shem was one hundred years old, he fathered Arphaxad, two years after the flood. 11 And Shem lived five hundred years after he fathered Arphaxad, and he fathered other sons and daughters.
12 When Arpachshad had lived thirty-five years,[85] he fathered Shelah. 13 And Arpachshad lived four hundred and three years after he fathered Shelah, and he fathered other sons and daughters.[86]
14 When Shelah had lived thirty years, he fathered Eber. 15 And Shelah lived four hundred and three years after he fathered Eber, and he fathered other sons and daughters.
16 When Eber had lived thirty-four years, he fathered Peleg. 17 And Eber lived four hundred and thirty years after he fathered Peleg, and he fathered other sons and daughters.
18 When Peleg had lived thirty years, he fathered Reu. 19 And Peleg lived two hundred and nine years after he fathered Reu, and he fathered other sons and daughters.
20 When Reu had lived thirty-two years, he fathered Serug. 21 And Reu lived two hundred and seven years after he fathered Serug, and he fathered other sons and daughters.
22 When Serug had lived thirty years, he fathered Nahor. 23 And Serug lived two hundred years after he fathered Nahor, and he fathered other sons and daughters.
24 When Nahor had lived twenty-nine years, he fathered Terah. 25 And Nahor lived one hundred and nineteen years after he fathered Terah, and he fathered other sons and daughters.
26 When Terah had lived seventy years, he fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran, and Haran fathered Lot. 28 Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans. 29 And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of the wife of Abram was Sarai, and the name of the wife of Nahor was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and Iscah. 30 Now Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 Terah took Abram his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, the wife of Abram his son, and went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan. And they went to Haran, and they settled there. 32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.
Abram Leaves Haran for Canaan
12 Now Jehovah said to Abram, "Go out from your land and from your relatives, and from the house of your father, to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
4 So Abram went, as Jehovah had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot the son of his brother, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the souls that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan. 6 Abram traveled through the land up to the place of Shechem, to the Oak[87] of Moreh. Now the Canaanites were in the land. 7 Jehovah appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land." So he built there an altar to Jehovah, who had appeared to him. 8 From there he moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to Jehovah and called upon the name of the Jehovah. 9 And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.
[1] I.e. watery deep, an area below the surface of bodies of water
[2] Expanse: (Heb., raqia) is the atmosphere surrounding earth the space above the earth that contains the clouds, planets, and stars. It is where the birds fly and the luminaries reside. God began to call the expanse heaven (or sky). The Psalmist tells us 'The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and the expanse is declaring the work of his hands.'–Gen. 1:6-8, 14-15, 17, 20; Ps. 19:1; 150:1.
[3] Progressive action indicated by the imperfect state
[4] The Syr. has "over all the wild animals of the earth" instead of "over all the earth." Codex Leningrad B 19A is the earliest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Scriptures (c. 1008 C.E.), which serves as a primary source for the recovery of details in the missing parts of the Aleppo Codex. The Aleppo Codex is an important Hebrew Masoretic manuscript from about 930 C.E. Codex Leningrad and the Aleppo Codex are the two most important Hebrew Old Testament manuscripts. These two Hebrew texts are the most significant manuscripts of the Old Testament to be discovered so far and as far as usefulness and significance. The Targums or the Vulgate have their own fair share of textual variants but the Syriac Old Testament Peshitta has even more textual variants like the one we find above in Genesis 1:26. Thus, clearly, undoubtedly, the original reading was "and over all the earth,"
[5] The BHS has the original reading "on the seventh day God finished his work," while we have a variant in the LXX, QT, SP, and SYR "on the sixth day God finished his work." The versions are noted for their variants, especially the Syriac Old Testament Peshitta. It might be that the scribes were attempting to make the reference to the seventh day more clear at the end of the verse. "And God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his works which he made.
[6] Or the generation of ... The Greek word genesis is used in the Greek Septuagint (LXX) to render the Hebrew term tohledhohth, which generally has a similar meaning, denoting the history in numerous places within the book of Genesis, which is usually rendered "generations" in the book of Genesis (ASV, ESV, LEB, NASB) or "history." It is used as a heading to set up the historical account that is to follow. – Gen. 2:4; 5:1; 6:9; 10:1; 11:10, 27; 25:12, 19; 36:1, 9; 37:2.
[7] The first occurrence of God's personal name, יהוה (JHVH/YHWH), which is found in the Hebrew Old Testament 6,828 times.
[8] Or cultivate the ground
[9] Or spring
[10] "Man" occurs with the definite article (i.e., "the man" and indicates the noun is singular
[11] Heb., neshamah ["breath"] chaiyim ["of life"]
[12] Lit was going out; Hebrew participle refers to a continuous stream
[13] Lit became four heads
[14] Assyria Heb., Ashshur
[15] Lit eat from it
[16] Lit dying you [singular] shall die. Heb moth tamuth; the first reference to death in the Scriptures
[17] Lit as his opposite; counterpart or complement, something that completes or perfects him
[18] In Hebrew you is plural in verses 1–5
[19] Lit the voice
[20] Or in the cool of the day
[21] Personal name meaning "life." (Heb., Chawwah)
[22] Meaning Adam had sexual relations with Eve
[23] That is, gotten one
[24] That is, gave birth; Lit And she added to bear
[25] Lit of days
[26] Or, his countenance fell
[27] This is a shortening of the Hebrew idiom "to lift up the face," which means "to accept" favorably
[28] Likely Genesis 4:8 originally included two consecutive clauses that end with the expression "in(to) the field" (bassadeh). It is most likely that the scribe's eye skipped over the earlier expression ending with the expression "into the field" to the same word in the second instance; therefore, accidentally omitting the quotation. Clearly, the LXX, as well as the SP, SYR, and the VG have been useful in identifying this error in the Hebrew text. The odds are increased greatly that "let us go over into the field" was in the original because of it being found in such a wide number of versions, especially with the Septuagint being one of those versions.
[29] The Tetragrammaton, God's personal name, יהוה (JHVH/YHWH), which is found in the Hebrew Old Testament 6,828 times.
[30] The BHS/MT, along with the KJV, ASV, NASB, and the LEB has the reading "Therefore whoever kills Cain." This reading would suggest that God is agreeing with Cain that his punishment is too severe (vv. 13–14). On the other hand, we have a variant in the LXX, SYR, and VG, along with the ESV, NIV, NRSV, REB, and the UASV that reads "Not so! Whoever kills Cain." In this reading, God is correcting Cain's fearful rant in his response, not dealing with his being expelled, telling him that his punishment is not too severe. The external evidence is found in such a wide number of versions (SYR, VG), especially with the Septuagint being one of those versions.
[31] I.e. wandering
[32] Lit knew
[33] Lit Adam
[34] Lit begot
[35] The BHS/MT has the reading "walked with God" in both verse 22 and 24 of chapter 5. On the other hand, we have a variant in the Greek Septuagint (LXX) that reads "Enoch was pleasing to God" in both verse 22 and 24 of chapter 5. The metaphor "walked with God" would have been deemed offensive to the devoted worshippers, irreverence or disrespect for God, audacious in that a human could walk with God or worse still that God was being lowered to a human level, an imperfect one at that. Clearly, the Septuagint rendered the metaphor "walked with God" as a paraphrase "Enoch was pleasing to God."
[36] See note on 5:22
[37] Septuagint was not found
[38] God took Enoch so as to not see death; See Hebrews 11:5
[39] Meaning Rest
[40] Or rest or relief
[41] Septuagint angels
[42] This refers to angelic sons of God. See Job 1:6; 38:7; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6
[43] Lit good
[44] Or contend
[45] He is a reference to man
[46] The Nephilim were giant offspring resulting from the sexual relations between sons of God (i.e., angels) and the daughters of men (i.e., human women).
[47] I.e., the days when Adam and Eve, and their descendants, began having female offspring. All of the Nephilim were destroyed in the flood of Genesis 7.
[48] American Translation: "the whole bent of his thinking was anything but evil." In other words all imperfect humans are mentally bent toward evil.
[49] Feel regret over: (nacham) The Hebrew word (nacham) translated "be sorry," "repent," "regret," "be comforted, "comfort," "reconsider" and "change one's mind" can pertain to a change of attitude or intention. God is perfect and therefore does not make mistakes in his dealings with his creation. However, he can have a change of attitude or intention as regards how humans react to his warnings. God can go from the Creator of humans to that of a destroyer of them because of his unrepentant wickedness and failure to heed his warnings. On the other hand, if they repent and turn from their wicked ways, he can be compassionate and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loyal love; and he will "reconsider" the calamity that he may have intended.–Genesis 6:6; Exodus 32:14; Joel 2:13.
[50] Or sky
[51] Blameless: (Heb. tam, tamim; Gr. amomos, amometos) means, "perfect, blameless, sincerity, entire, whole, complete, and full." Of course, Noah, Jacob, and Job were not literally perfect. When used of imperfect humans, the terms are relative, not absolute. However, if we are fully committed to following, a life course based on God's will and purposes, fully living by his laws, repent when we fall short, he will credit us righteousness.–Gen. 6:6; 25:27; Job 9:20-22l Ps. 119:1; Pro. 11:20; Phil 2:15; 1 Thess. 5:23.
[52] Lit begot
[53] A resinous wood, possibly cypress (wood). The exact identity of the wood is unknown; "gopher wood" is simply a transliteration of the Hebrew.
[54] I.e. One cubit equals approx. 45 cm or 18 in.
[55] I.e. One cubit equals approx. 45 cm or 18 in.
[56] I.e. One cubit equals approx. 45 cm or 18 in.
[57] Or window, i.e., an opening for the provision of light.
[58] I.e. One cubit equals approx. 45 cm or 18 in.

[67] A cubit equaled 44.5 cm (17.5 in.).

[69] American Translation: "the bent of man's mind may be evil from his very youth." In other words, all imperfect humans are mentally bent toward evil.
[70] I.e. life
[71] I.e. your lifeblood
[72] I.e. life
[73] I.e. offspring or descendants
[74] I.e. living creature
[75] The BHS/MT has the reading "to all the beasts of the earth" in verse 10 of chapter 9. On the other hand, the Greek Septuagint (LXX) does not include "to all the beasts of the earth" in verse 10 of chapter 9. The verbal repetition in the Hebrew test is obviously for emphasis. The Septuagint continues to be very much important today and is used by textual scholars to help uncover copyists' errors that might have crept into the Hebrew manuscripts either intentionally or unintentionally. However, it cannot do it alone without the support of other sources. While the Septuagint is the second most important tool after the original language texts for ascertaining the original words of the original Hebrew text, it is also true that the LXX translators took liberties at times, embellishing the text, deliberate changes, harmonizations, and completing of details. It could be here that the translators felt the repetition of "every beast of the earth" was redundant or it was simply accidentally dropped from the text.
[76] I.e., populated
[77] I.e., turned away
[78] I.e., drunkenness
[79] Or servant of servants
[80] Most of the MT has the reading "Dodanim" in verse 4 of chapter 10. On the other hand, the Greek Septuagint (LXX) and the Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) and some Hebrew manuscripts have "Rodanim" in verse 4 of chapter 10. "Rodanim" is also found in the Masoretic Text (MT) at 1 Chronicles 1:7. However, many of the Hebrew manuscripts, as well as the Syriac Peshitta and the Latin Vulgate read "Dodanim." In Hebrew, the letter resh "r" (ר) and the letter dalet "d" (ד) are very similar graphically and were often confused by a copyist. (e.g., "Riphath" in Gen. 10:3 appears as "Diphath" at 1 Chron. 1:6 in the MT) Most translations present Dodanim in Genesis 10:4 and Rodanim at 1 Chronicles 1:7. Dodanim is the more difficult reading to explain, which usually means the preferred reading if the change was intentional. Biblica Hebraica by Rudolf Kittel (1905) gives דודנים ("Dodanim") in Genesis 10:4 with רודנים ("Rodanim") listed as a textual variant in the critical apparatus. Assyriologist Pinhas Artzi writes, "It is possible that the Rodanim should be equated with the Dananians (?) who are mentioned in the El-Amarna letters (J.A. Knudtzon, Die El-Amarna Tafeln, 1 (1907), 151, lines 48–58, letter from Tyre) and in the Karatepe Inscriptions (see Donner and Roellig, in bibl.) or with Yadnâna, perhaps Cyprus (cf. Elishah). However, the most plausible, although not entirely satisfactory, explanation remains that the Rodanim were inhabitants of Rhodes."
[81] I.e., He was a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah. Lit in front of or before, but in the sense of defiance of and opposition to, as in the case of the same expression in Num. 16:2; Josh. 7:12-13; 1 Ch 14:8; 2 Ch 14:10; Job 23:4. Some Bible scholars attach a favorable sense to the Hebrew preposition meaning in front of or before, the Jewish Targums, the writings of the historian Josephus, and also the context of Genesis chapter 10 suggest that Nimrod was a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah.
[82] The MT has the reading "Mash" in verse 23 of chapter 10. On the other hand, the Greek Septuagint (LXX) has "Meshech" in verse 23 of chapter 10. "Meshech." is also found in the Masoretic Text (MT) at 1 Chronicles 1:17.
[83] The MT has the reading "Arphaxad fathered Shelah" in verse 24 of chapter 10. On the other hand, the Greek Septuagint (LXX) has "Arphaxad fathered Cainan, and Cainan fathered Sala [Shelah]" in verse 24 of chapter 10. "Arphaxad fathered Shelah" is also found in the Masoretic Text (MT) at 1 Chronicles 1:18. It would seem that Luke followed the Septuagint reading. (Luke 3:35–36) Evidently, Arpachshad was the father of Shelah.
[84] Peleg means division
[85] The Hebrew has the reading "thirty-five-years" in verse 12 of chapter 11. On the other hand, the Greek Septuagint (LXX) has "a hundred and thirty-five years" in verse 12 of chapter 11. While we are focused on the LXX here, in the entirety of the genealogy both the LXX and the SP are making attempts at harmonizing the ages of the patriarchs. They may very well be doing this to have this genealogy list agree with the one at Genesis 5:3-32.
[86] The Hebrew has the reading "And Arpachshad lived four hundred and three years after he fathered Shelah, and he fathered other sons and daughters." in verse 13 of chapter 11. On the other hand, the Greek Septuagint (LXX) differs tremendously "And Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Cainan, four hundred years, and begot sons and daughters, and died. And Cainan lived a hundred and thirty years and begot Sala; and Canaan lived after he had begotten Sala, three hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters, and died." in verse 13 of chapter 11.
[87] Or terebinth

The Congress of Peru has voted overwhelmingly in favor of legalizing medical marijuana in the country. The move marks a fast 180 in the nation's medical cannabis policy.
Since a publicized raid on a medical cannabis extraction lab earlier this year, lawmakers have proposed to decriminalize medical marijuana, and have now gone full measure to legalize it. The bill passed by Congress will be written into law before the end of the year.
In February, police raided a makeshift extraction lab where mothers manufactured cannabis concentrates for their infirmed children. A 43 year-old named Ana Alvarez had founded the group Buscando Esperanza to help children like her son Anthony, who suffered from a severe form of epilepsy and tuberous sclerosis, a condition which causes tumors to grow on organs including the brain.
The new law will allow for a regulated MMJ market to treat "serious and terminal illnesses."
"We've ensured that thousands of patients and their family members will enjoy a better quality of life," Alberto de Belaunde, a lawmaker who advocated the bill, told the Guardian. "This is a historic moment and my dream is that empathy and evidence can continue to defeat fears and prejudices."
De Belaunde argued that the debate "was not abstract," but "had a human face." And many, many Peruvian lawmakers must have agreed with him; the Congress approved the bill 68-5.
Though the bill's quick passing shows the Peruvian government to be somewhat progressive, and more than somewhat fluid, it's unclear whether it addresses the problems raised by February's raid.
Ana Alvarez, the raided lab's founder says her group is "very happy with the fact that Peruvian law has approved this," but adds that "we're not totally satisfied."
While the new law will allow for regulated manufacture of cannabis oil, it won't allow for homemade labs like her own to cater to the specific needs of individual patients. "We want associations like ours to be included in the production of this natural medicine," she said.
Latin America is quickly becoming a beacon for progressive cannabis regulations. Chile, Colombia, and Puerto Rico have all legalized the use of medicinal cannabis oil, while Uruguay has legalized the cultivation and use of cannabis in all forms.

Houston Texans-Justin Reid
I don't really understand how Justin Reid fell all the way to the Texans at the top of the third round. Before the draft, Reid looked like a first round pick with great measurables, tape, and athleticism. His fall might have been due to his brother Eric Reids kneeling issue, but the two are different people and if that was the reason every NFL team should be shaking their heads. Reid is a former Stanford player, Stanford knows how to develops solid NFL prospects. Reid also about learned the NFL game from his former pro bowl brother Eric. Reid is what NFL teams look for in a safety as he possesses plus speed/size and his instincts make him a ball hawk in the back end.
The Texans are a team that lacked star power in their defensive back group, they also lack speed which showed last year as they were the worst team in the NFL when it came to deep ball defense. Houston brought in Tyrann Mathieu to help with that group and then brought in Justin Reid to start alongside Mathieu, that combo instantly looks like one of the better safety combos in the NFL. At the combine Reid tested well with a 4.4 40 yard dash time to go along with a 36.5 inch vertical jump, both impressive numbers for his position. Reid is a smart player, he is rarely caught out of position and has NFL caliber reaction time. His speed and anticipation make him a ball hawk, which showed in his impressive Junior season when he was able to nab 5 interceptions. Reid can not only play deep but is a physical safety that can elude blockers and get to the quarterback or running back and can tackle with a punch when doing so. Reid's smart and instinctive play makes him a threatening player at safety and should immediately start over Andre Hal at free safety. Don't forget that the Texans boast a strong and physical front seven that will allow Reid to make plays at his position. Reid doesn't have many flaws to his game which made it absolutely ridiculous that he fell as far as he did, the Texans did not have a first or second round pick but got an all-pro type player in Reid in the 3rd round. Reid was not only a steal for the Texans, he was the steal of the entire draft.
Tennessee Titans-Harold Landry
If you were watching the draft we can just call this player "Honor Landry" due to Vince Young's botching of his name, and it truly was an honor that the Titans were able to select this edge rusher out of Boston College in the second round. While Landry lacks premium size off of the edge, he makes up for that in length, burst, and bend off the edge. He had a disappointing senior year at Boston College due to injuries which made him fall to the second round. His junior year was outstanding as he totaled 16.5 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, and 7 forced fumbles. He should immediately start on the edge for the Titans with Brian Orakpo on the other side.
Landry is explosive off of the edge which throws off offensive lineman when he meets the lineman he can get past them with his excellent bend. Landry uses his loose hips and strong upper body to create a leaning target that is hard to throw off. Landry is not just an excellent pass rusher as he is solid in run defense. Landry's burst and elite athleticism make him one of the best pure pass rushers in the 2018 NFL draft, actually, the best pure pass rusher. If Landry were to go into the 2017 draft after his monstrous 2016 campaign he would have been a surefire top 20 pick in the draft, but, his ankle injury in 2017 hurt his draft stock and made him unproductive in his final season at Boston College. If Landry can regain his 2016 form he can become a dominant pass rusher in the AFC South which is slowly turning into a stud division. Landry's burst and speed remind me of Vic Beasley coming out of the draft and he could produce just like him in 2018.
Jacksonville Jaguars-Ronnie Harrison
I'll admit, I wasn't the biggest fan of the Jaguars 2018 Draft, as I thought they could have went quarterback a little earlier than they did to push Blake Bortles. The Jaguars continued to bolster their already scary defense by selecting Taven Bryan in the first and then selected safety Ronnie Harrison in the third round. These picks signal that the Jaguars are looking to build their defense for the future. The Jaguars will have to resign Bouye and Ramsey among other defensive players eventually and are looking to find replacements for some defensive players that they might lose when they are unable to resign the complete defense that they currently have. Harrison is one of those picks that is insurance for the future. Ronnie Harrison should compete for Barry Church's spot at strong safety immediately, as he possesses the right body and play style for it.
Harrison is a 6'2" safety out of Alabama who is a fluid athlete and is versatile enough to line up at different positions all over the field. He is a big hitter type of player as he often came in looking to hit shoulder first while at Alabama, this will need to be cleaned up. Harrison is comfortable playing in either the box or deep, as he is physical and big but also possesses good speed. Where Harrison needs improvement is in coverage, though, he does read the quarterbacks eyes he is unable to make the right play in coverage most of the time, that's why I would prefer him to player dime linebacker or box safety in his first years in the NFL. Where Harrison does excel is in the running game as he is physical and looks to shed blocks instantly. The Jaguars have a weapon in Ronnie Harrison, he should be used mainly as a blitzing safety in his first few years until he can shore up his inconsistent coverage game. I really like this pick because he does not have to start in his first few years but will see time on running downs. If Harrison can correct his coverage mistakes he could be a huge steal for the Jaguars as he is already one of the better run and blitzing safeties in the 2018 draft class.
Indianapolis Colts-Nyheim Hines
The Colts are looking to put weapons and a strong offensive line around Andrew Luck when he inevitably returns. The Colts drafted plenty of offensive lineman in the 2018 draft, which I loved. Quenton Nelson is one of the best guard prospects I have ever seen but their real steal comes in the 4th round when they selected speedster Nyheim Hines out of NC State. Hines will pair with Marlon Mack to create a stronger running game in Indianapolis, which they have lacked for some time now. Hines will not start for the Colts but will be featured in the passing game as he has impressive agility and speed for east to west situations. His 4.38 forty yard dash was the fasted for all running backs in the 2018 combine.
Hines will most likely be used as a third down running back in his rookie season, while Marlon Mack will shoulder most of the workload for the rest of the game. The 5'9" Hines is an explosive player as his speed and agility make him a nightmare to tackle. His pass catching ability and dynamic running style will make him a threat on third downs as he can create yards with his feet and speed alone after catching the ball. Hines is best suited on inside zone runs, where he can create home run types plays after bursting through holes. Hines is a toy for offensive coordinators as he is not a bell cow type back, instead, he is a back that will be able to keep the sticks moving with his ability to work behind the line of scrimmage. The Colts lack these types of weapons and Andrew Luck can make the best of him off of screen plays or just letting him take the ball up the middle. Look for Hines to play consistent snaps on passing downs early in his career. The Colts got themselves a steal in Hines, he will pair with Marlon Mack to create a strong young running back group in Indiana for Andrew Luck to pair up with.

Craziest swimming pool in Texas
Downtown Houston's Market Square Tower hasn't formally debuted to the public, but it's already drawing attention for one unique amenity.
The new apartment building features a swimming pool, dubbed the "Sky Pool," which extends 10 feet beyond the side of the building.
The pool has an 8-inch-thick plexiglass floor that allows swimmers to look directly down 40 stories — or 500 feet — onto Preston Street.
The dramatic view is almost as impressive from the ground level, where a look up shows the cantilevered pool bottom.
For those afraid of heights, there's another pool on the fourth-floor terrace.
Other amenities at the tower include a movie theater, a virtual golf simulator, a poker suite, an indoor basketball court, a cyber lounge and a game room with old-school games such as air hockey. The ground floor of the building will boast a cafe and an upcoming 13,000-square-foot CVS store, which signed on as a tenant in October.
"The amenities at Market Square Tower were meticulously researched by our team to create a new kind of residential experience in Houston," said Philip Schneidau, CEO of Woodbranch Investments Corp., developer of the project, which was designed by Houston-based Jackson & Ryan Architects.
What's it all cost?
Prices at Market Square Tower range from $1,805 for a 564-square-foot studio apartment to $18,715 per month for a 2,993-square-foot penthouse. The two penthouses each have three bedrooms and three balconies, as well as views of Buffalo Bayou Park or Market Square Park.

Sometimes holidays are challenging. Perhaps you are hosting the holiday at your home and are nervous about all the preparations. Sometimes the challenges come with having to travel in traffic, and spend long hours in the car. Other times holidays bring the blues as it may remind you of those you've lost, and awaken a lonesome experience. Holidays often bring anxiety about being with family members who increase your stress and pain.
Here's a suggestion. Begin your Thanksgiving with a few moments of meditation and reflection to lift you to greet your day. Sit quietly and be present to your experience. Honor what's happening as you sit and become fully awake within you. As you are ready, ask yourself what it is you are grateful for. Find qualities in yourself that have developed over time and give you a sense of peace. Consider your body, even if it's racked with stress, limits, or pain. Find gratitude for the way your body interacts with you, and lets you know what it needs. Then, take a few moments to consider those close to you, the chosen few who listen when your speak, honor your life, and support your dreams. Send thanks to them for their place in your life. In the last few moments ask yourself what else you are thankful for… allow the answers to rise from within you and after each rises say "thank you" for being in my life. Take the time you need and stay aware of your experience. What happens within you when you give thanks, and offer gratitude for yourself, and for your life?
Many Blessings of Peace during Thanksgiving and always….
Hurricane Sandy swept up the East Coast this week and left millions of people in the cold and dark. People lost their homes, cars, possessions, and some even lost their lives. But for those of us lucky enough to have made it through the storm, shocked by the damage that was left, how do we survive this catastrophe?
How does anyone create a "new normal" after a natural disaster, or life changing event? When the winds have died down, and all that's left to do is survey the damage, how can we move forward after life as we know it is forever changed? Take a moment to connect with yourself. P.A.U.S.E....(purposeful- awareness- understanding- sense- experience). Find some compassion for what you've been through, witnessed, and experienced during the last week. The changes within us began as the reports of the storm hit the airwaves. Our nervous systems were revved up simply hearing what was coming. Television, radio, and newspapers warned of the impending trail of disaster that Sandy would leave behind. The panic was rising, store shelves were emptied, no more water, batteries, food. Then, weathering the storm itself, a two day pounding of wind and rain. Trees snapping, giant branches flying in the wind, possessions floating in the streets, no power, heat, water, electric and cable wires down everywhere. The cries for help, disconnection from loved ones, no phone service, email, etc. Further panic set in two days later as cars lined the streets for hours with people desperately trying to fill their cars with gas. Hysteria, anger, people frantic to survive, to hold on to the normal stuff of life.
Take a moment to consider your own experience, how you personally weathered this storm. How is your physical body, emotions, thoughts, and spirit responding to Hurricane Sandy? This assessment is not compared to how anyone else is doing. It's a personal moment of reflection to give you vital information about what you need in order to create a new normal within you. What will support inner stability as you walk forward into the unknown? Pause to fill up and find that sense of yourself before you run to help in your community. Just as on a plane, a mother needs to put the oxygen mask on herself before her children, life teaches us that a moment to pause, breathe, find balance within us supports clearer focus and an ability to see what's needed in any given moment.
What can you do when you feel the panic starting to build inside? It's important to be with yourself and your nervous system to help keep yourself calmer during times of natural disaster, physical stress, emotional stress, or challenges with thinking about what will happen next. Right now we are in shock. Lives will never be the same again. Acceptance of the "new norm" will take time, support, healing, and lots of compassion.
So if you are affected by Sandy, or are going through another life changing event that has stopped you in your tracks, and find yourself out of sorts, here are some steps to ground you and negotiate a new normal.

This weekend will see on Friday two 40 minute practice sessions the sponsor rides, time to give our sponsors a quick couple of laps around the tight Winton raceway, the sponsor rides are a integral part of our weekend and for me I love seeing the look on every ones face when they get out of the car, generally a smile from ear to ear although I have had a few screaming clients and believe me they were not all ladies.
On Saturday we have our qualifying at 9.30 for 30 minutes and this will determine the grid for race 1 at 3.15 which will be shown live on channel 7, 7 mate or 7 two, please check your local guides.
Sunday we have race 2 at 1.15pm and this will also be shown live on channel 7, 7 Mate or 7 Two, once again check your local guides.
Winton is a very short track and very tight with three straights with big breaking zones and always brings very tough racing as passing opportunities are difficult and there is always plenty of action on track and we are planning to be right amongst all the action and work our way up the front to ensure our best finish.
I would like to thank all our sponsors for their support and look forward to catching up with everyone at the track.
You can keep up to date with all the action at www.v8supercars.com.au or visit my web page www.michaelhectorracing.com.au

Natural ability of time stops
There has been an interesting conception went through on how the time stops on planet. According to one system there must be simple certain forms that make primary matters being stopped. Time stops though. Pyramids tend to stop the time (or slow it down) due to its shape. The flow of matters coming down from space in the tremendous speed and hitting the Earth clipping the ground, while the spread-out of it goes perpendicularly accelerating the flow again, making the hit spot retarding circumstance.
That central spot of a shape is the time slower momentum in the pyramid shape itself. That is a perfect fulcrum on whatever you plan to do. Whether its innovational science, massive production or even health care. Flowing matters from outer space coming all over the place. But the pyramid shape can have an affect on time that it will be slowed down. And it happens only in the central spot.
If you observe the ancient Egyptian pyramids you will find out that they tend to preserve things inside of it for the long periods of time. The time stops or literally is slowed down.

One of Jamaica's most recognisable brands, Appleton's white rum is up there with their finest dark varieties. A blend of rich pot and light column still rums come together to give Appleton its unique taste and this also involves being filtered through special charcoal filters. Light-bodied and smooth in flavour there is a smoky depth to the character of Appleton White which isn't common amongst lighter rums. Simply offering what you'd expect from a white rum combine it with your favourite tropical fruit juice.
Setting the standard in white rum, Bacardi is known worldwide. In 1862 it became the world's first premium aged white rum and using charcoal filtration was key to its original development. Bacardi is a necessity for many world famous cocktails and without we'd not have the classic Daiquiri, the Mojito or the Cuba Libre. Smooth and gentle on the palate it's wonderful however you choose to mix it and offers a taste of Cuba which can't be compared.
With a couple of awards under its belt El Dorado 3 Year rum is a fine example of a mixing rum which a crispness that lends itself to sharp citrus cocktails and even exotic punches. Coconut is ever-present from first opening and hints of sugary sweet icing sugar are also apparent in the nose. On drinking El Dorado is surprisingly dry with notes of intense brown sugar, a nutty edge and of course that coconut coming through strongly. The end note blends vanilla with the coconut for a fresh finish.
Another exceptional rum from one of Mauritius' finest producers Green Island, Green Island Light is a highly drinkable and wonderfully subtle offering. Grassy and herbaceous on the nose, hints of pepper and sweet honey also come through tempting you to taste it. The flavour is surprisingly creamy for a white rum and has distinct notes of exotic coconut, bitter cocoa and golden syrup, as well as sharp lime and black pepper. It's this final note than lingers once the drink is done.
One of the youngest Ron Cubay offerings, their 3 Year Old rum uses exclusively Cuban molasses and is a wonderful choice for your cocktails, although interestingly for a young rum can be enjoyed neat too. It emanates with pepper spice as you open the bottle, with sugary toffee following quickly behind. The palate will be awash with black pepper from the first sip but this is well balanced against sweeter caramel and toffee notes.
White rum also known as silver or light rum is a clear and milder flavoured rum than dark or golden rums. White rum is often used to make cocktails that don't require the bold rum flavour such as the daiquiri, mojito and pina colada.
