Kwanjalo ke ukufezwa kwezulu nomhlaba, nawo wonke umkosi wazo. Waye UTIXO ebegqibile ngomhla wesixe̔nxe umsebenzi wake abewenzile; waza wapumla ngomhla wesixe̔nxe kuwo wonke umsebenzi wake abewenzile. Waza UTIXO watamsanqela owesixe̔nxe umhla, wawenza ngcwele; ngokokuba ebete ngawo wapumla kuwo wonke umsebenzi wake abewudalile UTIXO wawenza.

NANKU ukuvela kwezulu nokwomhlaba ekudalweni kwazo, mhlana UYEHOVA UTIXO wenzayo umhlaba nezulu, yonke imitana yasendle ingekabiko emhlabeni, nayo yonke imifuno yasendle ingekahlumi: ngokuba UYEHOVA UTIXO ebengekanisi imvula pezu kwomhlaba, kwakungeko mntu kanjalo alime ihlabati. Koko bekunyuka inkungu emhlabeni, yanyela ubuso bonke behlabati.
Kekaloku UYEHOVA UTIXO wadala umntu ngotuli lwomhlaba, wapefumlela ezimpumlweni zake umpefumlo wobomi; waza umntu waba ngumpefumlo opilileyo.
Waye UYEHOVA UTIXO watyala umyezo e‐Hedeni, ngasempumalanga: wambeka kona umntu abemdalile. Waza UYEHOVA UTIXO wahlumisa emhlabeni yonke imiti ekanukekayo ukubonwa nemnandi ukutyiwa; kwa nomti wobomi pakati emyezweni, nomti wokwaziwa kwokulungileyo nokukohlakeleyo. Kwaye kupuma e‐Hedeni umlambo, ukuze uwunyele umyezo lowo; owahluka kona, waba zizibaxa zazine. Igama lowokuqala umlambo yi‐Pishone: nguwo lo ojikelezelayo lonke ilizwe le‐Havila, apo ikona igolide. Kekaloku igolide yelozwe ilungile: iko kona ibedolaki nelitye leshohame. Igama lomlambo wesibini yi‐Gihone: nguwo lo ojikelezelayo lonke ilizwe lakwa‐Kushe. Igama lomlambo wesitatu yi‐Hidekele: nguwo lo osingayo ngasempumalanga ye‐Asiriya. Umlambo wesine ngum‐Ferate.
Waza UYEHOVA UTIXO watabata umntu, wambeka emyezweni wase‐Hedeni, ukuze alime wona, awugcine. Waye UYEHOVA UTIXO waxela emntwini, esiti: Yonke imiti yomyezo ungakolisa ukutya kuyo; kodwa umti wokwaziwa kwokulungileyo nokukohlakeleyo, akuyi kutya kuwo: ngokuba emhleni utyayo kuwo uya kufa ngokufa.
Wayesiti UYEHOVA UTIXO: Akulungile ukuba umntu abe yedwa; ndiya kumenzela umncedi olungelelene naye. Waebedalile UYEHOVA UTIXO emhlabeni zonke izilo zasendle, nazo zonke intaka zezulu, wazizisa ku‐Adame ukuba abone woti nina ukuzibiza: kuze kwati, oko wazibiza ngako u‐Adame zonke izinto ezinokudliwa kwobomi, kwaba ligama lazo kona. Waye u‐Adame wazitiya amagama zonke inkomo, nentaka zezulu, nazo zonke izilo zasendle; kodwa u‐Adame, akwamfunyanelwa mncedi olungelelene naye.
Wandula UYEHOVA UTIXO wahlisa ubutongo obukulu pezu kwo‐Adame, wada walala; waza watabata lwalunye kuzo imbambo zake, wati vingci ngenyama endaweni yalo. Olobambo abelutabatile ku‐Adame, waka UYEHOVA UTIXO ngalo umfazi, waza wamzisa ku‐Adame. Wayesiti u‐Adame: Lo kaloku ulitambo ematanjeni am, nenyama enyameni yam; kukona aya kubizwa ngokuti ngumfazi, ngokuba ebetatyatwa endodeni. Ngako oko indoda iya kushiya uyise nonina, inamatele emfazini wayo; baze bona babe yinyama nye. Kekaloku babezé bobabini, u‐Adame nomfazi wake, bengabanga nantloni noko.
