1. 1 In the beginning[h7225] [h430]Alahym Aleph/Tav created[h1254] [h8064]the heavens extending to {Vav/}Aleph/Tav the earth[h776].
2. 2 And the earth was [h8414]formlessness, and [h922]emptiness, and darkness[h2822] upon the face[h6440] of the[h8415]abyss. And the Spirit[h7307] of Alahym [h7363]fluttered upon the face[h6440] of the waters[h4325].
3. 3 And [h430]Alahym said[h559], Let there be[h1961] light[h216]: and there was[h1961] light[h216].
4. 4 And [h430]Alahym saw[h7200] Aleph/Tav–the light[h216] [h216] [h3588]as good[h2896]. And Alahym [h914]caused to separate [h996]between the light[h216] and [h996]between the darkness[h2822].
5. 5 And [h216]for light Alahym [h7121]called Day[h3117], [h2822]and for darkness He [h7121]called night[h3915]. And there was evening and there was morning the first day.
6. 6 And Alahym said, Let there be[h1961] a firmament[h7549] in the midst[h8432] of the waters, [h1961]and it was [h914]causing to separate [h996]between waters[h4325] [h4325]to waters.
7. 7 And Alahym made[h6213] Aleph/Tav–the firmament[h7549], and [h914]he caused to separate [h996]between the waters[h4325] which[h834] [h8478]from below [h7549]to the firmament, and between the waters which [h5921]from above [h7549]to the firmament: and it was so.
8. 8 And Alahym [h7121]called the firmament[h7549] [h8064]Heavens. And there was evening and there was morning the second day.

9. 9 And Alahym said, Let the waters [h8478]from below the heavens [h6960]be hoped for unto one place, and let the dry appear: and it was so.
10. 10 And Alahym [h7121]called the dry Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he [h7121]called Seas: and Alahym saw [h3588]that as good.
11. 11 And Alahym said, Let the earth [h1876]sprout [h1877]vegetation, herb[h6212] [h2232] causing to sow seed[h2233], fruit[h6529] tree[h6086] [h6213]producing fruit[h6529] [h4327]to his kind, wherein [h2233]his seed [is] in himself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12. 12 And the earth [h3318]caused to come out [h1877]vegetation, herb[h6212] [h2232]causing to sow seed[h2233] [h4327]to his kind, and the tree[h6086] [h6213]producing fruit[h6529], wherein [h2233]his seed [is] in himself, [h4327]to his kind: and Alahym saw [h3588]that as good.
13. 13 And there was evening and there was morning the third day.
14. 14 And Alahym said, Let there be [h3974]luminaries in the firmament of the heavens to divide between the day and between the night; and let them be [h226]for signs{Aleph/Tav/Tav}, [h4150]and for appointed times, and for days, and years:
15. 15 And let them be for [h3974]luminaries in the firmament of the heavens to give light[h215] upon the earth: and it was so.
16. 16 And Alahym made Aleph/Tav–two of [h1419]the great [h3974]luminaries; Aleph/Tav–the large luminary [h4475]for dominion of the day, and Aleph/Tav–the [h6996]small luminary [h4475]for dominion of the night extending to {Vav/Aleph/Tav} the stars.
17. 17 And Alahym set Aleph/Tav{/Mem} them in the firmament of the heavens to give light[h215] upon the earth,
18. 18 And to rule[h4910] by day and by night, and to divide between the light[h216] and between the darkness[h2822]: and Alahym saw [h3588]that as good.
19. 19 And there was evening and there was morning the fourth day.
20. 20 And Alahym said, Let the waters [h8317]teem with [h8318]creeping thing [h2416]living [h5315]soul, and [h5775]flying creature [h5774]caused to fly above the earth upon firmament surface of the heavens.
21. 21 And Alahym created Aleph/Tav–[h1419]the great [h8577]sea creatures extending to {Vav/Aleph/Tav} every living[H2416] [h2416]soul [h7430]that creeps, which the waters [h8317]teemed with [h4327]to their kind, extending to {Vav/Aleph/Tav} every [h5775]flying creature [h3671]of wing [h4327]to his kind: and Alahym saw [h3588]that as good.
22. 22 And Alahym blessed Aleph/Tav{/Mem} them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply[h7235], and fill Aleph/Tav–the waters in the seas, and let [h5775]the flying creature multiply[h7235] in the earth.
23. 23 And there was evening and there was morning the fifth day.
24. 24 And Alahym said, Let the earth[h776] bring forth living[h2416] [h5315]soul [h4327]to her kind^[a], [h929]animal, and [h7431]creeping thing, [h2416]and his creature of ^[b]earth [h4327]to her kind: and it was so.
25. 25 And Alahym made Aleph/Tav–the creature of the earth[h776] [למינהּ][h4327]to her kind, and Aleph/Tav–[h929]the animal [למינהּ][h4327]to her kind, extending to {Vav/Aleph/Tav} every [h7431]creeping thing [האדמה][h127]of the ground [למינהוּ][h4327]to their kind:^[c] and Alahym saw [h3588]that as good.
26. 26 And Alahym said, Let us make[h6213] [h120]Adam in our image[h6754], [h1823]as our likeness: [h7287]and let them rule [h1710]over fish of the sea, [h5775]and over flying creature [h8064]of the heavens, and over animal, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing[h7431] that creeps[h7430] upon the earth.
27. 27 So Alahym created[h1254] Aleph/Tav–the Adam in His image, in the image of Alahym He created[h1254] Aleph/Tav{/Vav} him; He created[h1254] Aleph/Tav{/Mem} them male and female.
28. 28 And Alahym blessed Aleph/Tav{/Mem} them and Alahym said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, [h4390]and fill Aleph/Tav–the earth, [h3533]and subdue her: [h7287]and rule over the fish of the sea, [h5775]and over flying creatures [h8064]of the heavens, and over every [h2416]creature [h7430]that creeps upon the earth.
29. 29 And Alahym said, Behold, I have given you Aleph/Tav–every herb [h2232]sowing seed[h2233], which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and Aleph/Tav–every tree, in which [is] the fruit of a tree [h2232]sowing seed[h2233]; for you he shall be [h402]for food.
30. 30 And to every [h2416]creature of the earth, and to every [h5775]flying creature [h8064]of the heavens, and to all [h7430]creeping upon the earth, wherein [h2416]living [h5315]soul in him, Aleph/Tav–all greenery: herb[h6212] [h402]for food. And it was so.

1. [1 Corinthians 15:45-58 KJV] 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam a life giving spirit. 46 Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] YAHUAH from heaven. 48 As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where [is] your sting? O grave, where [is] your victory? 56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. 57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Yahusha Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of YAHUAH, forasmuch as you know that your labour is not in vain in YAHUAH.

7. [John 1:1-13 ESV] 1 In the beginning[g746] was the [g3056]Logos, and the [g3056]Logos was [g4314]unto God, and the [g3056]Logos was God. 2 This was in the beginning [g4314]unto God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. 9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
8. [John 11:1-57 KJV] 1 Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (It was [that] Mary which anointed YAHUAH with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 4 When Yahusha heard [that], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. 5 Now Yahusha loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. 7 Then after that saith he to [his] disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. 8 [His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? 9 Yahusha answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. 11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 13 Howbeit Yahusha spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 14 Then said Yahusha unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent you may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. 16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. 17 Then when Yahusha came, he found that he had [lain] in the grave four days already. 18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: 19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Yahusha was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house. 21 Then said Martha unto Yahusha, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou will ask of God, God will give [it] thee. 23 Yahusha saith unto her, Your brother shall rise again. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Yahusha said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. 28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. 29 As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came unto him. 30 Now Yahusha was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up haveily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there. 32 Then when Mary was come where Yahusha was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33 When Yahusha therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 34 And said, Where have you laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. 35 Yahusha wept. 36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! 37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? 38 Yahusha therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39 Yahusha said, Take you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days. 40 Yahusha saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 41 Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid. And Yahusha lifted up [his] eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou have heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that thou have sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Yahusha saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Yahusha did, believed on him. 46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Yahusha had done. 47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48 If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, You know nothing at all, 50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yahusha should die for that nation; 52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. 53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. 54 Yahusha therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. 55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. 56 Then sought they for Yahusha, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think you, that he will not come to the feast? 57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew [it], that they might take him.
