52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Genesis 4

1

Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD."

2

And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.

3

In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground,

4

and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD 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 countenance fell.

6

The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?

7

If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it."

8

Cain said to Abel his brother, "Let us go out to the field." And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him.

9

Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

10

And the LORD said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.

11

And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

12

When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."

13

Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14

Behold, thou hast driven me this day away from the ground; and from thy face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me."

15

Then the LORD said to him, "Not so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him.

16

Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

17

Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

18

To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad was the father of Me-hu'ja-el, and Me-hu'ja-el the father of Me-thu'sha-el, and Me-thu'sha-el the father of Lamech.

19

And Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

20

Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle.

21

His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

22

Zillah bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Na'amah.

23

Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, hearken to what I say: I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.

24

If Cain is avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold."

25

And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him."

26

To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

Genesis 5

1

This is the book of the generations of Adam. 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 when they were created.

3

When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

4

The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters.

5

Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

6

When Seth had lived a hundred and five years, he became the father of Enosh.

7

Seth lived after the birth of Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters.

8

Thus all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.

9

When Enosh had lived ninety years, he became the father of Kenan.

10

Enosh lived after the birth of Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and had other sons and daughters.

11

Thus all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.

12

When Kenan had lived seventy years, he became the father of Ma-hal'alel.

13

Kenan lived after the birth of Ma-hal'alel eight hundred and forty years, and had other sons and daughters.

14

Thus all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.

15

When Ma-hal'alel had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Jared.

16

Ma-hal'alel lived after the birth of Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters.

17

Thus all the days of Ma-hal'alel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.

18

When Jared had lived a hundred and sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch.

19

Jared lived after the birth of Enoch eight hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

20

Thus all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.

21

When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methu'selah.

22

Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methu'selah three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

23

Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

24

Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

25

When Methu'selah had lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech.

26

Methu'selah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters.

27

Thus all the days of Methu'selah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.

28

When Lamech had lived a hundred and eighty-two years, he became the father of a son,

29

and called his name Noah, saying, "Out of the ground which the LORD has cursed this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands."

30

Lamech lived after the birth of Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and had other sons and daughters.

31

Thus all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.

32

After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis 6

1

When men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

2

the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took to wife such of them as they chose.

3

Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."

4

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

5

The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6

And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.

7

So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the ground, man and beast and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."

8

But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

9

These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

10

And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11

Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, 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 upon the earth.

13

And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

14

Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.

15

This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

16

Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and set the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks.

17

For behold, I will bring a 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 die.

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 every living thing 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 birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you, to keep them alive.

21

Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them."

22

Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.

Genesis 7

1

Then the LORD 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

Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate;

3

and seven pairs of the birds of the air also, male and female, to keep their kind alive upon the face of all the earth.

4

For in seven days I will send rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground."

5

And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

6

Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came 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 of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground,

9

two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah.

10

And after seven days the waters of the flood came 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 that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

12

And rain fell upon the earth 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 cattle 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 bird of every sort.

15

They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life.

16

And they that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.

17

The flood continued forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

18

The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters.

19

And the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered;

20

the waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep.

21

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man;

22

everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.

23

He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.

24

And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
