5 : Basic English : Genesis 9,10; Gospel of Matthew 6 1. And God gave his blessing to Noah and his sons, and said, Be fertile, and have increase, and make the earth full. 2. And the fear of you will be strong in every beast of the earth and every bird of the air; everything which goes on the land, and all the fishes of the sea, are given into your hands. 3. Every living and moving thing will be food for you; I give them all to you as before I gave you all green things. 4. But flesh with the life-blood in it you may not take for food. 5. And for your blood, which is your life, will I take payment; from every beast I will take it, and from every man will I take payment for the blood of his brother-man. ; AB church Lausanne

And of the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their seed may still be living on the face of the earth. 4. For after seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, for the destruction of every living thing which I have made on the face of the earth. 5. And Noah did everything which the Lord said he was to do. ; AB church Lausanne

And after the birth of Seth, Adam went on living for eight hundred years, and had sons and daughters: 5.

2 : Basic English : Genesis 3,4; Gospel of Matthew 2 1. Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden? 2. And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden: 3. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you. 4. And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you: 5. For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil. ; AB church Lausanne

Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. ; AB church Lausanne
