All language subtitles for Genesis The Creation and the Flood (1994) REMUX.eng

Mother, I'm afraid.

I'm right here,
near you.

Don't be afraid.

Why is it so dark?

Because the day is resting.

The sun has gone to bed,

like we have.

Even the sun?

Yes, even the sun.

During the night,

all living
things go to sleep.

They close their eyes
so they won't see the dark.

Come on now, try to close
your little eyes.

But after,

will I be able
to open them again?

Yes, as soon as the dawn

begins to brighten the sky.

Then, we'll see what the new day

has in store for us.

What is the new day
going to bring us?

No one can know

what is still hidden...

...in the womb of the light.

We have to wait

for the birth of the new day.

Not till then

shall we discover
all the splendors,

the wonders that accompany
the sunrise.

There are but few

who truly know,

who see what is there.

Can you see,
Grandfather?

On occasions, my eyes open.

And when they do,
I know that God

has touched me on the shoulder.

Could you help me to see?

You are a child, my boy,

and that makes my help
unnecessary.

The good Lord on high

reveals His glories openly

to the young and innocent.

The way he would have
revealed it

to the first man
who looked upon Creation,

with awe and
infinite wonder.

Thus it was,

from the very beginning
of time,

when the good Lord created

the sky, the sun,
the stars

and all the vastness
of the Earth.

But before Creation,

there was blackness,

black darkness
yet untouched by light,

and the darkness
was over the deep.

The darkness of the void

and the unknown,

because, as yet,

nothing existed,

not even the awareness
of the darkness

and the void.

But, behold,

the Spirit of God

was already breathing
over the waters.

And God said,

"Let there be light.”

And there was light.

The Lord God saw that
the light was good,

and divided the light
from the darkness.

The light, God called "day,"

and the darkness, "night.”

Evening came, morning came...

and that was the first
of the days.

"Behold,"

the Lord said,

"let the firmament exist.”

In the firmament,

God separated

the waters
that are of the Earth

from the waters
that are above the skies.

And the Almighty

saw that it was good.

And evening came,

and morning came

to complete
the second day.

On the third day,

the Creator summoned
all the waters

that are under the heavens

so that the dry land appeared.

And the Earth
produced vegetation

and plants of every species,

and all kinds
of fruit-bearing trees,

each one with its own seed.

And thus it came to be

that from that day forth,

the Earth began
to produce vegetation

and all kind of plants

and fruit-bearing trees
of every species,

each producing its own seed

to spread over the whole Earth.

And again,

evening came,

and morning came,

the third day.

On the morning
of the fourth day,

Almighty God said,

"Let there be two great lights

in the vault of the heavens,

one for the night,

and one for the day,

to serve as a sign
for the seasons,

for the days,

and for the years."”

And behold, the Lord God said,

"Let the waters teem
with living beings,

and let birds
fly above the Earth

under the vault
of the heavens."”

The Lord God created
all the living creatures

that frolic in the waters,

each according
to its own species,

and all the winged creatures,

each according to its species.

And evening came,

and morning came,

the fifth day.

On the sixth day,

the Almighty said,

let the Earth
produce living creatures,

cattle, creeping things

and wild animals,

each one according
to its species.

The Creator blessed them,

and said, "Be fruitful

and multiply.

Fill with life

the heavens
and the oceans,

and let the Earth
be filled

with living beings
of every species."

When the Creator
made Heaven and Earth,

no wild bushes,

no herbs of the field
had sprung up,

because God had not yet
sent rain upon the Earth,

and there was no human being

to work in the fields.

Instead,

water flowed out of the ground

and moistened all
the surface of the soil.

Out of the Earth

the Lord God fashioned man,

making him out of the soil.

God had created.

The Creator breathed
into his nostrils

the breath of life...

and the man
became a living being.

Thus the Lord God

determined to create man

in His own image.

God wanted them
in the image of God.

He created humankind,

male and female.

He created them
in the very likeness of God.

Then God blessed them and said,

"Be fruitful and multiply.

Fill the Earth and rule over

all of Creation.”

And thus it was.

An evening came,

and morning came,

the sixth day.

Thus the heavens
and the Earth

were brought to completion

and all the creatures

that inhabit the Earth.

And then the Creator
blessed the seventh day

and made it holy,

because on that day,

God had completed

all the work of the Creation.

Then, the soil
brought forth life,

and the trees produced fruit,

enticing to look at
and good to eat.

And the Lord sat the man

in the middle of the garden

so that he might cultivate it

and take care of it.

And then the Lord God

gave the man this command,

"All the fruit that grow here

are for you.

And you may freely eat of them.

But of all these,

only one you shall not touch,

the fruit of the Tree
of Knowledge

of Good and Evil.

If you eat of that fruit,

you will know what is good

and what is evil.

And of that knowledge,

you shall die."”

So many stars!

Look!

That one is Ishtar.

It is the star
of the morning.

But every dawn,
it's the last to fade.

Why is that bright star

called Ishtar?

Everything
that lives and moves

in the Creation

has been given
its own name,

like the sun,

and all the creatures
that live in its light.

From the time of the Creation,

the Creator saw that the man

was alone on the Earth.

And so God thought,

"I will make the man a helper,

who will be like him."

And then the Lord,

who had already
created out of dust

the animals of the field

and all the birds of the air,

brought them in front
of Adam, one by one,

in order that

he might name each one.

And whatever Adam called

each and every
living creature,

that was to be its name.

Even fire?

And the fire, too,

and the mountains.

And the rocks,
Grandfather?

And the plants?

And the plants.

With all their fruit,

each thing had its own name.

But the man
could not find a helper

similar to himself.

So the Lord God caused Adam

to fall into a deep sleep
on the ground.

The Lord approached

as Adam lay there,

and took one of Adam's ribs
from him.

And from this rib,

God fashioned the woman,

and brought her to Adam.

Then Adam said,

"Behold,

this one at last
is flesh of my flesh,

and bone of my bone,

life from my life."

She is to be called, "woman,"

because she was made
from the man.

That is why the man will leave

his father and his mother,

and will be united
with his wife,

and the two...

will become one flesh.

Now, both of them
were naked,

the man and the woman.

But because they were innocent,

they felt no shame.

The serpent
was the most subtle

of all the wild creatures

that God had created.

And behold,
he said to the woman,

"Did God really say

you shall not eat of the fruit

of any of the trees
in the garden?”

The woman said
to the serpent,

"We may eat of the fruit
of the frees

in the garden,

but the Lord God said,

'You shall not eat
of the fruit of the tree

in the middle of the garden,

nor shall you touch it,

or you shall die."

But the serpent

flattered the woman saying,

"No, you will not die at all.

In fact, God knows that the day

you eat of that fruit,

your eyes will be opened

and you will become like God,

for you will know
good and evil.”

And thus the woman

saw that the fruit of the tree

was good to eat

and pleasing to the eye

and enticing for the knowledge

it would give.

And so she took the fruit

and ate it.

Then she gave some

to the man who was with her.

And he, too,

ate of the fruit.

Adam and the woman

hid themselves behind the trees

because their eyes were opened

and both of them
realized they were naked.

And so the Lord God Almighty

summoned Adam and said to him,

"Why are you hiding?”

Adam answered,

"I heard the sound
of Your footsteps

and I was afraid

because now I am naked
and alone.”

And the Lord God said,

"Who told you
that you were naked?

Have you perhaps eaten

of the fruit of the tree

that I forbade you to eat?"

Adam answered,

"The woman gave me that fruit

and I ate some of it.

And now...

now I know fear.

I am alone.

Now I know good and evil."

Then the Lord God
said to the woman,

"Why have you done this?"

The woman answered,

"The serpent tempted me

and I ate of the fruit.”

And so the Lord God
said to the serpent,

"Because you have done
this thing,

you shall be cursed
among all the beasts.

You shall crawl in the dust
on your belly

because it was you
who caused her to eat.

For all eternity,

there will be enmity
between you and the woman,

between your offspring and hers

and so until the end of time,

her descendants
will crush your head,

and you will strike
their heel.”

To the man God said,

"Because you disobeyed me,

the Earth will be full
of suffering for you.

You will earn your bread

by the sweat of your brow

until you return to the ground

because out of the ground,

you were made.

Dust you are

and to dust you shall return.”

And again
the Lord God said,

"Behold, now man and woman

have become like me,

equal to me

because they know
good and evil.

And so they must not be allowed

to reach out their hands

and take the fruit

of the Tree of Life

and eat it,

and live forever."

And the Lord God expelled

Adam and the woman
from the garden

so that they would
work the soil

from which they were made.

And at the east
of the Garden of Eden,

God placed the Cherubim,

armed with the fiery,

flashing sword

to guard the way
to the Tree of Life.

Adam named the woman "Eve"

because she was the mother

of all those who live.

Their firstborn son,

they named "Cain."”

When Eve gave birth to him,
she said,

"Behold,

I have received
a gift from the Lord.

With God,

I have created a human being."”

And so it was.

And after Cain,

the woman gave birth to Abel,

his brother.

Abel, the second son,

was a shepherd and kept flocks.

Just like us?

Yes, just like us.

But Cain worked
in the fields,

planting the earth.

In the course of time,

Cain offered part
of his crop to the Lord.

Abel sacrificed
to the Most High

the finest of the newborn
Iambs of his flock.

The Lord God looked with favor

on Abel's offering.

He was not pleased with Cain's.

Cain was envious
of his brother.

He became angry.

His face was downcast

and he withdrew into himself.

Aagh! Waah! Waah!

The Lord God
sought out Cain

and said to him,

"Why are you so full of anger?

And why is your face
so downcast?

If you were doing
what is right,

surely you ought
to hold your head high.

But if you are acting wrongly,

look, the Evil One

is crouching at the door,

hungry to get you.

Wicked thoughts

and temptations assail you...

but you can be
the master of them.”

In spite of
the Lord God's warning,

Cain raised his hand

against his brother, Abel,

and killed him.

The Lord God again
sought out Cain

and said to him,

"Where is Abel, your brother?"

Cain, afraid and in hiding,

replied, "I do not know.

Am I my brother's keeper?”

The Lord said,

"What have you done, Cain?

The voice of your
brother's blood

is crying out

from the depths of the Earth.

From this day forth,

you must leave forever
the ground

which witnessed
your brother's death

at your hands.

Thus, when you till the earth,

it will not easily yield up

its fruits to you.

You shall be

a restless wanderer

and you will not cease

to hide yourself
from Me forever.”

Cain said,

"This punishment is greater

than I can bear.

Behold, You banish me
from this place

and from Your holy presence

and I must hide from Your face

for the rest of my days,

far from You.

I must live in danger,

for whoever meets me
on the road

will surely kill me.”

But the Holy One
did not want Cain's death,

and said, "Whoever kills Cain

will suffer
a sevenfold vengeance.”

And the Lord, in His love,

put a mark on Cain
to protect him,

so that no one
coming across him

would kill him.

Cain withdrew

from the presence
of the Holy One

and settled in the land of Nod,

to the east of Eden.

Then Cain united himself
to his wife,

and she conceived

and gave birth to Enoch.

And Cain founded a city

and a new civilization.

And he called the city,

"Enoch,” after his son.

And these are the
descendants of Cain:

Enoch fathered Irad,

and Irad fathered Mehujael.

Mehujael fathered Methushael,

who, in turn, fathered Lamech.

Lamech married two women,

Adah and Zillah.

The second wife, Zillah,

gave birth to Tubal-cain,
the craftsman,

ancestor of all those who work

with copper
and all other metals.

Tubal-cain's sister
was Naamah,

whose name means
“The one loved by all.

The one who is seduced

by the comforts and pleasures

of urban living.”

And Lamech said,

All of you,

hear my voice!

Listen to what
I am about to say!

I killed a man who attacked me!

A boy,

in a moment of rage!

Sevenfold vengeance
for Cain,

but for Lamech,

seventy-sevenfold!

So, now it happens

that violence spreads itself

wider and wider among men.

Behold, from action
to action,

from insult to insult,

humankind shapes
its own history.

Some are perpetrators
of violence,

some are its victims.

Some come out of the East,

others come out of the West.

But in all this movement,

all this confusion,

which is the right direction?

Then Adam,
the father of all peoples,

was joined again to his wife.

She gave birth
to a male child,

and she named him "Seth",

because, she said,

"God has granted me
other offspring

in the place of Abel,

whom Cain has killed.”

And Seth had a son

whom he called Enosh.

It was at that time

that people began to invoke

the name of the Lord.

Then Enosh fathered Kenan,

and Kenan fathered Mahalalel.

Mahalalel fathered Jared,

and Jared, Enoch.

Enoch fathered Methuselah,

who fathered Lamech.

And Lamech fathered Noah.

Loyalty has disappeared

from among human creatures.

Neighbor lies to neighbor,

the poor are oppressed

by the arrogance of the rich,

and the evildoer
in his heart thinks,

"No one, not even the Lord,

will hold me accountable.”

The Lord God looks down
from the heavens

at the children of Adam

to see if a single one
is still wise,

if a single one
still seeks God.

But many have become corrupt.

Many have proven
faithless and violent.

They are guilty
of all manner of sins.

Not one of them
does what is right.

All are seeking
their own advantage.

Why, oh Lord,

do you keep so distant?

Why do You hide Yourself

in time of trouble?

Hear Me,

all you nations and peoples.

Listen to Me,

all you who inhabit the Earth,

people, high and low,

rich and poor alike.

Do not be overawed
or jealous

when some of you become rich

and live in ever
greater splendor.

When they die,

they will take
nothing with them.

Their wealth will not
go down with them.

Humankind,

in all its splendor,

cannot last.

Human beings will never be able

to repay to God
their own ransom,

no matter how powerful
they become.

They will see
that the wise also die,

just as the fool
and the brute,

and leave their wealth
behind for others.

The tomb is their home
forever,

their dwelling place
until the end of time,

even though
they give their names

to vast palaces and properties.

You who eat from the work
of your hands,

blessed are you for you walk

in the ways of the Lord.

Your wife will be
a fruitful vine

in the inner places
of your house,

and your children
round your table

like shoots of an olive tree.

Even the sparrow
finds a home,

the swallow, a nest
to place its young.

Blessed are they,

who dwell in the house
of the Lord.

Tell me, then,

O loved one of my soul,

where will you lead
your flocks to graze?

Where will you stop
to rest at noon?

For sick with love I am.

Your right hand
is under my head

and the other embraces me.

On my bed,

in the night,

I searched for the one

whom my heart loves.

I searched for him,

but did not find him.

Before the day breeze rises,

before the shadows flee,

return, my love.

Leap joyously,

like a gazelle,

like a young stag
on the mountain

of sweet fragrances.

Kiss me

with the sweetest kisses

of your mouth.

Your love is sweeter than
any nectar.

Your name...

...is an inebriating perfume.

Your banner on me

is love.

"Show respect
for my Creation,”

says the Lord.

"Revere everything that lives

in My holy place.

But unless you honor My laws

and live your days

according to My commandments,

you will know the terrors

I can inflict.

No light shall enter your eye.

You shall suffer fever
and disease,

and your days
shall pass in agony.

In vain will you wait to reap

what you have planted.

Your enemies will gather
the harvest.

And if, in spite of this,

you refuse to listen to Me,

I will continue to chastise you

and will punish you seven times

over for your sins.

I will break your proud
strength

and I will make the sky

like scorching iron for you,

and your soil like flesh
without a shield.

Then you will seek refuge
in your cities,

but there, I will send plague

and pestilence,

and you shall fall

into the clutches of death.

And if, in spite of this,

you will not listen to Me

and continue to go against Me,

I will go against you in fury

and punish you

seven times over for your sins.

You shall eat the flesh
of your children.

I will destroy
your higher places.

I will smash
your incense altars,

and I will pile your corpses

on your foul idols.”

Then the Most High

saw that human wickedness

was great on the Earth,

and that the violent heart
of humankind

contrived nothing
but evil schemes.

The Lord God
regretted having made

human beings
on the Earth.

The Holy One was grieved
at heart and said,

"I will rid the face
of the Earth

of the human beings I created,

and of all the domestic animals,

the crawling creatures,

and the birds of the air.

All, I will exterminate them,

because I regret
having created them."

And so the Creator God

spoke to Noah,

"I have decided that
the end has come

for all living things,

for the Earth
is full of lawlessness

and violence
because of them.

So now I will destroy them

and the entire Earth.”

Then the Lord God
said to Noah,

"I am going to send
the flood,

the waters on Earth,

to destroy all living things

with the breath
of life under heaven.

Everything on Earth
is to perish,

but with you, Noah,

I will make a pact.

With you,
I will establish my covenant.

Behold,
you will build an ark.

You will make it
out of resinous wood.

You will divide it
into compartments

and caulk it with pitch,

inside and out.”

"You will fashion
a roof for the ark

raising it a cubit
higher than the rest.

You will build the ark
with three decks,

lower, middle, and higher,

and one side of the ark,

you will make a door.”

This is the story of Noah.

Noah was a good man,

just and honest,

and he walked with the Lord.

Noah fathered three sons,

Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

And so Noah did exactly

as the Lord
had commanded him.

Then the Lord God
said to Noah,

"Go aboard the ark,
and with you,

take your sons, your wife,

and wives of your sons.

From all living creatures,
from all animals,

you will take into the ark

two of each species

to save their lives with yours.

There must be
a male and female

of the birds, the cattle,

and of all the creatures

that crawl on the Earth,

according to their species.

Two of each
will go aboard with you,

so that they might live."”

Again, the Lord God said,

"Take with you provisions
of every kind

and lay in a store of them.

They will be nourishment
for you

and the others in the ark.”

And Noah did this,

exactly as God
had commanded him.

Seven days later,
the waters of the flood

appeared on the Earth.

All the springs
of the great deep

burst through
and the cataracts

of the heavens opened wide.

On the same day,

Noah entered the ark
with his three sons,

Shem, Ham and Japheth,

his wife, and the wives
of his three sons.

These people and the animals,

each according to its species,

all came to Noah in the ark.

And thus it was,

as God had commanded.

And then the Lord God

closed the door behind him.

The Lord God Almighty

summons the Earth,

from the west to the east,

and the heavens proclaim
His justice.

Our God is coming
to sit in judgment.

Before Him, devouring fire,

around Him, raging tempests.

Behold, the Holy One comes

and the Holy One speaks,

I am the Lord God,

your God.

Not for your
sacrificial offerings

does your God reproach you,

nor for the solemn ceremonies

you ever performed
to the Almighty.

But do not...

offer me a bull of your herd,

nor the goat you prize
over others.

They're already mine.

All the beasts of the forest,

the animals that graze
on the Earth,

they're mine already.

I know every bird that
flies to the highest summit,

and all living creatures
of the sea.

They are mine also.

Does God eat, perchance,

the cattle you give your Lord,

or drink blood
from your sacrificial goats?

Offer thanksgiving.

Let it be your sacrifice
to the Holy One.

In this way...

fulfill the vows you made

to the Most High."

The flood lasted
for 40 days and 40 nights.

The water swelled,
lifting the ark

until it floated off
the ground.

The waters rose
higher and higher

on the surface of the Earth

until they covered
the highest mountains

under the heavens.

And so it was that

all living things
on Earth perished.

Every being with the least
breath of life

in its nostrils died.

Everything on the face
of the Earth was exterminated,

human beings, birds, animals,

domestic and wild,

and creeping things.

Only Noah was saved,

and with him,
those in the ark.

Then the Creator
remembered Noah

and all the animals that
were in the ark with him.

And so the Lord God Almighty

sent a wind across the Earth,

and the waters
began to subside.

The springs of the deep and
the cataracts of the heavens

were stopped up,

and the rains ceased.

And thus the waters
began to withdraw

from the earth.

And after 150 days,

the ark came to rest

on the Mountains of Ararat.

In the tenth month,

on the first day of the month,

dry land began to appear.

And in the distance,

the peaks of the mountains
were to be seen.

Another 40 days passed,

and Noah released a raven

who flew back and forth,

because the waters
had not yet receded

from the face of the earth.

Then Noah released a dove,

but...

the dove, too,
returned to Noah in the ark,

for there was still water

on the surface of the earth.

Noah waited
another seven days,

and once again,

sent out the dove

from the ark.

In the evening,

the dove came back to him.

And behold,

in its beak,

was a fresh olive branch.

And so Noah realized

that the waters were receding

from the earth.

Noah waited
another seven days.

Then, he set free the dove.

And this time,

it returned to him...

no more.

And so the Most High

blessed Noah and his family

and said to them,

"As long as Earth endures,

seed time and harvest,

cold and heat,

summer and winter,

day and night

will never cease.

I will now
set my bow in the clouds.

This is the sign
of the covenant

I am establishing
between Myself and the Earth.

The bow will be on the clouds

and I shall see it,

And I shall remember
the eternal covenant

established between God

and every living being.

Every living thing
that has life and moves

will be yours to eat.

Behold, I give you everything,

as in the past, I gave you
the green fruits of the field.

But there is one exception,

you must not eat flesh
with its life,

that is to say,
with its blood in it.

And I will hold you accountable
for your own life blood, too.

The Lord of life will
demand an accounting

of every living creature.

The Creator of life
will demand it

of all human beings.

Whoever sheds human blood

will be accountable for it

because the Lord
has made man and woman

in His own image."
