The first line of Genesis, faithfully translated from Hebrew, is:
"In the beginning, the gods created the heaven and the earth. . ."
(Recall that the Hebrew deity talks to himself in the plural. "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.")
The 1631 version of the King James Bible printed the Seventh Commandment thus:
"Thou shalt commit adultery."
